I'm back! Yay! 

Thankfully, I don't have as much homework as usual, and as a result, I can update! (Fortunately, I am able to update before anyone passes out! *Raises eyebrows at superteddy1234*)

Remember to comment on what you think, and feel free to give suggestions!

I want to thank everyone who had been reading! I am super excited about this and I am glad that you are all enjoying it!

Anyways, let's get to it!

Recently on Forever, Foster...

And finally, as her guilt put her to sleep Sophie felt her heart beat a little faster. Thumping against her chest.

One beat

Two beats

Three beats

Then suddenly Sophie's mind felt like it had been ripped open! Pain rushed through her body from the tip of her head to her toes. I LOVE YOU!

The words rushed out of Sophie's mind before she could stop then, and she knew where they were going...

To Keefe.

I LOVE YOU!

Just as Keefe was about to fall asleep, the words crashed through his head. I LOVE YOU! He winced as they were powerful and loud.

They wouldn't go away. They kept bouncing around in his head, finding their way into every nook and cranny.

I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU! I LOVE YOU!

Keefe shook his head rapidly trying to rid his mind of the pain. He finally stumbled out of bed and rushed to open his window for fresh air.

There was only one person who could have transmitted to him that way. He didn't want to admit it to himself, he really, truly, didn't.

But, he had to.

Keefe's life had always been hard, his mom had a big legacy planned for him, and didn't care for him besides for the possible power he could have. And Keefe's dad? Well, he only cared for himself. When he met Sophie he knew he liked her, but she turned him down so many times. And finally, he turned to someone who he knew liked him, Biana.

But, when Keefe was with Biana, her emotions were along the lines of happiness. Keefe didn't want happiness, he wanted to feel love. To love someone with undying trust and loyalty. To never doubt they were made for each other.

He knew he loved Foster, but now? Keefe didn't know what to think about the fact that she loved him back.

Part of him was excited- well, most of him actually. And what had happened began to sink in. Sophie likes me, SOPHIE! And while his mind suddenly jumped to proposal ideas, there was a little voice, nagging him.

Sophie doesn't really like you. Keefe heard the voice say in the back of his mind. She's just pranking you. Or, better yet, she just feels bad for you because you are so broken and depressed. She's only pretending to love you, she never even broke up with Fitz. They just made the whole thing up to help you.

Suddenly, all of the excitement and happiness was gone. And although he had already accepted defeat to the voice in his mind, it continued talking.

Teasing

Nagging

Poking

Pinching

Laughing

Jeering

She doesn't love you! It said, It's all fake! The voice continued speaking, reminding Keefe of all the horrible things about himself. He began to block them out as he stood there, staring out the window. He didn't want to hear it, didn't want to fall into a deeper hole. So, when the voice became kinder, Keefe didn't realize it was calling his name until it yelled in his ear.

KEEFE!

Keefe jumped, and the voice quickly apologized. Then he realized who the voice was.

Sophie? Keefe thought, assuming she could hear him in his head.

Um... Yeah. Hi? Also, uh, nothing's going on, how about you? Heh... Er... Why did you call me Sophie? Is something wrong? I couldn't think of anything that could possibly be wrong. It's not like some random person who just realized they loved you accidentally told you even though they know you are dating someone else!

Keefe didn't respond. Sophie was acting, well, Sophie-ish. He knew she had to be sincere.

I went too far, didn't I? Sophie asked, concerned with the fact that Keefe had heard her transmission.

Yup, Foster, WAY too far. Keefe responded, humored by how worried Sophie was. Whether it was because she was afraid of rejection or something else, Keefe couldn't tell.

So, you heard it? She asked. Keefe could tell she already knew the answer but just wanted to be completely sure.

If you mean your, uh, love confession, then... yeah. I get it though, you couldn't resist the Keefster!

Keefe knew that Sophie knew that he hid his feelings behind his jokes, he was just really hoping she couldn't detect his worries though this one. Wishful thinking.

Come on, Keefe, you don't have to hold your walls up around me. Sophie pleaded

Okay, fine. Do you really love me? Keefe asked, he could feel his thoughts wavering. When she didn't respond he thought, Foster, you don't have to hold your walls up around me!

Although he couldn't see her, Keefe was pretty sure she was rolling her eyes. Sophie was silent for a little while, and he was just about ready to ask if she had fallen asleep when she answered.

I think so, yes. And I'm really sorry I never saw you for more than a friend back then. When we were fighting the Neverseen, I needed someone to ground me. I think that's where I created my love for Fitz. I made it all up because he was a perfect choice. I just... I wish I could have fallen in love with no distractions. No life-threatening events to influence my decisions. I know you like Biana, and I don't blame you. I was horrible. I wish I had never given up the chance to be yours.

Keefe was heartbroken by Sophie's declaration. She really, truly, loved him.

Sophie? Keefe waited until he was sure he had her attention. I think I still love you. When you rejected me over and over my feelings finally hid away. Like flowing blood that had scabbed over. But seeing you with Fitz, it reopened the wound. My love for you flourished again. It's just, Fitz obviously likes you and he would hate me- as would his family- if I was with you. I wish there was a way to go back- or go somewhere else and fall in love without Fitz in the way.

Sophie didn't respond. Keefe could tell she was thinking, and could also feel her emotions through his mind she was ecstatic! But, Keefe also felt something else... guilt.

Sophie, why do you feel guilty? He asked worriedly, suddenly wondering if the voice in his head was correct and this whole thing was the result of pity. Thankfully, her next statement cleared up his doubt.

Well, it's just, I feel like I'm stealing you from Biana, Sophie transmitted quickly, And yet, I feel like she should be with Dex, but that thought makes me feel even more guilty because it's me being selfish.

I think she should be with Dex as well, Keefe thought quietly.

You do? Sophie asked incredulously. I... wow. Okay, well thinking about what you said before about falling in love without Fitz trying to murder us? I have an idea... But, you might want to come over.

Yeah, Foster? You want me to come over in the middle of the night? What's your idea? Cuddling, 'cause if so, I'm in!

NO KEEFE! Sophie shouted through her mind, she could imagine his smirk. I think I figured out a way to teleport us to the human world. I can make us college students or something like that. All of our friends will be in the alternative universe as well. But, you and I wouldn't know each other. We would meet there and have to fall in love. But, I guess we're kind of in love now. There is a chance, that if we decide to do this, we won't fall in love again.

She was quiet and Keefe didn't respond.

Keefe? Sophie asked, waiting for a response. She finally got one.

Foster, if we fell in love once, I have no doubt I can charm you again, Keefe thought confidently.

So you want to take the risk?

If it means it will erase all of Biana's feelings for me, get Fitz out of the way, and stop you from feeling guilty, then YES! Definitely! Keefe answered her question without a doubt.

Okay then. 

DUN DUN DUN!!!!!!!!!!! Well, that's all for today folks! Again, I want to thank everyone who reads! I will try to update soon!
