The story is set just after Serena leaves for boarding school. Blair still isn't aware that Serena's left yet. I wrote this story to .. settle my current obssesion with Gossip Girl and to try and make a distraction until Season 2 starts, Lol :)! Sorry if it doesn't make sense in some parts and if it's a tad repetitive..
This is my first story, So please, Be gentle :)

Disclaimer: Obviously I don't own Gossip Girl or any of the characters. If I did, Blair would see the error of her ways and realise Chuck is the real prince :)

Dreaming Out Loud - Chapter One.

She tried to call Serena again, but like the past 10 times she tried calling, she reached her voicemail. Dammit Serena, Where in God's name are you?! She threw her phone down on her bed in frustration, as her thoughts slowly returned to why she was calling her in the first place. She started sobbing silently into her pillow when she heard someone knock on her door. Oh great, Just what I need.

"Blair darling, Please let me in. I just want to talk to you.. Please, I don't want to leave us like this.."

She could feel the hatred in her heart. She opened her door and stared her father straight in the eyes. She could see that he was scared. Scared of her reaction, Scared of what she was going to say, Scared of losing his only daughter.. She knew that she should immediately comfort him and tell him everything was fine, That he should go with.. Eugh, she thought to herself.. Roman, And be happy, Even if she wasn't with him. But she was selfish and she knew it. She wanted her father all to herself. He couldn't leave her with Eleanor. How could he? Her mother didn't even love her. All she cared about was her work & making sure that Blair didn't gain too much weight, Ruining her reputation. Her father was her rock; She knew he loved her, But now he was leaving her. It was her hearts desire for him to be happy, But what about her?

"Why don't you just cut the crap, Father, And admit it. You don't care about me, Obviously not enough because you're about to elope to France to be with your model boyfriend, Roman. You are well aware that Eleanor hates me-"

"Your mother does not hate you Blair, How could you think such a th-"

"Don't lie to me father! I've seen the way she looks at me! I see how she watches every single thing I eat & gets upset when I don't eat enough, But then gets angry when I eat too much! I know that all she wants to do is.. present me to her friends. She doesn't really love me the way you do father.. Or at least the way I thought you did. Just go. Go be happy with your boyfriend. Send me a postcard from France."

She slammed the door in his face and broke down crying, Back against the door. Her father slipped a letter underneath her door and she heard him say "I love you.." Before he turned away and walked out of her life.

She read the letter, Tears falling hard now.

My dearest Blair,

If you are reading this letter, That means that you haven't forgiven me and you didn't give me a chance to say all the things that I needed to say.

I need you to understand that this has nothing to do with you. I have been fighting this feeling for a long time and the truth is, I am just not happy with your mother. Don't get me wrong, I still love Eleanor with all my heart, But the simple truth is, I'm not in love with her.

Blair, You are my world, And I would gladly agree to have you come live with me in my villa in France, But i'm sure you would not want to leave your friends and your school, Not to mention that you would probably not want to live with me and my .. Well .. Boyfriend. But always remember Blair, It is an open invitation. Even if it is for only a couple of weeks, You are always welcome to come and stay with me.

Blair, I love you so much and it kills me to have to leave you, But I think that it is what's best for everybody.

I love you Blair,

Daddy xx.

She threw the letter on the floor and ran to the bathroom to do the only thing that she knew best.

Chuck took a sip of his scotch and thought about the past few weeks. He thought about what he had witnessed between Nate and Serena. God, Nate is such an idiot. How could he lose his virginity to Serena? After everything he's been through with Blair.. Blair was beautiful, So why couldn't Nate see that?

He sighed and put his head in his hands. Why was he even having a second thought about this? Nate was his best friend, Full stop. So whatever he chose to do, It was his prerogative. If he wanted to go sleep with Serena, that was his decision. God knows he was in no position to pass judgement, But at least he wasn't attached.. To the most beautiful girl on the Upper East Side, He added.

He took another sip of his scotch. Deep down, He always knew it should've been him with Blair, And not Nate. Ever since he first laid eyes on her in kindergarten, Even though he was only a kid, He knew she was his princess and his happily ever after. But of course, Just like everything else, Nate took it away from him. Sure, they were best friends, But he always felt a certain content against him. And besides, he didn't appreciate Blair. He didn't understand how truly precious she was. If it was him in Nate's position, he would cherish every moment spent with Blair.

After he had witnessed Serena and Nate.. Ravishing eachother, He decided to make a solid effort to try and be there for Blair. He let her be whoever she wanted to be with him. They often spent the day together, Watching Breakfast At Tiffany's and just talking. Although he would never admit that to anyone, After all he still had a reputation to uphold. He would tell Blair about every girl he slept with, Partially because he actually wanted her to lecture him on his "promiscuous" ways. Suprisingly enough though, She would never give him looks of disgust or shun him from her sight, She would just look at him with disappointment and tell him he was better then that. Every single time.

Blair would confide in him about her insecurities of Nate and Chuck, Somewhat mechanically, Would reassure her. Secretly, He wished he could tell her about what he saw, But he knew better. He knew that it would break her heart and seeing her hurt was the last thing he wanted to do.

He was about to order another Scotch when his phone started vibrating in his pocket. He sighed. Who the hell could that be? He looked at the screen and saw a screenshot of an image of perfection, Blair. He smiled and answered his phone.

"Just can't keep away from me, Can you Waldorf?" He laughed down the phone.

"Chuck.. Please.. I need you.." He could barely decipher her words through broken sobs.

"Blair, What's wrong? Are you hurt?" He started to panic.

"Just come to my place, Please.." The phone went dead and he found that he had already started dialling for his limo. Within five minutes he was in his limo, On his way to once again to rescue Blair.

I hope you guys liked it so far :) Reviews would be nice! Thank you :D
