Chapter 26- R.I.P Blake

*Tae Pov*

I just stand there, numb. Unsure of what I seen. Stephen shuts all the monitors off and just stands there looking at me. I'm just hoping he doesn't say something fucking rude, like "I told you so." Instead he just brings me into a warm hug, and my eyes start to water because I realize I was supposed to be with him the whole time. I made him go through all types of bullshit because I thought someone else was better for me. All this time Blake was my poison, and that cuts me deep. All this time he's been hiding stuff from me. Words can't describe how I feel at this point, as I sit in the arms of basically my best friend, I think about how far I've came, but Steph interrupts my thoughts.

"Are you okay princess?" He asks me. 

"Not really." I say looking up into his eyes.  He gives me a sincere look. Wow, it's like he actually cares about someone other than himself for once. 

"It's alright to cry." He says pushing my hair back behind my ears. 

"I'm not gonna cry over him, it's not that serious." I lie. & Stephen makes a face. 

"It's not that serious?! Now you're making me mad." He says letting me go. "If that was me you would have marched out onto that beach and made an entire scene in front of all of our friends." He says crossing his arms finally. 

"But it's not you, that's the point. You're right here. You're always here when I need you. I'm so stupid! Nobody's that perfect." I say lowering my head, tears finally starting to form in my eyes. Stephen comes over to me and hugs me again, rubbing my back softly as I cried. "Atleast I have you now." I say through sobs. 

"You'll always have me. Always baby girl." He says kissing my forehead.

"What do I do now?" I say looking up at him. 

"We get even." He says pushing the eject button on the surveillance equipment, taking out the CD with the video footage. 

"How do we do that?" I asked wiping my eyes. He then comes over to me, lifting my chin up an removing my hands from my face, then gently pressing his lips against mine. & for the first time I really feel good about kissing him. It isn't one of those forced possessive kisses like he usually does, when we're not supposed to be kissing. But this time it feels right. I'm not gonna fight him on this, so I wrap my arms around his neck deepening the kiss. He bends down picking me up and I wrap my legs around his waist as we make out. He places me on a counter and begins kissing and sucking on my neck, ripping the buttons out of my shirt. While he's doing that, I'm unbuckling his pants. I look up and I notice the clock on the wall, and the time. 

"Shit! we've been in here for more than 30 minutes! Steph get off!" I say as I struggle to button my shirt back up. 

"So we'll finish this later at home?" He says buckling his pants back up. 

"You bet." I say leaning over to peck his lips. 

"You better be serious. I've been waiting on you to come around for a while." He says smacking my ass. 

"I'm serious Steph. Now stop, and zip your pants up!" I say laughing. 

"I will, and later, daddy will handle business." He says winking.

"No baby, I'm tired. I just wanna go to bed. I'll see you tomorrow." I tell Blake almost gagging. He won't leave my freaking house. I can't even stand to see his lying ass face. He'll be lucky I don't pick up something and start swinging at him right now. Stephen said not to do that because he has a plan, so i'm gonna stick to that plan. As soon as I push him out the door, I see Klay eyeing me weirdly.
