Rescue Me

Chapter One

"Aaaaaand done!" I say as I put the finishing touches on the video I was working on. I hear a light knock on the door frame as my best friend Damien stands there. "Ready to go get some lunch (y/n)?" He asks as I stand up and walk over to him. "Sure, let's get going. What do you feel like eating today?" He scrunches up his nose in thought. "Maybe we could hit up In-N-Out," He asked hopefully. I just looked up at him like he was crazy, "I can't believe you want In-N-Out after that video you did with Ian." He laughed out loud at my comment, "Oh dear girl, I Always want In-N-Out". I smiled at him as we reached his car. I climbed into the passenger seat and waited for Damien to get into the driver's side. Once he started up the car I set up my phone to Bluetooth and put on a song to listen to. As we drove we chatted about simple things, how many videos he had left to shoot today and how many videos I had left to edit. We walked into the restaurant and ordered our food. We both got a protein style burger and animal fries. We decided to share a drink, it was just easier and cheaper that way.

We had been chatting here and there when Damien suddenly grabbed my attention with a question. "How are you and Blaine doing?" I was caught off guard by it, we never really talked about my boyfriend. Damien knew it was a private thing for me. "Oh, uhm....its going ok I guess". He looked a little confused, I suppose he expected me to say it was amazing. I had been talking about moving from the place that I shared with Damien into Blaine's apartment. "Did something happen?" He asked concerned. I played with the straw that was in our drink, nothing new had happened but a lot had happened. I wasn't ready or willing to talk to anyone about it, especially Damien. I knew how much he worried about me and talking about Blaine's anger wasn't something I was ok with putting on his shoulders. He had enough to deal with already. "no, nothing has happened. I just wasn't expecting you to ask about it so suddenly" I said with a fake smile. I glanced at my watch "we should get going back to work, our break is almost over" I said gathering the garbage and standing up. Damien gave me a look and stood up as well as helping me.

We pulled into the parking lot, I turned to Damien "I have a lot of work to do, I will see you later" I said quickly getting out of the car and hurrying into the building. I didn't want to give Damien time to think about Blaine and how I reacted to it. I was just hoping as the day went by he would forget. I walked into the editing room. Wes was already in there getting ready to do some editing of his own. "Oh hey (y/n)" He said looking over at me. "Hi Wes, how is editing coming. You been in here long?" he pouted like a puppy, "Yes and I've asked the janitors several times to turn the A/C on but they haven't gotten to it yet. I can't believe you're wearing a long sleeve shirt, it's boiling in here!" I self consciously tugged on my sleeves. It was warm but I preferred the long shirts. "I don't really get hot," I said taking my seat at my desk. Wes turned back to his computer as well, every once in awhile sending an email asking for the A/C and grumbling when he got no reply and no air conditioning. He finally got up and headed for the door. "I'm going to get a snack, do you want anything?" I shook my head and kept working on my videos for a while.

I was so focused on my work that it made me jump when my phone buzzed beside me. I picked it up thinking it was Damien, we had plans to hang out tonight and play video games. I hadn't been home much for awhile Blaine was taking up a lot of time. When I opened my home screen I saw it was a text from Blaine instead "I will pick you up at our Starbucks at 5". I sighed, I really wanted to hang out with Damien but if Blaine was coming to pick me up it was going to be really hard to convince him not to, plus he was very jealous of Damien and it would start a whole fight if he thought I was choosing him over Damien. "ok" I replied and stood up. I went to find the schedule to see if Damien was currently filming or if he had time to talk. Turns out he will be done in about 5 minutes, I head to the Smosh Games room and wait until I hear everyone sign off and start to chat. I knock on the door and walked in. "Hey everyone, can I steal Damien for a few minutes?" "Sure (y/n)" Joven says. Damien stands and walks over to me. I gesture out into the hall and he follows, I close the door. "what's up (y/n)?" he asks once we are alone. I look down at the ground. I knew he was going to be disappointed and I hated doing that to him. "Blaine just texted me, he wants me to come over" Damien looked at me with his sad puppy dog eyes, he knew what was coming and trying to hide how he felt. "Oh, well that's ok. We can hang out another night." He said using a fake cheery voice. I sighed, "Damien I'm really sorry. I just don't know how to say no to him". He put a hand on my shoulder and pulled me into a hug, "ah young love" he says with a dreamy voice. I stick my nose into his shoulder and hug back. This wasn't young love, but its better he thought of it that way.
