Tane

I've been trying to find Blaire but it seems like she faded away like she was just a dream. I don't even know why I want to find her. I let out a frustrated sigh.

"Let me guess, you're thinking about Blaire." Lewis said with a smirk on his face. We were in my office. I had called him for some help but now I regretted my decision. "You know even if you find her, you'll get nothing out of this. It's not like she's eager to see you."

He's been going at me for the past week. I know what I did was wrong but it was a moment of weakness. I was never rejected before. I always got what I want.

"Can you just shut up for one moment Lewis? Instead of giving me shit, help me." I said while running my hand through my hairs and pulling at the ends of it. I've never been this anxious. What if something happened to her? No that couldn't be it. But I couldn't shake the unsettling feeling of me.

I regret everything I've done to her.

I also talked to my mom about her and admitted all my wrongs to her. She ofcourse was very disappointed in me. Remembering her words "I thought I raised you much better than this, Tane Eaton." After that she spoke some sense into me. I couldn't believe I acted so childish.

I had to make things right again. So I called the newspaper company and told them to write that 'what Blaire said'  had been a mere rumour and nothing was true.

I couldn't imagine how hurt she was. I took my jacket and pants off and laid in bed. I wish I could apologize to her.

Blaire

Exploring London was a great idea. I learned more about the city and now I know which underground lines I needed to take to certain places.

Today I had my job interview. I felt so nervous. What do I do if they don't hire me? I took a deep breath to calm me a bit down.

"Everything's going to be fine, honey. If they for some reason don't end up hiring you, you can always look at other places. London is a big city." My mom said reassuring tone.

"Thank you mom. I know but I just want to start working as soon as possible." I missed doing my job and I need to earn money. I'll soon turn 25 and I want to purchase an apartment by then. I knew my mom was seeing someone and she needed her privacy.

"I understand but don't overstress yourself." My mom said while giving my hand a squeeze. Then she stood up and bend down to kiss my forehead. "I'm going to head off to work now. Good luck, honey."

Now I'm left alone with my nerves. I looked at the clock and decided to leave. It's better to be early than late.

A few hours later, I was standing outside with still no job. Next to me was standing a girl who just also tried applying.

She turned around to look at me. "How you also been trying so hard to find a job but failing miserably?" Her British accent strong. I couldn't help but be in awe with it. I loved Britidh accents. She took a sit on the bench outside the practice. I let out a sigh and took a sit next to her.

"Yes. I don't know what we're doing wrong. I mean, they had told me that finding a job as a dentist would be easy."

"They told me the same. Oh by the way, I'm Emily. Nice to meet you." She extended her hand, which I took.

"Blaire and it's also nice to meet you." We sat in silence for some moment before she broke it.

"I have an excellent idea. It might sound absurd since we just met but it will benefit us both."

I looked at her. "Well if it benefits us, tell me your idea."

"We should start our own practice. My dad could help us with getting a building and we could decor it as we would like to." That was a smart idea and it did benefit us both.

"That's such a good idea. I'm down for it." Emily let out a squeal and hugged me.

"We'll make all the people who didn't hire regret their decision. Let's grab some food and get to know each other better." She stood up and patted around her clothes to clean it.

"Let's go then." I stood up.

We told each other the basic information about us as in full name, birthday etc. and we also joked around.

Things will be alright after all.

Lewis

I felt bad for lying to my best friend but he needed this as a wake up call. He couldn't just do what he desired to without thinking of people's feelings.

I had found out where Blaire is, the moment she left. London. I'm happy she decided to start a fresh begin somewhere else. She needed it after what my idiot of a friend did to her.

Soon I'll tell him where she is but for now he needed to suffer.
