"Blair, Blair, are you okay?" Louis ask her a few times.
"Yes, yes I'm fine. Uhh Can you repeat the question one more time?"
The priest look at Blair's face with confused eyes. He look at Louis and he nodded. He sigh and continue
"Blair Cornelia Waldorf, do you take Louis Albert Jean-Michel Grimaldi to be your husband, to have and to hold from this day forward, for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish as long as we both shall live?"
She looks around and look at Louis. She can feel a cold sweat coming from his hands. She takes a deep breath. This time she know that she is making the right choice.
"I….I can't do this Louis," she slowly let go of Louis's hand. Louis stunned and his body was shaking.
The crowd gasp. Cameras are flashing faster than ever.
"Blair, what are you talking about? Are you nervous? Maybe you need water or something," Louis call his assistant behind him.
"No, no. I'm alright. Louis, listen to me. I can't marry you," she said it to him, half whispered so that no one can hear them.
"What? Blair, are you joking? We have been planning this for months and you have been so excited about this and you choose today to say that you don't want to marry me?" Louis was clearly frustrated by Blair's confession.
"I know and I'm sorry but…,"
"Its because of him, its because of Chuck?" Louis interrupts. As usual no matter what happen, he will always blame Chuck.
"Of course not, this have nothing to do with Chuck Bass. This was all about me. Louis, I want a fairytale ever since I was 9 and since that I work hard to find it and suddenly you come in the picture and...and it was like magical, my fairytale is coming true,"
"So what is the problem here, Blair?" he ask confused.
"Uhh the problem was it is only my childhood dream. Fairytale is the thing that I always want and I thought it will make me happy but…,"
"But you're not happy,"
"I am happy with you Louis but all these, it didn't belong to me. Since this morning I feel something is not right, like I was not supposed to be here, like I don't belong in this , I want a fairytale and a great love so much when all these while all I need was the right love," she takes out the engagement ring and hand it over to Louis.
"I'm so sorry, you deserve someone better than me," she kiss Louis on his cheek and bid him goodbye. Then she run towards her parents and apologize for what she have did. Many people gather around them to found out what have happen but Blair didn't say a word. The words that comes out from her mouth was just "I'm sorry," People around her keep pestering to tell her what's wrong but all they heard was the sound of her tears. She turn around and saw Dan Humphrey behind her. He hand her over a handkerchief to wipe her tears.
"I still have you?" said Blair while she wipes her tears.
"Always," said Dan while he offered his hand to her. Blair smile and hold his hand while both of them walk away down the aisle. All of the people were left there in shock and some keep calling her name but she didn't listen. The cameras are flashing, people are whispering but she didn't care. She makes the right decision. Its time to walk away.
"Blair Waldorf, where are you think you're going after you ruin the royal family?" scream Princess Sophie. Blair let go of Dan's hand and confront Princess Sophie.
"I ruin the royal family? To be honest, its you who ruin Blair Waldorf. This past few months was a living hell for me and you said I ruin the royal family?"
"How dare you?" Princess Sophie was about to slap Blair when Dan comes and stop her.
"And who's this bodyguard of yours?" she continues
"I don't need you or royal family to become a princess because I am Queen Blair Waldorf myself," she takes out her crown and necklace and handed it over to Princess Sophie. She bow to her for the last time and run with Dan.
"Wait, are we taking your car?" she suddenly stopped running. He nodded.
"No, look the limo is waiting for us. If we want to make the headlines, might as well make it classy," Dan smiled and both of them run towards the limo. Dan have a word with the limo driver before he followed Blair into the limo.
She was sitting there, quietly. She didn't cry as much as before but from the look of her face she did look worried.
"Did you… regret what you just did?" Dan ask her.
"No," such a simple answer comes out from her mouth. She look away to the window. He realize that she is just making a big decision on not to marry Louis. Tomorrow everything will be chaotic. The news will cover on what happen on this wedding. She will becomes a public humiliation in just one night. He knows that deep in her heart she is scared. She just lost everything, she must be still in the shock state to realize what is going on. He slowly reach for her hand. It was cold. She look at him with her doe eyes and rest her head on his shoulder.
"Wake me up when we're there," she said.
"You're not asking me where we're going?"
"I trust you,"
Dan smiled and wraps his arm all around her.
It was raining. The weather is getting cold. Dan looks outside. They already reach their destination. Blair is still sleeping.
"Sir, we are already here for the past 30 minutes," the limo driver broke the silence.
"Yeah, I know but give me 5 more minutes. She is still asleep and I don't really want to wake her up," he whispered. The limo driver nod and waits.
He look at her. She look so beautiful when she is sleeping. So innocent and naïve. He run his fingers to her cheeks. She have such a soft skin. He smile and kiss her cheek. She suddenly wakes up.
"Are we here?" she ask.
"Umm yeah," said Dan pretending that she didn't realize what he did earlier.
"Wear my coat, its getting cold outside," he continues while hands out his coat to her.
"Where are we? I feel like I just been asleep like 10 minutes," she lowered the window and gasp.
"What are we doing here, Humphrey? This is not the place that I want to go," she look disappointed with Dan. All her innocent and naïve side is all gone.
"You said you trust me,"
"Well, I guess I just give you so much credit for that. Ask the limo driver to drive somewhere else,"
"No, I will not. I already tip the limo driver and we are going to stop here,"
"Are you out of your mind? I can't believe I trust you. I'm not going,"
"Then you can just stand out there in the rain or you can follow me,"
She look at him. It seems like Dan is not going to let her win this time. She sulk and finally gives in.
