Blair felt as if she had just been shot right in the stomach

Blair felt as if she had just been shot right in the stomach. She stood completely frozen as Rebecca leaned in and kissed Chuck on the lips, he responded awkwardly not looking at Blair.

"What are you doing here?" Chuck asked turning to his wife.

"I know you told me not to come but I wanted to surprise you so I jumped on a late flight. I wanted to come meet my in-laws and your friends…" Rebecca said beaming at Nate and Blair but the stern look on Blair's face caused her joy to quickly evaporate, "I'm sorry, are you mad?"

There was an awkward silence before Chuck said "No of course not just…surprised."

"Well then I achieved my goal." Rebecca said smiling once again and linking her arm with Chuck's.

"Chuck I cannot believe you're married? How could you not tell us man!" Nate said smacking Chuck on the arm.

"It wasn't a big deal, it was one of those last minute spur of the moment things." Chuck said still avoiding Blair's gaze.

"But I never got to throw you a bachelor party!" Nate protested.

"Neither did I for you." Chuck replied.

"Well I invited you but you never came." Nate said frowning.

"Well I'm sure you boys can organise a belated joint strip club outing soon." Rebecca chimed in. "Not that you need an excuse." She said stroking Chuck's arm gently, causing Blair's skin to crawl.

"So how long have you guys been together?" Nate asked.

"Well we've been married just a little over six weeks, but we've been together for around three months." Rebecca said.

"Wow that's pretty fast." He responded.

"I know it's a little crazy but when you find the right person you just gotta go for it, cause you might loose them." Rebecca said beaming at her husband.

Blair couldn't take it another minute, she felt as though she was going to die.

"Seriously Chuck that's awesome. I never thought I'd see the day, what's next man a house in the suburbs and a Volvo?" Nate chuckled.

"Easy Archibald I may be married but I'm not void of style or class." Chuck retorted.

"Fair enough." Nate turned to Blair, "Baby are you ok? You're a little quiet."

Blair looked up at Chuck and they locked eyes for the first time. "Yeah I err…need some fresh air."

"What's wrong?" Nate asked.

"I just suddenly feel sick." She said nastily in Chuck's direction.

Without another word she turned and sped away. she could hear Nate calling her but she couldn't look back, if she looked at Chuck her heart would break all over again. Chuck and his wife. His wife. Blair's mind was racing, how could he not tell her he was married? She felt so foolish now pouring her heart out to him and the whole time he was married. She was preparing to give up her future to be with him, was it all a lie? Payback for her hurting him all those years before? Blair didn't know. And she had slept with him. She felt so cheap, like some whore. She ran out of the ballroom and into the hotel lobby over to the concierge desk.

"Can you get my car please, its for Waldorf." She said hurriedly. She had to get out of there now before she saw either of them again.

"B!" she heard a voice call from behind her.

Blair turned and saw Dan and Serena sprinting towards her across the lobby.

"Blair what's going on, are you ok?" Serena said looking at her friend worriedly.

"I don't feel well I'm just going to go home, must have had too much champagne." Blair lied.

But Serena was not convinced. "Dan could you go get our coats I think I wanna go as well."

Dan nodded, "Sure, see you tomorrow for the big day Waldorf."

"Bye."

Serena turned back to Blair, "Ok tell me the truth."

"Honestly I just feel ill, must be last minute nerves." Blair said.

"Maybe, butterflies." Serena said.

"Don't say that word." Blair replied through gritted teeth but Serena simply stared at her in confusion.

"Miss your cars here." the valet said behind Blair.

"Look I got to go." Blair said grabbing her coat.

"Ok well I'll be by early tomorrow, sleep well and call me if you need anything ok sweetie?" Serena said hugging her friend, still worried.

Blair smiled and waved. A moment later she was in the back of her limo and alone. She took a deep breath and finally the tears came. She cried and cried but she couldn't get the image of Chuck and Rebecca out of her head. Once she was back at her penthouse she wasted no time in fixing herself a large vodka. And then another. And another. After the fourth drink she didn't feel better but she did feel numb. Numb to everything. Her Chanel clutch purse vibrated along the kitchen counter, she flipped it open and grabbed her cell phone. She didn't recognise the number but she knew who it was, it wasn't unimaginable that Chuck changed his number since he left.

"I need to see you." He said in a whisper on the other end.

Blair took another large swig of her drink, "I'm afraid I'm not in the mood for entertaining tonight Bass, but here's an idea why don't you talk to your wife."

"Blair please, you have to let me explain."

"No Chuck I don't have to let you do anything!" Blair yelled.

"What about us?" He persisted.

"There is no us Chuck, there's you and your wife and there's me and Nate!" Blair stood up and began pacing the floor vodka in hand, "I must have had some kind of seizure tonight I don't know what I was thinking!"

"For Christ's sake will stop overreacting!"

"Overreacting? You never told me you were married Chuck! Married, do you get that?"

"Don't lecture me on the sanctity of magic Waldorf you're the one who just cheated on your fiancé in some back alley the day before your wedding!" Chuck snarled down the phone.

"How dare you! You took advantage, I was vulnerable pouring my heart out to you and you never once thought it might be important to mention you have a wife?"

"You never asked." Chucks said simply.

"Oh don't try and pin this on me! You used me Chuck." Blair said as tears began to form in her eyes.

"Blair I didn't use you, I meant everything I said…I love you…please," he begged. "Let me come up."

Blair rushed towards her window and looked down at the sidewalk, it was late but she could see his silhouette down below. Chuck looked up at her through the lit window.

"Please." He continued.

Blair stared at him, "See you tomorrow Bass, you won't miss me I'll be the one in the white dress."

Blair ended the call before he had time to respond and walked away from the window. She slumped against the wall and slid weakly to the floor, the tears falling silently down her cheeks. She paused for a moment before throwing her phone and glass against the wall opposite her.
