Chapter 1
Too Late
The Jet took off and Blair spared New York a last look before sinking into her seat and closing her eyes. She was going to miss New York, the familiarity of the roads, the smell, the sun and her house. But she couldn't wait to start over a new life, even if it's only for one semester.
Serena called a cab and rushed to the airport. She was hoping that she wasn't late. The last thing she wanted was for her best friend to leave New York. She couldn't make the same mistake she did. The taxi arrived at the airport and she rushed out, but couldn't see Blair's Jet anywhere.
She frantically searched through the crowd for the familiar face of her best friend. She was out of luck. Blair had left New York. Her worst nightmares were coming true. Serena collapsed at the nearest chair and tried to breathe. What was she going to do now? Blair was gone. The first two people that came to mind were Chuck and Nate. They were the reason that Blair left.
She brought out her phone and wrote a quick message to both of them to meet at her place in ten minutes. URGENT!!! Meet me in ten.
Nate and Chuck arrived at Serena's place curious to see what could be so urgent during this time of the day. Nate stared into space trying not to look at the person who had slept with his girlfriend, well ex-girlfriend, before he did. Even thought they were technically broken up it didn't make it okay for his former best friend who was his best friend at the time to sleep with Blair. A feeling of betrayal and anger rose in his throat. His hand tickled and he wanted to badly to punch Chuck.
Luckily Serena burst through her house just in time to stop Nate from doing anything rough. Serena had mascara running down her face and her eyes were red like she had been crying a lot.
"So what was the urgent thing you needed to talk to us about at 3am in the morning?" Nate said looking down at his watch. Serena didn't reply at first, little sobs were building up in her throat and she bit on her bottom lip. The two men waited for her to say something.
"Blair…she's…gone," she managed to stutter out.
"What do you mean she's gone?" Nate asked.
"S-she flew off to France," her voice was a little clearer now.
Nate felt a stabbing pain in his chest. Blair had gone to France? He felt guilty and knew he held responsibility. He was shocked, this was Blair Waldorf they were talking about, a girl who was Queen of the school, whose grades were perfect.
Chuck didn't want to believe it was true, it couldn't be. Blair Waldorf a girl who no one could take down had gone to France? Run away? Like Serena did? Why should he care anyway? He didn't love Blair anymore.
Hey Upper East Siders,
A certain brunette was seen boarding a jet to France, are we up to S's tricks now are we B?
