Kendall:

Is Blair right? With what they told me in the bathroom? Ending things with Camron after 6 years... There's so much that Blair needs to know and I really hope that everything between me and Camron ends on a good note, only because I'm pretty sure that he knows that this entire thing is over a forced marriaged and that it's completely stupid and most of all, inhumane.. Not gonna lie, I honestly feel bad for him. He deserves better. 6 years "faked" married to this man and not gonna lie, Ive always asked him what he thinks about the entire thing and he has told me that he doesnt agree with it a few times, but it wasn't set in stone for a full split.

He has told me that the only reason why eveything happened the way it did is because he wants to keep our

parents smiles, on their faces and keep this ungodly tradition alive.. I'm actually quite glad that Camron made his voice heard too, but I'm not sure if he would actually want to end things. I might ask him this moring about it again to be safe. Laying here in bed, with all these thoughts running through my head. With the encounter with Blair.. not once but twice, the way they held my chin, my waist, my hand, their smile... I got those butterflies again.. I then go back to sleep for the rest of the night.

The next morning, I get woken up by Camron who brought me breakfest in bed and a glass of orange juice. "Camron? can we talk?" I ask him as I set the tray infront of me. "Sure" He says as he takes a seat next to me. "Is everything okay?" He sounds worried and I don't want it to come out mean. "Do you think that we should continue this whole "marriage" thing? We've been doing this for 6 years to please both of our parents and I know that with us being forced into this, I dont know how to feel anymore. Ive had a lot to think about and I didn't know how to ask, well I/ve asked plenty of times before but this has never gone into full force.

"I honestly believe that we should end things like I've mentioned plenty of times before Kendall. But it only seems to be getting worse whenever our parents are around. If you're fully set on ending things,then lets do it. It's been 6 years and I know you don't want kids, I don't kids. I'm totally set on us being friends and moving on, because I'm tired of puting on a show for them and acting like it's all fine and dandy when it's not." Camron tells me as he's seated on the other side of the bed next to me. "I just felt like asking because you're completely right about everything, it's so emotionally and mentally draining for the both of us." I state and eat. "Then let's end things today, tell our parents everything Kendall." Camron explains and i nod slowly with a mouth full of food.

"Lets do it, at the end of the day, we are adults too." I say after swallowing my food. Camron takes a couple pieces off of my plate and eats as well. Not gonna lie, Camron is more of a best friend than a Husband, who I am very greatful for. "Let's get ready and take a drive, and by the way Kendall.." He says as he gets off the bed. "Hmm?" I ask after I finish breakfast and get up with him. "Thank you. And whoever you decide to end up with, I hope they love you as much as I do." He tells me as walks out the room.

We arrive at my parents house back in Saint Claire. "You ready?" Camron asks while he unbuckles his seat belt and wipes his hands on his pants. "Ready as I'll ever be." I say and we head in. "Mom? Dad?" I ask and look around. "Oh hey honey! It's been so long! What a surprise!" My mom comes from out of the kitchen to greet us. "And you have Camron with you." She says, giving us both a hug. "Likewise, but where's Dad? I have... we have something to tell you both." I start, let's just pray that this doesn't end up in a boxing match with my Dad again...

Kinda wonder if he sobered up from his alcohol. "In the kitchen, you both must be starving, it's moon, come on, let's go eat lunch." Mom says as she pulls my hand, leading me into the kitchen with Camron behind us. "Honey.. Kendall and Camron are here." We take a seat at the table and wait for Dad to turn around. "Been too long Kendall Ranaé...but how are things?" He begins.

"Well, everything's been going good Dad.. we still haven't decided on kids only because we just choose not too. But it's something more important than that.." I replied back, fiddling with my fingers. "Oh?" Dad says as mom helps him with lunch. "We've decided to end our marriage.." I say. Mom drops a plate and gasps in disbelief. "Mom!" I say and rush over to her side. "I'm okay honey." She says and stands up. "I'm sorry." I lean in and give her a hug. She hugs me back and starts crying. "Why are you ending your marriage?" Mom then pulls away from me with tears in her eyes and wipes them.

"Well, we both work very long hours so we aren't seeing each other a lot like we use to and it's been mentally and emotionally draining us." I tell her. "Oh honey, I'm so sorry. You know what, you're grown but as your mother, I'll respect your decisions and if splitting up is the way to go, then that's fine by me." She says, leaning back in to give me another hug. I smile and tell her thank you. Camron stays quiet but gets up. "Ms and Mr Ryder, I would like to apologize for not saying anything about this subject, but Kendall isn't wrong and I'm glad that you Ms Ryder accepted us ending are marriage due to work related things. Kendall has been nothing but an amazing, supportive, loving and caring women and she deserves the world. After we got married, we became close, more like best friends. We've gone through our ups and downs, drama, fights, arguments, struggles, and most of all; our feelings. But we never once left each other's side and I'm extremely glad I have her in my life."

Camron says and smiles at me. "I love you Kendall." He gives me a hug. Mom hugs him too. Dad just stands there with a pissed off look on his face. "I can't believe this Kendall Ranaè! THIS IS NOT WHO WE RAISED YOU TO BE!" Dad starts yelling at me. "I DONT KNOW WHY YOURE BOTHERED BY THIS! ITS NOT YOUR LIFE! ITS MINE! SO FOR ONCE DAD, CAN YOU GET YOUR HEAD OUT OF YOUR ASS AND ACTUALLY HAVE A FUCKING HEART?!" I yell back to him. "Honey, I'll drop off lunch, why don't you and Camron head back home." Mom says gently so that a fight doesn't happen again.

"Yeah, I'm sorry Mom." I say and start crying. "Honey, don't apologize. Go on and head home." She says again. Giving us one last hug and walking us to the door. "Have a nice rest of your day Ms Ryder." Camron says and heads to the car. "I'll see you soon Mom, you still have my number. So call or text." I say, wiping my tears away. I hug her, tightly. She hugs back and gives a squeeze in response and rubs my back. "Call me when you're home." I nod. "Of course Mom, I always do. Getting in the car and head home. "I didn't expect that reaction out of your dad, but knowing him and how he is towards you, says a lot. I don't care if we are best friends, boyfriend and girlfriend or siblings, you should never yell at your only child about their relationship or anything personal." Camron states.

"Believe me Cam, I know. That's how my dad always been. The farther away, the better." I tell him on the way home. "So.." Camron starts. "What's the plan once we're back home? Do you want to continue to live together?" He asks as he pulls into the parking lot of our apartment. "We can, honestly Cam, it's not gonna hurt. If you or I want to leave, then that's fine with me too." I say back as we unbuckle and get out. "I say let's move out, go our own ways. I'm obviously still gonna be in touch with you and everything. That's never gonna change." He tells me and I smile.

"Very true." I say and we head inside.

We spend the next month or two looking for apartments and getting things packed. I haven't ran into Blair yet, but hopefully I will. While me and Cam finally find apartments, we say our goodbyes for the first time in 6 years. "This isn't goodbye. It's most definitely a see you later." Camron says with a smile. "Of course. I'm really gonna miss you Cam and I'll always appreciate you for everything." I tell him. Tears fall and he pulls me into a hug. "I love you Kendall, make me proud." He says, kissing me on the cheek before leaving.

***

After getting settled into my new apartment, I get a call from work asking me to come in early because we have someone new starting today and they want me to train them. I huff and get ready. Do I go for edgy and all black or something simple like a pair of slim fit jeans and a tee shirt... now at my job, you can dress how you like, as long as it's work appropriate. "Hmm" I think out loud to myself and go for edgy. Black skinny jeans, Converse high tops, a white tee and my black leather jacket since it's been getting quite chilly out. I then put my hair into two buns, adding bangs after I'm done getting dressed. Brushing my teeth, washing my face, etc.

Grabbing what I need, I leave out for work heading to my car. I get in and take off. I begin to think of who it could be... then it hits me... Blair... the one I met at the Masquerade last night... Even if it isn't them, I hope I can bump into them at some point. I pull into my works parking lot and get out, locking my car behind me.

Heading into work, I start to feel a bit nervous. "Kendall! Welcome, glad you could join us." My manger says and gives me a smile. "Of course! But, if I may ask, who's the newbie?" I say with a little laugh.

"Their name is Blair Caden, they moved here from Long Island, New York." I nearly drop my phone... "And I'm going to be training them? I'm not sure if-" But my boss stops me from talking. "Kendall, you're one of the best employees I have here, super friendly with everyone, always have a smile on your face, and plus you get your job done. Nothing to worry about." He tells me. I nod in agreement, my palms are feeling sweaty. My heart starts racing and my chest feels heavy.. the door opens, and in walks Blair.

Coming up towards us with a smile on their face. "Hi, I'm Blair." They say and hold out their hand for us to shake. I shook their hand and smile. "Kendall." I let of their hand, wiping mine on my jeans. "So looks like I'm your new partner, as of what I was told." I laugh and nod. "Yes, I guess I can show you around." I tell them. Blair gives me a smile and follows after me. Showing them around, my boss tells us that training will go on for at least 2 weeks. "So Kendall, How've you been? I was hoping that I would run back into you eventually but I got caught up with my ex and her mess." Blair tells me. "I'm sorry. I, well I cant really say that... me and my now ex husband spilt. This is a mutal agreement and he's still my best friend. But I can understand the ex's. Ive been there before. Before I got with Camron, I was dating this girl named Hannah... She started giving off extremly toxic vibes, and was an overall ugly person to be with and around." 

"Oh wow, I'm really sorry to hear that. My ex was serverly crazy and would get overly jealous because she thought that I was flirting with all these girls at my old job, when I wasnt. It got super annoying..I would tell her over and over again that I'm not flirting or anything like that. I was super loyal to her." Blair tells me. "Was she medically crazy? like she needed to be on meds?"I ask, now that we are on this subject.  "That's the thing Kendall, she was never medically crazy, we went to every doctor we could go to and the only thing we were told, was that she had ADHD, but that never really explained her stalking me, constantly blowing me up, lying to me, acting very different, her always accusing me of lying or cheating or having sex with other people behind her back." Blair tells me, thier voice cracking. "but it doesn't stop there.."  Blair continues. I stay quiet and let them talk. My heart hurts. I can't even imagine how much trauma Blair has from thier ex.

"It got super bad. She mentally drained me. She would abuse me as well." We stop in the hallway next to the bathrooms. Its alot more quiet over here. "Blair, Im really sorry about what happened. You truly dont deserve that. I know I don't know you fully, but I know that no one should have to deal with that or with people like that. It hurts hearing all of this." I say and she pulls me in for a hug. "Thank you Kendal, youre super sweet you know that?" I smile and tell her thank you. "So Miss Kendall, what about you?" They ask me as they let me go from our hug. "My ex girlfriend at the time, was very toxic like i had mentioned before. She would act like I wasn't allowed to be happy at all, it caused my depression and my anxiety to go sky high. She would constantly blame me for everything, yell at me, she at one point tried to keep me from having friends or even a life. I was hers and "only hers" I explained. "Then I met Camron, we were forced to get married by our town mayor and parents at the age of 18. And that was after I turned 17 when i broke up with Hannah. Married Camron at 18 and we've been a couple for 6 years until these past few weeks, we decided to end things because we got tired of pleasing our parents. Putting on this show. I know we've should've ended things years ago, but my parents at the time wouldnt let us. The cops nearly got involved." 

Blair looked at me, "Kendall... " They start. Taking my chin in thier hand again and tilting my face towards them. "I'm truly sorry that you had to go through that, Sometimes I don't understand people's mindsets ya know? It's like we can't have a voice... When I broke free from my ex, I started to better myself, it most definetly took years but I wouldn't be where I am at today if I didnt. And Kendall, you and I deserve the world..." Blair says and I smile. "Can I ask you something?" I start, feeling kind of nervous. "Go for it." I give out a little laugh before speaking. "Would you like to come over today after work for a drink and dinner? I dont normally ask anyone because sometimes I feel like I am a bother. But since we met at the Masquerade, i've been thinkiong about you but I never got your number or anything. Im really sorry." I say. Oh god, I feel  like I messed up somewhere.

"Yeah why not. Making new friends don't hurt. Plus I think you're pretty chill anyways." Blair tells me and I blush. We continue to walk around until 5pm. It's most definitly been a long day but an eventful one because of Blair. They would crack jokes, start humming songs and I would join in and we would start singing together, talk more on our personal life, Blair is a really good person. I can't wait to have them over. "So Kendall? Do you possibly want to get coffee before we head to your house?" Blair asks me, I give them a smile and tell yes. "Alright, lets go." Blair tells me, as we clock out and head to their car. "There's this cute little coffee shop right down the street from here, I had passed it on the way, why dont you follow me.?" Blair asks. "Sure," I tell her and head to my car. Getting in and following them to that coffee shop they mentioned, I start to smile. "I'm hanging out with Blair." I say to myself alll excited. My cheeks are hurting because I'm smiling so hard.

Once we arrive, I park my car next to thiers and get out, heading over to thier car, I wait for them to get out and lock mine in the process. "Hey." They say and come over to me, once they're out of the car. "You ready for coffee?" Blair asks me. "Sure am." I say and we head in. Blair has a hand on my back as we wait in line. I have my hands in my pockets and go to look at the floor before Blair speaks again. "So Kendall, tell me about this ex husband of yours, you said that you both were together for 6 years and should've ended things a long time ago. But your parents kept getting in the way? That honestly mudt be very annoying." I tilt my head up to look at them. "Yeah it is hoinestly. At first we were both super mad, but then more time we spent with each other, the less stress we felt. We eventually got jobs and didnt really see each other oftern, at that time, we kept wanting to end things, but our parents would always call or always stop by,so Camron and I finally decided that it's best if we just end things when we are both fully ready. So we did. We do see each other still, make sure everything is okay. In all honesty Blair, when we were together, we were more like best friends, not a couple, I mean yeah; we kissed here and ther and would hold hands..if we did anything privatly, it would be when had time, or if we wanted to go out to dinner or something. Just simple stuff like that."  I explain to her.

While sitting down at a table for a bit as we wait on Blair's name to be called for thier coffee. They have an arm wrapped around me like we are together. I feel protected. "Blair!" The man at the counter calls out, "That's me." They smile at me, remove thier arm from my shoulders and go grab thier coffee. As I wait, I begin to smile, alot more this time. "You ready to go?" Blair says, tapping me on the shoulder to get my attention. I must've zoned out for a bit because I didn't know they were standing in front of me. "Yeah lets head out, I'm sorry, I had no clue you were standing in front of me." I say, apologizing. But Blair puts their hand up to stop me from speaking. "No need to apologize Kendall, you didnt do anything wrong. But I was asking if you were still wanting to head back to your place.?" I grab my coffee and tell them yes. We leave out and  make our way back to our cars.

Finally arriving back at my apartment. I get out and wait for Blair. I start to smile, seeing them get out of their car and walk to me. "Welcome to my place, let's head up." I say, trying to prevent my hands from shaking so much cause I'm nervous. As we head up, Blair places a hand on my back again and then asks if I'm okay. "Yeah, I'm a bit nervous. You're the first girl I've had over since Camron." I announce, trying to hide my blush from them. "You're too cute." They say and I smile hard. "Thank you." And we get to my apartment door. "Well, here we are." I say and open my door.

Walking in, I set my coffee on the counter, my keys on the hook and take my shoes off. "Make yourself at home, the bathroom is down the hall to the left, my room is across and the guest bedroom is at the end of the hallway, if you need anything- let me know." I tell them. "Of course." They say, taking off their shoes and setting their coffee down next to mine on the counter. "So Kendall, what do you do you for fun? Other than work I assume." Blair asks as she takes a seat at the island.

"Not much, I would love to go out and actually party, to clubs and stuff but it's been pretty quiet lately without Camron, I just come home or go to work. Even on my days off, there's always an event going on in town, but I'm too scared to push myself out and meet new people." I explain, taking a sip of my coffee and joining her on the other side so we are face to face. "Well, there's this club downtown we hit, a couple actually. Super fun, I try to go to them but recently, my ex is trying to get back with me so going out and about like that- I have to keep a low profile. Believe me Kendall, it sucks... I feel like I'm being stalked constantly. Having to switch jobs and move out here. I swear, she follows me." Blair shakes their head.

"Well, you're more than welcome to stay here for the night and if she finds or something, you can move yourself right in. I always enjoy the extra comfort. There's a bed and dresser in there, and a tv." I tell her and she smiles. "Really?" Blair looks at me. "Yes, of course! Even though we just met, you don't seem bothered by me or anything, so go for it." They get up, come over to me and give me a hug. "Thank you Kendall, I know me staying here is probably a big rush, but I honestly appreciate it so much." Giving me a little squeeze. "Don't worry about it." I tell her. "Now about that club.." I say and we laugh.

They pull away and grab their coffee, "Let's go to your room and see what you have to wear." I give them a look and they laugh. "Come on Kendall." They say and push me slightly in front. I laugh back and show them my room. "Take a seat." Blair says and I smile. "So you're my new fashion designer?" Laughing while Blair starts going through my clothes. "Do you not own any dresses?" Blair smiles and turns around, "Well duh." Blair continues to look and manages to pull out this sliver cocktail dress. It's a simple dress, very short, goes above the thighs, cute straps, in the color sliver. "This.. what do you have for heels.?" Blair sets the dress on my bed next to me. "I think so, I know I own a pair of the black strapless heels. They're in the bottom right corner of the closet." I tell her. "Okay good, youre wearing that then." I look at Blair shocked, "I'm surprised that you found an outfit for tonight." I laugh. "Well of course." Blair sets the heels on the bed as well."What about you? What are you wearing?" I ask Blair whos's now going through my jewelry box on my dresser. "Probably going fancy casual." They say and smile, turning around and holding a couple of gold bangles.

"I hope you dont mind me going through and helping you for tonight. It'll defintly be fun going out with someone close to my age." Blair tells me with a smile as they walk over to me. "I don't mind at all, this is going to be fun." I say with a smile. We spend the next few hours talking, watching tv, laughing, making cookies, and just enjoying each others company.. but then my mind races back to when I first saw them... thier eyes glowed red...like they wanted me..

Knock Knock! I finish getting ready and open the door. "Hey..." Blair says, looking me up and down and smiling. "You look... you look beautiful Kendall." They say and I step back enough to let them in. I take a step back myself and look at Blair. Dressed in a burgundy botton up dress shirt, slightly opened at the top, black skinny jeans,  and black boots. Wear their hair up into a bun, with a wrist watch to match the attire. "You look good yourself." I say, trying to hide my blush. "You ready? I figured we could take my car if you wanted." They say and I tell them yes. "Go grab your wallet and purse, then we can leave." I hurry off and grab my things, coming back out, Blair is standing there, waiting for me. "Lets go" They take my hand in thiers as we leave my apartment, locking the door behind me as we leave. "I really do apperecate you doing this, going back out again and having fun, im excited." I tell them. "Good im glad." As we head to the car,Blair looks at me with those same eyes they gave me at the Masqerade. "Yes?" I ask gently. "Nothing, I just think you're really pretty and the dress looks good on you." Blair tells me with a smile. We get in the car and head the club.

"Thank you." I tell them on the way to the club. They smile at me. Once we arrive, Blair parks the car and we get out. "Stay close to me, as pretty as you are Kendall, I cant have my new friend getting snatched away from me too soon." Blair says, grabbing me by the waist with one arm and pulling me towards them. "Blair, I think I can handle myself." I say . They give me a look. "Okay fine, but i promise you, nothing will happen to me Blair, Im capable of handling things on my own, we should head in." I tell them. They keep their arm around my waist the entire time as we head inside. "I'm sorry for sounding protective over you, I know I shouldn't" Blair apologizing. "It's okay, I understand. It happens." I tell them. We go sit in a booth. "I'm gonna go grab drinks, wait here," Blair says and i nod. "Okay, sounds good."

We sit, drink, and talk before I pull Blair onto the dance floor with me. "Come on, I know you can dance." I say as I semi drunkinly wrap my arms around their neck, kinda coming closer to them. The song GUYS DONT LIKE ME comes on  and I start moving my body, Blair smiles as they pull me close and look at me. They smell really good, "Having fun?" They ask and I nod. I honestly dont know how many drinks Ive had but I can kinda feel the buzz its giving off. Blair turns me around so now my back is pressed up against them. My ass touching their front, they have their hands on my waist still. We're techinally grinding on each other but I'm nearly out of it that I dont even notice some random guy in front of trying to touch me and pull me away from Blair. We stop dancing, "Get behind me." They say and I do. "What's going on.?" I ask, but they have my veiw blocked. "You should let me have your girl." The mans voice says, but Blair has their arms crossed. "Youre not getting any closer."

The man comes closer, trying to get me. Blair blocks his path over and over again before rushing us out of the club and towards the car. "Hey bitch!" The man yells, "Get in and stay there!" Blair yells at me. With me being semi drunk, I still manage to get in and shut the door. I watch as Blair fights this guy. I see blood, fangs and glowing red eyes coming back towards me. The car door opens and Blair gets in.. "Kendall, I'm taking you home." They say and I nod. I doze off. The next morning I see a note with medicine, water and a rose, written from Blair. "I know you're not gonna know much of what happened last, I'll explain it when I can! Take these!" My mind is kinda foggy... the blood... the fangs... the eyes glowing red... I take the medicine they gave me followed by the water and go back to sleep.
