Blair woke up to find Kol gone. She wasn't surprised, she expected him to leave. She picked up her phone to see three missed calls; they all came from Klaus. With a groan, she called him back.
"Where were you last night?" Klaus asked, picking up the phone almost immediately.
"I, uh, went early. Kinda had a rough night." Blair said, thinking on her feet.
"Just- come to my house as soon as possible. There's a lot to explain." Klaus told her.
"Alright. Be there in ten." She ran around the hotel room, getting ready as quickly as possible. She'd just hoped that her acting skill would be good enough to fool the Mikaelsons, as she was not too keen with them finding out she slept with their brother.
She got there in nine minutes, so hopefully Klaus wouldn't be mad. She didn't bother knocking, she didn't need to. She walked into the living room, to see Klaus with a drink in hand. "Oh, good, you're here. Drink?"
"Why did you call me three times, Niklaus?" Blair asked, sitting down.
"To see to it that you were alright. But, a you missed a lot in your absence. Esther tried to kill us, but as you can see, she failed. Esther fled town, taking Finn with her, Elijah left, and Kol- -"
"Yeah. He's gone." She frowned slightly. Klaus gave her a questioning look. "Well, I figure, at least."
"Yes, but Rebekah stayed, and there might be another white oak tree." Klaus said with a sigh. Blair jumped up.
"And you didn't think to mention that before? Where is it? We can just burn it down, like the last one."Blair said, walking towards Klaus.
"Love, I appreciate the enthusiasm, but we don't know." Klaus said, standing up. "Now, what were you really doing last night? I really am interested to know. You've never lied to me before, and you played it off rather well this time. So I wonder, what is it you're keeping from me?"
"Niklaus-" Blair breathed out.
"Well, come on then. I'd hate to have to move to other options- seeing as your brother injected you with vervain last night." Klaus encouraged her. She turned and ran, but wasn't fast enough. In nearly a second, Klaus was in front of her once again. "I guess we will have to. I'm sorry, Blair."
Klaus quickly broke her neck, catching her before she fell to the ground. He was hurt. His only friend would lie to him to protect whatever secret she kept, but he wouldn't stop until he found out.
Blair woke up, to see a knife in her side. She groaned and tried to take it out, before realizing she was chained up. "Okay... I deserve that." She said to herself, before Klaus walked around the corner.
"Glad to see you're awake. Now I get to watch you writhe in agony." Klaus said with a fake smile.
"Niklaus, I'm your frien-"
"I don't have friends!" He yelled with a sudden fit of anger. She flinched.
"You- you don't have to bleed me out." She took a deep breath as he looked over in fascination. "If it'll get you to trust me again, I'll tell you, But I'm warning you. You won't like it."
"Go on, then."
"I- I slept with Kol l-last night. That's why I didn't answer." Blair watched as his face turned into an unreadable expression. "I'm sorry."
"Well then." He walked towards her, crouching down and pulling the knife out of her side. His face was still blank. "It seems I can trust you, after all."
"So, you aren't mad?" Klaus didn't answer, instead only taking off her shackles, before standing back up and walking out. With a bit of difficulty, she stood up and ran after him. "Niklaus, talk to me. What is it?"
He turned back around, facing her. He now looked very upset. "My brother slept with the woman that I thought I fancied, that I thought understood me. How am I meant to feel?"
"Niklaus, I wasn't myself. I was upset and drowning my sorrows. Did- did you just say you fancy me?" Blair said, tears welling.
"I-" Klaus couldn't finish his sentence before she rushed forward and kissed him. He didn't waste a split second before kissing her back. His lips tasted like bourbon and bad decisions, but she didn't care. Bad decisions are what she lived for. If they were a drug, she was addicted.
He pushed her up against the wall and kissed her roughly, obviously just taking out his anger about everything. He had one hand on her neck and the other entangled in her hair, while her hands both were in his hair.

Hours later, they laid on the couch, both fully clothed, and asleep. That is, until Rebekah walked in. "Nik, you-" She walked into the living room, to see them both waking up, Blair in Klaus' arms. "Now you're snogging your little sidekick. Perfect."
"That is not what happened! We didn't-" Blair sighed, standing up. "I should go. Nice to see you again, Rebekah." She walked out of the house with a smile on her face. She was still in awe that Klaus Mikaelson, ruthless original hybrid, just said he liked her. It was something she couldn't believe.
As soon as she got in her car, she called Alexandra.
"Hello."
"Alexandra. Are we cool, or not? Because I really don't want to have to spill to a teenage girl." Blair asked, starting the car. Alexandra let out a laugh.
"Yeah, we're cool. Meet me at the Grill in ten. You only get to spill if I do." Alexandra told her.
"Alright, see you there." Blair said before hanging up. It wasn't a long drive to the Grill. She got there in about five minutes, and went inside. She sat down at a table and waited, before a server came up to her.
"Hi, welcome to Mystic Grill, what can I do for you?" The girl asked with a smile.
"Just two waters will do. I'm waiting on someone." Blair smiled politely at the girl. Who nodded cheerily and walked away. Not long after the drinks arrived, and so did Alexandra. The two girls hugged before sitting back down.
"So, come on, what is it?" Alexandra said, with an excited smile.
"I- Me and Niklaus- We kissed." Alexandra's smile fell as she finished her sentence.
"You're serious?" Alexandra leaned in closer. Blair nodded. "Wait. Are you two, like, a thing?"
"No, but he said he liked me, and stuff kind of happened and we ended up kissing." Blair said as Alexandra's smile came back.
"If he doesn't date you- then I'm going to put a stake through his heart." Alexandra declared, causing both of the girls to start laughing.
"So, what did you want to tell me?" Blair suddenly said.
"Oh, yeah. After Blaine and Lexa broke up, I think Blaine was using me as a rebound, which I was SO not down with. So I shut him down. Told him if he's gonna keep acting like that, I'm leaving. He didn't stop, so I'm leaving. I'm going back to New Orleans. It's much more safe there anyway. I'm not in constant danger." Blair's smile fell.
"I, um, I appreciate you coming in the first place. I know you came for Blaine, but I really missed you. Eighty years was far too long." Blair said, grabbing Alexandra's hand. "When do you leave?"
"Tomorrow morning. I was packing when you called. I planned on just telling you over the phone." Alexandra sighed.
"Well, let's get something from the bar. A last drink before you go." Blair suggested, to which Alexandra nodded. Both girls stood up and walked over to the bar. "Two shots of your strongest whiskey, please."
The bartender nodded, as they sat down. They got the drinks and looked at each other, cherishing one of the very few joyful moments they had. "To friendship, even through hardships."
They both laughed and clinked their glasses, downing them quickly after. "You know, you could always come with me. There's some hot vamps in New Orleans I could set you up with. Like my friend, Marcel-"
"I can't leave. Not now. There's a lot going on that I can't tell you. But, I'll remember that, just in case things go south." Blair reassured her. Alexandra stood up.
"I've gotta go now. If you ever get the chance, please come see me." Alexandra pleaded. Blair nodded.
"Of course I will." Blair said with a sad smile. She watched Alexandra leave the bar, waiting for a little bit, before leaving too.

They finally kissed! I'm excited! I will probably post a little less often, as I have school work online this week.
