Chapter4

Blairs P.O.V
My mom dislikes Gabbie. Gabbie is everything I wish I was. She is free and exciting and absolutely beautiful. She does what she wants despite what the public thinks in other words she's everything I'm not. My mom thinks that Gabbie damages my image or "her" image I should say but Gabbie is the one person I won't ever let my mom take away from me.
I call Gabbie and we decide to hang out at her house. Her parents are gone and there is always wine in the house. Seeing as we are both only 17 and can't buy it ourselves it's pretty awesome. It's the one forbidden moment in my life were I feel like a rebel.
"What's up with you Blair?, your so tense and more than normal." Gabbie says. " mom keeps making me slave at the Candle light to make her look good and I met someone" I say quickly as I look away from her. " woah!, back up just a second you met someone?, as in love interest met someone?!" She asks. I laugh and try to down play. " no way just an interesting jerk" I say. " oh" Gabbie says not looking convinced at all. " what's his name?" She asks. " the crazy thing is I didn't care to ask". I lie. She sighs. " what's the sigh for?" I ask. " nothing just a normal sigh" she answers. " no that was a dramatic sigh, tell me!" I say. " fine, normally Blair I would tell you to go for your heart but guys like him they have a lot of problems and some are convicts." She says. " not that it matters because I'm not interested in him but I believe in second chances" I say. " some of them have had two hundred chances." She responds.
I don't feel any better then I did before. I need sleep and a clear head. When mom said that Candle light requested me I almost said no. Then I realized mom would make me and this could also be a chance for closure . Yell at the guy and get on with my life. I didn't tell mom my reasons though.
I wait for the men to line up and I see him. My tummy doesn't get the message that my brain doesn't like him . It flips and flops and soon my heart is beating faster. When I hand him his plate I say nothing. I can't do this he is a stranger why should I even care? After dinner I walk out towards my car. I hear a familiar voice. " it's Nathan" he says. I turn around and see him. " what?" I ask. " my name, it's Nathan" he says. " why are you telling me now?" I ask. " I don't really know, I'm sorry I was such a jerk to you." He says shyly. " yeah" I say and begin to walk away. "Wait!" He shouts. "What?"I ask. " will you be back?" He asks " I don't really know"I say truthfully. "Okay" he says nodding his head. He stomps his cigarette into the ground and walks away swiftly. That was not closure.
