***Music really helps me write, it kind of just flows out, so I'm going to keep posing until I actually have to sit and REALLY think about it. But meanwhile, you should all check out Trading Yesterday, they're awesome. (: Also, the chapters will be like this, 2 in Blair's P.O.V, then 2 in Dan's. And so-forth, but this chapter is half and half. ***
Dan
As he headed back to the loft, he couldn't help but feel lost. He knew the place like the back of his hand, but there was something missing, and it changed the whole atmosphere. He wanted to leave, to forget, but at the same time wanted to remember everything, all the moments they had, he wanted to stay. But he knew he couldn't.
When he got there, he went straight to his desk. He had to say goodbye, somehow, even if it was a letter. And he'd have to make a reason up, he couldn't tell Blair it was because it hurt too much to love her, not ever.
And so he wrote his goodbye to Nate.
Dear Nate;
I'm sorry that I had to leave without notifying all of you first. I'm going to be gone for a while, I don't know exactly how long. I just have to think some things through, remember why I became a writer, you know? Get my priorities straight. You won't be able to contact me, my phone will be off, you know, no distractions and all. I felt that I had to leave right away, so that I wouldn't change my mind. Tell everyone I'm sorry, especially Blair.
Sincerely,
Dan
And with that, he packed all his bags, left the key in its hiding spot, and left to hail a cab. His flight was scheduled to leave in 2 hours, he would have to rush. He didn't want to be here when Blair found out he had left in the middle of her royal wedding, not that she would care actually.
He opened the car door and told the driver "To J.F.K, and please hurry."
Blair
His vows, they were exactly what she had needed to hear. But somehow, they didn't sound right coming from Louis, they sounded so foreign on his lips, too unfamiliar.
And when the priest asked her if she accepted Louis as her husband, she hesitated as she said "I . . . I do.'' There was a cheer, applause from the guests as he dipped her and gave her his first kiss as her husband. And it felt wrong.
When they went out to the dance floor to have their first dance, all she could see was the flashing lights of her friends and family taking pictures of them. She couldn't help but feel something was missing, something important.
And at the reception, she went into Louis' dressing room. She had been cold and he had told her that his jacket was there. In a wave of curiosity she started to look around the room. On the desk in front of the mirror, were sheets of paper. She walked closer to see what they were, and they took her breath away.
They were Louis' vows, or, at least she had thought they were, But then why are they in Humphrey's handwriting?, she thought. She had to find out the truth, she was done with all the lies.
She slammed the door as she left to find her new husband.
