Chapter Thirty: The Perfect Article

"Good morning, Blue how are you feeling?" Mason asked me as I walked into their kitchen, my head pounding from last night.

"Please, Mason, I love you but stop yelling at me."

"Take these, drink this, and eat that, I promise you'll feel much better once you do,"

"Thank you," I replied, quickly taking the aspirin and drinking the cup of water.

"Do you feel better today?"

"Yeah, actually I do. I mourned my broken heart, but now it's time to get back on the saddle. I think I'm going to call Andy and tell her I want to go back home. I'm ready to get back to work, and get moving on with my life. I can't mourn Kane forever. He's never coming back, and I'm not going back. It would be stupid. I know what I said last night, but if I took him back I'd probably only be hurt again. I can't keep living in this fantasy world, yes I'm going to get hurt from time to time until I find the right one, but that's okay, because that's a chance I'm willing to take,"

"Well, lucky for you the girls are headed over here right now. Kale went to work, he got called in. So he won't be here, but that's okay. If you go home I will relay the message to him,"

"We will see how I'm feeling. This could be a spur of the moment, give me some time," I replied chuckling a little.

"Blue, Mason we are here finally!" Brexley hollered through Mason and Kale's small apartment.

"In the kitchen!" Mason hollered back to them. Their footsteps quickly started to approach our location in the kitchen, then around the corner came my childhood best friend and her girlfriend.

"Hey lovebirds," I said to them, taking a sip of the coffee Mason placed down in front of me.

"How are you holding up, Blue?" Brexley asked, gently not wanting to get me and my emotions riled up again.

"I'm actually better now. I took the time that I needed to mourn the loss of someone I fell in love with, I cried, I got shitfaced drunk, and now I have a hangover. But the heartbreak I was feeling yesterday, I don't feel today. I think I'm actually ready to go back home soon maybe get back to work,"

"Blue, your boss said to take some time off, You deserve it. Do you really think it's a good idea to go back to work right now?" Andy asked, jumping in. I sighed knowing that my best friend was only worried about me, and trying to look out for me.

"Andy, I can assure you fully, that I am ready to get back to work. I actually just started on a new article, because my current story I am stuck on finding the person to interview. I have some inspiration to help me completely get through this, and get the closure from this breakup that I need,"

"Blue, are you honestly sure about this because if you're anything with this breakup, like you were with the Harrison breakup then I know you're not okay, in any way, shape or form." Andy responded giving me her worried look.

"Kane was just another obstacle in the road. All he wanted was to have his cake and eat it too, but it didn't last very long, did it? Now I know that yes, I did fall in love with him, but that maybe that wasn't love. That was just lust, and hate to say it, but Kane doesn't get to make me the complete mess for the next six months like Harrison did. I'm fine, I'm back in track and I'm feeling good about everything. Seriously, I am."

"If you say you're fine then I suppose we will just have to see from your actions. I'll take you home in a week. If you can manage to hold yourself together for that long, then I will take you back home to your life that you have there, but until then you are staying here. If you lose yourself, over anything remotely close as to a thought or scent, that reminds you of Kane, you will stay until I say otherwise. Deal?" Andy said, driving a hard bargain.
