Before I start, I would like to point out a few things.

A) Yes, I do reference quotes or songs. This is more just for my entertainment. Don't ask me why.

B) This is written in Blair's point of view. For now. I may alternate later, but for now, I'm fixated into her point of view.

C) The title may be weird. I have no idea where the story was leading to, but half the time I just make up ideas on the spot. But it means the story will be more suspenseful. I'll change the title to whatever I feel is appropriate. :P

D) I'm not going to tell you who ends up with who. You may not like who people are with at the moment, but this is only based on the current Gossip Girl scenario (Season 5, Episode 17/18).

F) Please don't copy this.

G) If you have any suggestions, especially advice on character portrayals, a list of characteristics of each character would be appreciated. But I do believe I've got the characters quite well. I try to keep them as real as possible, so if you're a Dair or Chair fan and you get offended, please don't be offended at me - blame it on the character's actions. Because as far as I've written and am concerned - that's what they would have done.

H) The last one. I hope you enjoy!

Don't wanna leave it all behind
But I get my hopes up
and I watch them fall everytime
Another colour turns to grey
and it's just too hard to watch it all
slowly fade away

I'm leaving today 'cause I've
gotta do what's best for me
you'll be ok...

- (Gotta Go My Own Way, High School Musical 2)

I wouldn't be surprised if you knew who I was. But in case you seriously need advice on who you know - or should get to know - in this world, my name is Blair Waldorf. Or as some people - my boyfriend - like to think, "everything I hate about the Upper East Side distilled into one 95-pound, doe-eyed, bonmot-tossing, label-whoring package of girly evil" (Dan, Gossip Girl). Of course, as soon as you get to know me, you'll change your opinion.

"Blair?" Serena's voice resonated through my door. I would recognize it anytime.

"Come in." I smiled at her in greeting. We were on good terms now, although sometimes I felt bad for taking Dan from her. But I didn't feel regret or remorse for my actions, as I'd admitted to believing before, "if two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back" (Chuck, Gossip Girl). And I couldn't see why that should be any different for anyone else. It finally became clear to me, however, that Serena had always given to me, and now it was my turn.

"B, I need to talk to you."

I slipped my earring in. "Okay, shoot."

Her hand twirled around a lock of hair. "B, I'm leaving."

I narrowed my eyes slightly, but I wouldn't let it deter my new resolution. "Where are we going?" I asked.

Serena dropped her hand. "I'm going to Tuscany. Alone. I need to figure things out - and Dad'll be there."

"That's not the only reason, is it?" I knew Serena wouldn't leave just to force me to break up with Dan. Even thinking the thought - well it was only because that was something in my nature to do. Which ruled out the only possibility I could truly think of, but I knew it would be important.

"No. I'm sorry, B."

I opened my arms and she embraced me in a hug, eliminating any lingering thoughts that I was the cause of her departure.

"So am I," I sighed. "I'll miss you, S."

Well, I hope that's good enough to keep you coming back for more. :)
