Because of you((Pippa))

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise woke up to her alarm screaming in her ear. She rolled over with a groan and hit the snooze button causing it to fall off of her night stand. She opened one eye and looked at the time, 11am, her eyes widened and she quickly jumped out of bed. All she could think about was how amazing last night was with Pippa. Blaise walked into the bathroom and leaned her hands on the counter looking into the mirror. "Well don't you look like shit today,"[/i] she said to herself in the mirror. After splashing some water on her face and fixing herself up a little bit she stumbled into the other room and turned on her ipod. She turned it up all the way so the base shook her walls.

Blaise sat down on her bed and thought of last night some more. She grabbed her cell phone and sent Pippa a text.

Hey are you up yet?

If you are come down to my room

She had to get something that's been bugging her off of her chest. Even though she wasn't sure about the outcome she needed it to be said out loud to Pippa. Blaise grabbed her cigarettes and lit one up then opened her window and sat next to it. She took in the fresh air and smiled as she thought about Pippa's smile. She waited intently for Pippa to respond to her, hoping she was awake.

Pippa had just left Tam's dorm and was headed back to her own when her phone went off. She quickly pulled the sidekick out from her back pocket and flipped it open, her heart skipping a beat as she saw she had a new message from Blaise. She read it quickly and then replied,

Yes I'm up.
No way am I coming over yet.
I look like shit.

Pippa clicked send just as she reached her dorm, unlocking the door and entering the dimly lit room, sunlight pouring through the closed blinds. She flipped the light switch on before going over and opening the blinds, something about entering a darkened room had always scared her. She chuckled about it to herself as she walked over to her vanity mirror and began to apply her usual makeup. Black eyeshadow and eyeliner.

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise finished her cigarette and flicked it out her window. Her phone went off and her heart skipped a beat, she wasn't expecting her to be up yet since they had such a late night. She read her reply and laughed.

You could never look like shit .

The doors open so just come in when you get here.

Blaise got up off the floor and went to her dresser. She pulled out some jeans and her red DC shirt. She quickly dressed and checked her phone to see if she had replied yet. She then went to the bathroom to brush her teeth and her hair. Walking back into the main room she started lifting her weights and doing sit ups waiting for Pippa to get there.

[Pippa Flynn]

Pippa finished off her makeup just in time to hear her phone go off with Blaise's response. She laughed out loud before putting her phone in her back pocket and leaving her dorm room. Blaise's dorm was just down the hall so she didn't have to travel far before she was there.

Although Blaise had said to come right in Pippa still knocked softly on the solid wood door. "Blaise?" She called the other girl's name softly, knocking a little louder as she did.

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise was wondering where Pippa was so she sent her another text.

Where are you?

[/size][/b]
Her music was still blaring as she continued to do her sit ups. It was hard for her to concentrate since Pippa was on her mind. She was really nervous to spill out how she felt about her but felt like it needed to be said. It has been a long time since someone made her feel this way. Pippa was different though, she made Blaise feel amazing. She never had a girl make her feel this way before

[Pippa Flynn]

Pippa knocked a little louder on the door, hearing the music faintly beyond it. "Blaise?" She sighed as she reached down the the handle and turned it, slowly opening the door. "Blaise?" Even though she'd been told to enter upon arriving she still felt incredibly weird as she did.

As she opened the door wider she could see Blaise working out by doing situps. Her heart skipped a beat at the sight, she looked down at the ground quickly...suddenly more shy than she'd ever been before. "Um...hey?"

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise noticed the door open and watched as Pippa walked in. She did one more sit up then got up off the ground to greet her. "Hey...How long have you been standing there?" She turned a little red in the face since no ones saw her work out before. She got a little shy but just shrugged it off. She walked over to give her a hug realizing she missed her more than she thought she did.

[Pippa Flynn]

Pippa suddenly felt like she really should have waited until Blaise answered the door, "Um..not long at all..I..." She hugged Blaise back, looking down at the ground. This was riciculous, they'd already spent so much time together she could concider Blaise a really good friend. She sighed, looking around the room, looking anywhere but at Blaise.

"So um..what did you want to do?" She walked past Blaise into the room, looking over the small trinkets and things on the desk. She sat down in the computer chair, spinning it around a little so she was facing Blaise again. She suddenly felt like she hadn't spent nearly enough time on her appearance as she caught a glimpse of herself in a mirror on the wall. Her makeup was perfect but her hair, braided into twin pony tail braids on each side of her head seemed to already be falling out. She looked away from the mirror and at Blaise, trying to relax a little.

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise went over to her bed and sat down. She had a puzzled look on her face since Pippa seemed embarrassed or something. She smiled at her trying to lighten her up a little bit. "Are you ok? You seem really shy or something for some reason." She felt bad putting her on the spot like that but she knew that something was wrong. She went over to her closet and pulled out a carton of cigarettes that she bought for Pippa the day before. She walked over and handed it to her with a smile on her face. "I bought you some cigarettes."

Blaise went over to her ipod and turned the music down so they didn't have to shout over it. She looked into Pippa's eyes once more before looking down at the ground. "Well I wanted to tell you something but I don't want it to scare you away or anything."

[Pippa Flynn]

Pippa shook her head, "Yeah I'm fine its just...." She shook her head again, taking the pack of cigarettes from her. "Thanks...and I'm ok, just have a lot on my mind." She smiled nonetheless, opening up the pack of cigarettes and taking one out. She walked to the open window and lite the cigarette, turning back to Blaise. "What is it?" She had a small idea of what Blaise was going to say...or at least she hoped she did.

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise picked up her cigarettes and pulled one out walking over next to Pippa. She lit it up and took a long drag her cigarette. She sat down next to Pippa and leaned against the wall resting her arm on her knee. "Well you know how I was with a girl a while ago, ever since her I didn't let anyone in I put up a wall so no one could get in. Within a few days you broke that down pretty fast." She took in a deep breath as she started shaking from being so nervous. This shouldn't be this hard to tell her how Blaise felt. "I have really strong feelings for you and it kind of sucks because your with somebody already so I feel like I'm kidding myself. Plus your so out of my league." She took another drag from her cigarette and slowly let it out.

[Pippa Flynn]

Pippa balanced the lit cigarette between her lips as she waited for Blaise to start talking. In all reality she didn't feel very good as her head was still pounding from a hangover as well as lack of sleep. She tried to shake it off as she watched Blaise get her own cigarette then walk over to stand next to her.

She couldn't help but smile softly when Blaise began to speak, talking about how she had broken down the wall that had been put up for such a long time. She looked away as Blaise spoke, hoping the other girl wouldn't see her smiling and think she was being cruel or cocky. The thought of this made her feel sick to her stomach, she forced the smile from her face before taking another few puffs of her cigarette.

At Blaise's next words Pippa turned to look at her, "Your not out of my league....and...I broke up with her." Pippa looked away from Blaise as she said it, it wasn't entirely true but for the most part it was, she decided to clarify. "Well...I still haven't heard from her so I kind of broke up with her? I sent her a note about it since she's never around."

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise tried to calm her nerves by tapping her foot to the music. She hoped that the other girl didn't notice that she was so nervous. She smiled as she saw her turn away trying to hide her smile. Blaise laughed as Pippa said she wasn't out of her league. "I feel like you are, so beautiful and I'm just cute. There's a difference. She got up and went over to her pants she wore the night before and pulled out some Tylenol then got a bottle of water out. She walked back over to Pippa and handed them to her. "You seem to be a little hungover this morning." She smiled as she said this, Blaise doesn't get hangovers anymore. She drinks a lot so her body kind of gotten used to it.

She was shocked to hear the Pippa had ended things with the other girl. "I'm surprised that you ended it with her. She still hasn't seen you or spoken to you?" Blaise grew more nervous as the minutes passed by. "To be honest I'm falling for you hard and it scares me." She looked down at her feet as she said this.

[Pippa Flynn]

Pippa laughed at that. "Trust me..your more than just cute Blaise." She finished off her cigarette and tossed the butt out the window in the dirt just was Blaise brought her the Tylenol. "Thanks...I dont know if I'm hung over or just tired." She shook her head as she took the pills and chugged some water down.

"Nope...not a word in....five days." She rolled her eyes before taking another gulp of the water. "I mean she doesn't actually think I'm just waiting around for her to come back does she?" Pippa laughed as she set the now empty bottle of water down. When Blaise told her she was falling for her Pippa looked away, that was something she definetly wasn't expecting. "It scare me too..." She said, keeping her eyes down at the ground.

[Blaise Doyle]

Blaise smiled as Pippa told her she wasn't just cute. She found it hard to believe for some reason. Her self esteem went way down after her last break up. "So if I'm more than cute what am I?" She knew the answer Pippa was going to give her but she wanted to hear her say it out loud for whatever reason. Blaise flicked her cigarette out the window and sat back down on her bed moving some clothes off of it so Pippa could sit down too. "There's more water in my mini fridge in the closet if you want some. Help yourself, oh and there's soda and beer." She shook her head at the fact that Ashleigh still hasn't talked to Pippa. She couldn't understand how someone could ignore someone like Pippa. "I don't know what she is doing, she is losing someone amazing that's all I know." Blaise looked at the floor as Pippa said her falling for her scares her as well. She couldn't understand completely why it scared her though.
