I can tell by her face that Zeke’s standing behind me. “Twins and not in the fad way of saying it, either.” He laughs, stepping closer to her. “See, different eye.”
Blair stands, shocked as she looks at him, nodding her head. “And that was your girlfriend inside that you were…”
“Eye fucking?” He laughs. “I mean, I’m not really sure what we are exactly. Lines can get a little confusing around here from time to time, but yeah… and probably in about 15 minutes, there will be a girl who looks oddly like us flying through here.”
“Drew’s coming?” I ask him and he shrugs.
“She somehow always knows when shit’s going down.”
“Well…” Blair trails before swallowing her pride and looking back up at him. “I’m sorry for almost punching you in the face, then.”
“Nah, it’s all good. I probably would have done the same thing.”
“Now, what did you mean by do I need to come as well?”
“They’re taking me somewhere safe. Darren tried to take me with him this morning, but they wouldn’t let him. It’s only a matter of time before he comes back.” I tell her.
“And we have a place in the desert that no one knows about. She’ll be safe there. Liza and Liv are going up as well. There’s plenty of space if you want to come as well?”
“For how long?”
He just shrugs. “I don’t know.”
“I want to meet with the lawyer first.” I tell Zeke, who nods his head.
“She can come out there as well, if we need her to.”
“Okay.” I nod to him.
Blair turns and looks at me. “If they’re taking you some place why’d you call me?”
I hear Zeke let out an awkward chuckle as he steps over. “That was probably my fault. I’m an asshole. It’s something I’m working on.”
I nod to my sister, confirming what he’s saying.
She nods before turning to me. “You’re okay going where ever it is?”
“Yeah.”
She sighs, looking down. I know, thinking about the fact that I’m no longer showing. “I’m so sorry. How long ago?”
“It’s been a few weeks.”
“And you waited this long to tell me?”
“I know.” I look down, ashamed of myself.
“Hey, it’s not that. I just wish he wouldn’t have cut you off from everyone. I tried, but it got to be too hard.”
“I know.” I nod my head again. “I’m sorry. When all of this is over…” I trial not really sure what it is I’m going to say. “We’ll fix our relationship.” I finally mutter out.
“Wasn’t broken.” She smiles at me. “Just needs a little polish.” She hugs me one last time before letting me go. “Okay…” She looks back at Zeke and nods. “If you let anything happen to her, I won’t hold back hitting you next time.”
“You won’t be the only one.” He laughs, nodding his head.
Processing takes for fucking ever.
But it’s nothing quite like staring at the ceiling for 12 hours.
