Blaire

I finished wiping down the tables in O'Malleys and looked at my watch. I'd gotten up unreasonably early, to help Thomas set up the place for Halloween night, so I could be off to sit at home in my PJs and watch horror movies while eating candy. Halloween was my mothers favorite holiday and this was how we usually spent it, when we could. I was never a trick or treating type of kid. I was very much a homebody even as a small child.
"Looks like you're all done for the day Blaire." Thomas smiled.
"Wait a minute, why do I have to stay and work tonight?" Will asked.
"Because you didn't start working until 2. Blaire came in at 7 and helped me set up." Thomas chuckled.
"You woke up that early on a Saturday?" Will asked.
"Yup. If you need me I'll be elbow deep in gummy worms and watching slasher films...so in other words, don't need me." I smirked and took my apron off and hung it up.
"Thanks for letting me come in early Thomas." I said.
"You're welcome. Enjoy your night."
"Well this place is going to be packed tonight, who's taking over for Blaire?" Will asked.

"That would be me." I turned around and looked at a boy who was walking in. He approached us, and smiled and I realized, he wasn't exactly a boy. He had a bit of scruff on his jaw and he looked maybe 2 to 3 years older than Will and I. His blue eyes locked onto mine and he ran his hand through his sandy colored hair. He extended his hand to me and I hesitantly placed mine in his.
"Jacob O'Malley." He said and flashed his smile again. Cool it prince charming.
"Blaire...Nolan." I said.
"Pleasure to meet you Blaire." He winked. I pulled my hand away from his.
"Right." I said.
"Blaire, Jacob here is Katy's son." Thomas said. "He's going to work here part time with you and Will just to help out."
"Oh. Nice." I said eyeing Jacob who was still looking at me.
"Well.. Jacob, if you're filling in for me for the night, you're going to need to work on your sarcasm and your severe dislike for the human race." I said and smirked. Jacob chuckled.
"I think I can manage." He said and raised an eyebrow at me.
Will stepped between us.
"Right well you have fun Blaire, I'll just walk you out." He said and started leading me towards the door.

"Will what the hell?" I asked as we were outside.
"I don't know Blaire, something about that guy makes me nervous. Especially the way he looks at you. I know we're only ever going to be best friends Blaire so don't think It's jealousy. You're like a sister to me, and that guy just makes me uncomfortable. So...be careful okay?" He asked.
"Will.. he barely said two words. We literally just met the dude besides he's related to Thomas." I sighed.
Will shrugged.
"Just be careful Blaire."
"I mean you saw what I did to Peter's face, with little effort involved. I think I got it covered Will." I smirked.
"Peter's different. He doesn't hide the fact that he's scum behind a smile like that." Will said. It was clear, I was not changing his mind on Jacob.
"Okay. Well..I'm going to go home." I said. "See you at school Monday. Let me know how tonight turns out. I know Thomas is excited for the crowd tonight."
"I will. Have fun with your gummy worms and horror movies." Will chuckled.

When I walked through the door. There were black and orange balloons all over the floor. Ruby and Regina were setting up some decorations.
"Uh...What's going on here?" I asked. Last I knew, Emma was supposed to be going to a costume party at Regina's.
"Well, we were going to have the Party at Gina's, but her mom said we couldn't do it there." Emma said. "Dad said we could do it here instead." She shrugged.
Thanks Uncle David....
"Wonderful.." I sighed. I was really looking forward to the peace and quiet.
"Blaire, you're home." David smiled as he walked into the living room. "You were up before me this morning."
