Authors Note: I got the idea mostly from Bloc Party's "Signs" that played at the end of 2.13. This is just a short/preview chapter
"B, you have to get up now." Serena implored her best friend while rubbing her back. She hated this, other than mourning herself for him she was mourning for Blair. Although she refused to accept this shell as Blair, and she wasn't sure it ever would be again. The blonde sighed, "Dorota," she called "can you run a bath? I'll probably need help getting Blair in as well." The only other one who might be hurting as much for Blair is Dorota, she knew Miss Blair enough to know this was not Miss Blair. After a few minutes they had successfully submerged Blair into the tub, it's not that Blair protested, she was just limp. Dorota left to prepare Miss Blair's clothing, and breakfast that she knew she wouldn't eat.
"What was that B?" Serena asked timidly, she swore she heard Blair mumble something under her breath, her first words since the incident.
"It's pathetic; I can't even wash my own hair." Her voice was so weak and broken and words felt foreign on her tongue, "Not that there's really a point, what's the point in anything."
"The point is Blair Waldorf has never not washed her hair for three days. And today she can't stay in bed all day."
"I'm not leaving the house S." But Blair knew she would, she had to be there, even if every fiber of her being willed her not to go, it would make it real. She was still at times able to convince herself it wasn't real, but seeing the body, that would be real, "I should get out now." Serena grabbed a nearby towel Dorota had laid out and wrapped it around her, squeezing her best friend as sobs started to shake her body
"It's not real, it can't be real, he wouldn't do this to me." And there was nothing the blonde could say that would console her, so she just hugged tighter and kissed the top of her head. She didn't care if it was wrong to curse the dead, she cursed Chuck Bass, had he simply stepped away from the roof top she'd have her Blair.
Like I said short chapter just to get started, the coming chapter will be the funeral and first letter.
