"Humphrey." Blair says so quietly, it's almost a whisper. A name she thought she would never say again.

And then, she turns and runs away from him.

----
Three years ago, Blair was told to chose between Chuck and Dan. She chose Chuck and let Dan get away. Her relationship with Chuck quickly crumbled and she couldn't stand to face her failed relationships anymore so she fled to Paris and started a masters program at the American University of Paris. She's happy with leaving the past behind, certain that she will never see Dan again. Until suddenly, he's there on her campus making her face the feelings she worked so hard to push aside.

Blair Collins is a spunky 19-year-old who desires to follow her wildest dreams and live life to the fullest, alongside her best friend, Delaney. After deciding to leave her town in Ohio for big-city Chicago, she expects to continue her normal life that consists of partying, influencing and modeling, and one-night stands--that is until she meets hot-shot club owner, Niall Horan. Turns out Ohio wouldn't be the only thing that would be bad for her. ------------ "No!" she shouts. "Just stop. You want to know why I'm so upset? I'm upset because I care about you so fucking much, Niall. I don't want to. Honestly, it would've been easier if you were dead, because then there would be no possible way for me to keep coming back to you. But you aren't, and I don't want you to be. That's why I'm mad. I'm upset and angry because I could've easily lost you, and I'm not ready for that. I don't think I ever will be, and it fucking terrifies me, because I know one day I will. One day you'll be gone forever." Multiple tears stream down her face as her voice cracks. She tries to compose herself by pacing her breaths and remaining silent. Unsure about what to do, I rush up to her and pull her into my chest. "I'm right here. I didn't mean for you to see that. This is exactly what I was scared about," I lowly whisper. "What?" she sniffles as I sigh. "Us caring about each other. I'm dragging you into my treacherous world and I can't. You're too pure, too angelic," I feel myself become overwhelmed by my emotions. "What are you saying," she pulls away from me. "No," she shakes her head as I feel my heart slowly breaking. "Blair, I don't know if I can be in your life anymore." "You don't get to make this decision for me," she hisses at me. "It's my life and I get to do whatever I want." This hurts so fucking bad and I have no idea why. ------ MOST IMPRESSIVE RANKING - #10 IN LITERATURE 6/26/21. THIS STORY CONTAINS MATURE AND EXPLICIT CONTENT, READ AT YOUR OWN RISK.

Things get complicated fast. We all take a pause for a reason. Mine was to at least try to return to the same girl that my boyfriend fell in love with back in junior/ senior tear. But that is easier said than done. What I keep failing to realise is that I have grown and I am loved even more for that. Meanwhile everyone else's drama is trying to wedge in on my own and well. They are even more complicated that me.
