Sitting on the bench I had asked Blair to meet me at, my head was swimming with everything I wanted to tell her. I wanted to just pull her into me and apologize and explain everything that had happened but I was scared of Amber finding out, petrified actually. I turned around and there she was walking towards me, her blonde hair messy as though she had just got done having sex, something that had my stomach-turning. She had implied she was going to fuck someone else and that hurt more than anything else she could've written on that fucking paper.

She awkwardly sat next to me, her eyes darting to mine "Hi Alice."

Her voice sent chills down my spine, I missed hearing that beautiful sound.

"Hi Blair." I replied nervously fidgeting on the bench

Her eyes were crystal now, soft and vulnerable "Can you please explain what happened?"

I sighed unsure of my next words "Blair I really do care about you, more than I can explain."

"Then why did you end things?" The pain was evident on her face

"Someone knows about us Blair." I stated breaking from her gaze "They slid a picture of us kissing under my door and then they came to my house and threatened me, we can't keep this up Blair."

"Do you have the picture?" She questioned

I grumbled and pulled the square from my pocket unfolding it before handing it to her.

She remained silent for a moment before speaking "You can't even tell it's us."

"That doesn't change the fact that they know." I mumbled out still looking down at the grass

She gently made me look at her with her fingers cradling my chin as though she could break me if she weren't gentle. I had craved her touch every time I had seen her since last night and now it felt unbearable because I knew it could be the last time.

"Do you know who it is?" She questioned, her eyes now dark and bearing into mine as if searching for the answer

I sighed "Even if I tell you, there's nothing you can do Blair. They told me if I told you that they would go straight to principal Davis."

"Who is it?" She pressed

"Amber." I mumbled out lowly

Her eyes were now cold as ice "That fucking bitch."

Her hand dropped from my chin as she balled it up in her lap.

"She's in love with you." I muttered out

She met my gaze, her face contorted "She threatened you so she could try to get with me?"

"Yes." I nodded

Blair stood and began pacing in front of me "She asked for my number today."

"Did you give it to her?" I asked curiously

She paused seeming like she didn't want to answer before whispering "Yes."

I nodded and asked the question that had burning in my mind "Did you actually fuck someone else?"

She froze, her eyes darting to the ground "I almost did."

"How do you almost fuck someone?" I asked my temper rising at the thought of anyone else touching the beautiful girl before me

She rolled her eyes "You ended things Alice, I don't really think you have a right to be upset over me almost fucking someone else."

"You'd be just as upset if it were the other way around." I countered causing her to roll her eyes
