Authors note: Guys, I'm not a native speaker, so I probably made tons of mistakes, It would be nice if one you would re- read the next chapter before i publish it;-)Anyways hope you like my story...I love Dan and Serena together and I still believe that the two of them are over;-)

Dan Humphrey was what one would describe as a normal teenage boy. He went to a private school, shared a flat with his father and his sister and he had a best friend. But there was a slight difference to every other person on this planet, he suffered from a broken heart. If you ask people, especially older ones about true love, they normally roll their eyes, fake a smile and then ramble on about that its quite impossible to say that you found your true love at the age of seventeen.

But Dan did. And he let her go.

Its scary how one relationship can break down in just one night. How people who have once been close to each other suddendly became strangers. He hadn't seen her since the night of the wedding. He tried to phone her several times- but each time he picked up the phone, he couldn't force himself to dial the number he had memorized more than any other number in his cell. It was not that he didn't want to talk to her, he just didn't know what to say to her, nor if she even wanted to speak to him. You can't hurt someone the way he did and then just phone her up for a casual talk about the weather or something. But she hadn't done any attempt to keep in touch with him either, sure she did ask his sister about him but she never actually called in to talk to him.

He put on a brave face whenever Vanessa or his dad tried to start a conversation with him, just listening with half-of his heart to them. First he couldn't fool them,but he became better in pretending to be fine and happy. He was despaired to get information about her, he missed her every second of the day and wondered if she felt the same. If she couldn't walk through New York without remembering all the place they have been together, all the conversations they had, all the little secrets their shared, all the little things in life that made them smile.

He used to check gossip once every day, everytime his heart beating faster than usual, waiting for a comment about serena.. if she had been spotted and more importantly- if she already replaced him. He was sure that the whole thing they shared with each other meant the same thing to her, then it did to him, but she was Serena van der Woodsen, the most stunning and beautiful person on this planet, and she wasn't in need to search for a new boyfriend, since she already a thousand admires.

But there was nothing about her, it was like she suddendly vanished.

The last post about her had been on the night after the wedding. It was unusually nice for gossip girl.

" I proudly announce that..no guys, this comment is not gonna be about the wedding- I announce that we are all glad and thankful that B got ridd of G. Yes, as much as i'm loving cat fights- this girl was just pure evil and we didn't want to see her hurting S more.

It turned out that she pretty much tried to ruin our pretty girl's life--but let me just tell you one thing little G- no one can uncrown that girl- especially not with that friends behind her.

Sadly lonely boy does not see his princess in the shiny light anymore, sources tell me that he broke up with her,at her mothers wedding. C-r-u-e-l...no one deserves that...especially not after she told him that she thought they where forever..hopefully lonely boy comes to his senses and realizes what he let go..."

Even gossip girl noticed that he has been a complete idiot.

He went over to his cupboard. Behind the "petting zoo" he finally found what he had been looking for: The book she had given to him shortly after they exchanged their i-love-you's. He opened it and smiled as he looked through the pages. She knew he wasn't a big fan of expensive gifts, so she had just put her heart into that book, telling the story of their relationship with snapshoots. There was the one Rufus took on Thanks giving and one from the coitillion. He slowly went through the pages ,starring at each picture a long time,wishing to be back at that time.

He didn't even noticed when his door opened and a girl came him."Dan, what the hell are you still doing here? Remember? We had plans for lunch, like an hour ago, I'm literally starving,and its your fault" That took him by surprise,he dropped the book onto the floor and looked up to meet his best friends glaze.

He grabbed the first jacket he got hold off and followed her out of the door, onto the streets. She linked arms with him, and he got the feeling that Vanessa was actually more than relieved that his upper-east side days with one special blonde were over. There was a time he would have been more than pleased to have Vanessa looking at him like that, but right now, it just felt wrong.

They went to the little cafe Vanessa used to work at before summer holidays and they sat down at their usual table, ordering the same food they always ate. Dan remembered how he came here with Serena several times. They had this thing going on, where one ordered for the other one the meal, just to make sure that you ate something different everytime. He loved to see the smile on her face when she picked something, by accident, he really wanted to eat that day and likewise he was happy when he chose something that she loved. It was one of the many proofs how much the two of them knew about each other.

"Would you mind talking to me a little? Just that I don't feel like I'm talking to some stupid wall or something? Because if that has been my intention I would have stayed at home talking to my kitchenwall, since the two of us start to get along really well these days!"She grinned at him.

He tried to focus on their conversation and found himself actually enjoying the conversation up to the point,when...
