Behind The Mask (Normani/you)

Chapter Thirty

Your POV

I woke up to Blair groaning. I opened my eyes and looked at her. She was covering her eyes. "It's so bright," she whined.

I looked at her confused. "We're in complete darkness."

"But it's bright darkness!" She exclaimed.

I rolled my eyes and removed her hands from hers. "Do you even remember anything from last night?" She shook her head and it fell silent. "Hey, I have a question."

"What is it?"

I wondered if I should ask this, but I was just so curious. "Do you like anybody? Like, have a crush?"

She looked at me confused. "No, why?"

I shrugged. "Just curious." I paused. "Are you sure though? I mean, I'm your best friend. You can tell me."

"I'm pretty sure," Blair said slowly.

"Are you?" I pushed.

"I did something last night, didn't I?" She finally realized.

I looked away. "Maybe?"

"Did I do what I think I did?"

I looked back at her. "I think you did what you think you did."

"Shit," she mumbled. "How much do you hate me now?"

"I could never hate you Blair," I answered honestly. "And I won't let this affect our friendship."

Blair smiled. "Good, cuz I really don't wanna lose you."

"And you won't." We then got out of the bunk and went to the lounge area where some of the girls were. We sat on the couch next to Lauren who was seated next to Normani. Lauren was flipping through the channels when she stopped on TMZ. That's when my face showed up. My eyes went wide. Please don't be about what I think it's about.

"Eighteen year old Y/n Y/l/n was seen last night at a club kissing another girl. Now the fact that it was another girl is no surprise, but who it is was." They showed a picture of when Blair kissed me. "In this picture you see Y/n kissing her best friend Blair Font. Is there more than friendship between these two girls or was it a drunken mistake?"

Lauren turned off the tv as it fell silent between us. Finally Normani broke it. "What the fuck?" She asked.

I rubbed my forehead. "Who cares Normani?" I asked stressed out even more now.

"I care!" She exclaimed.

"Well you have no right!" I yelled back. "I'm not your fucking girlfriend anymore! I can kiss whoever the fuck I want!"

"Besides," Blair butted in. "She didn't kiss me. I kissed her."

"Why?"

"Because."

"Because why?"

"Because."

"Because why?!"

"Because!"

"Because wh-"

"Can't you see she doesn't wanna answer the fucking question?!" I intervened.

"This is none of your fucking business!"

"It is when you start attacking my best friend!"

"BECAUSE I LIKE HER!" Blair yelled over us. "Happy now?!" Blair then stormed off to the back of the bus.

"Just remember this Normani," I started, "I'm not your girlfriend anymore. You made sure of that." I started to walk after Blair when she yelled:

"For fucks sake it's for publicity!" I froze in my tracks. "After we left LA Simon called me. Said I had to date this guy he would find to prove I'm not gay, say I only experimented with you, and completely separate myself from you. I had no choice Y/n. I love you." I could hear her voice crack. "I always have."

"There's always a choice, Normani," I spoke softly. "You just made the wrong one." I continued walking to the back of the bus. When I got to Blair she was in tears. I sat down next to her and hugged the life out of her. "I love you," I whispered.

She wiped her tears away. "I love you too," she whispered back with a smile.

After she calmed down we went back to the girls. Now of course everyone was awake because of the yelling though. When we got there Normani walked up to us. "I'm sorry Blair," she apologized. "I had no right to yell at you like that. Neither of you," she looked at me as well, "and I'm sorry. And you're right, Y/n, I did choose wrong, but I promise to make it up to you."

I swear I saw a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. What was this girl planning?
