Notes: This fanfiction is in fact an extract of a story called 'Somebody to love' that I wish to maybe write later on if this reveals itself successful. In this AU, Elena has left Mystic Falls with Jenna and Jeremy for the Upper East Side after the accident that has killed her parents. She knows nothing about the existence of vampires.

A huge thanks to djeny for her beta work on this story.

Blair entered Elena's apartment and went straight to the elevator. When she reached it, she pressed the button and waited for the door to open in front of her and then went in. When the door closed, she took off the proud look that she always had on her face publicly and pressed herself down against the back wall, revealing all her insecurities in her eyes. Why had she done this and risked everything that she had built with Elena, her bright new life and their relationship? Why did she have to be so weak and go to sleep with someone else after one big fight? She feared that Elena would never forgive her this. It was right that she had felt that it was wrong immediately after it had been over with Chuck, but she should have never slept with him in the first place. She loved Elena, she truly did.

The little ring indicated to Blair that she had reached Elena's floor and that the inevitable was approaching faster and faster with every second that went by. The door opened a little too fast for her taste and she slowly exited the elevator and went straight to Elena's – no, their room. Elena was sitting there on the side of the bed, tears filling her eyes. When Blair was close enough, she saw a little smile on the corner of Elena's lips appear. Maybe there was still hope.

Elena spoke first. 'I'm so sorry for what I said earlier Blair. Of course, I don't want you to forget who you are and the people you love for me. I can't ask you to change only for my own benefits. Let's put all of this behind us, shall we?'

How much Blair would have loved to hear words like these if she had not gone through a crazy phase an hour before. But now, Elena's words broke her heart because it showed that she was entirely in their relationship, that she was willing to forget her insecurities, it must have been hard for her to accept everything, and now Blair was going to destroy everything all over again. For a few seconds, Blair considered the idea of keeping everything a secret – as long as Chuck wouldn't say anything – but deeply inside of her, Blair knew that there was no going back, she had to tell her the truth.

Blair opened her mouth but no sounds would come out, only tears were flooding out of her eyes and down her cheeks. Something was also chocking her from the inside. She fought to get the words out even though it was killing her to do it.

'Oh, Elena... I am so so sorry. I just made a huge mistake, I ruined everything...'

As she was speaking, Blair saw her girlfriends's olive-skinned face lose its composure gradually; a single tear came out of her right eye, running down her cheek as she realized that nothing would be the same anymore. Seeing Elena's reaction was even worse than everything that she already felt herself...

THE END ?
