It was raining, pouring, but there was no way she was leaving that spot on the Havenfield pastures. “KEEFE!” She was furious, how could he just leave her like that again? He agreed they’d talk about things like this, leaving her for four months, with nothing but a silly letter and a dyed imp? She felt as if he cut her heart out and stepped on it, he betrayed her.
“Foster, if you just let me explain-“ she cut him off “No. You do not get an explanation, you were my best friend Keefe, you were the only one who actually understood me. I didn’t know how to be happy when you left.” She began to tear up “I didn’t care about ANYTHING when you left. You ruined me, I couldn’t get out of bed, I couldn’t eat, you were the only one who could ever truly bring me out of that. But no, you had to leave because of your new power, WHO CARES IF IT’S DANGEROUS KEEFE? WE COULD HAVE FIGURED IT OUT TOGETHER. We all have unpredictable powers, you just didn’t care about anyo-“ He wasn’t going to let her finish that sentence, not after all the heartache and depression he had after he made that choice, he was in love with her, and he wasn’t going to let her gaslight him into thinking otherwise. “Sophie. No. I left because I was too afraid of hurting everyone I love, it was a stupid choice and I understand that. But I was just too scared of hurting you.” He was shouting now, and just realized he singled Sophie out, but he wasn’t backing down. “Well you did hurt me Keefe, you hurt me so much I thought ‘what’s the point of living’ for a while. But my only motive for staying alive, the only thing that kept me on this planet was you. To stand here, and scream at you about every little thing you did wrong. Because I was in love with you Keefe, not Fitz, you. And you just left me, with nothing.” He was speechless, had she just confessed her feelings for him... in the rain... while also screaming at him about how much she hated him? “I was in love with you too, Sophie. Still am, but I know I hurt you too much for any form of forgiveness, but I just need you to understand how much you’ve impacted my life, and that I regret everything about how I handled the situation.” His usually vibrant blonde hair was a sad fawn due to the precipitation hitting their heads in bucketfuls, ‘he is gorgeous’ Sophie thought, while looking at the person she’d missed the most these past four months. She stared at his beautiful blue eyes for a second, before moving closer and pressing his lips to hers. Shock and passion laid on Keefe, while he gently closed his eyes, and kissed her back. Their tongues danced together as Sophie grabbed Keefe’s shirt and pulled him closer. He wrapped his arms around her neck and they both stood there for a second, before pulling their heads back and staring at one-another. God how they missed each other, “I love you, Sophie Foster.” He said in a whisper. She giggled and confessed “Love you too Keefe Sencen.” So they stood, arms wrapped around each other, never wanting to let go.
