Setting: 6pm, Proctor Library at Spenser Academy, Blaise is studying, Reid comes over to bug her

Eleven: Quiet in the library

"Missed you at lunch today."

"Huh? Oh, hey! Yah, I was busy with Tyler."

"Busy or getting busy?…I'll take your disturbingly happy-go-lucky smile as a sign of the latter."

"Ooh, you're perceptive today, Garwin. Wake up on the right side of the bed for a change?"

"Actually, as I recall, I was on the wrong side of the bed because someone invaded my room."

"That's unfortunate."

"Meh, she was cute, I was able to cope."

"Well, don't worry. It won't happen again, I assure you."

"Honestly Blaise? I'd give anything for it to happen again. That was the best I've slept in weeks."

"You…you were just tipsy. Alcohol is a depressant, it's supposed to make you sleepy."

"For some reason I don't think it was the glass of bourbon and shot of whiskey that calmed me down."

"Then why were you so intent on pushing me away last night? I don't get it Reid. I mean I know you're just joking when you flirt with me but…am I really that undesirable?…Don't just sit there and sigh, okay. You can tell me, I'll get over it. Best friends forever, remember?"

"I tried to explain this last night, you don't remember?"

"No? I was drunk, remember that?"

"Heh, yah, I definitely do."

"So? Be nice and just tell me again.

"I just didn't want either of us to do anything stupid."

"That's kind of unavoidable when both of us are involved. We've always been a pretty screwed up pair."

"Yah, but I think we've got too much trouble left to cause."

"Are you really worried something might…I dunno, drive us apart?"

"If one of us did something stupid, yah."

"Well, I was the one who was drunk."

"Which is why I stopped drinking. As much as it pained me to do so…"

"Heh, well, I appreciate the sacrifice. Although I'm still trying to completely understand what you're saying."

"Imagine if we had both been blitzed last night. And then you'd crawled into bed with me. Just imagine that for me."

"You don't think we'd have kept it innocent."

"You do?"

"…"

"Well?"

"I don't…I don't really know."

"Exactly."

"Reid, I love Tyler"-

"Ha, yah, I know."

"I do. I know it's hard for you to comprehend, what with your longest relationship having lasted two weeks, but some people do fall in love. I haven't stayed with Tyler for six months because I don't love him."

"Six months is a long time to love someone. But you know what? Ten years is a hell of a lot longer. I'll see you around Blaise. Have fun with the love of your life tonight."

So, I just realized I only have one more chapter written out. I thought I had more, but I don't. That doesn't mean there's only one more chapter left, it just means that after the 12th chapter it might be a little while before I update again. How long of a little while? I can't make any promises since I haven't been into Reid in...months lol Which trust me, feels a lot longer than it sounds. What can I say shrug I've always kinda been a Caleb girl at heart (shh don't tell lol). Anyways, Just thought it fair to warn you. Thanks to my reviewers! Love you guys ;)
