When Serena left, it was almost like all they really had was each other, she became even more of a sister to him than she already was.
"Eric?" she called out his name as she entered the apartment, the place seemed unusually deserted, but she knew he must be here.
"Eric?" she proceeded up the stairs, this place held so many memories, the times her S and E used to be together, he used to crash their sleepovers and their shopping trips, he used to say she was his big sister Blair, she laughed slightly at the memories, but the place wasn't the same now, and she sighed as she looked around and then pulled herself together and continued upstairs.
She entered his bedroom and called out again "E!"
"Blair?" his voice sounded shocked and embarrassed, but desperate at the same time
She looked around the room, panic rising within her, he must be in the bathroom, the light was on his bed was empty but rumpled a drink was on his bedside table, directly next to a pair of scissors. Wait what was he doing with those?
Suddenly her heart lept into her throat and she dashed across to his bathroom standing out side his door she whispered his name again as she slowly made her way in "come on E, it's me!"
"I didn't mean for it to happen B!" he cried out as she walked into the room, he was clamping a towel down on his left wrist
Her eyes welled up, "Tell me you didn't"
He looked at her his eyes glistening with tears
"please eric!" she was desperate and she knew her words would make no difference but that didn't stop her, she would give anything for it not to be true for the next words to not slip forbidden into the room
"I wish I could!" he choked
Kneeling down slowly she grabbed at his wrist pulling back the towel, it took all her might not to cry and she couldn't stop a little of the shock showing "OH!" she breathed in sharp, her eyes met his. As she held the towel back onto his wrist with one hand she pulled his head to her with the other, as sh swapped to a cross legged position on the floor she kissed him lightly on the forehead and placed his head on her shoulder as he collapsed into her.
She hugged him to her tightly, with all her might and as much as the situation pained her, she just wanted to help, not many people would realise that it was a case of once again 'big sister blair' saved the day. so as the sobs racked his body she rocked him back and forth and caught the sobs in her own throat in an attempt to stay strong for her brother.
