Part I

Keesha slowly sulked in her room. She was angry with herself for accepting her father's deal. She should've told them then that she was going to stay with her mother and then everything would be fine and she wouldn't be nervous or jumpy.

"That's the worst lie if I ever heard one." She commented bitterly to herself. "You know you want to know what your father is like. Why he had left, and why you are seeing all of those visions now."

She stalled for a split-second. "You want to know what he did to you and why."

Slowly she sank onto her bed and she looked at Taylor. He was staring at her, but he said nothing. That was one thing Keesha loved about him. She could rant and rave and he would just watch and let her get all of her frustrations out and not judge her one bit and call her crazy.

"I'm sorry I'm putting you through this." She sighed as she lay agaisnthim on her bed. "If you have something else to do you can go do it." She offered, letting him to escaped her insane methods.

Taylor comforted her by wrapping his arms gently around her. "You know I would never leave you at a time like this." He murmured quietly.

Keesha could only nod her head. She did know that he wouldn't leave her. He never did. He never would either.

"Keesh, what were you talking about when you said you wanted to know about the vision you were having?" Taylor asked carefully when she didn't speak or move for a few slow moments.

She shrugged slightly in his arms. "Sometimes it seems like I get caught up in some... daydream." She stopped for a second, "I see these girls and myself, and I'm always doing something."

"What are you doing?" Taylor asked interested as he sat up, taking Keesha with him.

Keesha shrugged yet again. "Well, I've seen myself smoking, and drinking, and taking some pills as if they were candy." She gave off and eerie silence.

Too silent for it to settle comfortably with Taylor. "What else?" He asked, knowing that there had to be more.

Keesha looked up at him with frightened eyes. "I've seen myself trying to commit suicide." She whispered as her voice quavered violently and her lower lip trembled as water filled her eyes.

Taylor didn't move. He couldn't. What she just said. The words she just spoke threw him completely off guard. All he could do was hold her shaking body against his own. Oh, God.
