I can't take it anymore. Keefe's been missing ever since that mysterious gun shot. Which has been...one week now. One week! What if...what if something happened to him? What if that shot was the killing blow that ended his life? A tear slipped down my cheek as I rested my head on the palms of my hands. I'd been like this, just staring out to where I knew there was an ocean, hundreds of miles away. I knew my family was worried, the other selected ticked off, and Biana was probably scared, or off doing Biana things. I sighed. 

Get yourself together Sophie. Keefe...Keefe may as well be dead. You probably won't ever...ever see him again. So pull yourself together. You have things to do. If love fades, pain does to.

I pushed my shoulders back, closed my eyes and shuddered a breath. I opened my eyes. The walls were getting closer. I gasped for air, needing something-anything-to clear my mind. I flung open my balcony doors, gulping in the fresh air. Then the tears spilled over. I hadn't realized it, but I really did like Keefe. But we just couldn't. Could not be together. Now that he was probably a thousand years away. A thousand lifetimes. A thousand dreams. And I could not reach him. Not now. Not ever. In any lifetime.
