Blair Waldorf looked around the room anxiously for the boy her heart ached for. The crowds and masses of people in her penthouse laughed and drank loudly. Blowing on their noisemakers like idiots. Confetti litered the floors. She wished for nothing more than for everyone to dissapear.

She spots Serena standing in the corner with a short haired boy. Serena looked at Blair for a brief moment, smiling widely before returning her eyes to a cheerful (and possibly tipsy) Dan Humphery.

Blair ran through the living room in a hurry. She stops and scans the room. Bart Bass had one hand around Lily Van Der Woodsen's waist. He was talking to another couple, grinning widely. Lily, on the other hand, looked intensely at her phone. The boy she was looking for was no where in sight.

Blair continued running to the foyer. Her eyes filled with tears. She was desperate to find him. Everyone around her were loudly counting down the seconds to midnight. Her heart raced harder, beating out of her chest.

She returns her gaze upon the dark haired boy.
"Blair..." He says quietly, stepping towards her.
She frowns slightly and turns her back to him.

She opens her arms to welcome Nate Archibald into an embrace. She looks quickly around the room to see everyone looking at her. She's finally found her prince.
6 seconds.
Their heads pressed together as she felt his firm grip on her arms. 5 seconds.
She looks back at Chuck Bass, who glared at her with a his trademark smirk that made her heart break quickly. She closes her eyes tightly and chokes back the tears. "I'm sorry," she whispers, pulling away abruptly from her knight in shining armor.

She turns around to see Chuck Bass pushing for the elevator. She begins to run.

The sound of the cheerful New York crowd could be heard from outside the penthouse walls. On the inside, however, the cheerful countdown had reduced to dead silence.
Ding.
They stumble backwards into the elevator and she pulls away from him to look back at her crowded house. Everyone's shocked face were staring upon her. She felt his arms wrap around her shoulders and her hands wrapped themselves around his waist. She pushes for the button and the doors closes on the couple.
"Happy new year, Chuck Bass." She giggles.
"It's going to be a hell of a year." He replies, kissing her forhead.
She smiles widely and crashes her lips back onto his.
Happy New Year, indeed.
