/> David and Hilary were next to me now. They touched my shoulders at the same time. David said, “We’re glad to have you back.” I hugged him, “It’s good to be back. Love you.” David pulled back, “I thought you didn’t think of us as family?” I sighed, “Yeah. I did make it look like that. And as I told Keith before, it wasn’t that I thought that y’all were trying to replace my family. I knew that you weren’t. I was just afraid of having another family and then losing you all again. And that’s why I died. I didn’t want to let go of that fear.”

He smiled, “Well good. I was starting to worry that you would never act like family.” I turned and hugged both Hilary and Diana at the same time. Diana said, “Next time let go of your fears. You gave me a heart attack. And you know how impossible that is.” I laughed, “Yeah. I pretty much gave everyone a heart attack, didn’t I?” Hilary kissed me on my cheek and they both pulled back.

Keith came over and grabbed my hands. I stared into his eyes smiling, “Are you okay?” He nodded, “I am now.” That’s when a flash of light flashed in our direction. Keith didn’t react to it at all but I turned. Diana had a camera in her hands smiling. I sighed, “Why’d you take a picture of us? Of me? I hate pictures.” She said, “Well this was a Kodak moment. I wanted to frame it. It’s one with true emotion. That’s the only way you can get a picture where the couple truly shows their love. Catch them when they’re feeling it and not expecting the picture.” I complained, “But I probably look a mess. That ruins the whole thing.” Hilary said, “You don’t look that bad. And it won’t ruin the picture.”
I rolled my eyes and looked back up at Keith; who never took his eyes off of me. He smiled, “Can we go to a place where we can be alone?” That’s when Diana left. I asked, “And where might that be?” He whispered in my ear, “Alone.” I laughed, “Alright. I guess I’ll be surprised.” He picked me up and started running with impossible speed. I guess he was in a rush.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and layed my head against his shoulder, “I love you. So. Much.” He smiled and looked down at me, “Love you too. With all my heart. Don’t ever scare me like that again. Okay?” I nodded and touched his face, “Okay.” He smiled and a tear ran down his face. I sat up not once being afraid of falling and kissed his cheek where his tear was and then I hugged him.

When he stopped we were in a little cottage. I asked, “What’s this?” He answered, “This is our place when we want some privacy. Or when we want to move out on our own so we’re not too far away from our family.” I looked around and then back at him, “It’s perfect.” He sat me down on the couch and sat next to me.

Keith took my hands in his, “Ariel. I want to try something. I shouldn’t even be asking you this.” I frowned, “Keith. Don’t worry so much. Just ask me.” He asked, “Well . . . We love each other. And . . . Just tell me to stop if you’re not ready or if you don’t want to take the risk. And if I hurt you let me know. Okay?” I nodded, “Sure. What is it?”

Keith smiled and kissed me. But this time he went deeper into the kiss. He parted his lips and his tongue found mine when I did the same. Keith began to unbutton my shirt. So this is what he wanted to try. I smiled against his lips. After he unbuttoned my shirt he took it off my shoulders and I pulled my arms out. He threw it on the floor. I wrapped my arms around his neck and sighed against his lips.

He moved forward laying me back on the couch. I pulled back and grabbed the bottom of his shirt. I pulled his shirt over his head and threw it on the floor. We helped each other out of our clothes and shared brief and quick kisses until we were both naked.


Chapter 10: Surprise

When I woke up I was laying on the couch with a blanket covering me. I was alone. I got up and wrapped the blanket around me. But I was sore. I looked at my skin and saw bruises all over my arms and I removed the blanket and looked at the rest of my body. My stomach was the only place that didn’t have a bruise on it. I sighed and wrapped the blanket around me and walked through the cottage. “Keith!” I called. But I got no response.

I found the kitchen and found Keith sitting at the table with his head down on the table. He had his pants on but that was it. I went over and touched his back, “Keith. Didn’t you hear me calling for you? What’s the matter?” He sat up and hugged me. Too tight. “Ow. Keith.” I winced. He pulled back, “I’m sorry.” I said, “That’s okay. What’s wrong?” He looked down at me and then looked back up at my face, “You have to ask? I hurt you.” I put my arm around him but then he gently pushed me back, “Don’t Ariel.”

I sighed, “Keith. I’m not mad at you. Please. Just hold me.” He frowned, “Ariel. You should be mad at me. Why aren’t you?” I stepped closer to him and put my arms around his neck. He didn’t stop me this time but he stiffened. I said, “Because I love you. I know you didn’t mean to.” Keith closed his eyes and stayed quiet. I kissed his neck . . . Wrong move. He got up and headed for the living room, “Get dressed. We’re going home.”

I went in there with him and started getting dressed. He put his shirt on and waited over by the door. I asked, “Was it good for you?” “No.” He said plainly. That hurt. But I wasn’t going to tell him. I didn’t want him to feel obligated to tell me that it was good. When I was dressed I went over to him, “Alright. We can go now.” He picked me up carefully and started running. I looked back at the cottage. This might be the last time we came here. When the cottage was out of sight I layed my head against his shoulder.

When we got to the house he went in and sat me down on the couch. My shirt was short sleeves and my pants only went down to my knees. Hilary asked, “What happened to her?” Keith sighed, “I hurt her when we . . . You know.” Hilary sighed as well, “Sorry.” Keith frowned, “I’m not the one who needs an apology. I won’t do it again though.” I couldn’t hold it in for much longer. I could feel the tears coming but I had to hold them back until I got upstairs and alone.

I got up and headed slowly for the stairs. Keith came over and went to pick me up but I moved away, “Don’t. I can do it myself.” To hide the tears from being heard in my voice I had to change the tone in my voice. It made it sound like I was angry. Which wouldn’t help me get him to stop being mad at himself. But I didn’t want to cry in front of him. He backed off and just watched me. I could feel his gaze on me. But I refused to meet it as I went upstairs. When I got to the top of the steps I couldn’t hold it in anymore. The tears came out silently. David came walking down the hall.


When he saw me he rushed to my side, “Ariel. What’s wrong?” I shook my head, “Nothing.” I sniffed a little to keep my nose from running. He frowned, “What happened to you?” I shrugged, “When Keith and I . . . you know . . . He accidentally hurt me. I’m fine.” David sighed and watched me as I walked slowly to my room. I went in and shut the door. I went over and layed in bed. I curled up in a ball holding my knees to my chest facing the wall. I silently cried into my pillow.

There was a knock on the door. I asked, “Who is it?” “It’s Hilary. Can I come in?” She called in. I said, “Yeah.” She came in shutting the door behind her. She sat on the bed behind me and brushed her hand through my hair and repeated it, “Ariel. What’s the matter? Why are you crying?” I sighed, “It’s not important.” “If you’re crying about it then it’s important. Tell me.” She said.

I gave up and told her, “Keith said that last night wasn’t good for him. It didn’t mean anything to him. At all. It’s what he feels and he was being honest. I shouldn’t be getting so upset about it.” Hilary kissed my cheek and got up, “I’m sure he didn’t mean it.” I shrugged, “It doesn’t matter. Please don’t mention this to Keith. I don’t want him to feel obligated to lie to me because the truth upset me.” She ignored my question and left.

I closed my eyes and just layed there. There was a knock on the door a few minutes later, “Ariel. Can I please come in?” It was Keith. I called out, “No. Go away. I don’t wanna talk right now. And I don’t wanna hear any apologies.” The door opened and Keith came in any way. I turned on my stomach and buried my head under the pillow, “Go away!” I yelled through the pillow.

Keith sat on the edge of the bed and touched my back, “Ariel. Please come out from under the pillow.” I said, “No. And whatever Hilary told you it’s not true.” He chuckled, “What did Hilary tell me?” I groaned, “Will you just go? I don’t wanna talk about anything right now.”

Keith took the pillow away from my head. I turned my head to the other side away from him. He touched my face with the back of his hand, “Hey. Please talk to me. I didn’t mean to hurt you. Please don’t stay mad at me. I won’t put you at risk again.” I turned around and looked at him, “You really think that that’s the reason I was crying?” He shrugged, “I don’t know why you were crying. Hilary just told me that you were crying and mad at me. But she wouldn’t tell me what you were mad at me for so I assumed that you were mad because I hurt you.”

I got up and walked across the room. I folded my arms and leaned against the wall with my back facing him, “If you were listening to anything I said earlier then you would know that I’m not mad because of that.” I didn’t want to look at him when I told him the truth on why I was upset. Keith said still sitting on the bed watching me, “Then what are you mad at me for? I don’t understand.” I sighed, “I’m not really mad. I’m just upset. I asked you a question and you said no. Last night . . .
