One : Emerald Beauty

♠

Blair stumbled out of the bathroom, ignoring her reflection — she already knew she was glowing, making sure of that with those 40 products the night before.

The Gilbert girl wasn't going to let anything ruin her day — her birthday.

Her deep chestnut hair was smooth and soft to the touch while her eyes held mischief that anyone could fall in love with.

"Jeremy, wake up Jeremy." The girl muttered to herself before walking out the bedroom door, only to stop herself and realize she only had underwear and an oversized t-shirt on.

Mentally slapping herself for almost waking up Jeremy in her underwear — she quickly put on a pair of sweats and jogged to Jeremys bedroom.

Once Blair was at his door, it was as if she quieter than a mouse, silently opening his door to find him half off his bed.

The brunette only rolled her eyes at the sight,

god knows what he's hungover from,

she thought before lazily kicking him, forcing him off his bed and on the floor with a groan.

"What do you want drama queen?" Jeremy mumbled before turning on his side attempting to fall into another slumber.

"It's birthday drama queen actually." Blair wore the sweetest smile while informing her brother, something she hadn't done often anymore.

Jeremy grinned, kicking his feet under hers making her fall before he caught her.

"Happy birthday Blair bear." He mumbled into her hair, squeezing her tightly Blair being the one for hugs — held him just as close, taking in his scent before she smacked the back of his head.

"Ow what was that for?" He let go of Blair instantly as she scoffed and gave him a stern look while getting up — starting to dig through his drawers.

"I can smell it you know, probably one of the teachers will too, I thought I told you to quit it Jeremy." A scowl made its way to her face and he scoffed back in reply, how did she not notice the oil smell of his weed and the sour smell of his cheap booze?

"Stop acting like my parent!" The youngest Gilbert practically yelled only earning a glare from his older sister.

"Then stop acting like a fucking child!" With the girls' statement both Elena and Jenna walked in and sighed.

Jackpot, his stash.

"Got it, flushing it, goodbye." The now older Gilbert ran out of the boys room only to hear yelling from him, but he stopped after Jenna snapped back.

The brunette flushed the toilet, but the bag was still in her hands as Jeremy curses trailed behind her.

Why waste the money?

Blair smirked to herself as Tyler's contact came up before she texted him.

To Ty:

pick me up in 15?

Blair set her phone down — not wanting to go with Elena or Jenna, or anyone else but Tyler today. She sighed and went back into the bathroom to get washed up.

The sound of notifications going off made the girl grin, already knowing Tyler would say something snarky.

From Ty:

To Ty:
