Chapter 36

"Is it really true? You're not kidding me?"
I whispered at him and Allen just nodded at me. I looked at Luke and blink a lot of times but I immediately looked away when he suddenly turns his head in my direction. I can't believe this! This is not funny anymore!
I touched Allen again and he just nodded several times even though I hadn't said anything.
"I can't believe this." I stopped myself from looking at him again. "As in him? He's really the engineer I was looking for?" Allen and Clayton nodded.
What the hell? Is this a joke? Well, is not really funny. Misfortune is following me everywhere. Does Claire know that Luke is the engineer here? Do they know? Maybe yes! My sister is a traitor.  My friends are also a traitor. They betrayed me! Oh my god!
"Allen? Can you ask the person next to you what she's up to? What to do with the remaining space upstairs?" Luke suddenly told to Allen.
Allen looked at me. "What to do with the remaining space upstairs, Blaire?" Allen asked me even I heard what Luke said.
I looked up and think about it. "Uhm, please tell the engineer in front of you, just make that space a room." I crossed my arms in front of my chest.
"She said, just make it a room," Allen told luke.
I suddenly chuckled. I didn't mean to, I just did without knowing of mine. This is so immature! Really! Well, this is not his fault and this is not my fault either. But I made this request and I think, I'm the one who feels that this is hard.
Tsk! I have no regrets after all. As I was saying, this is a good thing for us. I smiled at Allen and Clayton who are already looking at me.
"What?" I asked them but they just shook their head. "Anyway, I have to go and I will never come back here again. I have already said what I have to say. So, bye!"
I picked up my bag and went out of the tent. But someone held my elbow so I stopped and look behind. And it was just Allen. I smiled at him.
"What?" I asked again. "Do you have anything to say?"
He looked at me and then looked at Luke. "Uhm... can't you stay, just for an hour."
I took a deep breath. "I can't. I have something important to do." He just nodded and let me go.
I was close to my car when I saw someone I didn’t expect. Someone who didn't even bother to call me. It's Blue.
I stopped when I saw him and then I looked at him. He also stopped when he saw me. A sweet smile place on our lips at the same time. I run towards him and hugged him. I really miss him so much.
"Blue! Why you didn't call me?" I asked him when I let go. "I thought, you will come back next month," I said.
"Well, as you can see, I arrived early than you expected." He smiled at me but I just raised my brow.
"Still, you didn't call me!" I rolled my eyes at him. "You freak," I whispered and glared at him.
He chuckled. "I am freak now to you, huh? What happened to my future–" I immediately covered his mouth to stop him from talking nonsense
I suddenly out of breath and then looked around and then glared at him. "You... You really..." I closed my eyes and then let go of his mouth.
He chuckled again. "Why? Why are you so stressed out? Why don't you let me finish my word? Hmm?" He asked.
I looked behind and I saw luke staring at me, no, glaring at me. He's glaring so badly at me. What's wrong with him? I told him not to look at me. I just rolled my eyes at him before turning my head to Blue. I smiled.
"Anyway, I was about to go home. Do you want to ride with me?" I winked at him.
He smiled widely. "Why not? I think it is fun, right?"
"Yeah! Of course. It is."
He handed me his hand, asking me to take his hand and walk together while holding hands. I just smile. I wonder if we look cute together. Well, we don't have any special relationship. Just friends... without benefits.
I looked at him while I raised my brow at him. I was about to take his hand but someone takes his hand, instead. My lips parted because of a little bit of shock. I looked up and I saw Luke glaring at Blue.
"I really didn't like and I didn't mean to let you hugged her, I will just let it pass... but not this one." Luke slowly whispered to Blue but I heard it right.
My brows furrowed. Is he mad? For what? Honestly, I want to smile widely while my cheeks are getting red but I shouldn't.
"Why? Why don't you let me take her hand?" Blue suddenly asked so I looked at him.
Luke chuckled a little before he leaned closer to blue and whisper something. And I didn't get a chance to hear what he was saying this time.
"Allen!" Luke called Allen and he immediately run towards us.
"Why?"
"Take care of her for a while... I need to talk to my cousin. Follow me, moron," He said.
I was really dumbfounded while blinking a few times. I still can't believe it and I can't understand why he says those things. Though he's not telling me that but I know it's for me, I'm connected to that. Is he out of his mind? Maybe, yes! He's crazy like a real crazy!
"What are you thinking? Are you thinking about him?" Clayton asked while smiling in front of me, so I immediately hit his arm.
"Are you crazy?" I looked again in the direction in which they were going. "Why would I think of him? He's just nothing for me," I whispered.
"Oh, I see." I looked at him. "But I can see in your eyes that you are lying to me."
"W-what?"
He laughed. "Don't lie to me, Blaire. I already knew that nothings change in this world. Especially both in your worlds. I know that you still have a feelings for him, you just can't show it, maybe it's because you're afraid to take a risk?"
I didn't answer, I'm just staring at him unintentionally. He told Allen to bring a hard hat for me. Allen also brought a chair and place it nearby the small garden.
I sat on the chair and think about what Clayton said earlier. Is it really true that nothing changes? Especially in our worlds?
It's been 11 years since we've been together and broken up. It was almost a decade. And Allen said that nothings change in our worlds? What kind of joke is that?
Their conversation really took so long before they finally went out. I noticed that they both had a bruise on the side of their lips. Oh my god! What happened? Did they fight?
"Blue? What happened? Did you fight with him?" I asked worriedly.
He slowly nodded. "A little. I don't have a choice. He started it!" He walks away and drove away without telling me.
I looked at luke and he immediately looks away and then he picked up his stuff and also walk away without telling us. But before he goes, Clayton asked him something.
I took a deep breath. "What's going on?" I asked myself.
"Tsk! You don't have to worry. That's what you called 'bonding with my cousin'. Okay?" Allen suddenly said while dancing so weird, even without music.
"Seriously? You really joke around and dance like nothing happened?" I said unbelievably.
"It's not a joke, Blaire." He really can't get it or he was just used to it. Oh my god! I can say that they are really friends.
Clayton approaches us so I stood up and push Allen away of my way. He's so annoying!
"Is he... okay?" I still asked Clayton, though it feels weird.
He chuckled. "I think he is." And then Clayton winked at Allen. And they gave each other an exuberant high five in front of my face.
"You should go home now, Blaire. Before the shining sky turn in dark. Hurry up!" They push me towards my car.
I just frowned at them and rolled my eyes after before went into my car and drove it away from that place. Too annoying! Why do they have to push me? I can walk by my own, without anyone help.
It was too dark when I arrived at my house and all the lights were off. It makes me nervous. As far as I remember, I never turn the lights off everytime I will go out or leave the house. So, why the lights were turned off right now?
I took my phone out and open the flashlight and when the flashlight hit the couch, my eyes widened when I saw a man's shoes and also a legs. Oh my god! What should I do? Is he a thief?
And then, the lights suddenly turned on. I breathe in a relief when I saw who was it or maybe, let's say, who are they. Yes! He's not just one person who was in my house. They are all here again, without my permission.
"Gosh! You scared me to death!" I told them before sat beside Treize.
Yeah! My friends got in here without my permission again. They are intruders! My mind wants to call the police now and report them and tell to the police that I don't know them. Aish! They're really annoying!
"We're sorry for that!" Anne said while smiling at me.
"You took so long before you go home, that's why we decided to just get in," Roxie also said while combing his hair.
"Why did you took so long before you go home? Is it traffic? Or something happened? We were here for about two ad a half hours." Treize asked me while looking at me intently.
The side of my lips rose. "Is it my fault that there's a traffic and there's also something happened in the rest house? Is it my fault, huh?"
"Oh! It was the traffic but... what happened in the rest house?" Lev asked me as her brows raised at me.
"Are you all that crazy? Why did you send me there without telling me who was the engineer assigned there?"
"We didn't mean to not to tell you, okay? We're already said sorry," Anne said.
I heavily sighed.
"I saw Blue again, he was there and they got into fight. I really don't know what to do anymore. I said that I don't want to be involve with him. So guys, please cooperate with me." I said in a low voice.
"I'm sorry, Blaire. But we can't just let you get older without having a family." Alice answered.
"And don't worry, because we will make sure that the man who will be your soon-to-be husband is good enough for you." Lev added.
"Whatever! Anyway, have guys eaten?" I asked.
"Not yet. We can't just steal your food," Alice said while touching her tummy.
"What?"
"It's true! You might think differently if we get the food out from the refrigerator without getting your permission again. That's why," Roxie said.
I stood up and went into the kitchen and they follow me. "You got in here without my permission but you can't get a food from the refrigerator, huh?"
I heard them laughed. "Why you look so stress? Did something happen in the rest house?" Treize suddenly asked.
He was in the bathroom earlier that's why he didn't know what happened in the rest house which is I told them earlier.
I stopped from what I'm doing and faced him. I slowly nodded. "Yes." I looked at them intently. "Did you know why I do to my some traitor friend in my first-year high school?"
They fix their posture and looked away kust to avoid my gaze. Seriously? They betrayed me!
"Blaire, I don't know what you're saying," Treize said as he looked up. I wonder if they plan all of this.
I smirked. "I just pierced their beautiful hands with a pencil, slap them over and over again, and grabbed their hair and pull towards the auditorium and introduced them as my traitor friends."
"W-what?" Alice bitterly laughed.
"We didn't know about that." Lev bitterly laughed as well.
"Of course, we didn't! We're not the same school with her that time," Anne explained.
I laughed when I see in their face the fear that I can't imagine. "Why are you acting like that? Why are you so scared? As if, I will do something like that to all of you."
It was just a prank but I can't believe that they will got afraid. I laughed before prepare their food and after that, I brought the foods in the dining room so they can eat now.
"As I said earlier, it's true. I did it. I really mean it," I said when I sat beside Anne.
"You scared us to death, Blaire."
"You know that I don't want to see him again, but you did this to me. So, I got a little annoyed earlier." They looked down. "But it's okay, It's just a little thing that needs to face."
"We're still sorry, Blaire," Treize said.
"Except of what Lev and Alice said, we still cannot let our words out, Blaire," Roxie said.
"We want you to be happy, not to be alone forever in this house of yours. Sorry," Lev said.
"But don't worry, you will find out soon why are we acting like this right now," Alice said.
"I won’t be surprised if you’ll thank us when the right time comes. Thank us later, Blaire," Anne said to my face.
I chuckled. "Fine! I won't bother you about it anymore. I will just wait that right time. Anyway, do you think that I will do to you what I did to them?"
"Maybe! Something like that," Anne said and then she shrugged. The others slowly nodded.
I just laughed at them while shaking my head and was about to go upstairs when they suddenly call me. "Blaire?"
I raised my brow. "Yes?"
"Don't you want to eat?" Roxie asked and I just shook my head.
I took one step forward and looked at them again. "After that, wash the plates you used before going to sleep. And no matter which room you want to sleep in, it's okay with me." I smiled.
I slowly took one step forward over and over again until I heard them say 'Goodnight! Sweet dreams!'. I just wave my hand at them and went into my room. I immediately lay down on my bed and closed my eyes.
I'm exhausted! It looks and feels like I did so many things today to feel this tiredness. I'll just go to sleep now so I can wake up early tomorrow and help claire in the shop because luke and darcy's wedding is coming up.
I still need to prepare myself for that wedding. I don't want to cry all of a sudden for no reason when I'm there.

    I'm in a relationship and today when I went to the mall to help my mom with shopping I just stood there like a technological zombie texting my significant other. I walked around with my head down most of the time and jut maneuvered out of people's way with my peripheral vision. I'm very loyal when it comes to a relationship. When I make promises I'll keep them, and I despise people who break their vows. I believe a person is only as good as their words, and if they commit actions
