Chapter 1: THE WRONG GOODBYE – PART 1
They had the type of love that little girls went to bed dreaming about.
The type of love that consumes every fibre of your body.
That makes you crazy, totally confuses you and messes with everything you think you have set in stone; making the foundations seem very unstable.
They had the type of love that could easily break your heart a thousand times, in ways you didn't think you ever possible to recover from, but that still, at the end of the day, left you coming back for more.
What they had was perfect, priceless, beautiful, messy, all-consuming, infuriating, complicated, powerful and…gone.
She was gone.
They were gone.
Everything they'd ever had was gone.
And the funny thing was; it had been his decisions, to let Blair Waldorf, the love of his life, go.
A part of him had hoped that she wouldn't let him make the decision for her
That she would turn around and tell him that he had always been the one.
That he made her happy.
And that if she didn't have him in her fairytale, then it wouldn't really be a fairytale at all.
But she hadn't.
Instead, she had looked at him with tear filled eyes and told him that she would always love him.
What made it even worse was that he knew it was true.
In the same way that he knew, no matter what happened, he would always love her.
A part of him would at least.
They say, that in every person's life, you have your soul mate; your one great love.
You don't always end up with that person, but they are the one who could walk in the second before you said your vows on your wedding day, and they could make you think twice.
That was what they were:
Two lovers, soul mates in fact, torn apart by bad timing, selfishness and selflessness, and many more exterior forces.
They were fate.
A tragedy.
A beautiful tragedy that he would replay every time given the chance…
But, a tragedy none the less.
And that tragedy had finally ended.
Their story had ended with a beginning almost.
It was, after all, fitting that they should share their final goodbye in the halls of the place they had once called their kingdom.
The place where everything had begun, if you thought about it.
"I will always love you"
"And I will always love you"
There you had it.
The story of Chuck and Blair was finally over.
He'd put up a good fight, but, in the end, they brought out the dark side in each other. With Louis, she was the light, happy Blair.
The Blair he loved.
He'd put up a good fight but, in the end, they just weren't good together anymore, he thought to himself as he walked away from her for the last time.
But then he heard it.
The clatter of heels, running on sidewalk.
