Chapter 20

Tara's POV

I can't say that I'm surprised that Bryce is gone. He's loyal to his dad. In fact, I'm surprised that he didn't convince the other boys to follow in his footsteps. And he didn't tell them. I could tell because even though they were trying to stand up for him against Ben, they still showed that they were hurt that he would just pack and go. I'd feel pretty betrayed too. But, they were still arguing. Well, it was more like, Ben yelling at them while they looked bored yet pissed off at the same time.

"Will you shut your trap, Ben! I just woke up and I'm already tired of hearing your voice."

Ben turned to me, you could practically see the smoke coming from his ears, "Why don't you look surprised?"

I shrugged, "Cause he's too loyal to his dad. I can't say I didn't see this coming. We're lucky that we hadn't made a plan. Cause then he would have told Damien."

"Well then," everyone looked towards James as he clasped his hands together, "I guess that means we should get to planning now. before something bad happens."

Ben, Serena, James, and I all nodded in understanding. But the boys looked at us as if we had grown another head before their eyes.

"What!?" I rolled my eyes at Ben's childish behavior.

"How do you know something is gonna happen?" Remmington said.

We just shrugged, "just a hunch", we all said together. Making the boys look at us as if we had grown a third head.

Spencer's POV

"Hey, Blair can I talk to you outside?"

I was beyond scared. My entire past and all the secrets that came with it had just been out out there. She's been avoiding me and it breaks my heart. I never meant to hurt her.

She gives me a curt nod and walks to the balcony doors looking behind her once to make sure that I was following before she turned back around to open the doors and walk out. When I finally closed the door behind me I see her hunched over the railing.

"Blair......." I went to softly touch her shoulder, but immediately pulled back when she flinched. This is gonna be harder than I thought.

"Blair, please", my voice was just barely at a whisper and against my better judgement my voice cracks at the end.

There goes my masculinity.

She turns around and I can see her tear stained face and drained eyes. The sight of her makes me want to just hold her in my arms and protect her from the world.

"Why?" I barely hear her, but it doesn't take a genius to know what she's talking about.

I open my mouth to say something, but end up closing it. I'm rendered speechless. Her eyes flash with anger and I gulp.

"Why!? we've been together for almost two years! and you've been lying to me the entire time! your practically a criminal! and I've Been so blind. I just....... I love you Spence. And for all I know you could have been lying to me. And that thought alone completely ruins me."

I just stare at her. Cause I still don't know what to say. So instead, I just gather her in my arms and kiss her with as much intensity as that speech she just gave me. She responds with as much force and I know that I don't care what happens to me. As long as I have her by my side. And I need her to know that.

I pull away and we just gaze into each other's eyes. Finding all the comfort we will ever need on them. And in her eyes I find all I need.

I take a deep breath and close my eyes as I bend down slowly, kneeling right in front of her. I hear her breath hitch and I pray that I'm not making a mistake.

I open my eyes and look up at her. Her eyes have started to water again. I grab one of her hands while the other one goes straight to her mouth. I reach into my back pocket with my other hand.

"Blair crystal aspen, I have known that you are the one since I laid eyes on you. I know how you like short, sweet, and simple, so that's how I'll keep this. I have no doubt in my mind that you're the one for me. And I will forever prove to you that I'm the one for you. If only you will just give me the chance. Please, will you marry me?" I kiss her hand and open the black velvet box to reveal a nice silver right with a small diamond and streaks of gold around the thin band. Short, sweet, and simple.

Tears are now free falling down her face. And my eyes are starting to blur just a bit too. I don't know how long it's been, but her silence is making me anxious. When she tried to talk she ended up heaving a sob. Which doesn't sound promising. I'm slowly loosing hope. And I don't know if I could handle her rejecting me.

Tara's POV

"Where's Blair and Spencer?" I said looking at the people gathered in the kitchen.

"I think they went out on the balcony to 'talk'", Ben winks.

I look at him weirdly.

"I wouldn't be surprised if he proposed", I looked over at Blake with a raised eyebrow, "he's been carrying that ring around for months." that was sweet. Yet kinda weird. And his timing is a bit off. But whatever works for him, I guess.

"I'll take a quick peek, then."

Instead of walking out, and risking them seeing me, I just poke my head out.

"Oh my god!" I gasp out. Everyone else pokes their heads out too. We looked odd, a sight to see really. But that wasn't the point. Spencer and Blair were in an intense make outlet session. But what caught my eye was the ring on her finger. It shined when the sun reflected off of it. I was happy for them. And for some very odd reason, the thought of them getting married has my mind drift off to a different boy. I found myself making eye contact with Blake. It was awkward and we both looked away, but not before I saw the slight tint of pink on his cheeks.

I hadn't even noticed that the newly engaged had walked in. We all walked over to them. The boys congratulating Spencer and me and Serena giving Blair a hug. I was truly happy for her. I totally saw this coming.

But like we all predicted. All good things must come to an end.
