"What was that?"asked Dorothy as she looks worried."I think something broke."said Natalie."I think it came from Blair's room."said Jo as she stands up from her seat and walks very fast to Blair's room.Mrs.Garrett,Dorothy and Natalie follow right behind her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My life is over,I have nothing left.Thought Blair while crying in to her hands.I need a drink

maybe I'd feel better.Well for a while,Thats better then nothing.Thought Blair as she

hear's a knock on the door.Blair quickly sits up and whipes her eyes with her sleave."Its

open."said Blair whlie trying to make herself look better.

The door opens and Jo walks in followed by Mrs.Garrett,Natalie and Dorothy."Blair do you know what that noise was?"asked Edna as she walks over to Blair."I..I..Dropped something."said Blair while keeping her face down so no one could see that she was and

still is crying.Jo walks over to Blair and sits down on the bed next to her."Blair you ok,You

hardly have said anything sence you came here."said Edna."I...Im..Fine..Really."said Blair

still keeping her head down.Jo looks over at Blair and with her right hand she raises Blair's face so that she can look eye to eye with her."Blair your crying."said Jo as she looks at her with compassion in her eyes."Boy Jo you sure dont miss a thing."said Blair as

she whipes her face with her sleave.Edna puts a hand on Blair's shoulder to comfort her

but Blair shakes it off as she stands up.

"Im going for a drive."said Blair as she grabs her purse."Blair hold it."said Jo as she stands up."What."said Blair in a rude voice as she turns around."Tell me something,Last night when you went for a drive you went to a bar and got drunk,Then this morning you had a hang over.You see you know im right because I know im right see I know when someone's been drinking."said Jo as she crosses her arms."Your on a roll Jo two for two."said Blair rude and sarcastically."Why not make it three for three.Blair that day the girl came to your office and said that another girl was planning on opening fire were you drunk?"asked Jo as she looks Blair right in the eye."So what if I was.Doesn't change what happened."said Blair."You were drunk weren't you."said Natalie as she looks both shocked and worried."Yes..Yes I was drunk.Are you happy now?"asked Blair in a rude voice."No Im not,Blait want some answers and I want them now."said Edna loosing her patience."You are not my mother,I do not have to tell you or any of you my past or present personal life.Now I am going for a drive if I come back drunk thats my problem and my problem only!Tell Marcie and Morgan I went for a drive Im sure they know that im going for a drink."said Blair as she starts to leave."Blair this is far from being over!"yelled Edna as Blair slams the door in their faces as she leaves.
