A/N – please read, enjoy and review! I'm on holiday for 2 weeks as of tomorrow, so I figured this was a good time to publish, as this way I won't be constantly checking if anyone's reviewed! hope you like it!
It wasn't until the following morning that she even realised she'd gone, she'd promised her she wouldn't disappear again, no matter how bad things got and Blair tried her hardest not to fall asleep first so she could keep an eye on her, but when she'd gone to sleep she'd thought Serena already was. Now all she knew was having woken up from a deep slumber Serena was nowhere to be found and impossible to contact!
As Serena's phone rang off the hook for what must have been the 15th time in the space of about half an hour a tear slid down her face, because she knew, that something wasn't right, and she felt the likelihood of Serena never coming back to her weighing down on her shoulders.
Tears slid from her wide eyes down her porcelain cheeks and dripped one by one onto her silk shirt.
They found her in the same place later, chuck and nate, sat on the edge of her bed, feet skimming the rug beneath her feet as they would kick out every so often. Tear stains dried into her cheeks. As they each took a seat either side of her she blinked but continued as before. It took them 15 whole minutes before she even noticed their presence, and so suddenly the two empty food trays left by the door made much more sense. It was the mention of this brought her out of her reverie.
"have you eaten anything at all today blair?"
She shook her head no, and sure no words came out her mouth but it counted as a response and that meant she was, even if it was gradual, coming out of her trance.
"Maybe we should ring serena?" chuck glared at nate, as soon as he saw blair's reaction to nate's latest great idea. She practically jumped at the mention of Serena's name. then suddenly she turned her head towards him, looked to nate with a look of despair in her eyes and said one single word
"impossible"
But that was almost all it took for them to understand that for now all she needed was comfort, serena obviously wasn't in the picture for whatever reason, blair just needed time to tell them herself
