Chapter 10: Just us

Blair's POV

I finally came home, around 10 or so.

I never came home this late, mainly because I never had friends. I had never met someone like her. Like Rachel.

I sighed, just her name is perfect. Perfect like her.

Oh I can't wait until we do this again. I loved having dinner with her, I loved talking to her, I loved having her around.

I went upstairs, smiling like crazy.

I tried not making too much noise because Luke's asleep already. I don't want him to be worried or mad.

I finally arrived at my room. I slowly entered and then closed the door, locking it. I sighed deep, thankfully Luke didn't wake up.

"Where were you?"

I gasped and turned around. "Willow?"

Willow was standing there, arms folded, a frown on her face. She was angry. "Where the hell where you?!"

I gulped, why was she so angry? "I was out."

She glared at me. Ok, so she didn't like that...

"Willow, what's wrong? Aren't you happy for me?"

"Who were you hanging out with?"

I looked down, slowly. Seeing her glare, it made me uncomfortable. "Rachel."

"Rachel?"

I nodded.

"Who is this Rachel? How do you know her?" She really sounded like my dad would.

I looked up at her. "She's a girl I met at school. Yesterday morning."

She gasped. "Yesterday morning?! How could you go out with her already then?"

I gulped. "She wanted to make it up to me."

"Make it up to you?"

I nodded. "She's that girl who led me to those guys, in the gym."

She facepalmed herself. "How could you be so stupid?"

At that I looked down, feeling sad. "I just... She wanted to make it up to me, so I... I thought that..." I stopped. I felt like that was the best to do.

"You're so weak."

I gulped, I tried everything in my power to fight the tears.

"Stupid Rachel basically gets you beaten up, now she's asking you for forgiveness and you just agree. I mean how stupid can you be? Are you really that desperate to get attention?!"

I buried my face in my hands, I couldn't take it anymore. I was crying.

I heard Willow sigh before I felt her wrapping her arms around me. She pulled me closer to her. I buried my face in her chest while grabbing her, crying hard. "I'm sorry, Blair." She sighed deep, keeping me close. "I was wrong. I mean, I was just worried."

I didn't move my head, I kept crying. I felt like I had disappointed Willow, and that's something I didn't want, because she's been here the longest. And she knows me the best.

"I don't want you hanging out with her anymore, you know she's trouble."

I slowly looked up at Willow.

She showed me a small smile and wiped away my tears. "It's ok. Don't cry." She kissed my cheek, softly.

I closed my eyes, letting her comfort me. It really calmed me down.

"Promise me you'll stay away from her."

I sniffled. "But she's really nice."

"She led you to those boys."

"She wanted to make it up to me, she realized she was wrong."

Willow released me and shook her head no. "You know that that's not true."

I looked down. "I just... She was so nice." I looked back up at Willow. "She loves the same book as me, Willow. She seems to like me."

Willow folded her arms and raised an eyebrow. "Mhm."

"We had a great time and we talked about so much. I think she wants to be friends." I showed her a small smile, hoping for her to understand me. "I'd love to introduce her to you, if you want."

She huffed. "I'm not interested in that."

I was kinda taken back by her behavior. She really didn't like Rachel. Maybe I could convince her... "Her name's Rachel, she's 16 as well and an only child. She loves reading and - "

"I don't care!"

I quickly shut up and looked down.

"Get ready for bed." she said and went to my bed, lying down.

I sighed deep and walked to my closet. I got my pajamas out of it and changed into them. I walked to my bed and laid down, next to Willow.

I laid on the left side, because Willow always took the right side. And she'd always hold me. But today, she didn't.

I turned around, facing her. "Willow?"

She kept her eyes close.

"Willow, are you awake?"

No response.

"Willow?"

She groaned and opened them. "If you keep on calling me, of course I'll wake up sometime." She rubbed her eyes. "What is it?"

"C-can you hold me?"

She looked at me. It took her a while but eventually she opened her arms for me to lay in them.

"I'm sorry, Willow."

She held me close, caressing my back and head. My head was lying onto her chest while our legs were intertwined. "Don't be."

"I am." I sat up, trying to have a better look at her. "You're all I need, I don't need a random girl." I know I was lying, but Willow didn't need to know.

"Really?" She showed me a small smile. Just to see her smile, to make her happy, that's why I lied. I loved spending time with Rachel, she could've been a great friend to me. But Willow... I couldn't bare to lose her.

I nodded. "Really." I leaned in closer, hugging her. "I don't ever want to lose you."

She pulled me closer. "You won't. We'll be together forever, we don't need anyone else."

I smiled and nodded, closing my eyes. This is what I needed now.

"Just us." Willow kissed my head, multiple times, slowly.

I sighed happily. "Just us."
