"Louis, I have to go and see Chuck. He really has no one right now and he needs me." Blair explained to Louis what happened with the Bass-Thorpe, but she did not reveal the information that Chuck gave to her. She only needs to tell Louis something and not everything.

"Blair, you are not his girlfriend. After what happened between the two of you especially last night, I doubt if you would even count as friends. I know that you saw him earlier but I did not make a fuss out of it because I trust you. But let Chuck deal with this alone. You need not to be there."

"You are wrong Louis, I need to be there."

"Why? Why do you have to be there for him Blair?"

"Because he is Chuck Bass."

"Is that suppose to answer everything? Just like that, you would leave me and go back to him?"

"I am not breaking up with you. I am just telling you that Chuck needs me, I am his.." Blair did not continue what she would like to say. Instead, she went out and go to the police station so that she can bail Chuck out. She knows that Lily cannot come for him. And there is no other person who will come for Chuck.

"Chuck, how are you? Why didn't you call me? I would have come here right away."

"Blair you should not come here. I can take care of myself. Go home."

"Chuck, don't be silly. You cannot take care of yourself. I was just talking to you 4 hours ago and then you managed to punch Jack and get yourself into prison. I'll be here for you."

"There is no reason for you to do that. I already called my lawyer." Then, the police officer announced that Chuck is free to go. Chuck signed all the necessary documents and leave the police station without saying anything to Blair. He meant what he said to her, he won't drag her into the dark side with him. But Blair is following him. She even went up to his suite at the Empire. He went to bed, still not saying a word to her. He is scared that the next thing that he would say to her is to make her come back to him again. Of course, that is what he wants. But after everything that happened Blair needs to figure her feelings on her own. He was exhausted and fell asleep. Blair is looking at him from the hole of the broken glass on his bedroom. This suite used to be their sanctuary. She made him believed to invest on this one. She made him trust Evelyn again while they were kissing on the very same sofa. She would find herself sneaking in his bed whenever she feels down. Now, the place is just so empty. Even the Chuck Bass she loves is nowhere in sight.

Yes, Blair admitted to herself that she is still in love with Chuck Bass. She never stopped. But everything is just too much. She can counter every good memory with a bad one. She can feel both happiness and loneliness at the same time. She loves and hates him at the same time. But when she looks at him, she feels the love more than anything. She suddenly understands where all of his drama is coming from. She loves him that much but she chose to be happy with someone else. She left a note to Chuck: "Chuck, just call me if you need me. I am still family. –B"

When Chuck woke up, he saw the note. It was enough for him to show that she still cares. He remembered that this morning of being just Chuck Bass with no one, and nothing. And then, he made a mental note to himself that there is no other way but up. But this time, he will do this for himself. He will redeem even the tiniest of Chuck Bass that is still in him before all this fiasco. He will do this for the Chuck Bass that Blair loved. He owes that to himself. Weeks past and little by little he is setting up his own hotel, Charles' Place. He moved out of the Empire before he will be forced to. He settled for a suit in a small hotel. He works so much to make his new investment succeed. At night, he looks at a picture, his and Blair's taken from that summer that they officially became a couple. They were smiling so much in that picture. And then, he will hug the picture as if it is really Blair and that will calm him down to sleep. Sightings of Blair and Louis in Gossip Girl became less. The wedding date is still not set. Chuck would always attempt to call her but he would be convinced not to except for one time. He finally finalized everything that is involved in Charles Place, by instinct he wanted to call Blair first. When he instead reached voicemail, he left a message saying "Blair, Charles Place is complete. Finally, something of my own, our own. Forget I said that, I just got carried away. But I know you are happy. I will give my last breathe for you to have joy." Serena told him about that when she called him after he went out of jail almost a month ago. Everything is going well until Jack Bass and his game came around again.

"Hi there Chuck! I see you managed to have a new toy in such a short time."

"What do you want, Jack?"

"I have a proposal for you."

"Nothing I would consider."

"Really? Even if it means I can tell the Prince and the whole world about Blair's bulimia? You know that it would not be acceptable to the society and most of all, it is a mental illness. I think it is a very ground for the royal court of Monaco not to allow the wedding to push through. And then Blair will be sad and depressed and then she will relapse. You want that?"

"Jack."

"I want Charles Place and since you don't want Bart's BI and the Empire, I can have it all. I'll leave you with your trust fund and all the monthly allowance you are allowed. It is a good thing you settled for this shit of a suite."

"For Blair."

Blair will always play that voice message from Chuck. She tried to call him back but he won't answer. It has been one month and she knows that it is not easy for him. She is glad though that he got Charles Place. That is when she received a Gossip Girl blast again

Gossip Girl here. Jack Bass asked me to announce to you, UpperEastSiders, that Charles Place was signed to him just this morning. C, why did you do that? Who or what are you protecting this time? You have nothing and no one remember? You know you love me xoxo Gossip Girl
