A/N: My first Gossip Girl fanfic. xD HAHA. Just decided to take a shot at it ;) I am undeniably a huge CHAIR (Chuck and Blair) fan, but I have to admit that I also like Nate and Blair together. They have this whole 'first love' thing going on, and I absolutely think it's adorable. I know that how things are going on right now at the show, it's pretty impossible that Nate and Blair would still end up back together. But hey, this is fanfiction right? It's free to dream ;)
P.S. This happens at Episode 18 of Season 3, okay? And the conversation between Chuck and Nate never happened. Give it a shot. Hope you enjoy! :)
Reviews would be greatly appreciated. ;)
DISCLAIMER ALERT: I DON'T OWN GOSSIP GIRL
NATE
I couldn't believe what I just heard awhile ago.
"He set me up to sleep with Jack in exchange of his beloved empire" Blair said, and I could see the tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
I knew Chuck Bass was something, but I never thought that he could do something as vile as this, much more to Blair Waldorf. My first love.
That's when I decided.
I'd take away Blair from this place.
I'd take her away from the Upper East Side.
I know there is a great chance that she would refuse, UES was her kingdom after all, and running away just isn't her thing. It's Serena's. But I could somehow find a way to convince her to leave, and besides, Blair never says no to me. I know that this is a rush decision, but can you really blame me? I just found out that my first love (who I might still, scratch that, I still have feelings for) A.K.A my best friend was just traded for a hotel. And guess who traded her? Chuck Bass. Her boyfriend, my other best friend. Welcome to the fucked up life of the Upper East Side.
I knew there would be a lot at stake. Serena, Chuck, The Waldorf's, The Vanderbilt's and Archibald's, hell the whole UES would become abuzz if we just suddenly disappear. But at the moment I couldn't care less because this is for the well-being of Blair Waldorf . The girl I dated for more than a decade or so. I couldn't stand to see her hurting anymore, and I knew that once the word got out of what Chuck did, Blair would suffer and be more humiliated then. Its better to be safe than sorry.
I know I'm dating Serena, but I'm sure she would understand once she knows the whole story. Well, I hope she did. I would tell her what Chuck did, but I'm sure once Blair finds out I told her, she would cut off my tongue and never speak to me again.
So that's why I'm inside a cab, on my way to the Waldorf penthouse.
I know Dorota's wedding would be tomorrow, and Blair wouldn't want to miss that, but I have to at least try.
I have to try to take Blair away from here.
Away from this drama.
Away from this world.
Away from this pain.
'Away from Chuck Bass'
BLAIR
I glanced at my alarm clock and it said 1:30 AM.
It was 1:30 o'clock and I haven't batted an eyelash. I just couldn't sleep. All the stress of Dorota's wedding and Chuck are taking a toll on me, and I am so exhausted, but I just can't seem to sleep.
At times like this, I think about my life.
I should have been at Yale right now, already engaged with Nate Archibald. Once we graduate college, I would start my own law firm and Nate and I would get married and have two children. I will wear the Vanderbilt ring proudly in my hand and I will host society events and charity gala. Me and Nate would live happily ever after. But where am I now? Studying at Columbia University and heartbroken over Chuck-fucking-Bass. I just pretty much sold myself for a hotel. If you would tell me this years ago, I would have laughed at your face. But I guess that's just the thing about life. Unpredictable.
If I am honest with myself, there are times that I just want to run away. To get away. There have lots of times. But somehow, my family, Chuck's and Serena's face always popped into my mind. And besides, I am a Waldorf. And a Waldorf never runs, they face their problems head on with a chin held high.
A soft knocked from my door interrupted me from my reverie.
I frowned 'Who could be visiting me at this time of day?'
'Chuck…' a hopeful voice inside my head said, but I shook the thought off. "Come in," I said softly, scared that I might wake Eleanor or Cyrus up. Or worse, Dorota.
I was surprise to say the least when I saw Nate Archibald entered my room.
"Nate? What are you doing here?" I asked him. I sat up from my sleeping position.
Nate didn't speak a word as he sat down on the edge of my bed. "What's the matter, Nate?" I asked him, clearly concern. I put my hand on top of his and he met my gaze.
"Ran away with me." He said. It wasn't a question, but instead it was a statement.
"WHAT?" I shouted. I covered my mouth with my hand immediately. Well, that certainly was unexpected. "What are you talking about, Nate?" I asked him.
Nate looked down "Ran away with me" He said once again. He looked up to me and I met his emerald green eyes. "I don't want to see you hurting anymore, Blair." He said and my heart melted. Just awhile ago I was thinking of running away, and now here he was, asking me to do the same thing. With him.
But as usual, Serena, my family and Chuck's faces popped into my head and I just can't. "I… can't Nate." I told him hesitantly.
He sighed "Why not? After everything that happened, why not run away from this place? Don't you want to start anew Blair? Where nobody cares about what our last names are, or nobody reads Gossip Girl?"
I answered him with a question of my own "Why are you suddenly doing this?"I was seriously confused. He and Serena are officially together now, so why would he want to escape?
Nate just shrugged his shoulders "Because after everything that happened, I still love you Blair. Aside from the fact that we have been together for a decade, you are my best friend. And I knew you'd get hurt more sooner or later." He explained.
Nate was right.
Maybe this is what I needed.
I know I am being stupid and reckless and running away.
And Blair Waldorf never runs away.
But I guess Blair Waldorf died once she went up to meet Jack Bass.
So I shot a smile at Nate, "Are you sure about this?" I asked him hesitantly.
He nodded his head feverishly "I am 100 percent sure" he answered.
"Good. I'll meet you downstairs in a few minutes. While you wait, get us some tickets to London." I ordered him.
Once Nate exited my room, I immediately got my only duffel bag and stuffed everything that I could see.
As I was packing, I was starting to plan everything in my head. Every single thing should be covered if we didn't want to be found.
Once finish packing, I gave my room a last look and flickered the lights off.
A/N: So yeah… I know this isn't my best writing, but I wrote this is 2:30 in the morning. HAHA. xD It just popped into my head. I don't know if this would be multi-chaptered or oneshot, so you decide. xD Now, just to clear things up. Running Away in the sense to escape, not elope, okay? Tell me what you think! And oh, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask. :)
