Chapter 46: Rachel and Blair

Luke's POV

"I can't believe you had to miss lunch break to go talk to my parents and Blair." I shook my head, it was unbelievable. I get why my parents did it, it's just stupid. Nick's been nice to Blair, he took her to the dance... And then she accuses him of all these things.

Nick shrugged. "It's alright, I was able to explain my side of the story."

I looked at him. "And did they believe you?"

"Yeah," We continued walking towards the exit of school. "I just don't like it that Blair said I did all those things." He looked in front of him, as if thinking about something. "I tried my best for her, especially during the dance."

"I know, bud." I patted his back. "She'll get over it."

"Who?"

We both stopped and saw Rachel standing there, she had been waiting for me, I bet. "Hey babe." I leaned in for a kiss but she didn't want that. "Babe?"

"Answer me."

I backed off a little and saw Nick look at us, from the corner of my eyes. "Blair."

"What about her?"

I looked at Nick. "Me, her and her parents talked about everything this lunch break."

Rachel nodded slowly. "And?"

"And everything's good now."

She looked away a little. She then looked at me again. "I'm going already, I'll see you later." Before I could say or do anything, she was gone.

I sighed.

"What's up with that?"

I shrugged. "She and Blair have a good connection, I guess."

Nick chuckled.

"What?"

He shrugged.

I looked at him. "You know more, don't you?" By now our group had caught up to us.

"Well I'm not completely sure about it, but most of us think we do."

I looked at Nick, then at the group, then back at Nick. "What is it?"

Nick looked at the group, they all looked down. Was it that bad? I looked back at Nick, who sighed. "Keep in mind that we're not sure," He started to which I slowly nodded. "We think Rachel and Blair are having a thing."

I blinked, letting that sink in.

"You know... An affair."

I looked at him. "That's nonsense." I looked at the group, they all looked down again. "You all believe that?"

They nodded.

I looked at Nick. "Why do you think so?"

"Well Rachel's behavior changed a lot since that sleepover, she's always looking for Blair, and they sometimes run off together..." He gave me a look. "Do you know what they did during that sleepover?"

I slowly looked down. "No, but..." I sighed. I looked back up at him. "They can't do that to me."

Nick shrugged. "We're not sure so we don't want to accuse them."

I nodded. "Ok."

Blair's POV

I was still lying in the couch, I was so bored. There was literally nothing I could do. If I had my phone, maybe I could've done something. But mom took that away as well, saying I could use it to talk to Willow...

Poor Willow. She has no clue what was going on. I wonder where she is now. Would she come by during the day or night?

Suddenly the doorbell rang. I got up, happy that I could finally do something, and walked to the door. 

I opened it and saw Rachel, she immediately hugged me. I held on to her for a while, I really needed this.

She pulled back a little. "How is everything going?"

I sighed. "They all believe Nick."

Rachel nodded. "That's what I was afraid of." She looked inside my house. "Where are your parents?"

I looked behind me. "In there somewhere. You know, I'm not aloud to be alone."

Rachel gave me an apologetic look. She walked past me and then to my parents. "I'm going for a walk with Blair, if that's ok."

Mom and dad looked from Rachel to me, they smiled. "That'd be good for her."

Rachel smiled and then looked at me. "Go get ready."

I smiled and hurried, I was finally going to go out of my house! Freedom!

Meanwhile Rachel put her backpack down. "Can I leave that here?"

"Of course," Mom smiled at her. "Are you staying for dinner as well?"

I was ready and walked back to them. Rachel looked from me to mom. "Sure, I'd love that."

Mom nodded.

"Shall we?" Rachel walked to me, presenting her arm.

I smiled and hooked arms with her. "Bye." I said to mom and dad, and finally left the house.

We were walking through the streets, arms linked. "So, you weren't in school today." She looked at me. "I was actually worried."

I looked at her. "I don't know why they wouldn't let me go either. Instead, I played games the whole day."

Rachel pulled her arm back, only to hold my hand instead. She intertwined our fingers. "Why didn't they let you go?"

I looked at our hands, this felt really good. I felt like... Like we had something here. I looked back up at her and saw her smiling at me. "What?"

"Are our hands so beautiful?"

I chuckled. "I love our hands like this."

Rachel smiled at me, it was a warm smile. "Me too." She then looked in front of her. "Me too." She repeated.

"Are you ok?"

She nodded. "I've been thinking."

"About?"

She sighed. "Me, you, Luke... Us." She looked at me. "It's complicated."

I nodded. "I understand."

Rachel made us both stop walking and faced me. "You're very sweet, Blair." With her free hand she caressed my face. "If it weren't for Willow..."

I blinked, what did that mean? "What?"

She smiled a little. "Well she took you from me."

"Not true." I smiled, I loved her being possessive. "I told you my feelings before Willow and me got together."

Rachel nodded. "I should've taken my chance then."

I nodded. "Correct. Your loss."

Rachel laughed. "I love your confidence."

"It's all thanks to you, and Willow." I looked down a little, blushing. "I really love you two."

Rachel made me look at her again, she caressed my face while slowly leaning in again. I wrapped my arms around her neck while she moved hers and wrapped them around my waist. "I love this more than us holding hands." She whispered on my lips.

I smiled a little and nodded. "This is perfect."

"Absolutely." She leaned in and our lips connected. "I love you, Blair."

"I love you too, Rachel."

"What the hell!" We both looked at our left and saw Luke and Nick standing there.
