Immediately she softened hearing his voice. No, she thought, I have to stay strong. She forced her fingers to head toward the end call button.
"WAIT! Blair, I know you're about to hang up but please just listen to my side of the story." Chuck begged. Blair paused. She'd never heard him beg before.
"Fine. You have five minutes, Bass." she spoke using her coldest 'ice princess' voice. He audibly sighed, thankful for this.
"Blair, you know I love you. I only slept with Je-"
"DON'T YOU DARE SAY HER NAME! I am being kind enough to hear you out and THIS is how you repay me? Goodbye Chuck. For good."
"IONLYDIDITBECAUSEITHOUGHTYOUDNEVERLOVEME!" Chuck spoke so fast and so loud Blair could barely understand him. But his point still got across. So she stayed on the line. Chuck, not hearing the dial tone, continued. "I thought you'd never love me again. I thought we were actually done this time. And I couldn't handle that pain, so I did whatever I could to get it off my mind. Got stoned, got drunk. By the time she showed up, I was so close to being numb, that I would do whatever to get the last of the pain away. You know I could never love her. You know I could never love anyone except you." Blair wished she could believe him so bad. He sounded completely genuine, and she wanted so bad to forgive him, but the heartbreak she just went through…
She took a deep breath. "Charles Bartholomew Bass…" she paused not knowing where she was going with this. She decided to just speak, and not think about it. "Why would you think I could never love you again?! Even now, I still love you. It's taking ALL of my willpower to not come over to you. To tell you it's all okay. To tell you that we're forever and always. But I can't, and I won't. This heartbreak is even worse than when I found out Nate cheated on me with Serena. This heartbreak… It's the worst thing I've ever felt!" At this point, she was full on crying, and she knew Chuck could hear. But she didn't even care. That bass-tard deserves to feel guilty.
"Blair…" Blair could hear the emotion in Chuck's voice. "I… I'm sorry. Just please try to forgive me. I'll do anything."
"I don't know if I can handle being in the same room as you right now, much less forgiving you, Bass."
"Well, Waldorf, that might be a problem." As soon as he finished that sentence, the elevator chimed, letting her know she had visitors. She ran out into the hallway, and sure enough, holding flowers, macaroons, and every Audrey Hepburn movie, was Chuck. Shoot, she thought and felt all of her willpower drain.
