Choosing Hope

A few hours later, Jess came in through the back door and spotted Blaire making some coffee.
"Hey Blaire, how's the boys and girls club?" Jess placed her bag on the floor and made her way
over to the fridge. Blaire didn't answer so Jess tried again. "Hello, earth to Blaire."
This time the blonde spoke with venom in her words. "Did you know?" Jess closed the fridge,
confusion evident on her face.
"Know what?" Jess stared blankly at her sister.
"Did you know that Cailin is sick?" Blaire’s anger was apparent as her voice was steadily rising.
"Blaire I'm sorry, it wasn't my place to tell you," Jess said in her defense.
Blaire scoffed. "So it's okay for you to fuck my aunt but not tell me she's got fucking cancer?!"
Blaire yelled loudly, causing Jess's eyes to widen. "Now hold on a damn minute Blaire!" Jess
yelled back clinching both her fists in anger. Callie and Cailin came running in from the living
room, where they had clearly heard every word.
Cailin stared at both girls, anger and hurt evident on her face as the tears sprang to her eyes.
“How could you Blaire? You better hope Jane and Maura didn’t hear that. I’ll never forgive
you.”
“Maybe you should have asked me before you blabbed something private, Cailin,” Jess said,
with her voice rising with every word.
“Oh fuck you Jess,” Blaire says as she lunges for the red head. Callie quickly jumps in pulling
Blaire back. “Knock it off, Blaire!
“Mind your own fucking business Callie,” Blaire says coldly..
Hearing yelling, Jane and Maura come flying down the stairs.
