it always rains in tree hill

coming clean

I sat down next to Keith on my bed "What are you doing here?" I asked "Well Dan was gone so I called here to invite you over and Karen answered. when she told me you weren't home. I came over to wait" he informed me and my heart dropped.

"Keith I. .." I started to speak he was rubbing my Arm and I winced. He pulled up my sleeve seeing a bruise his eyes went dark. "what's this?" he asked. "oh its nothing Keith I have to tell you something " I dismissed the bruises.

Keith looked at my other arm "who did this to you?" he asked he was mad I have never seen him mad. "Keith please I need to tell you something I did something bad okay" I spoke desperately trying to come clean and tell him. "I don't care you tell me who did this" he demanded.

"Keith I will but please you have to listen to me first " I pleaded he looked furious he didn't want to listen but he nodded and agreed. so I told him everything I told him it all sleeping with Dan and the lake house where it started and where it ended and he looked mad more mad then I had ever seen him. But not at me to my surprise he hugged me. I huggedhim back I was crying I thought I was going to lose him and he was hugging me.

"I forgive you" he whispered "I love you Luca and Dan won't hurt you again I promise " he added I hugged him back desperately how could he just forgive me? I didn't want to question it too much afraid it might lead to loss.

He held me till I stopped crying and he slept I my bed with me that night he told me by morning that he couldn't bare to leave me after I had fallen asleep. Oh how I loved this man so so much. The next few days at school and at home went better I wasn't under so much stress I came clean. I didn't tell Karen but at least it had stopped and I hadn't heard form Dan he hadn't called or texted me at all in days. Prom was coming up and we had planed to shop for dresses and Keith had to get a Tux. Everything was so great. I had told Keith and he forgave me and he didn't leave me I couldn't believe he didn't leave me but he loves me and he told me this everyday sense

Dan would look at me in the hall way every once in a while. I couldn't quite tell if he knew that Keith knew and I didn't dare ask Keith if he told I just assumed he had because Dan hadn't texted me or called me recently at all. so I thought Keith had told him everything and told him to leave me alone. but I wasn't sure.
