Chapter 2, Saying Good-bye
She knew this day would come, the day Chuck would coming looking for her, but she didn't think it would take him three years. Well, he found me, she thought. She couldn't go back there, not now, it's been too long for her to just come back, as though nothing had happened, and she was too embarrassed to tell them what happened after she left. Blair hugged herself around her waist to try and hold herself together as the memory came flooding back before she could stop it.
Blair was all set and packed and admiring her gold ring when Chuck walked into her penthouse. "Leaving without saying good-bye?" Chuck asked shocking Blair, she didn't hear him come in.
"What are you doing here Chuck?" She returned with a snap, she didn't want to be so mean, but this way if he hated her it would be easier to leave.
"Don't be like that Blair," Chuck whispered. "You know why I'm here, please don't do this, don't leave with him Blair."
Blair looked away from Chuck and returned her attention to the ring, it wasn't the most beautiful ring she had ever seen but she would settle for it. Chuck and her were history, he made that clear last night. So then why did he have to come here now? She was finally ready to leave and now he had her second guessing herself.
"You made it very clear last night Chuck that you didn't want anything more to do with me, so please, stick to your word and let me be."
"No. I didn't mean what I said last night, you know me better than that Blair, and I know you didn't believe me, I only said those things because I thought it was the right thing to do, I want you to be happy Blair-"
"Then let me leave!" Blair cut him off. "You've hurt me too many times Chuck and I'm not going to get sucked in to your games again just to get hurt. You had your chance and you lost me. Games over Chuck. I give up."
"It's not a game anymore Blair, and it hasn't been for a long time. You don't love him Blair, he doesn't deserve you."
"Oh and what? You do? You do not deserve me Chuck. I learnt that the night you sold me to Jack. I loved you Chuck and you broke my heart. Now please, let me leave."
The elevator dinged as the doors opened and Prince Louis came out, "Ready Blair?"
"Coming Louis!" Blair answered and she went to walk past Chuck but he put his arm out to stop her.
"Please Blair, I'm begging you, don't go with him."
"Let me go Chuck. Or give me one good reason why I shouldn't leave here tonight and never come back." She raised her eye brows, she knew he didn't have the guts to say what she wanted to hear.
"I love you." He said it so simply, like it was obvious to everyone. Blair was shocked she didn't think he would say it.
"Well that's too bad." She pushed past his arm and wiped the tears away as she went to the elevator to meet Louis.
"I love you Blair. Always have, always will," Chuck's voice pleaded with her as he chased her to the elevator, Louis stood uncomfortably next to his fiancé, feeling like the third wheel in some sick love triangle.
The elevator doors started to close and Chuck looked into Blair's eyes, he almost had her, she was going to come out of the elevator and wrap her arms around him and he would never let go, never again would he let her go. But it was getting too late and Chuck began to lose hope.
"Good bye Chuck," Blair said as the doors closed on him.
Chuck Stood there heart broken, he finally lost her, he did everything he thought would win her, but it didn't work, he was no match to a Prince and Blair had always wanted to be a Princess. He made his way to her room and sat down on her bed. It felt eerie, all the clothes and shoes were gone from her wardrobe and her dresser near her mirror was empty. He lay down and he let the tears come, he was glad no one was here to see him like this, slowly he fell asleep and dreamt happy dreams of him and Blair.
