Gossip girl

Nate stood in the door, viewing his room. He had stood there for a few minutes. He just stood still and put all his attention to the blond girl that lying in his bed. She's been in his bed for two days now. Since she fainted yesterday, Serena had a high fever again. Nate called the doctor to check on Serena. Nate doesn't let Serena alone in her house when her family wasn't there. So Nate forced Serena to stay there. At least, he can take care of Serena if she stayed there with him. Serena has no choice than to comply with Nate because she was still too weak to argue with Nate.

And Nate always did a great job of taking care of Serena. He was used to it. He was used to take care of Serena since they were still little. Although their relationship are in a weird stage right now but Nate still care about Serena. Serena also knows that Nate care about her. And they're not talking about Nate's new girlfriend anymore.

When he heard the elevator ding, Nate turned his head.

" Chuck?" Chuck walked in, with Eva following close behind.

Chuck looked at Nate. " What? You know I'll be back." Chuck said when he saw the surprised expression in Nate's face. Then, he followed Nate's gaze at Eva. Chuck took a glance at Eva. " I asked Eva to introduce New York to her." Chuck explained it too.

" Nice to see you again, Eva." Nate said to Eva.

Eva smiled. " You too, Nate." Eva said back to Nate.

Nate closed the door and walked over to Chuck. " You should have arrived here yesterday." Nate said to Chuck.

Chuck sighed. " There's something I have to do before." Chuck said with a blank expression.

" Like seeing Blair?" Nate said. He gave Chuck a glare.

Chuck looked at Nate. " How do you know?" Then, he thought of it. Chuck sighed. " Blair tells Serena. And Serena told you." He answered for himself. Chuck knows them too well, can't save this kind of thing for too long. Especially among the girls. " Where is Serena now?" Chuck asked.

Nate pointed toward his room. " In my room."

Chuck rolled his eyes. " Already?" Chuck smirked at Nate. " Who am I kidding? You and Serena. You two are always about sex."

Nate scoffed. " It's not like that. She got a fever. I can't just let her stay home by herself. Lily and Rufus are in Hamptons for the summer. Eric is in Long Island."

Chuck's face changed straight again. Nate can see concern in Chuck's eyes. Something that he's not saw everyday. Even he rarely saw that." Is she okay?" Chuck asked.

" She's fine. I've called the doctor to check on Serena. The doctor said she's fine. Just a cold. She just needed some rest." Nate explains. Nate looked at Chuck with a serious expression. " Blair returned from Paris today. She'll come over here to pick up Serena."

Chuck looked at Nate. " Blair will come here?"

Nate nodded. " She called me a few minutes ago. She has landed. She'll be here anytime."

" I should be going then. Blair didn't want to see me. I don't want to make her unhappy." Chuck took a glance at Eva. " I'll take Eva to her room."

Chuck was about to press the elevator button when the elevator door suddenly opened. Blair Waldorf was standing inside the elevator. Her eyes fix on Chuck, then Eva. She looked at Eva a little longer. However she was intrigued by Eva's presence. She wanted to know who she is. Then she looked at Nate. " Thanks for the head's up, Nate. You say he's not here." Blair said, pointing at Chuck.

" I don't know. He had just come back." Nate said, defensively.

" I'm going to go." Chuck said.

Blair looked at Chuck. " No need. I will take Serena and leave this place."

" Blair." Chuck tried to say something.

Blair raised his hand to Chuck. " Don't talk to me!" Then she looked at Nate. " Where is she?"

Nate pointed toward his room. Blair immediately stepped into Nate's room. Nate looked at Chuck and patted his shoulder. Then he turned and followed Blair.

Blair saw Serena who is lying in Nate's bed. Her face looked pale. Blair went to Serena and sit beside her. Slowly she stroked her friend's cheek, until Serena's eyes open.

" Blair."

Blair smiled at her. " I'm back, S. Lets go home. I will take care of you."

Nate walked over to Blair. He has reached out to help Serena. " Let me help."

Blair glared at Nate. " We don't need your help. Any of your help." Nate knew she was indicated to Chuck.

Nate looked at Blair. " Blair, I'm not Chuck. Let me help you two." Nate said.

" You're Serena's Chuck." Blair said.

Nate took a glance at Serena. Serena also looked at him. Then Serena turned to Blair. " Don't be rude, B. He's just trying to help." Serena said to Blair.

Blair stared at Serena now. " After what he had done? You still want his help?" Blair asked Serena.

" B." Serena whispered. She looked at Nate again, and smiled a little. " It's okay, Nate. I'm fine." Serena got out of bed. " Thank you for taking care of me." Serena said with a smile. Nate just nodded a little.

" We're out of here. And hopefully don't have to come back here." Blair added.

Blair took Serena's bag. Serena walked out of the room. Blair trailed behind. Chuck and Eva still stood in front of the elevator, when they got out from Nate's room. Serena looked at Chuck. " Chuck, you back?"

Chuck nodded slowly. " How are you doing, sis?"

" Just a fever. I'm fine." Serena answered. " My mom will be back next week. I haven't told her about what happened to you."

" I get it. I will tell her myself." Chuck said.

" Good." Serena took a glance at Blair, who just stood there, trying not to look at Chuck. But Chuck kept looking at Blair. Even while talking with Serena, his eyes just looked at Blair. But Blair keeps ignoring Chuck.

" Are you done? We should go, S." Blair said, uncomfortable. Serena nodded. She took time to turn her head and looked at Nate before she followed Blair and stepped into the elevator. Nate is also looked at her. They just looked at each other in silence until the elevator door closed.

Chuck sigh as he saw the elevator door close. " She may never forgive me."

Eva approached him and put her hand in Chuck's shoulder. Chuck looked at Eva and smiled. Nate suddenly felt very uncomfortable stood in the room when he looked at Chuck and Eva. So he went back into his room. He saw Serena's cell phone left out on his bedside table. He picked it up and come out of his room.

" Serena forget her phone." Nate said.

Chuck looked at Nate. " I think Blair still doesn't want to see me after a few seconds ago." Chuck said, sarcastically.

" This is awkward between me and Serena." Nate said.

Chuck rolled his eyes. " You two just spent two days together."

" An awkward two days." Nate added. Chuck sighed.

" I can bring it back to her." Eva suddenly said. Nate and Chuck quickly looked at Eva.

" You don't mind?" Nate asked.

" Of course not. I will catch up with them." Eva took the cell phone from Nate's hand, and immediately stepping into the elevator. Eva managed to catch up with Serena and Blair at the hotel lobby. " Serena!"

Serena and Blair stopped and turned around to see Eva running toward them. " Eva."

She handed out the cell phone to Serena. " You forget your phone." Eva said to Serena.

Serena took the phone from Eva's hand. " Thank you." Eva smiled to her. Serena took a glance at Blair. Serena didn't know whether to introduce them both. But she finally decided to introduce them. " Blair, this is Eva. She –"

Blair only glanced at Eva with an attitude. " I don't care who she is. I've no desire to know Chuck's new girlfriend." Blair was about to walk away when Eva opened her mouth.

" I know who you are, Blair Waldorf." Blair turned back and looked at Eva. " Chuck told me about you. I'm not a Chuck's girlfriend. We're just friends. He still loves you, Blair. Give him another chance. He was very sorry for what he has done to you."

Blair took one step closer to Eva. Her face doesn't look friendly. " I don't know who you are. I don't have any more business with Chuck. And even we have, this is between me and Chuck, it had nothing to do with you. Stay out of it." Blair snapped at her. Eva stood silently, not saying anything.

Blair turned to Serena. " Lets go, S." Blair grabbed Serena's hand and pulled her out of the apartment, leaving Eva that still stood there. Serena gave Eva her apologetic smile before Blair forced her to get into the car. Eva just stood there a while before took the elevator. Nate is in his way out when Eva get back to the suite.

" I already give the cell phone back to Serena." Eva said to Nate.

" Thank you so much, Eva." Nate said. " Okay, I'll see you guys later. I almost late for Lacrosse practice." Nate stepped into the elevator.

After Nate left the suite, Eva looked at Chuck. " I don't know why you liked a girl like that. But I'll help you get her back."

" What she said to you?" Chuck asked.

" She's rude." Eva said.

Chuck chuckled when he remembered Blair. " She's not rude. She's Blair Waldorf. That's why I love her." Chuck said.

" She will eat you alive." Eva said.

Chuck smiled. " She already ate me alive."

Eva shook her head. " I don't get the upper east side way. But I have my own way to make her back to you. I can see that she still cared a lot about you." Chuck looked at Eva. " She acted like she didn't care. Yet I could feel her concern in every harsh word she said. She also still loves you, Chuck. Me as the goddess of love will help you, this couple."

Chuck laughed as he hold Eva's hand. " Come on. I take you to your room." Eva smiled and followed Chuck.


Once Nate parked in campus parking lot, he immediately headed to the field. He met his teammates on the way to the field.

" What did you do yesterday, Archibald? You don't come to practice."

" I had some things yesterday." Nate replied.

" It has to do with the return of Serena Van Der Woodsen?"

Nate looked at his friend with a puzzled look. " How do you know?"

" Gossip girl." His friend answered it short.

" Of course." Nate commented. The whole team is familiar with Serena, because Serena is used to watch him play before they broke up. And they all thought Nate was very lucky. Even he thinks that too. Nate hasn't told them that his relationship with Serena has ended.

As they passed the library, Nate saw Juliet coming out from the library. " I'll catch up with you." Nate said to his friend.

" We're almost late."

" It's okay. I will be there on time." Nate said then he ran to Juliet. He stopped right in front of Juliet.

" Nate." Juliet's face looked surprised to see him. Nate smiled at her.

" Long time no see." Nate said.

" Yeah." Juliet simply said.

" Can we talk?" Nate asked.

Juliet even smiled at him. " We never talk, Nate." Juliet said.

Nate was also smiling. " I want to talk now. Well, not now. I have lacrosse practice first." Nate said, looking at his watch.

Juliet opened the book in her hand. She wrote something in there, ripping the paper and handed it to Nate. Nate read what she wrote. An address. " This is where I live." Juliet She smiled seductively at Nate before giving a light kiss on his cheek, and walked away.


Blair ordered Serena to stay in bed. She didn't even allow Serena to take water downstairs. She ordered the maid who is a temporary replacement of Dorota, to get it for Serena.

" This is too much, Blair." Serena commented.

" You fainted. Don't you think that's too much?" Blair said to Serena.

Serena leaned back in the bed. " Not like I wanted to, Blair."

Blair ignores Serena. " And you still thank Nate for taking care of you?" Blair sat next to Serena. " It is his job to take care of you. It all happened because of him."

" Blair."

" You didn't tell him the reason you fainted, aren't you?" Blair confronted Serena. Serena just silence. " Why didn't you tell him?" Blair looked at Serena. " Tell him that he makes you depressed. You can't even enjoy a vacation in Paris because you're always thinking of him. You can't eat and sleep. Of course you're going to faint. You're not a robot. You should tell him that. That you also want to back together with him."

Serena sat up in bed. " He already seeing someone else, B."

Blair looked Serena in the eyes. " You're Serena and Nate. That girl, whatever she is, will never be comparable to you. You know Nate loves you. He will always love you."

" I hurt him. So deeply." Serena said.

" He hurt you too when he gave up on you." Blair said.

" I kept hurting him, Blair. There's no surprise that he ran out of patience to face me." Serena sighed. " Now he's seeing someone else. I shouldn't bother him anymore."

Blair shook her head. " Whatever you want, S. Just don't you regret it." Blair said before she stepped out of the room, making Serena to think about it.


Nate immediately went to Juliet's apartment when he finished his lacrosse practice. Juliet opened the door herself for Nate. She stepped aside to let Nate in, without saying anything. Then, she closed the door.

Nate immediately sat on the sofa while Juliet fetched a glass of water for Nate. " Serena wanted to meet you." Nate said.

Juliet turned to look at Nate with a glass in her hand. She walked up to Nate, sitting beside him, handing him the glass to Nate. " Why she want to see me?" Juliet asked.

Nate put the glass on the coffee table, and looked at Juliet. " Because I told her that I'm seeing you right now."

Juliet giggled. " We hardly seeing each other, Nate. We're not even dating." Juliet said.

Nate sighed. He leaned back on the couch. " I told her that we are." Nate quietly said.

Juliet shifted closer to Nate. " You say that because you like going out with me, or do you just want to make Serena jealous?" Juliet asked.

Nate rubbed his head. " I don't know why I tell her that. She hurt me. I just want her to know if I've moved on. I never intended to hurt her. And I never intend to use you. I'm sorry."

Juliet lifted his hand and put it on Nate's neck, forcing him to look at him. " She hurt very deeply you, didn't she?" Juliet asked. Nate smiled. But Juliet can see the hurt in his smile. " I know we have a deal just meaningless sex. But I am a good listener." Juliet said.

" I loved her." Nate simply said. Nate sighed again. " I've loved her since I was little. After all this time, finally I can have her. Finally, she could have the same feelings like I am. But it is only in my dreams. Still, I could never have her completely."

Juliet buried her fingers in Nate's hair " She's been hurt you very deeply, why you can't stop loving her?"

Nate scoffed. " I've tried. I've tried so many times. Since I was little. To stopped loving her. But I never could. She always has my heart."

Juliet moved her hand and stroked Nate's cheek. " I can help you." Nate looked at her confusedly. " I can help you get her back, if that's what you want."

Nate just looked at her, didn't give an answer. " I don't know what I want." Finally Nate said.

Juliet pulled her hand away from Nate, and looked Nate in the eyes. " You can't stop loving her. I don't see you have another option here, Nate."

Nate looked at Juliet. " You think I should try to get her back?" Nate asked.

" Only your heart knows the answer, Nate."

Nate shook his head. " I don't know."

Juliet sighed. But suddenly she smiled. " Then, let's play a game."

" A game?" Nate asked.

" A fun game. You, me, and Serena will be the players." Juliet said.

" What are you planning?" Nate asked.

" You just need to follow my instructions." Juliet said. Nate stared at Juliet. " It will be fun. Until you know what you want." Nate finally nodded.

" It's settled, then." Juliet smiled. Juliet shifts sitting on Nate's lap. Nate just looked at her in silence. " First of all, we started dating." She leaned her face on Nate and gently kissed his lips. " The benefits of our relationship is that we didn't have to pretend dating. We can still enjoy our relationship." Juliet kissed Nate again. Nate smiled and kissed Juliet back.
