Blair looked through the window and saw Logan shirtless, sitting on his couch. The mystery girl was with him, massaging his back.

"Is that massage oil?!" Macy was back to looking through the window, sitting right beside Blair.

Blair was at a loss for words, but she still wasn't certain that any funny business was going on,"maybe he just pulled a muscle and she's a physical therapist or something??"

Macy put her hand on Blair's shoulder,"honey, give it a rest...this doesn't look like a simple physical therapy session. I mean, you see all those lit candles," Macy paused to point towards the kitchen, which was only slightly visible,"and look at those chocolate covered strawberries...total sex food."

"Oh shut up..." Blair said, still convinced that nothing was going on,"we should go...I've seen enough of whatever that is," she moved her hands in a haphazardly motion. 

"Wait, what?? We need to go in there and fuck shit up! Throw a candle! And steal those strawberries!"

"Macy, we're not going to burn the man's house down...even if he is cheating on me."

Just saying the word cheat made Blair want to cry. Maybe Macy was right, maybe the little massage fest going on wasn't just some sore muscle relief. She'd just forgiven him and was ready to move on and start a new chapter with him, now it seemed like she might be back to her old self: lonely and bored.

"You should at least knock on his door and say something...maybe you're right, maybe this is all just a weird, oily misunderstanding." Macy looked at her friend, sensing her depleting emotions. She felt bad for thinking this was a good idea. All she'd wanted was for Blair to get over Logan, who seemed like a real jerk at the moment.

"I just want to go home. I have to study, I don't have time to be dealing with this shit right now."

Macy nodded, not wanting to push her friend anymore than she already had. The girls stood up quietly, dusting off their knees and hands which were now covered in dirt. "Tell Logan his back yards need a little TLC, those flowers look awful!" Blair's friend was desperately trying to change the mood, trying to somehow cheer her up.

"Yeah, I'll try and slip that in when I tell him that I know about his personal masseuse..."

"Oh Blair," Macy said, wrapping a shoulder around her friend. She squeezed her tight, a gesture that let Blair know through all the craziness, Macy really did care about her.

They were about to walk out Logan's backyard when Macy performed one last dramatic gesture.

She kicked a flowerpot that housed a dead flower, accidentally cracking the pot in the process. "Oops...you don't think they heard that, do you?"

"Yeah, we heard that..."

Blair and Macy's eyes shot up and saw Logan standing in front of his back door. His arms were folded and he now had a shirt on. 

"Logan! Hey! We were...just in the neighborhood and Blair thought she'd surprise you," Macy said, her words stringing together like jumbled word garbage.

"Surprise me by...destroying my plant?" He looked at Blair, not daring to make eye contact with Macy, who was now more than ready to tell him off.

"Look, we saw you getting oiled up and shit so don't try and hide it. Blair's too nice and naive to dump you but I know you're a dick so just stay out of her life," Macy yelled at Logan, inching towards him with every word.

"Oh, so you were spying on me?"

"I-I-I-I saw you with your shirt off..." Blair said, her nerves completely preventing her from saying what she felt. She wanted to tell him that she was hurting inside and wanted to forgive him. 

"Blair, there you go again acting like a child...I should have never gotten involved in this mess. I could tell from the beginning you were going to be crazy about stuff like this."

"Stuff like this?? I'm pretty sure you've been cheating on me and you're placing the blame on me..." Blair's eyes had begun watering and Macy walked next to her, again tangling her up in a big bear hug.

"Don't waste your tears on this asshole, Blair. Let's just leave." 

"People cheat! You really think humans are meant to be monogamous...god, you really are a child."

"Wait, so you think cheating is okay?" Blair wanted to hear whatever insane justification Logan had for cheating.

"I cheated on you like, twice Blair...I'll admit it was wrong and I feel pretty shitty about it now. But what you two just saw wasn't cheating, I pulled a muscle in my shoulder so I hired this Russian chick for a massage...nothing sexual was happening."

"Oh yeah?! We saw the strawberries! C'mon Blair, he's lying right to your face, let's get out of here," she grabbed Blair's hand, trying to pull her away from Logan, who seemed to have a gravitational pull.

"Blair...you know me. I was just practicing making some desserts! I know your friend probably convinced you to come and spy on me but I'm a good guy. Let's forget this ever happened."

"Oh my god, Blair, ignore him! He straight up told you he cheated on you twice!! This man is nasty! Let's go!"

Blair turned to face the ground, her heart beating as fast as a hummingbird's wings.

"Both of y'all need to shut the fuck up!" Blair's hands were shaking, different emotions flowing through her heart and mind,"I'm leaving...but not with you, Macy. I just need to take a walk."

"Blair, let me take you home," Macy said, grabbing her friend's hand again.

Blair pulled away and said nothing, exiting Logan's backyard and walking down the street, opposite from where Macy's car was parked. She could hear the two arguing and hoped Macy didn't attack the guy.

She continued walking, not really knowing where she would end up. She turned her phone on, playing her study playlist out loud since her headphones were somewhere at home.

Eventually, she ended up at a Starbucks. Turns out, you really can walk in any direction anywhere in the United States and will always end up at the notorious coffee shop. She walked in and bought a sugary frappacino, not really caring about the calorie count. Blair needed something to cheer her up and usually sugar did an okay job at that.

Shit...what am I going to do...?
