This is an idea that I came up with after having seen Gossip Girl season 4x04. It is based on the characters of the TV series Gossip Girl not the book. Some of the characters might not follow those of the TV series. Hope you enjoy =]

Not a Single Tear

Chapter 1

"Hello ... Serena you need to clam down ... Are you sure ... I'm on my way." Nate spoke into his phone.

He was currently sitting in Chuck's place drinking a glass of scotch when he recieved a call from a hysterical Serena. He stood up and placed his glass on the bar surface.

"Archibald, leaving so soon?" Chuck asked as he came out from his room where he had been talking on the phone to the man who would be putting into action his next move towards Blair. For the pass six months, since Chuck had declared war on Blair, he had been unstoppable. Using all avaliable connections he had at his disposal to stay one step ahead of Blair and thus destorying everything she was looking forward to before she even knew it.

Blair had fought back, she was unwilling to let Chuck interfer in her life. Three weeks ago though things had changed. Blair had met a young man. At first she was suspicious of his intendtions, after all he could be another one of Chuck's war tactics. After a few weeks of trying to get Blair's attention, Ben seemed to not be part of Chuck's plan so Blair had decided to give him a chance.

Chuck became errated when he found out. How could she feel the pain he felt if she was laughing with someone else. Truth was that he was mad he wasn't the one behind this man. How wonderful it would be to have her fall for him the way he did with Eva and then rip him from her. If he wasn't the one who placed that man in her path, he was for sure going to be the man to rip him away from her. He just had to make sure she fell for him and when the time was right, just like a band-aid, he would rip this man away from her.

Chuck had been messing with Blair while he awaited for the right moment to put into action his plans, but he hadn't done anything big. While Nate was having a drink at Chuck's place, Chuck had received a call from one of his connections lettting him know that they were going to be able to discredit Ben whenever Chuck was ready for it. Now with his connections in place Chuck was able to sit back and wait for the appropriate moment to let the ball drop.

Stepping out of his room, Chuck was surprised to see Nate leaving so quickly after all he had just arrived.

"Serena just called me. She sounded hysterical and …" Nate stopped short, not wanting to get into this conversation with Chuck.

"What are you not telling me?" Chuck asked walking over to the bar to make himself a drink.

Chuck downed his drink and started walking after Nate. When Nate turned around and saw Chuck following him he didn't know what to do. If Chuck went with him things were going to go from bad to worse really fast.

"Where are you going Chuck?"

"I'm sure you'll need someone there to help you with my dear stepsister." Chuck simply answered and with a sigh Nate walked towards the elevator and out to comfort Serena once again.

Nate and Chuck arrived at the hospital. Although Nate somewhat knew what might be going on, at the same time he had no idea. Walking out of the elevators and into the Intensive Care Unit floor, Nate was assaulted by Serena.

"Nate it's horrible … she … horrible." Serena sobbed into Nate's chest not paying attention to who was standing next to them. Nate and Serena had a complicated relationship. Since Dan and Vanessa had moved to California to finish school, Serena and Nate had developed in an odd way. Neither wanted to ask where they stood but to an outsider they could easily pass for a couple.

"Let's go sit." Nate told Serena. They walked over to some of the chairs in the empty waiting room.

Chuck stayed behind not wanting to be near the couple. There was something inside him that wished he would have someone to comfort, that was such a foreign feeling. Chuck looked around wondering who he was there for. Not seeing Lily and remembering Serena mentioning a woman he put two and two together. A feeling unknown to him settled in the bottom of his stomach. What has happened to her that is so horrible?

Chuck didn't have enough time to ponder the question for he heard a very loud and distressed Eleanor Waldorf demanding to see her daughter.
