"Blair, fancy seeing you here" Nate said smiling as he opened his apartment door, and saw Blair standing their with her hair loosely down in her hair, with her wearing, a dress with a pair of black heels, with her Kate Spade handbag and a pair of sunglasses on her head.

Blair smiled and said, "Can I come in? Chuck is away on business or so he says for about a week and I'm lonely" Nate nodded and said, "Sure come in I understand Blair" as he extended the door, Blair walked into her best friend and her fiancée's penthouse, over looking the upper east of New York.

"So I was just about to make myself a drink you want one?" Nate inquired Blair as she put her handbag down, she sat down on the bar stool and said, "Yeah thank you, so how are you?" He looked at his ex girlfriend, as he wiped a glass, and said, "No problem, I am alright Serenas in Paris for fashion week and so how is Chuck?" Blair looked at him and said, "I'm terrible- sorry I shouldn't tell you"

Nate looked at her and said, "No its fine you can tell me I'm your ex boyfriend and remember one of your best friends" as he added a shot of vodka towards the drink, Blair smiled she could trust Nate really well and then sighed and said, "Chuck has been busy all week, and he always comes home smelling like the other perfume, and his shirt always has lipstick stains" Blair then suddenly felt tears welling up. Nate looked at Blair and handed her the drink.

"What is it?" inquired Blair, Nate smiled and said, "Just some vodka, kiwi fruit, strawberries, oranges, banana and a fair amount of scotch and some rum so lets call it a paradise Cheers" as he had some scotch on the rocks for himself, "You didn't have too do this" Blair said, Nate said, "Yeah I did your upset and I love you Blair, your like my best friend but the female type"

Blair smiled as she sipped her cocktail, it was refreshing, after she finished her drink she had just remembered she hadn't ate dinner, last time she ate was lunch and she threw that back up, she had suffered from bulimia when she was at school, she still was having trouble with it.

She felt a little uneasy, "So how are you and Serena?"

Blair asked Nate, he looked at her, "Not so good, she wants to get married in Paris and relocate there" and I just cannot get married in Paris, it doesn't seem right leaving New York after all I grew up here I have everything here you're here, so is Chuck and after all who knows what could happen and Gossip Girl would still follow us"

Blair sat there listening to Nates problems, she realised how important it was to have him in her life, and she smiled and said, "What have I done without you?" Nate chuckled and said, "Suffered miserably and me? I cannot live without my Blair Warldof one of the most influential people in all of New York you're the assistant to Jenny Humphrey, your mother is Eleanor Warldof, your best friend is Serena Van Der Woodsen, your fiancé is Charles Bass, your potential father in law could be Bartholomew Bass I'd say that's a pretty impressive set of friends you have BlairBear" she smiled at his nickname for her.

"Listen I'm dying to go out for I walk I love going for a walk through New York at night especially Central Park" Nate said beaming at Blair, she said, "Sure but I don't have a jacket or sweater to wear" Nate smiled and said, "Don't Worry I'll find one for you to wear" as he walked into his and Serena's bedroom.

Blair sat on the bed, she saw on Serena's side of the bed, a fresh packet of cigarettes, her engagement ring, a sleeping mask and the new issue of Cosmopolitan and a photo of Blair, Chuck, Serena and Nate. "It All Could Have Been Mine" Blair thought, she could have been the one marrying Nathanial Archibald, the son of Howie "Captain" Archibald.

Nate finally emerged from his and Serena's wardrobe, he was wearing a black coat, "Look what I found for you to wear" he said smiling at Blair, she looked at it and her eyes just suddenly lit up, "It's the green sweater I bought you that easter" she said softly touching it, Nate said, "Yeah I could never wear it when Serena was around, but when I do wear it I always think of you Blair"

Blair took it off Nate and put it on, it didn't fit, fitted loosely on her, Blair rolled up the sleeves then noticed her heart was still their, she looked at Nate and said, "My Heart is still here" he smiled and said, "Your always in my heart Blair Warldof" Blair felt so deeply touched, "So are we gonna end up going or what?" she joked. "Might as well" Nate said.
