A/N: I am very depressed with the character assassination of Chuck Bass in 4x20. Then, this idea came into mind. I like to think that Chuck Bass will be redeemed.

And he bleeds. Literally, Chuck Bass is bleeding from what he just did. He is drunk but that would not and could not justify what he just did. The minute that Blair left, Chuck knows that there would not be any chance to happiness again. He let his hand bleed, thinking that when he is hurting physically, he will be numb emotionally. But he is wrong. Everything that he had done flashbacked on his mind. He stared at the ceiling and he Is not really sure why everything is cloudy. He can't be crying. He has nothing. He lost even himself.

When did everything get so screwed up? He asked this question repeatedly. Slowly, his tired eyes drifted off to sleep. The next day, he tried to at least make himself presentable. He will ask Blair's forgiveness and he will let her go. He once did that when he was sure that he can't make her happy. From there, he will need to deal with the dark journey that he created, that his father passed upon him. This time he will do it alone. He walks outside of his bedroom and he saw Nate with his suitcases. Nate told him that Rainna asked him to choose and after he saw what Chuck did to Blair last night, he thinks that he will make the right decision by choosing Rainna. "Once you walked out that door, don't ever come back" Chuck said to his soon to be ex-best friend. But Nate still left and never looked back. Now, Chuck really has no one. He was confident that Nate will stay by his side through this that is why he told him the truth. Come of think of it, Chuck Bass has nothing to do with it. It was hidden even from him. Now, he is paying for everything, for everything that his father did. He was not the one who killed the woman and yet he is the one suffering. He pulled out his Blackberry and send out a message.

"Meet me the Empire rooftop. One last time. Please. –C" Blair read the message with mixed emotions. She is angry with Chuck but she knows that he is hurting too. She replied, "For one last time. Meet me in 20. –B."

"Chuck what is it?" Blair said when she arrived at the rooftop and saw Chuck. Actually, the first thing that she saw is his wounded hands. Of course, that was glass that he hit, it wound him. She noticed that the bandage is just from some first aid kit and it was bandaged in a mess. Clearly, he did not go to a hospital. She can also see hints of red on the white bandage, the wound is still bleeding.

"Blair, are you ok? I am really sorry with what happened last night. I would never intentionally hurt you that way. You are too precious for me to do that."

"I'm not that hurt. What is the reason for this rendezvous? Spill now. My fiancé is waiting for me."

"Of course. I might bore you with this but please bare with me. And don't say anything until I finish" he told Blair while slightly touching her hand to show his sincerity.

"10 minutes."

"First, Blair, I am very sorry with what happened last night. Again, it was never my intention. I am just too hurt with what you said and you know I am not good with emotions. It doesn't justifies it, I know. Second, I just want to ask for your opinion. You are the only one I trust. Remember when I went to your penthouse the night you kissed Humphrey and you told me that you don't want to see me? Actually, I was not there to come around and fix us. I just want someone who can understand what I just learned, truth is I just needed someone, a family. You once told me that you will always be one to me, and I thought the offer will stand whether we are together or not. That night, Russel Thorpe told me that Bart killed his wife. I was trying so hard to fight for his legacy, I even traded you for a hotel so that I can save what is Bart's and then I'll learn that the fucking legacy was made out of being a murderer. I shut off that party right away, there is nothing to celebrate. I know you heard me saying Rainna was sacred, and she was. During those times, she understands me. She fought for my legacy despite Russel's disapproval. I felt that I was enough, that being Chuck Bass' girlfriend was enough. But until then, sacred was the best I could come up to. I cannot and will not say the three words and eight letters to anyone other than you. And then, Nate and Rainna started dating. And I told Nate some part of what I told you hoping he would stay by my side. He saw how I wanted that news to not be true. I contacted Bart's PI but he just found out the evidences that in fact, what Russel told me was true. I dealt with that this whole time along with you sharing a kiss with Humphrey and then your relationship with the Prince. Yesterday, I just lost it all. I drunk myself out. Sorry, I embarrassed and hurt you. Nate saw what I did to you, Rainna made him choose and Nate left our suite this morning. He chose Rainna. And last night, you chose Louis."

"Chuck, I didn't know. I should have.."

"No, Blair. You don't owe me anything. I now understand that after what happened with Jack, Jenny, Eva, the hate sex, Rainna, I totally messed up my chance of having a family. Now, I'm letting you go. You are always destined to be a royalty. Although I hope that one day, you would be my queen, I now see that being this princess with your prince is what will make you happy. Thank you for everything Blair, thank you for teaching me how to love, and showing me that I can be loved back. I'm sorry for dragging you in my dark world. You are Chuck Bass free now. But can I ask you one more thing?"

"Chuck, I.."

"Please have this ring, that I protected with my life. It is yours. It symbolizes our supposedly future. I attempted to throw that but I could not, it seems I am throwing you away. I also cannot keep it because it felt like I am just waiting for the right moment to give it to you. Just take it, you can throw it or give it, I don't care. Knowing I somewhat gave it to you and we will not have a future will remind me that you chose someone else, that you chose to be happy. I love you Blair. I love you too much, I am letting you go and setting you away from the mess that I made myself to be."

With that, Chuck walks away. He could not stand there and watch her cry. He knows that a part of her still hurts with what he did but he knows that Blair deserve the best and clearly that is not him. Blair, wiped her tears as she went down. She will be meeting Louis and she cannot look like she was crying. But what she heard was too much. Who will be there for Chuck now? She has Louis but Chuck doesn't even have Nate.

"Hi my Princess!" Louis greeted Blair when she finally arrived at their meeting place. He kissed her cheeks and smile. He always have that sweet grin whenever he sees Blair. It feels like a fairytale really, Blair may not be perfect but he loves how Blair can be herself and yet still be respected. He loves the freedom that Blair Waldorf symbolizes.

"Hi my Prince!" Blair hugged Louis. Truth is, she needs to feel him. She needs to feel that she made the right decision.

On that moment, her phone alerted a text message.

Gossip Girl here. Guess what UpperEastSiders? Jack Bass is back. Who brought him back? Rainna Thorpe. C, did you hurt Rainna that much or is this part of the Bass-Thorpe family feud. Now that a Bass is in Thorpe's side, C is taking the blow all by himself. Rainna took away C's best friend N, JB taking back Bass Industries and let's just say, JB is also taking The Empire as a collateral damage. C, how was the fall down? Good thing B was the first one to made the right decision to be Blair Waldorf and not Chuck Bass' girlfriend. By the way, congrats on your engagement B! You know you love me xoxo Gossip Girl

"Nate, go back to Chuck right now! I don't care what he did to Rainna. Be a decent best friend and be by Chuck's side." Blair called Nate immediately. He is the easiest fix on this one.

"I'm sorry Blair. But I went to see him with Rainna and Jack and he punched Jack and he was arrested."

"What? And what did you do?"

"Nothing."

"Who will be there for him?"

"No one."

Blair cancelled the call. Louis was looking at him all confused. Blair was putting back her Blackberry on her purse before he explains everything to Louis and then she saw the black box Chuck gave him. Did she really made the right decision to be a oh so good princess? Or will she let the crazy bitch back?
