017. ????????? ??? ???? ????

Frankie noticed Blair's constant sipping on her martini, she recognised the paranoid expression from a mile away "you okay?" Blair snapped out of her busy thought train as she turned to her friend "yeah, yeah, I'm just...deja vu, I guess" Frankie nodded as she thought back to the pictures taped onto their wall, of Billy Loomis and Stu Macher. Blair always acted like she was fine but Frankie could tell there was more going on with her than she led on "I'm sure whatever those murders were about it wasn't to do with you" Frankie didn't want to overstep or trigger anything especially with Blair's zoning out. Blair sighed as she looked over at her friend "I'm hoping so, either way I gotta stay strong for Sid and everyone else, you can't show weakness around these fuckers- their slippery"

Frankie turned her full body to face her friend as she looked at her sympathetically "it's okay to break, B. You've been through a lot, nobody's going to judge you for it. No me, not Sidney, not Randy, no one. We're all here for you" Blair felt her eyes watering, she quickly sucked it up not letting them fall. There could be an Billy Loomis wannabe at this party and if anyone saw her break, they'd use that weakness against her- Stu did

"I know" before Blair could say another word the boys walked up to them all a little tipsy from the drinks they'd had, Mickey had snuck up on Frankie picking her up making her squeal out of shock. Randy had wrapped a arm around Blair's shoulders pulling her into his side "hey!" Her frown quickly rose into a smile at the sight of her boyfriend "hey, how many have you had?" She asked looking at the beer in his other hand, he shrugged "2-5, doesn't matter. You okay?" He asked seeing the glassy look in her eyes, she looked up at him with a smile "yeah, I'm fine. Someone blew smoke my way- made my eyes water"

He nodded, though he didn't seem convinced in the slightest. Mickey grinned as his chin rested against Frankie's shoulder "you girls escape the Delta demons?" Blair hummed in response "those two are total two faced bitches"

Frankie laughed "they cornered Sidney and Hallie, preaching about how sororities are superior or some shit like that"

"Oh? So you two definitely not going to be wear short pastel skirts?" Mickey said playfully as Frankie slapped his arm disapprovingly, Blair scoffed as she shrugged "guess I'll just have to stick to my denim short skirts instead"

"I'll take that" Randy added she grinned looking up at him "yeah?"

Then Sidney and Hallie walked over after finally escaping Lois and Murphy, the group all conversed together just as said sorority sisters ran out to the garden excitedly "hey guys! Something is up at Omega Beta Zeda, police are everywhere!"

Blair's heart dropped, her mind immediately went to Cici. That was her house and she was home alone, those were never a good mixture. "Hurry!" Lois yelled as the two rushed away, Blair looked at Sidney who immediately looked back at her, both of them thinking the same thing. Blair then ran round the house and towards OBZ, Frankie and Randy ran after her, Blair shoved through the crowds and towards the house where police and reporters were already on the scene. She couldn't see the body due to the cop car that was parked there but she spotted Dewey, immediately she ran towards him "Dewey!" The man turned spotting her there was a sympathetic look on his face that she didn't like "Blair, you can't be here" he told her she shook her head "Dewey, I need to know who's under that tarp" the desperation in her voice made him feel terrible for her "they haven't given a name yet, some sorority girl"

Tears flooded her eyes, her whole heart dropped. She could feel her breath quickening "Blair?" Blair's eyes travelled to the bloodied tarp, tears fell down her face as she struggled to hold it together in front of so many people "Cici, it was Cici" she breathed out, Dewey pulled her into a hug letting the girl sob into his chest. Frankie and Randy ran up to them eyes darting form Blair to the bloody tarp "oh my god" Frankie muttered a hand moving to cover her mouth in shock "who is it?" Randy asked looking at Dewey "C-cici, it's gotta be cici" Blair stuttered out as she looked up, Randys eyes widened as Frankie's immediately teared up "what?"
