(A/N: Thought it'll be better to have some background info of my fanfic before I started, it's not really centralised on ONE couple, but I have a few couples drawn up. The only confirmed one is Chuck/Blair cause they are amazing together, and most possibly about Dan/Serena/Nate/Vanessa and Eric/Jenny. Jenny turned Eric straight. Enjoy! The song in the fic is Center of Attention by Mayday Parade.)

"The plane's setting off in an hour, Blair, we've got to go! Get out of there already!" Serena screamed at her best friend, anxious to get to the airport in time. The group of them were going on a trip to Paris, which Blair called 'Exploring the Love', as she knew Serena loved Dan and Dan loved her, but to complicate the equation was Nate Archibald. Her main purpose of the trip was to help Serena figure out who was the right guy for her.

"I'm coming, I'm coming! Is Chuck even here with the limo yet?"

"Blair, honey, everyone's waiting for you! Let's go!"

At the airport, Blair looked at Vanessa and scrunched up her eyebrows. "Honestly? S, I didn't know about this."

Offended, Vanessa turned and was ready to walk off, but Nate interrupted, "Hey, Blair, chill off. I asked Vanessa to come along." Sighing, Blair murmured to herself, "This will be a long trip.."

Blair and Chuck were the usual, mushy, sexual couple in their seats, a good four rows behind the rest, while Dan and Serena were next to each other adjacent to Nate and Vanessa.

Nate seemed really caring towards Vanessa, helping her with everything, defending Vanessa from Blair's spiteful remarks, Serena felt herself growing jealous. Dan was his usual broody, thinking self, and he was wonderful towards her, but she saw him bent over, writing furiously on a piece of paper, and she guessed that he was probably noting down ideas for his next book that he had been struggling with for some time. Why couldn't he be like Nate?

Perhaps Paris would be where she could finally decide, whether she loved Dan or Nate more. One was her friend since forever, one was the greatest guy she had ever met, and unlike most of her friends, he didn't care about where they went, whether it was the best dining experience money could buy, he just knew that every moment with her, it was the best of their lives. Dan had been through a lot. From 'Lonely Boy' to suddenly being the center of attraction, it wasn't easy to take. But for her, he had taken it in his stride. He was fantastic, but Nate was the first love of her life, that she could not deny.

Sweetie now obviously

You know it's not obvious to me

But it's not plain enough to see

Serena got up, and went to the washroom. She had to make a decision, this indecision whether to choose Nate or Dan was killing her. Blair thought that she and Nate did make a great couple, but said that Dan was the love that she couldn't refuse. Somehow, she had felt like this all the way, the words that Dan said made her feel so special and amazing, but it was Nate's caring way that she liked about him. This was driving her crazy, she couldn't take this for much longer.

You're falling baby

I've been waiting

You took the long way home

In that dress, it makes me crazy

I'm not the only one

It's cold outside

Keep your heart open wide

Save it for somebody who cares

Somebody who cares
