I finally sat down beside him, facing him, I closed my eyes as I internalized what I had to say to him. With the small courage I had left, I opened my eyes and said what first came to mind. "Blake is blackmailing me." There I had said it.
"What do you mean?" He asked, confused. Probably wondering what I was talking about. "Did he hurt you?" A concern could be seen visibly on his face, taking my hands in his as he waited for my answer.
"No. He did not hurt me." I assured him, wanting him to calm down because I needed him to listen so that he could help me with the problem.
He took me in a tight hug before he slightly let go to stare me in the eyes. "Tell me everything."
I started from the day that Blake visited me at the diner. Telling me about Elena and the conditions. I also mentioned his offer to help. Then, I told him about the gala where he approached me. Finally, this morning when I met him at the diner.
