“Blair?”

Blair whirled around to see Pete standing in the doorframe; holding a bouquet of red roses。 His face drained of color as his blue eyes flicked between Blair and Nate。 He opened and closed his mouth; like a goldfish。

“Pete!” Blair squeaked。

He exhaled loudly; the sound of his breath filling the room and morphing into a strangled cry。 He hurled the flowers to the ground and an explosion of red petals scattered on the thick blue carpet。

“I can explain;” Blair said in horror。 She knew how bad this looked。 She knew there really wasn’t a logical explanation。 But she needed Pete to know this was a total misunderstanding。 “Please listen;” Blair choked out; diving toward Pete。

“You’re in bed with that asshole?” Pete asked。 And then he laughed; one short; angry bark。 “Of course you are。” He shook his head。

“No;” she protested。 She felt like she was going to throw up。 This could not be happening。 Please believe me; she silently begged。 “He’s drunk and he just found me。 He just came in like two seconds ago。 I thought he was you。”

Pete shook his head sadly; as if Blair’s explanation was so ridiculous he felt embarrassed even to be hearing it。

“Dude; sorry;” Nate said; trying to stand up。 He understood this was bad。 He didn’t want Blair to go back to that other guy; but he also didn’t want to hurt her。 And now he was; and it was all so fucking confusing。 His foot got caught in a tangle of sheets and he face…planted on the floor。

Karma’s a bitch。

“You deserve each other;” Pete said; turning on his heel and slamming the door。 Blair could hear his footsteps tromping down the hall。 The elevator whooshed open and he was gone。 She turned and gazed down at Nate; pathetically collapsed in a pile。

“Fuck you;” she whispered; her eyes finally filling with all the tears she’d held in for the past day。 Every time。 Every time。 Every time she was almost happy; Nate managed to fuck it up。 Even worse; every time she managed to fall for it。

“But Blair…” Nate struggled to his feet。

Suddenly; she felt the vodka sodas from earlier swirling in her stomach and knew she was going to throw up。 Just like always。 She felt like a confused and lonely fifteen…year…old。 And it was all Nate’s fault。

She ran into the bathroom; kneeled down; and retched into the toilet bowl again and again。 When she was finished; she leaned her forehead against the cool whiteness of the toilet seat; knowing she looked as pathetic as she felt。

“You okay?” she heard from the other side of the door。 Nate’s voice sounded whiny; the way it sometimes did when he was really; really baked。 That was what gave her the motivation to stand up; splash her face with water; vigorously brush her teeth with her imported Marvis toothpaste; and emerge from the bathroom。 Nate was standing at the door; his hands at his sides; shifting from foot to foot。

“Blair—” he began。

“Get out!” Blair yelled with every force of her being。 “You’re bad for me。 I never want to see you again。” She opened the door; her whole body shaking; but Nate just stood there。

“Fine;” she said。 “If you won’t leave; I will。” And with that she was gone。

Sometimes misery doesn’t love pany。

puppy love

Vanessa banged around the kitchen of the loft; feeling like an angry housewife。 It was almost ten o’clock and she hadn’t heard from Hollis since she stormed out of their pitch meeting。 No; scratch that。 Since she stormed out of his pitch meeting。 She pulled out a mug from the cabinet and boiled water to make tea。 She wasn’t one of those people who drank when she was upset; so organic chai would have to do。

The worst thing about it was that she’d done this to herself。 She used to be a shaven…headed; black…garbed; kick…ass filmmaker who always wore steel…toe boots and didn’t put up with shit from anyone。 Now she was this needy girlfriend type without any projects of her own; without an apartment of her own; and with no one she could even talk to。 Last year; Vanessa had spent practically every Friday night with the other NYU film majors at Bushwick Country Club; a Williamsburg bar with mini golf。 But ever since she and Hollis had bee serious; it had bee harder and harder to carve out time to meet with her old friends。 She considered calling her sister; Ruby; but all she and Piotr could talk about was whether the fetus was the size of a gerbil or an avocado。

She heard the whir of the elevator and felt her stomach twist in contempt。 What the fuck was the point of living in Brooklyn if you had an elevator leading straight to your apartment?

“Hey。” Hollis sheepishly walked into the apartment; holding a box of Franzia wine out like a peace offering。 In his other hand was a leash—attached to a brown and white puppy。 The wine was an inside joke; since one of their first dates had been at a tiny Chinese restaurant that served free boxed wine。

And the puppy?

“Celebrating your new deal?” Vanessa refused to take the wine from his hands or even ask about the dog。 She grabbed her mug of tea and walked into their newly set…up corner office。 One side was hers; the other his。 She opened her MacBook Pro and clicked onto the apartment listings on Craigslist。 She didn’t really want to move or break up with Hollis; but she didn’t know what else to do。

“Don’t be mad。” Hollis put his hands on Vanessa’s shoulders and whirled her Aeron
