IN BETWEEN — CHAPTER THREE
( i live in the past because i embarrass myself )

- COUPLE MONTHS AGO

    BAILEY WAS OFFICIALLY DONE with traveling back and forth in between LA and New York. But she was back home in the big city. Finally, home, the place where I can hang with my best friend rather than having late face time calls—where I stayed up until three am so me and Raine could just talk to her.

    Bailey suggested to meet up with David and Raine at the met steps. A coincidence! As my mother would always have to film there for gossip girl.

    But that was our spot now.

    Me and Raine were sitting down by the steps as we watched some people wave hello to us. Every few minutes people came to take pictures to recreate gossip girl scenes; living their life in new york per usual.

    "EEHH! GUYS!" Bailey cheers from afar. The both of us stand up and run to Bailey as we give her a massive hug. "I missed you guys so so much!".

    "Hello?" David sassed. "I'm right here too!". And without looking up I hugged David.

   Or who I assumed was David, because he didn't hug back. He just stood there completely frozen and didn't move until I moved out of the way. Still hugging him, I look up and my cheeks turn a bright red at the other curly haired boy.

    "Oh my god" I mumbled, as I let go and fix my hair. "I thought you were David I'm so sorry".

    "It's cool" he laughs uncomfortably.

    Hell. I felt so embarrassed.

     "While we're at it" Bailey starts, "Blair, this is jack, my costar I always tell you about. Who I grew up with for like four years".

    I simply smile at him and he does the same. But i then turn around and face Raine as I frown and looked like I wanted to cry. Because I in fact did want too. I had hugged this cute boy I didn't know and it was embarrassing.

           •••

     Which until this day. I never bring it up. Both Jack and I didn't speak a word during that whole hang out. Now, when we see each other there's a bit of progress. But I can't speak too much, I always try and cut it short because I usually start to ramble a lot.

     But there I was. Looking at the comment jack had left on my instagram. Because it had reminded me back to the moment when we first met.
