Chapter One: The Break Up

"No way Blair, why?" Serena asked with her eyes widened.

"It's nothing, It just wasn't right anymore." Blair said while she took a sip from her coffee.

"Blair, you guys are just in a rough path right now. It'll smooth over." Serena said.

"It hasn't been right for a long time now." Blair said quietly.

"I'm sure, it's just your imagination." Serena said while she brushed her hair away from her face.

Blair waved goodbye to Serena when they reached her place. Serena opened the door and threw her bag on the coach. A pair of hands covered her eyes, and whispered to her ears "guess who?"

Serena let out a sigh and said quietly "Nate now isn't the time to be playing games."

"Why is that?" Nate said as spin Serena around to face him.

"I talked to Blair all morning and she told me everything….about the break up." Serena said as she tried avoid eye contact with him.

"So what? It was a long time coming and you knew that." Nate said.

Serena escaped Nate's firm grip around her waist and walked backwards. There was silence for a few minutes and she finally let out a sigh.

"I don't like this. I didn't want it this way." Serena said looking on the floor.

"You got what you wanted." Nate said reaching for her hand.

"I'm sorry I can't do this anymore." Serena said as she walked towards the door. Serena opened the door and looked at Nate for a minute.

"You should go." She said.

Nate sighed in disbelief.

"You have to be kidding me Serena. I thought you wanted us to be together." He said as he looked into her eyes.

"I thought I did too." She said as she slowly closed the door.

"But I thought wrong." Serena shut the door firmly and let out a sigh.

Serena kept telling herself that she was doing the right thing now. She closed her eyes and could remember Nate's naked body on top of hers. His breathe against her skin, and the way his finger brushed against her hair. The way Nate touched Serena made her weak and yearned for more. Serena shook her head and said to herself again "I'm doing the right thing. I can't do this to my best friend."
