Part Five

Blair was aiming for a record of sleepless nights. She had pretended to sleep until Mrs. Garrett went to bed. Blair knew that Tara would be up; it was just a gut feeling. And she was right. Tara was pulling off the bandage that covered her knee, hissing in air as it began to hurt.

"What are you doing?" Blair came up to sit next to her to pull off the bandage. Her voice sounded kind of worried but it held a tint of authority in it.

"Hello to you too. I'm irritated with this damn thing so I'm getting rid of it. I didn't need it in the first place." She grinned at Blair. Blair smiled back, making sure to be easy with the bandage. Finally she managed to get it off.

Tara was silent for a moment then look up at Blair with quite eyes that held the world in Blair's opinion. "Were you really worried about me?" She nearly whispered out.

Blair studied her eyes then looked down to the floor as her heart was racing. "Yes I was scared to death when I heard you were in the hospital." She started to tear up. "And I don't know why. All I could think about was how I didn't want you to die." She turned her head away from Tara's eyes so that she couldn't see her cry.

"Hey, don't cry." Tara scooted closer to Blair. She hooked her finger under Blair's chin to make their eyes meet. "I missed you so much. I almost didn't leave that morning." Blair smiled a little. "Cara had to push me into the cab because I didn't want to leave you."

They stared into each other's eyes trying to make heads or tails of this situation. Was Blair's heart really pounding at the thought of kissing this girl? Was Tara feeling the same way? Or was she just mistaken and getting her hopes up for something that may or may not happen?

But then Tara grinned. She leaned down to capture Blair's lips with her own. To her it was like the world stopped as she melted into that kiss. But in just a short while it was over with. She wanted to continue but she needed to see Blair's reaction. She needed to know that what she had just done was ok with Blair. Tara pulled away to see Blair still had her eyes closed.

"Why'd you stop, is something wrong?" Fear coursed through her. Sure she was the self proclaimed heartbreaker of the school but she didn't exactly know what to do when it came to kissing. Especially with another girl.

"Nothing's wrong. I just wanted to make sure that you're alright with the fact that a girl just kissed you."

Blair sat motionless for a few moments, trying to gather her emotions and how she really felt. Was she really ok with the kiss? Granted it was a nice kiss. And prior to it she was wishing it would happen so what was her conclusion? A mixed decision in her mind but she knew that Tara needed an answer and quick. But she feared that she had waited too long to answer now.

Sensing that her presence was unwanted now, Tara attempted to stand but was stopped but Blair's hands. "Please don't leave." She pleaded. Blair's hands tightened around Tara's left arm trying to prove that she didn't want her to go.

Tara shook her head no. "I can tell when I've overstepped my boundaries so I'm just going to go back to my room and pretend that this never happened." Her head was hung down in shame. She tried for a second time to stand and wasn't that surprised when Blair let her go.

Tara's mind was filled with a mix of emotions, the number one being how stupid she was to pull a stunt like that on Blair, the queen of the school. She must have been wrong about the vibes she was getting from the blonde.

"Goodnight." Blair whispered to herself and collapsed back onto the couch in tears.

Why hadn't she stopped Tara from leaving? Is this what she wanted, a relationship with a girl? Or is this how things should have to be, Blair Warner the straight girl who would never be friends with a lesbian? Things were moving entirely too fast for her to think of anything but how she may have just missed out on the greatest chance in the world because of what other people might have thought or said.


TBC...sorry it took so long for this chapter. I've got a lot going on and about six other stories that I'm trying to finish. I'm kind of addicted to All My Children right now so I'm trying to put them out quickly.
