~20 Days Later~

Everything with Blair had been perfect until I brought up shit from college. She really thought I never went through a wild phase but truth be told I did in my own way. I wasn't hooking up with random people but anything else to not stress I was down for. My parents were over bearing assholes my entire life and were pissed when I finally told them I was going to be a teacher. They had wanted me to be a lawyer, would've probably settled for anything in the medical field, but not teaching. I hated college when I tried those programs and felt so helpless as my life was just decided for me. My brother had also gone to college according to my parents demands and then ended up stabbing someone with a pencil over a group project. It was all over the news, The Winter's Killer: Stabbed Classmate and Family Friend with Pencil. He later revealed to me that he had also been taking some pills to help him focus but personally I didn't think that helped his case, the actual lawyer disagreed with me though.

It didn't really matter when all was said and done, my brother still went to jail and in the end it's the reason I finally stood up to my parents. My mother damn near had a heart attack when I told her I was moving out and I haven't spoken to my father since. It was a dark part of my life that I had kept to myself for so long that now I was scared to even tell Blair. I love everything about her and I can't imagine life without her now. To be honest I'm terrified to share that part of me with her for more reasons than I can count. Everything had finally just seemed to be going smoothly and I don't see any reason to bring my fucked up family into the equation. I don't know if I believe in soulmates but if they are real then Blair would have to be mine and I don't want anything to come between us anymore. I know to most people I would sound like a creep but at the end of the day I just really like her. The way she makes every room just a tad brighter with her smile and the cute smirk she does when I look at her. When I kiss her it just feels right, like gentle electricity and home. God wow I might be the least poetic person ever.

"Don't think so hard babe." Blair joked as she kissed my nose

I laughed softly and brushed a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear "I wasn't beautiful, also what time is it?"

"Well, it's just about midnight." She whispered as though she didn't want me to hear

Oh fuck, I'm gonna be dead tomorrow "We should get some sleep."

"That's boring." She countered placing a small kiss on my neck

I draped my arm and leg over her pushing her down against the bed and pretended to snore.

She groaned and pushed at my arm "Alice, I'm not tired!"

"I am though baby." I said placing a kiss on her cheek

She laughed softly "What are your plans for thanksgiving?"

I hadn't fully thought about that "Um I'm not really sure."

"It's coming up soon." She smiled "Tomorrow's the last day before break."

I nodded "I know I'm excited to have you all to myself for a bit."

"Hmm what makes you so sure you will." She teased

I kissed her hard for only a few moments before pulling back "Because you can't stay away from me Miss Collins, you're quite literally my girlfriend now as well."

"Good points." She blushed

"Goodnight babe." I smiled placing a kiss to her forehead

"Goodnight beautiful." She grinned snuggling up closer to me

~The Next Day~

"The kids have been a bit crazy all day wouldn't you say?" Sarah asked as she helped me grade papers

I laughed "Yeah they really have been, probably excited for break."

"I'm excited, but I'll miss seeing your cute face everyday." Sarah said not looking up from the papers in front of her

"That's not really appropriate for you to say to me." I stated looking over at her

She looked up and shrugged "I'm not a student."

"You're my coworker." I replied shuffling the finished papers into a pile

She rolled her eyes "So?"

"I'm not interested." I stated as I tried to focus on the last few papers I needed to grade

She frowned slightly "Why not?"

"I like someone else." I replied with a shrug

She laughed and went back to her papers "Yeah I know."

"What do you mean you know?" I asked shuffling the papers

Sarah smirked at me rolling her eyes "You really thought I didn't know you were dating Blair?"

"I'm not." I stated feeling my stomach turn to knots

She smiled slightly at me "Don't worry your secret's safe with me, Amber's the one you should worry about."

"I can handle Amber, don't worry, there's nothing going on between Blair and I anyway." I stated as she stood up and walked closer and dropped a stack of papers on top of the graded pile

Her gaze was set on me as she spoke "So you're single?"

"Yes." I stated feeling my palms beginning to sweat

She grinned and before I could even process what was happening her lips crashed onto mine. My mind raced a million miles an hour feeling the unfamiliar coldness of another woman kissing me. It was only mere seconds before I came to my senses and pushed her away meeting her eyes that had turned a darker shade.

"I told you." I heard a familiarly annoying voice say from the hall

I turned looking at the open door of the classroom and felt my heart sink to my stomach in an instant. Blair's mouth was slightly agape and tears filled her crystal eyes as she met my gaze.

"We're done."She half whispered, even from here I could see her sadness turn to rage in an instant "A deal's a deal Amber."

She grabbed Amber by the neck swiftly and pulled her in for a short heated kiss before glaring at me "Have a good break Ms. Winters."

"Blair, wait!" I yelled almost knocking the papers off my desk as I ran toward the door

Amber blocked me and smirked deviously "Damn she's a good kisser, I don't get why you had to go and kiss someone else like that."

It took everything in me not to hit her right on the spot. I pushed past her roughly instead and looked both ways down the halls realizing that Blair was already gone.
