A/N This is my second fanfic and my first multi-chapter story, reviews are greatly appreciated!! I do not own Gossip Girl, TCM, or Two for the Road
After being so unceremoniously rejected by Chuck and convinced by Serena to stay in New York, Blair Waldorf returned to her penthouse, crawled under her plush goose down covers, and wished that she could die.
Her whole life had collapsed around her and she felt more alone and unwanted than usual. The only time she had truly felt happy and desired was during her brief affair with Chuck. Even her clueless ex, Nate, had noticed how much happier she had become, and as soon as he wanted her back, she dumped Chuck and went back to Nate. Nothing had worked the way she had planned. After Chuck exposed their secret relationship, Nate wanted nothing to do with her, and she became a social leper. Her recent conversation with Chuck showed just how far she had fallen. Though she refused to admit it to herself, she felt something for Chuck and his rejection was the absolute worst. It was time for a new plan, but Blair had no idea as to what that new plan would be.
Realizing that her death wish wouldn't come true, Blair turned on TCM. It was Audrey Hepburn month so Blair was sure that she could watch a great movie and escape from her problems. She was shocked to see that Two for the Road was on. It wasn't her favorite Audrey movie, but it was a good one. As the movie progressed, she found many parallels in the relationship between Joanna and Mark. One scene resonated the most in which Joanna has and affair and then comes back to Mark.
Joanna: "I'm Back"
Mark: "You humiliate me, you humiliated me and then you come back?"
Joanna: "That's Right"
Mark: "Thank God!"
That was how it was supposed to work. Chuck was supposed to take her back even after all the pain she had caused him. He had always been there for her, and Blair was going to make sure that he would take her back and that he would help her get back to where she belonged, the top of the UES food chain.
