The Story of Selene
Part 5

Chapter 5
Keith got in the passenger seat of the car, and I started to drive. The car was silent the whole way home. We stopped and went out for dinner. Keith was upset about something, because he barely ate, and he didnt say anything throughout the whole meal. We left in a hurry, but by the time we got home it was a little after nine. The three youngest kids went straight to bed, Keith took a shower, and I went to start my homework. I only had a science worksheet, and I finished it quickly. As soon as I put my pencil down, my phone started ringing. I picked it up and realized that it was Steven. "Hey." I said. "Hey, what's up?" he asked. "Nothing much, I was just about to go talk to Keith, he's really upset about something but I don't know what, so can I call you back in about an hour?" "Sure," he said, "make sure that Keith's okay." "I will, thanks for understanding." "No problem." After he said that I hung up. I really don't know what to do with him. As of right now, I would rather we were just friends. I put my hair into a ponytail, threw on a sweatshirt, and walked into Keith's room. He was laying on his bed with headphones on. "Hey stranger." I said. He looked up at me, and the light from his iPod made me realize that his eyes were all bloodshot and he had tears running down his face. "Oh, Keith..." I said, "what's wrong? What happened?" I questioned as I walked over and layed on the bed next to him. "Nothing, really, I got rejected by the most beautiful girl in the world, and then I saw her kissing my worst enemy. But that's not really it. Mostly, I just miss him..." "I know you do Keith, we all do... It's only been a couple of months so it's okay to still be greiving. I think that you have it the worst though... Dad was your best friend, you talked to him about everything, you did everything with him...." I stopped talking as tears started to fill my eyes. A couple seconds later I couldnt stop them from running down my face. You see, two years ago our father was diagnosed with lung cancer. Only the doctors didn't realize that it was in his other lung too, so they were only treating one lung. The untreated cancer started to spread throughout his whole entire body. Six months ago, he finally reached the end after being sick for a year and a half. It was hard on everyone, espicially Keith. "Sel, it's okay..I'm here." He reached his arm around me and gave me a hug. He kept his arm around me and we both fell asleep like that.

We woke up in the morning with an hour and a half to get ready for school. I took a shower, did my hair, and went to look for what to wear. I decided to wear short jean shorts and my Team Jacob T-Shirt. I went to pack up my backpack up, and noticed my phone right next to it. I suddenly remembered about how I was supposed to call Steven back but ended up falling asleep in Keith's room, and I immediatly felt awful. I hated breaking promises to people. I made Keith and me breakfast, brought the three kids over to our other neighbor's house so our neighbors could put them on the bus, and Keith and I walked to the bus stop. As usual, Steven was running to the stop just when the bus was pulling up. Keith went to sit with a girl in the back, and I sat with Steven, because I had some explaining to do. He looked at me, and I could see the dissapointment in his eyes. "Look, I'm really sorry I didn't call you back, I really wanted to, but Keith and I were talking, and it got emotional because we were talking about my father, and I ended up falling asleep in his room..." "Don't worry about it, I understand. If you had called me back I was just gunna figure out where we stand, what's gunna happen with us in the future..if we're a couple or not..you know what I mean.." he said quietly. "Oh...well, I don't really know hot to say this, because I really don't wanna hurt you, I mean I like you and everything, but when you kissed me yesterday, I realized that you're not the one for me...and this is really hard for me to be saying.." He and I both giggled and we made eye contact. We both smiled, and he said "One last kiss? So we can remember what happened between us..?" "Absolutely." We were almost at school. He put his arm around me, tilted my chin up, and kissed me. The bus immediatly became silent. We sat there kissing for a couple of minutes when Keith pried us apart and told us that we were at school.  I looked out the bus window, and saw Blake standing there with his mouth gaping, and the most hurt look I've ever seen in his eyes.
