So, I decided to start a new story. I know I have 'A wild guess' to update, but I felt like I couldn't stop from writing this. This is gonna be a multi-chap involving Chair and some Nate. It's gonna be quite dark, but probably not as dark as you might think after reading this chapter.
Anyway, enjoy!
Chuck was attending a board meeting regarding the opening of Charles Place. He knew the thing was very important and the way he acted could affect his whole future. Yet he couldn't bring himself to concentrate, his thoughts always slipping to the love of his life, Blair Waldorf. Three days ago all the newspapers cried out about a broken engagement in Monaco. Why would Blair call off her engagement? Why wouldn't she answer his calls? Why would she come back to NY? Why would Serena call him and ask to come for a dinner, telling him it was really important as Blair would be there too? All those questions wouldn't let him seriously think about business, and, on top of all, he felt unusually uneasy, worried and nervous. He couldn't really figure out why, but he had a strong feeling something was wrong. Right the moment some very-important-businessmen tried to get his attention his phone rang. It was obviously completely prohibited to interrupter a meeting for a phone call, yet Chuck casted a quick glance on the screen to check the caller's name. Nate. A wave of pure horror hit him as he started at the screen. Something did happen, otherwise Nate wouldn't be calling. He knew exactly how busy Chuck was. With a heavy heart Chuck quickly stood up, excusing himself, and pressed the "answer" button.
"Nathaniel?" he asked anxiously, making his way through the conference hall.
"Chuck.." a broken voice whispered, and then Chuck heard something that made his heart sink. He heard a sob.
"Nathaniel?" he cried in horror, refusing to imagine what drove his best friend into that state.
"Nate" he called out softly as the wheezing and sobbing on the other end continued.
"Nate, tell me what's wrong, please. You can tell me anything, Nate, please!" Chuck begged.
"Chuck.. It's" Nate tried to brace himself, but failed as Chuck heard another sob. And then the line went dead.
Chuck was scared to death, fear raising in him as nausea. He quickly reentered the hall.
"Sirs, I am very sorry, there is an emergency and I have to go" he blurted out, took his case and went away before anyone could object.
He was sprinting through the corridors of Bass Industries' building, trying hard to think of something to do when his phone beeped. This time it was a message from Nate. It said only two words but they made chuck's stomach revolt. It was an address he recognized immediately, the address of the hospital where his father had died. So someone was in the hospital. Someone, obviously very close close to Nate and probably familiar to Chuck. Before he could bring himself to thinking of people who might be hurt he heard the same beeping sound and saw a second text from Nate. It, just as the first one, contained two words. It said: "ward 001". The two words made Chuck shiver. Ward 001 belonged to the resuscitation department. It meant that someone was very hurt. As he reached the limo and rapidly got in, spitting the address, he started thinking of the people that could be there. People, who could affect Nate so much. His parents, Serena, possibly Vanessa or Jenny, and... Chuck could not bare naming Blair on the list. That was impossible, Blair could not be hurt, he kept thinking as he anxiously dialed her number. Her phone was dead. Chuck quickly blocked the sickening though from his mind, dialing Serena. The same. Lily. No response. Dan. No response. Eleanor, Cyrus, Rufus. Nothing. Then he realized he could just call the hospital and ask.
"Good morning, New York Medical Center, my name is Alison" a woman on the other end greeted him politely.
"Alison, could you tell me who is currently staying in ward 001, please?" Chuck asked, his heart racing as it probably had never raced before.
"I'm sorry, but that is personal information. Do you believe you might be close to the patient from ward 001?" the woman continued in her polite, yet somewhat indifferent tone.
"Yes, well, probably" Chuck breathed out, pressing a hand against his chest in an attempt to calm himself down.
"Than what is your name so I can check you on the list of the closest friends and family?" the woman sounded more friendly now, probably noticing Chuck's trembling voice and uneven breathing.
"Charles Bartholomew Bass" he answered immediately, taking a deep breath and closing his eyes.
"Let me see.." she muttered. "Oh, yes, you are.." she said finally.
"So?" he nearly cried.
"It's Blair Cornelia Waldorf" the woman said calmly. Blair. He felt blood freezing in his veins as horror hit him.
"Wha..What happened to her? How is she? Is she..?" his voice broke as he couldn't catch his breath, gasping for air.
"She got into a car accident. She is in a critical condition, but she is now taken care of and the doctors are doing everything to save her" the woman stated. "You can get further information from her doctor if you wish to"
"Thank you" he muttered, hanging up.
He rushed through far too familiar hospital corridors, telling himself she would be fine. She was Blair Waldorf after all, she couldn't die in a car accident, she was too perfect for that. He needed her too much, she couldn't leave him like that. No, it was ridiculous and impossible. He repeated thar as a mantra, running as fast as he could. Finally he reached the ward door. In front of the door was a bench. He immediately spotted Lily there, hugging Nate with one arm and Eric with another, Rufus by their side on the floor. To their right Eleanor and Cyrus were sitting, discussing something in a whisper. Lily's eyes where red and so where Nate's and Eric's.
"What...what happened? How is she?" he asked in a tremulous voice, dreading to hear the answer.
"She's dead, dude" Nate said in a strange, agonized voice, looking up for a second.
The moment Chuck heard the words was the moment his world ended. There was nothing left in his world without her. Only emptiness and loneliness. Everything went dark before his eyes and he fell down unconscious.
So, that's it! What do you think? Reviews would be highly appreciated!)
Love you all :*
