Chapter 47: Words cut like a knife

                                    

                                          
Blair's POV
                          
I smiled a little and nodded. "This is perfect."
                          
"Absolutely." She leaned in and our lips connected. "I love you, Blair."
                          
"I love you too, Rachel."
                          
"What the hell!" We both looked at our left and saw Luke and Nick stand there. Rachel and me quickly let go of each other while Luke and Nick walked to us. "What is this?!" Luke was pissed, even Nick was.
                          
"Luke, don't blame her, it's all me."
                          
Luke looked from Rachel to me. "How dare you?"
                          
I looked down, I felt really bad. Yet, I didn't do anything to stop Rachel from kissing me. So I knew I deserved this. "I'm sorry." I said softly.
                          
"You're sorry?" He pushed me. "How dare you?!" He pushed me again.
                          
"Hey, stop!" Rachel went to stand in between me and Luke. "Don't touch her again."
                          
Luke looked so angry. I had never seen him like that. "Whatever." He walked past us and went home, probably telling mom and dad all about this.
                          
Rachel looked at Luke and then at me. "Are you ok?"
                          
I kept looking down, I felt so bad. I slowly nodded.
                          
"Hey," Rachel made me look at her. "It's going to be alright."
                          
I started sniffling. "Is it?" I shook my head. "Luke hates us."
                          
Rachel sighed. "I think it's best that we give him some time." She reached for my hand. "Come." She pulled me with her.

Luke's POV
                          
I walked home, stomping my feet with every step I took. I was so angry, I felt betrayed and hurt.
                          
"Luke," Nick hurried behind me, trying his best to keep up with me. "Luke, wait." He reached me and stopped me. "Hey, I know this situation is terrible, but - "
                          
"It's awful!" I looked away, my hand went through my hair. "I can't believe they'd do that to me!" I looked down. "The two girls I trusted the most."
                          
"I know," Nick patted my shoulder. "We'll get through this. You just have to let them talk."
                          
"Let them talk? Why?!" I shook my head. "They cheated on me."
                          
"Only Rachel did, but I get what you're saying." He looked at me, he was worried. "Listen, you have to let them talk about it. They could tell you about why they did it and what it means to you."
                          
I kept shaking my head, I was not doing that.
                          
"If you're not doing it for them, do it for yourself." At that, I looked at him. "If you don't know anything, you won't be able to let this go. I know you, Luke."
                          
I sighed deeply, knowing he was right. "Ok."
                          
"Good," He patted my shoulder again. "Talk to them separately though."
                          
I nodded.
                          
We continued making out way to my house. When we arrived, Nick stopped me again. "Are you going to tell your parents?"
                          
I looked at him. "I don't know." I looked back at the door. "Should I?"
                          
Nick shrugged. "Maybe, so they know what's going on."
                          
I slowly nodded. "Ok." I entered the house and was immediately greeted by mom and dad.
                          
"Hey Luke and Nick." Mom hugged us both while dad smiled at us. "How was today?"
                          
Nick looked at me, motioning me to talk.
                          
"Can I talk to you two?"
                          
Mom and dad looked at each other, then at me. They nodded and went to sit down at the dinning table. I sat in front of them.
                          
"So today was fine. I had a good day at school, had fun with my friends..." I looked down, holding my own hands. "However, when I walked back home..." I huffed. "I saw Blair and Rachel... Kissing."
                          
"What?" Mom was shocked.
                          
"Are you sure?" dad asked, of course choosing Blair's side, as always.
                          
Nick and me both nodded. "I didn't say much to them, but they walked off together." I sighed deeply. "I told you two so you know what's going on between me and them."
                          
They both nodded. "Thanks for telling us, Luke."
                          
"But don't be too hard on your sister now, she's going through a hard time." Dad warned me to which mom slowly nodded. I hate how they treat her like she was made of glass.
                          
"Mhm." I then got up and walked to my room with Nick. He stayed for an hour before going back home.

Blair's POV
                          
Later on that evening, I got home. Rachel made sure to say bye to my parents, so they knew I wasn't alone. She then left, telling me she loved me and that she'd come by tomorrow to check up on me.
                          
When she left, I went straight to my room. Mom followed me and watched me as I changed into pajamas.
                          
Suddenly, Luke entered. "Mom, I'll watch Blair."
                          
Mom nodded. "I'll wait for you, Blair."
                          
I nodded and watched mom leave. Luke closed the door behind her and then leaned on it. He crossed his arms and just looked at me.
                          
I looked down, sighing. "I'm sorry, Luke. I know that what Rachel and me did wasn't right."
                          
"But you did it." He stood back up. "Why?"
                          
I sighed. "It just happened."
                          
"Don't give me that cheesy line!"
                          
I looked down.
                          
"Give me the truth!" He groaned. "You were jealous, weren't you?"
                          
I looked up at him.
                          
"You're jealous because I have everything and you have nothing. I have amazing friends, a beautiful girlfriend and actually a life I care about. You have none of those, and so you tried destroying that for me."
                          
I looked at him, tears already forming in my eyes. How could he say that? "Luke..."
                          
"Don't you think I know what you're doing?"
                          
I slowly shook my head, by now the tears started rolling down my cheeks. "Luke, I - "
                          
"You first accuse Nick, my best friend, in the hopes of getting him away from me. Now you're trying to steal my girlfriend." He huffed, shaking his head. "But you failed."
                          
I kept crying and crying. "Luke, please, I - "
                          
"You failed, because mom and dad don't believe you anymore. They know what's really going on with you. And finally I do too." He walked closer to me, and stopped right in front of me. "You're a sad, pathetic and worthless person. I can't believe I ever felt bad for you." He looked me up and down, tears forming in his eyes as well. He threw me something. "Do whatever you want." Then he left.
                          
I looked at what he threw at me, it was a pocket knife. I looked back up, covering my mouth with my hand. I slowly fell to the floor, crying silently.
