Come a Little Closer ((Completed))

Chapter 19

"Should Tinsley really be seeing Max like that?" I asked Kennedy.

She looked at me and frowned. "I really don't know."

"He asked me to take her out of LA last night." I said.

She looked at me with a blank expression on her face. "What?"

I nodded and took a drink of my tea.

"Did he say why?" She asked like she knew something but wasn't certain.

"Just to take her out of town to Blair's." I said.

"That's strange." She said. "Must have been the drugs."

I nodded forcing a laugh. What if he really meant it?

"Are you going to the hospital today?" She asked. "Beth is in San Fransisco."

I shrugged and emptied the rest of my tea in the sink and turned for the deck.

I'm still confused because of yesterday. I'm in love with you.

It must have been the drugs. He hates me, and he hasn't let me forget it.

Just thinking about Max hating me turns my stomach. I honestly don't know why I care so much..

"Rory..." Kennedy said about a half hour later.

I looked up and seen Blair standing next to her.

"Blair! Hi." I said.

Her smiled faded. "You forgot I was coming this weekend?" She said and set her bags down.

"No of course not." I totally forgot.

"Yes you did." She said. "But it doesn't matter. I'm here."

I smiled. I couldn't be happier to see her. She has been acting so weird lately. I kinda thought she was mad at me.

"So fill me in." She said.

"Jenna sold my house. Have your heard Layla was pregnant?"

"Who hasn't? Jenna sold the house?!" She asked.

I nodded. "Yes."

"I'm sorry Roar."

I shrugged. "Max got shot last night."

Her eyes widened and her mouth dropped. "What?"

"Yeah. He told me he loved me."

"I knew there was something going on between you two." She said.

"There is absolutely nothing going on between us." I said.

"You ditched school to drive like two hours away to help him get his kid...you made out at your father's funeral. Jai told me a lot too. "

I rolled my eyes. "Yes...and each and evey one of those times you brought up,  Max and I fought and he told me how much he hated me. Every time."

"Aurora James...don't be so dumb."

"Blair." I said.

"Rory! He kidnapped you and brought you to a party where he tried to go swimming with you and told he was attracted to you."

"I don't have feelings for him."

She rolled her eyes. "I didn't say that. Help me bring my bag up to your room." She said.
