Love me Fully Chapter 2: Meltdown in Manhattan
Author's note: I wanted to thank everyone for the review. I am taking some artistic license with Serena. On the show, we often get vulnerable Blair. So, this is my version of vulnerable Serena.
"Dan! You have a visitor," said Rufus.
"I'm coming. Who is it?"
"I have no idea"
Dan came out of his room with a pencil in his ear. He looked over at Blair in shock.
"Blair? What are you doing here?"
"We need to talk," she said before removing a pair of suede gloves from her dainty fingers.
"Really? About what exactly?"
"Serena."
"My room is over here," Dan said.
Blair followed him into the small room that functioned as his haven. She looked around and tried to hide the look of disgust on her face.
"So, talk" Dan said.
"I'm worried about her. She is doing this weird melancholy thing that is not like her."
"Well, you would know."
"Do you have any idea what's wrong with her?"
"It's not really my place to tell you. If she wanted to tell you, she would have. I don't want to betray her trust."
Blair grabbed him by the collar of his short and slammed him against the wall, "My best friend is in pain and you know why. Now tell me before I really hurt you."
Dan grabbed her by her wrists and said, "First no one shoves me and especially not in my own house. Second, I'm not going to tell you. I suggest you stop with your bizarre competition with Serena and actually speak to her."
Blair looked at him with more than mild annoyance.
"I can't believe I came to Brooklyn for this, ugh."
Dan watched her walk away and ran his hand through his hair.
Serena was sprawled on the couch when someone started knocking very loudly. She got up and answered the door and found a very angry Blair standing before her.
"So, you confide in cabbage patch and not me?" roared Blair.
"What are you talking about?" Serena replied.
"I heard about your little tear fest in the middle of the street."
Serena rolled her eyes, "Gossip Girl."
"The one and only," muttered Blair.
"It was nothing really."
"Do I look vapid?"
"That's my territory, remember."
Blair eyed her friend curiously. Something was going on with her. Serena was never one for self-pity especially in front of her. Blair didn't like to think much about why Serena had left, but apparently she had changed a lot more than her bad drinking habit. She let her very expensive bag drop to the floor and enveloped Serena in a very uncharacteristic hug. Serena held on to Blair tightly before recovering her poise.
"Things have been a little strange lately."
"Yeah, but we're fine now," replied Blair.
"I wasn't talking about us."
"So, spill."
"Don't worry. Its nothing I can't handle."
Blair didn't understand what was going on with her friend, but she hated that she was unwilling to come to her for comfort. She knew that despite everything that Serena would drop everything to be by her side when things got rough.
