AN: An update and a new story, in ONE day? This is so not like me! Well I'm bored since Fanforum is down so it left me to write. I know I said I wouldn't be starting anything new till after my hiatus, but this one kinda has to. It's set after 3x17 when CB break up. Now it will have mentions of CB but this is DS fic. NS are still together. I know the title of the fic is very close to one of my older fics but I got the second part of the idea (in a future chapter) from a song by the same name. Last Train Home by Ryan Star, check it out, it's soooooo good. ;) I'm going based off 3x17 so obviously NS are together but there's a touch of 3x20 because V will be gone on her internship, but I'm putting my own spin on things. Review and let me know if you like the idea and if I should continue :D
Blair sat there curled up into a ball. She couldn't believe what Chuck did to her. Setting her up like that, making her think that sleeping with Jack would be the own way. She couldn't even breathe she was so angry. Serena sat at the edge of Blair's bed just watching her best friend fall apart and there was nothing she could do. She tried bringing up food, clothes, and even the latest hits on Gossip Girl. Nothing was working. She texted Nate while Blair was sleeping. He was at a lacrosse game and was begging her to come. But Serena stood her ground and said she had to stay with Blair.
After half an hour Blair woke up. She was shaking. She tried to make this all seem like one bad dream, only it wasn't. Serena wiped the tears away from her face and gave her a smile. She was trying to be the rock for her best friend, only it was a hard thing to do.
"Miss Blair, you have visitor." Dorota peeked her head through the door.
"Send them away."
"Who is it Dorota?" Serena was interested.
"It's Miss Anabelle."
Anabelle Waldorf was Blair's older cousin. She was 21 and skipped the Ivy League root when she landed a job in fashion. Eleanor was a little jealous that Anabelle was more famous then she'd ever be. She was more of a trendsetter than anything else really. She just went out finding the new fads and made things popular. She was 5'4 and had hair like Blair. She was a little bit more curvier though. Anabelle walked in and took her sunglasses off. She gave Blair a look that only they understood. It was a mix of an I'm sorry with a we'll make him pay.
"Oh Blair, what have you gotten yourself into now?"
"It's Chuck."
"Say no more. I knew he would break your heart."
"This isn't time for an I told you so." Serena made her way into the conversation.
"What else can I really say to her? I told her after I was done with Chuck that it would be hard to tame him."
"But she did it, wait you slept with Chuck."
"Mhmm. Then again who hasn't?" She laughed.
"And you're okay with this B?" Serena was in shock.
"She had him first. Besides S, that's not the main issue."
"And I slept with Nate too."
"What!!" Serena was surprised.
"Serena is dating him now Anabelle." Blair felt like a mediator.
"Oh, well think of it as one less girl he'll sleep with later."
"That's not comforting."
"Look Serena, I'm not a slut, so don't give me that look."
"Well the way you make it sound..."
"Enough!" Blair screamed.
"Blair, you wanna go shopping or something?"
Blair just shook her head and fell into her bed. Dorota made her way back into the room.
"You have another visitor." Dorota patted her stomach. She was reaching 9 months.
"Ugh, lock all the doors. I want to be alone."
"Nice to see you too Blair." Dan said softly.
"What do you want Humphrey?"
"I had to drop off something for Vanya and our English Lit teacher gave me your paper assignment. I didn't want you to get in trouble."
"That was really sweet of you Dan." Serena gushed.
"I try." Dan replied then noticed Anabelle. "Don't think we ever met, I'm Dan."
"Anabelle Waldorf, Blair's cousin."
"Another Waldorf, just what New York needs." Dan laughed.
"We're a rare breed."
"Indeed you are. I have to get back to campus. Bye."
"Bye." Anabelle said eagerly.
Anabelle watched as Dan left. She was up on her tippy toes watch him walk. She grinned and Serena looked pissed. That made it all more enjoyable for her.
"I just found my latest conquest."
"You're here for Blair, not Dan."
"What crawled up your ass and died?"
"Dan is her ex. And I really want to be alone. So you can both leave.
Anabelle and Serena just glared at each other. Anabelle reached for her things and darted out of the room, with Serena close behind. Serena gave a pissed off look as she shut Blair's door. It was met with a half hearted grin.
"Don't be like that S, you're face will freeze."
"My fist is about to freeze and beat the crap out of your face."
"Worry about your own boyfriend." Anabelle walked off.
Anabelle scoured the city looking for Dan. At this point it was more about getting back at Serena than actually being with Dan. She just wanted something to rub in her face. She finally saw him in a coffee shop in Brooklyn. She casually made her way to the counter. Totally acted normal, as if she'd been here a thousand times. She cleared her throat to get his attention and it failed. She decided to just get a coffee and leave.
"Anabelle? What are you doing here?"
"Dan, is it? Blair wanted to be alone, so I figured to go as far as I could."
"And Brooklyn was your destination."
"Kind of. Decided to go somewhere different."
"Wanna get a table?"
"Sure."
They spent the next hour talking. They had more in common then they thought. Well Anabelle lied through some of it. But they did like the same art and tv, if any of that counts. She laughed at all the right moments and he was attentive to every thing. She was slowly losing attraction to him. Not that he wasn't great, cause he was. She was looking more for a sex partner than someone to connect with on another level and forge a relationship. She had to think fast. She drop her lip gloss and he went to pick it up. She scooted her seat over and their eyes met as Dan came back up. He was surprised and she moved in and kissed him. Dan quickly pulled away and licked his lips.
"Look, I have a girlfriend."
"I know, Serena mentioned it."
"So, I'm not that guy. The guy that cheats."
"But you girlfriend is so far away, blame it on sadness or whatever."
"Look what Serena told you was true."
"Yeah, how you're a great guy and all. I'm only looking for one night."
"I'm sorry. I can't do this. I wouldn't be into it. Not when my heart is somewhere else. Not when there's someone else I want to be with."
"You feel really passionate about that girl, huh?"
"Yeah, I really love her."
"So what's her name?"
"Who?"
"Your girlfriend, the girl you're clearly talking about."
"Uh, that's not important. I have to go."
"Can we be friends then? I don't want it to be awkward if we ever meet again."
"Sure we'll forget this." Dan smiled and walked away.
"I'm back." Anabelle yelled.
"Tell me you didn't do it!" Blair replied running out of the bathroom and hopping on her bed.
"No, I didn't."
"Thank god! You grew a mind."
"Oh I kissed him, and he rejected me."
"Wow, that's new."
"He kept going on and on about how he wouldn't be into it cause his heart is somewhere else. And he loves another."
"Ugh, with Vanessa right? That's his girlfriend."
"I wasn't talking about her. He never said her name."
"That has to be it. He's dating her."
"He only said those things when I mentioned Serena."
