11) Her

It has been three days since the party at George's house, three days without Blake. At the first day, it was said that he wasn't feeling well. I believed that, because I saw how much he drank the day before. Plus, I had a lot of things on my mind... like Justin's kiss. I still remember the events as if it was minutes ago.

Justin came to me and told me that he needs to tell me something very important. I followed him until we stood in front of the house door.

His tongue ran over his lips, "listen, Harper, I can't contain myself anymore. I know that you will think that I am being rash, but trust me I am not. I didn't hide it from you so I am sure that you know exactly how I feel about you. Harper, I love you!"

I stood there frozen with an open mouth. Though as he said, he didn't hide his feelings, but I never thought that he will confess to me. He was looking at my eyes searching for an answer, but I am too shocked to speak a word. So, I keep staring at him.

"Oh, damn it," he whispered before he crashed his lips to mine. I forgot for a second everything and kissed him back. This was my first kiss in the last year and I lost myself a little before I realized everything and pushed him away.

He is now a good five feet away from me. I shake my head, "I am sorry, Justin but I don't share your feelings!"

He smiles sadly, "but this kiss..."

I shake my head harder, "I felt nothing. I tried, Justin, but I can't. I am sorry!"

And before he can say another word, I run back to the room.

I didn't see him or Blake for the rest of the night. I tried to talk to Justin in the next day, but he left once I reached him. Till today, things are weird between us and he doesn't want to talk.

On the other hand, things are going great with Mary. I can't believe that Samantha's words affected her that much. After what happened with Samantha, I approached Mary. She was looking at a bunch of CDs and I found a CD by my favourite band. Turns out, that it was her favourite band, too. From that point, we started talking more. It's not like we became best friends, but she stopped harassing me and we wave at each other, every day.

Though I am happy about my relationship with Mary, I am still very worried about Blake. Where is he? He is not the type to ignore his responsibilities.

When we finish rehearing for the day; I walk to George to ask him about Blake.

He shakes his head, "I really don't know what's wrong with him. He would never leave this play for sickness and if I know him and I do, he isn't even sick"

I frown, "not sick? Then why is he not here?"

He sighs, "I don't know, but he doesn't sound like himself, he sounds drained."

With each word, I worry more and more. What could have happened to him?

I bite my lower lip, "George, can you give me Blake's address?"

He raises an eyebrow, "you are going to pay him a visit?"

I nod, "I want to make sure that he is OK. Though we didn't start on good terms, we became... closer throughout the days."

That's why I am ringing Blake's doorbell, waiting for him to answer.
