Flashback Blaire Age 6 "Jack I wish you would feed this kid more than poptarts in the morning." Dad sighed. "Its quick, and easy and she loves them. I don't have time to make her breakfast James. You do but I don't see you doing it." Mom argued as she flipped through my school folder. Dad picked up my poptart. "Hey!" I whined. "Hey yourself. I'm making you eggs you can't eat junk like this if you want to start boxing with me." Dad said. "I don't like eggs." I sighed. "You do, you're just being a pain. See you've spoiled her." James said and rolled her eyes. "Whats this Blaire?" Mom asked and picked out a paper I had crumpled. "Nothing." I sighed. "Its dumb." "Grandparents breakfast." Mom read and then sighed. "If you told me, I could have gone instead sweetie." Mom frowned. "You aren't a grandparent." I sighed. "And we never will be." Dad said and looked at me. "James for Christ sake she's 6! Stop your shit." Mom snapped and put my poptarts back in front of me and smiled. "Why don't I?" I asked. "Why don't you what?" Dad asked. "Have Grandparents?" I asked. Dad looked on mom. "This is a you conversation I doubt she wants to hear about George." Dad scoffed and walked out of the kitchen. "Well.." Mom said and sat down. "You see, your dad and I, we didn't exactly live the best lives before you came around. There was a lot of people we upset and so when you came around I made a trade to protect you." "What kind of trade?" I asked. "Remember the magic bean story?" I nodded and took a bite of my poptart. "Well, your dad and I traded our old life, for you. You're our magic bean." mom smiled. "Does that mean I'm going to get really tall?" I asked. "You might." Mom chuckled. "Or you might just be the best thing that ever happened to me." She said and ruffled my hair. "My little bean." "Love you mommy." I grinned with a mouthful of poptart. "Love you too bean." Mom said and kissed the top of my head. -----------------------------------------------------------------------
Blaire I blinked a couple times in disbelief before I quickly typed a response.
Me: Who the hell is this? Unknown: What fun would that be if I just told you? Bean. Me: Don't fucking call me that. Did my dad put you up to this? Unknown: Nope. Me: Tell me who you are. Unknown: I'll pass. Think of me as your new bff. Have a good rest of the night with your teacher. ;) Attached was a picture of Killian and I on the back deck watching the fireworks. Holy. shit. I quickly deleted the text messages as Killian walked over. "Love are you alright you're incredibly pale." He said with concern in his eyes. "Fine. Just uh.. I think my food was bad or something... not feeling great." I said. There was no way I could tell him that someone I didn't even know knew about us. "I packed some tea, I could make you some?" Killian offered. "Sure." I nodded and followed him to the kitchen in the cabin "Blaire darling you're shaking why don't you lay down I'll bring you the tea." "I'm fine. I'm kinda a big baby when I don't feel well I just want to be close is all." I said. I'm also terrified someone is watching our every move and going to kill us in our sleep or something. "Okay." Killian smiled as I sat up on the counter while he put water in the kettle and put it back on the stove. "You sure theres not more going on?" Killian asked and walked over to me "Yeah I'm sure." I lied and pushed my forehead against his chest. Killian wrapped his arms around me and chuckled "I kind of like this clingy side of you." I was quiet. "Not so much the quiet though." Killian tilted my head up so I was looking at him. I felt my eyes welling up.
"Blaire love, what is it?" "I'm just having a moment. I miss my mom." I sniffled. "She loved holidays. All of them and I don't get anymore with her and its not fair." I cried. "Oh love, I'm sorry." Killian pulled me closer to him. "I should have gone with her. She asked me to leave with her and I told her I wouldn't leave Dad. I should have just gone but he had me so fucking brainwashed." I sobbed "If I had gone maybe she wouldn't be dead." "Blaire as terrifying as it sounds if you had gone you both might be dead. We don't know for sure it was your father right?" "Right.." I nodded and wiped tears from my eyes.
"What happened is not your fault." Killian said. "You understand that right?" "Not quite. I don't know how to stop feeling guilty." I frowned and put my forehead back against his chest. "I'm sorry I'm ruining our time together." "Not at all love." Killian said. "I want to know you. All of you, the good and the bad parts." He tilted my head up again and planted his lips on mine and then pulled back. "So don't hide any of them. Okay?" I nodded. "Okay." I said and bit my lip and then jumped at the kettle on the stove whistling. "Its just the kettle love." Killian frowned. "Something has you spooked." "Sound sensitivity..remember?" I said but I couldn't help but look over my shoulder for any sign of someone watching in the window as Killian turned to get the kettle and pour it into the tea cup.
Killian brought me the tea and set it beside me to let it cool just a bit. "Why don't we go curl up in front of the fire and put a movie on?" Killian suggested. "I brought some of your favorites." "I'm not feeling slashers tonight Can we just watch Alice in Wonderland?" I asked. Alice in Wonderland was my go to comfort movie. "Aye." Killian smiled and helped me down from the counter. "Whatever your heart desires is yours." Killian said and kissed my cheek.
Eventually Killian fell asleep and I laid curled into him with my eyes wide open.Waiting for my phone to vibrate on the night stand beside me. Waiting for anything bad to happen. I lived in a terrible part of town. I slept through robberies in our apartment complex, shootings on the streets below, and all sorts of terrible things but this had me truly terrified and I had a feeling it was only the beginning.
"I'm not sure about you driving home, you look exhausted." Killian frowned as I got in my truck after we made it back to his apartment complex the next afternoon. "Its just the other side of town I'll be fine." I smiled sleepily at him. "I'll nap when I get home." "See that you do." Killian raised an eyebrow. "Aye Aye Captain." I smirked. "He's inside smart ass." Killian chuckled. "Love you." "Love you too, I'll text you when I'm home and then I'll take a nap." I said. "Good. You should probably go before someone sees you." Killian said. "Yeah yeah." I sighed. I already missed our time away from all of this. Except for my cousin finding out and the scary text messages I felt like it went great it was good to spend time just the two of us. "See you at school monday." I smiled and started my truck. "See you then love." Killian gave me a smile that made me want to put the truck back in park and never leave, but I couldn't.
When I got home, Emma pulled into the driveway right ahead of me, and David was waiting on the porch swing for us in his sheriff uniform. Dave get a hobby. I got out of the truck as Emma got out of her bug. "He always do this when you go away for the night?" I whispered. "Yup." Emma sighed. "You don't think he suspects anything do you?" I asked. "Hes a cop he always suspects something, but In reality he probably just missed us." "It was one night." I said. "He's clingy." Emma shrugged and smiled and stepped up to the porch. "Hey dad!" She said. "Hey Em." David smiled and greeted her with a hug. "Blaire." He grinned and pulled me in with the other arm. "Whatcha doing out here?" I asked. "Oh I was about to go to work but Emma texted me she was on her way home so I wanted to wait, and as luck would have it, both of my girls showed up." His girls. I was one of his. I smiled and tucked my hair behind my ears. "You both look tired why don't you go in and get some rest? I'm working late tonight so I won't see you guys until morning." David said. "Okay. We'll get some rest. Stay safe Dad." Emma said. "As Always." David smiled and walked off the porch.
My phone started ringing and I jumped out of my skin. "Jesus its your phone." Emma said. "I've never seen you so jumpy." If you only knew the night I had. I sighed and looked down at the caller id. Jacob friggin O'Malley. I grumbled before answering it. "Jacob..Thomas told you not to call me unless you absolutely needed me this weekend." "Yeah well I absolutely need you. We are swamped and Elizabeth has the entire dining room to herself right now." "You know she hates it when you call her that right?" I asked. I could hear the absolute chaos in the background.
"Please come in Blaire." Jacob begged "I know you probably just got home but I need you." "Fineee-uh!" I whined. "But I'm leaving at 8, AND Lizard is staying till 10 to make up for me having to cover her ass that one night. AND-" "Cheese fries, got it. Just get here." Jacob said and hung up. "You're really going to work now? You look like a train wreck!" Emma said. "Thanks." I muttered "And I guess so." I said. "I'd have just told him no." Emma said. "I tell Granny no, she understands if I'm busy or tired." "This is Jacob, not Granny." I sighed and picked up my bag and carried it up the stairs where I was greeted by Bowie, who rubbed against my legs purring. "Hello handsome." I smiled and scooped him up. "I have to go to work but we will play as soon as I get home."
"Work?" Mary-Maragret asked as she came down the hall. "You just got home I thought you me and Emma could do a girls night." She frowned. "Sorry." I winced. "Jacob really needs me to go in. I'll only be there till 8 maybe I will be home for the tail end of girls night?" I asked. I really didn't want a girls night anyways and would have 100 percent rather be at work getting screamed at about pizza. I was sure Emma and Mary-Margarets girls nights were full of facials, and nails, and all that and that just was not my jam. "Maybe." Mary-Margaret smiled. "Just be safe you look exhausted." I am exhausted. "I'll be fine. I'll get my second wind once I get there." I smiled. "Okay." Mary-Maragret said. "Call me if you need anything." She added. "I will." I said and set Bowie down and walked into the room to get ready for work.
By 7:30 I was almost dead on my feet. I snuck back to the kitchen to grab something to eat to hopefully give me energy for the last 30 minutes when my phone rang. I looked down at it and gasped it was Killian I totally forgot to text him earlier that I had made it home and I had several texts from him too. I answered the phone "I am...so sorry." I said. "Its okay as long as you are alright, you fall asleep on me?" Killian asked. "No I got called into work." I sighed. "Blaire you didn't sleep a wink, I know you didn't because I woke up a few times to you restarting your movie. How are you still standing?" "Will power and cheese fries Killian. Will power and cheese fries." I said. "Who called you in?" Killian asked. "Jacob." I said. "What an arse." Killian sighed. "Yup. But he needed me. So..here I am." I looked out the kitchen window where Jacob was in the dining room giving me a death glare for being on my phone "Oh give me a break Jacob!" I grumbled. "You already had two." Jacob said. "I gotta go. I'm being summoned." "Text me when you get home tonight okay love?" Killian asked. "I promise this time I will." I said. "Love you." I smiled. I swore I'd never get tired of saying it to him. "Love you too." Killian said. "Bye." "Bye." I said and hung up.
"Who was that?" Jacob asked. "Mind ya business O'Malley." "Watch it Nolan." Jacob said and raised an eyebrow and somehow the look was familiar. "Back to work." I sighed and dragged myself back to the dining room.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- "You sure you don't want to stay and help Will with dishes?" Jacob teased. "I'm sure." I yawned. "I'm going home and going to bed." I added and grabbed my jacket and slipped it on. "Thanks for coming in Blaire." Jacob said. "Yeah don't call me again." I smirked and opened the door and stepped out. I liked walking at night so I didn't bother driving to work.
I turned down an alleyway and heard footsteps behind me. Given recent events with the creepy texts I was not playing games. I turned around and looked on confused at the two men Milah had sent after me that night at the rabbit hole. "What do you two bozo's want?" I scoffed. "Milah warned you kid." One of them said. "Oh Good grief. I am way too tired for this shit tonight. Maybe tomorrow." I said and turned around and started to walk away when I was pulled back by my hood. I felt something cold and metal pressed to my neck. Milah really was not fucking around she actually wanted me dead. I mule kicked the man in the knee and he nicked the side of my neck with his knife as he released me. "Ah!" I hissed and held my neck as I took off running. My new goal was to make it to the police station. If I could make it there I'd be safe. I turned the corner and slipped on the gravel in the alleyway I fell forward and made the mistake of bracing myself by putting my hands out. I felt my left wrist snap under my weight and I cried out in agony.
I felt a hand grip my ankle and I was yanked backwards scraping my stomach on the cold gravely alleyway. This weekend was turning out to be the most terrifying weekend I'd ever experienced. "You don't have to do this, She's fucking crazy!" "Then maybe you shouldn't have messed with her." the man said and held the knife up I grabbed a handful of gravel and slung it into his face. I was in a fight for my life and I was determined not to lose. The man grunted and let go of my ankle and I kicked him square in the face before getting up and hobbling out into the street.
A horn blared and a car came to a screeching stop in front of me before the driver got out and I could have actually cried. Well I was crying, from pain. "Blaire?? Blaire what the hell are you doing??" David asked. "Help!" Was all I could say before pointing down the alleyway where the two men were already gone. "They.. they tried to kill me." I stammered out. "Oh My God Blaire you're bleeding." David said and put his hand against the wound on the side of my neck. "Its just a little cut." I said panting, trying to catch my breath. "What exactly happened Blaire?" David asked. "I want the truth." "Its a really really long story." I said and winced as he touched my left wrist that I had been favoring since I was pretty sure I broke it. "Ah!" I cried out. "Well, you can explain it at the hospital and then I will find whoever did this but right now you are my only concern." David said. Now I had to figure out how the hell to tell him what was going on without putting the spotlight right on Killian and I, and without breaking cousin code by telling him Emma and I were at the rabbit hole.
I sat up on the exam table while the doctor fixed up the cut on my neck. They'd already set my wrist and put a temp cast on it and gave me a low dose of pain medication so it wouldn't interact with my medications. David was taking pictures on his phone for evidence which was weird. "So if you aren't loopy from the pain meds can you tell me what happened?" David asked. I sighed heavily. "Its really complicated." "Someone just tried to kill you, so uncomplicate it." David said. "Wow that is the first time you've actually sounded just like my Dad." I winced. David sighed. "Sorry Blaire I'm just really worried about you." He said apologetically. "If you know who did this, please tell me." "I don't know the people who did this, but I do know who put them up to it." "Who?" David asked. "Milah Jones." I answered.
"Wait..Your history teachers wife?" David asked in disbelief. "Why would she do this?" "Because I found out she was cheating on Mr. Jones and.. I know I shouldn't have but I felt really bad for him and it was kind of eating me up inside so I told him." "You did what you thought was right even if it may not have been your place Blaire, I just have trouble trying to understand why she would put a hit on you. How did she know you were the one who told him?" David asked. "Because I caught her in person and she threatened me. The guys who attacked me have tried to scare me before." I said. "Where did you catch her?" David asked. "I'm sorry I need as much detail as possible Blaire."
I looked down at my shoes, knowing in order to not break cousin code I'd have to take all of the heat. "Will and I went to the rabbit hole one night.." I said. "The rabbit hole?? How did you get in there?" David asked. "His friend was working the door and let us in but we didn't drink we only went to play pool!" I said. "That place is incredibly dangerous Blaire Nolan." David reprimanded even using the first and last name. "I know that.. Now.. the was the only time I went. But Mr. Jones is a good guy and he deserved to know the truth so I told him." David sighed heavily and rested his hands on his hips. "This conversation will continue at home, but I have to make a couple phone calls so you just relax and let me figure this out okay?" I nodded and laid back on the table looking at my phone
KJ: Did you forget something again?
Me: Sorry I'm really tired. I'm fine though.. I just didn't know how to explain this to him.. At all without him showing up here and causing a scene.
Killian "So honestly brother how have you been?" Liam asked and sipped from his beer. He'd come over to hang out. I figured since he thought I was still single that I was lonely and distraught so he'd spent a lot of time with me recently. What he didn't know was I was more lonely and distraught while being with Milah. "I'm doing fine. Honestly I feel great. Free." I smiled. "The last bit of my marriage was miserable." "I'm sorry brother, I should have known you were going through something, you know how distracted I can get with Bastion." "Aye I know. Which is why I left you alone. But I feel much happier now." I said. "I'm happy for you Killian." Liam smiled. "I still can't believe one of our students caught her cheating on you. Of all people." "I know." I sighed. My phone started ringing and I looked down at it. "Who is it?" Liam asked. "I'm not sure but I'm going to take it just in case be back in a moment." I said and answered the phone and stepped outside.
"Killian Jones." I said. "Killian, this is Sherrif David Nolan, I'm sorry to bother you so late but I wanted to ask you a couple questions about your wife." "Oh what has she done?" I sighed. "Well.." David sighed. "According to my niece Blaire, who is being treated for some serious injuries in the hospital right now your wife threatened her a while back and has made good on those threats tonight by putting a hit out on her." Fine. My. Arse. Blaire Nolan I could kill you myself. I swallowed thickly. "Bloody hell.. Is she alright?" I asked. "She is okay, she's shook up, she fell trying to get away from the men who Milah sent after her and broke her wrist. She's honestly more upset by that than the small knife wound on the side of her neck." "The. What??" I asked. "They tried to slash her throat Killian. Its very serious so I was wondering if you knew where your wife was?" "Aye. She's been staying with her parents in Rockport.. Give me just a few moments to get there and I'll give you the address. I'd like to apologize to Miss Nolan in person if that is okay." "Thats fine." David said. "See you when you get here." I hung up the phone and walked inside
"Killian you look like you've seen a bloody ghost." Liam said. "Milah put a hit out on Blaire Nolan. Blaire is in the hospital." "What??" Liam gasped. "I didn't think she was that mental! Is Blaire okay?" "According to her uncle she is. I have to go to the hospital to answer some questions about Milah. Thank you for coming over." "Anytime brother let me know how Blaire is doing." Liam frowned. "I will." I nodded.
Once getting to the hospital and answering any other questions David might have had, I asked to see Blaire and he directed me to her room. "I'm going to make a few more phone calls. Shes right in there if you want to say hi." David smiled at me and shook my hand "Thank you for the information." "Oh Of course, I am terribly sorry about all of this. I can't believe she would go this far." "Me either honestly she always seemed so nice." "Unfortunately most of what she showed people was part of her act." I frowned. "Anything you need from this point forward to get her where she belongs, let me know I'd be happy to help." I offered. "Thank you. I'll be in touch." David said and walked away with his cellphone in hand.
I walked into Blaires room. She looked up at me with wide eyes. "You and I have two very different definitions of the word fine." I said and crossed my arms. "So...hi." Blaire gave me a cheeky grin which quickly faded when she saw that I was clearly not amused. "I didn't know how to tell you. I was trying to avoid you coming here and making a scene." "I wouldn't have made a scene!" I hissed. Blaire just raised an eyebrow at me. "It wouldn't have been a bad one.." I sighed. "Just don't tell me you are fine when you're not. You could have been killed tonight." I said. "I'm sorry Killian." Blaire sighed. "How did you find out?" "David called me, asking for Milah's location. So I gave it to him and told him I wanted to come here to apologize to you. He's making more phone calls now. I really am Sorry you got caught in the crossfires Blaire."
"Its fine. I had to tell you eventually no matter what she threatened. You deserved to know the truth. I didn't think she'd be crazy enough to go through with it." Blaire said. "Me either." I sighed. "I'm sorry you broke your wrist. Especially the one your drawing hand is attached too I know how upsetting that must be for you." "It will heal eventually. This isn't my first broken bone. And it probably wont be my last." Blaire smirked. "Well, do try to not break anything else." I chuckled. "I promise nothing." Blaire said. David came back into the room. "Rockport authorities have been notified. They will make the arrest and Milah will be brought back here for charges and sentencing. Thank you Killian for your help. I'm going to get Blaire checked out and home I'm sure she's exhausted." "Aye I'm sure. I'll see you Monday Miss Nolan." "See you monday, Mr. Jones." Blaire said and gave me a small smile.
Blaire I'd never been so happy to see my own bed. This weekened had been more hell than I'd planned on. After answering a billion questions from Mary-Margaret and Emma I was finally laying down. Finally going to sleep, when my phone dinged on the nightstand beside me. I knew, I knew I should just ignore it and go to bed, but curiosity got the best of me. I sighed and picked up my phone.
Unknown: Close call. It had to be Milah. Had to be. How she got my number I wasn't sure. How she knew my moms nickname for me... really not sure but who else could it possibly be?
Me: Nice try Milah, Rot in prison, bitch. I waited a few minutes before another message came through
Unknown: Good guess Bean..but no. Sleep well. ;)
Attached was a photo of Milah being arrested. How the hell did they get there so fast. How did they know where to go?
Me: Who the fuck are you?? Unknown: Now now, don't spoil the fun. Goodnight Bean. Go to sleep you look exhausted. I threw my phone across the room and got up and looked out the window. There was no one around. How in the world? I left my phone on the floor across the room and crawled back into bed leaving the lamp on my nightstand on. I pulled my blankets up to my chin, trembling. What the hell was going on?
Weeks later My phone had been pretty quiet, except for texts from Killian, Will and Wendy. That I was thankful for. I was still watching my back every chance I had. I hadn't told anyone about the texts because I was scared of who was sending them, hurting someone I cared about to make a point. That and they knew about Killian and I.
I sighed as I went through my emails on my computer and then grinned at one from the New York school of Art. They wanted me to come for a tour of the school in March! I grabbed my pen and looked at my calendar, I went to flip the calendar to march and then I noticed something. I always marked the day of the month I'd start my period with a red dot. But I'd been so mentally frazzled I didn't even notice that the mark was 2 weeks ago...and I hadn't gotten my period. Son of a bitch.
