A/N: Well, I thought I'd take a stab at GG Fanfics. We'll see how well it goes! This one is set on New Years Eve (late, I know!) and the song is "Black Roses Red" by Alana Grace. I heard it in Sisterhood of The Traveling Pants, and its been stuck in my head for forever! BTW-this is a two shot, so I'll have the next chap up soon!

Blair Waldorf walked into her house, and immediately it felt wrong. Her mother wasn't there having a strange sort of party-like gathering with some friends, and she wasn't descending upon Blair in a flurry of attention to keep up the face of being the perfect mother with the perfect daughter. Tonight, there was no strangling embrace and excited squeal. No hair-frizzing hugs.

Huh. She never thought that she'd hate not getting this attention.

Can I ask you a question please?
Promise you won't laugh at me.
Honestly I'm standing here
afraid I'll be betrayed.

Blair walked into her room, sitting on her luxurious bed. Nobody was here, either. Sometimes Nate would stop by, or Serena would pop up to keep up the charade of still being best friends.

Nobody was here today.

Drowning in my loneliness
How long must I hold my breath?
So much emptiness inside I could fill the deepest sea.

She got up and opened her curtains and watched as the sky filled with fireworks. The big clock tower on her block chimed away, informing her that it was midnight.

I reach to the sky as the moon looks on.
One last year has come and gone…
It's time to let your love rain down on me.

Watching the happy couples kissing below her, she felt like crying. When she saw some of the guys bending down to propose, she felt like chucking a rock at their heads. Especially when she saw Nate. It looked like he was alone, and she opened her window to call down at him. But she saw his face light up, and knew suddenly that he wasn't alone.

As twisted as it seems
I only fear love when it's in my dreams.
So let the morning light come in
and let the darkness fade away…

He rushed forward, but didn't get far. He ran right into the open arms of a beautiful girl, as tall as Blair but definitely prettier. Her glossy blonde hair was flying and speckled with white, from the gently falling snow. She squeezed him tight, her arms wrapping around him like a snake clinging to its prey. Blair noticed, somewhat bitterly, that this girl's hair wasn't deflated by the wind and snow. There was only one girl whose hair could stand such bad weather...

Serena.

Let the darkness fade away…

Blair scowled and slammed her window shut, but she couldn't make herself look away. He was talking to her, she was laughing, and they were still hugging. They looked away, at the fireworks. Slowly, the pair turned to look at each other. Then, they kissed.

Blair felt like screaming.

Can you turn my black roses red?
Cause I feel like I'll blame it on love.
I'm feeling like I'll blame it on love.

Blair sighed softly. She should be happy for her supposed best friend, but she couldn't. She just couldn't. Not when it was her boyfriend that was making her best friend so happy.

Can you turn my black roses red?
Yeah I feel like I'll blame it all on love.

Blair's eyes welled up. Oh, no. She wasn't going to cry! Waldorfs did not cry. They did not.

She told herself this, even as the tears streamed down her face. She grabbed the tiny heart she'd gotten from Nate for Christmas and threw it into the garbage can. She couldn't look at it. It was the witness to too many sweet things that Nate had said or done, and it just wasn't something she wanted.

I feel like I'll blame it all on love.

000000

When you were bitten by a snake, you were supposed to suck all the poison out. That, Blair realized, was what she had to do.

I'll blame it all on love.

So she stood tall and dressed herself in her nicest pair of jeans, her long wool Nanette Lepore coat with the oversized buttons, and a grey wool beret. She also wore her lucky Tiffany necklace, the one with a silver heart charm and the toggle clasp in front. She'd had a four-leaf clover engraved on the back, with her initials in the middle. She felt like she'd need luck today.

Promise you won't laugh at me?

She fished the gold heart out of the garbage and set it back on her desk, trying not to cry. Hey, just because Nate was horrible didn't mean she had to through away the gifts he'd given her, did it?

I only fear love
when it's in my dreams.

She walked out of her room, taking her favorite purse with her, and sighed. She knew she had a mission cut out for her now, and she had to work hard if she wanted to reach her goal.

Let the morning light come in
and let the darkness fade away…

A/N: I'm working on the 2nd chap...it'll be up soon...review!
