Youtube- Blair/Nate the Scientist is perfect for this chapter…was bored and looked up Nair and fell in love with this video.

"I…. Nate's always been there…" Blair said

"Go for it Nate." Serena whispered.

Chapter 4

Nate's POV

Nate watched, shocked, as Serena walked down the stairs.

He slowly walked back into the Blair's room. She looked up at him hesitantly. "Nate…"she began but he shook his head and she stopped talking.

Nate sighed dramatically and closed her door, not that it really mattered anymore. He gave her a serious look. "Well, Blair, I'm officially as lost and confused as you are now, I think Serena just broke up with me" he said.

"What?" Blair yelled. She went to stand up. "Let me talk to her."

Nate gave her a look that made her freeze. He shook his head, "I don't think your input will help the situation at all…in fact, I have absolutely no idea what to do." He sighed. There was an awkward silence.

Blair's POV

All hell broke loose the second that Blair heard the words 'broke up with me.' The tears that she had been holding in for too long began to spill and despite his own inner conflicts, Nate found himself wrapping her up in his arms.

She felt like as long as she was in his arms, she'd be safe. Right now, nothing mattered except for her and Nate. It was so easy to ignore all the complications and confusion and when she reached up and pulled him down for a kiss, it felt so right.

Nate wasn't even aware of what was going on until he realized that he was kissing Blair, as in just had a drastic break up with his best friend, Blair. After she pulled away, he noticed how much a relief the kiss had been.

Blair searched Nate's face trying to figure out what he was thinking. His eyes were also searching her expression, God how she loved his emerald eyes, they were so pretty. She saw the hesitation and confusion in his eyes, along with what she thought was determination. He leaned forward and kissed her again, she felt like she was going to faint.

Nothing mattered anymore, not Chuck or how horrible he had been to her, not the fact that kissing Nate probably was a bad idea. She was in heaven, completely calm. That's how she remained all night, as she fell asleep wrapped in his strong, muscular arms.

Blair rolled over sleepily. Nate grinned and kissed her hair. "Morning." He whispered.

Blair couldn't stop herself from laughing. "You know Natie, this is how I always pictured it…you know how we, well mainly I, planned out our entire life together. After everything that's changed, well being here with you is just amazing, impossible, and absolutely hilarious. I mean we were gonna get married and then we weren't and-mmph!" Nate promptly shut her up by kissing her.

Nate's POV

Everything was so, unreal. It felt like a dream and he knew that nothing was that simple. Blair would still have to face Chuck; he personally wanted to confront Serena because her simply accepting all of this was just strange. He knew that no matter how good he felt right then, in bed with Blair, that life would go on and it looked like it was going to grow even more complicated.

He'd just have to wait and see what was in store for him when the time came. He focused all of his attention on Blair for the moment; on how sexy her tangled hair looked, on the temporary relief and calmness that was reflected through her eyes, along with a slight annoyance that he had cut her off.

Her annoyance, however, was short lived as he gave her a short sweet kiss and got up. "Lots to do today, suppose, you know since it's already well past the morning, that you'd like to go out to lunch?" he asked.

"If you have the patience to wait for me to get dressed, and we should probably find some clothes for you." Blair replied.

Nate fought back a groan; it took her forever to get ready. "How about I'll go home and get dressed and everything and we can meet at the diner in an hour?" he suggested brilliantly. He would not have to sit around and wait for her, he could go back to his apartment and start to mull things over, start texting and making calls to various people.

"Okay." She agreed, going up on her tiptoes to give him a kiss. "In an hour then." She dismissed him, walking to her closet as he left her room.

Nate made his way outside, phone in his hand. He called a familiar number, knowing that he couldn't live with himself if he never gave Chuck a chance to explain his stupidity.

He picked up on the second ring. "Nate, surprising as ever. I assumed that you would be avoiding me for a while or plotting to kill me; you must have come to your senses to call me." Chuck said, no 'hello' or even a 'hey.'

"Yup, thinking rationally now; or maybe I'm completely insane for even bothering to ask for an explanation but, I'm giving you the benefit of the doubt, you're my best friend unfortunately and I know that at some point Blair will confront you and I probably won't be there to stop her from hurting herself more." Nate said as calmly as he could.

"Ah, so concerned for Blair; Serena told me as much. Congrats." Chuck said.

"I'm not going to ask questions now, and I am going to ignore you. Let's say we meet like civilized adults, around four, and if Serena didn't pick your brain enough, feel free to invite her too because I have questions for her as well, plus she'll serve as a witness in case I try to strangle the life out of you." he said in a low, barely controlled voice.

"You have a deal, and by the way Nate, your concern is touching."

Nate cursed into his phone and hung up, he couldn't stand talking to Chuck and was glad that he wasn't with him at the moment or he would have punch him right in the face. He turned and walked up his block, taking deep breaths to calm his rage.

After letting himself into his apartment, he texted Serena and Chuck: 4 o'clock, the bar on 42nd street. He then focused intently on the task of taking a shower and getting dressed.

Blair's POV

The shower was nice and refreshing and it woke her up, not just physically but mentally as well and she realized how much reality sucked at the moment. She had been in a dreamlike state when she was with Nate but now the façade came crashing down. She was filled with dread and didn't know what to do; she also did not want to have to rely solely on Nate.

She wanted to talk to Serena, to ask her friend about what had happened, how had life become so complicated? At the same time, she wanted to just relax and take a breath before doing anything serious.

Blair pressed a finger against her lips as she contemplated what to wear. For now she would just have to focus on the things she knew, the factors that were a constant in her life, life fashion. She'd look so amazing when she walked out of this house that no one would even guess that anything was amiss.

She set forth to achieve her goal, all the while thinking to herself, one step at a time.

I was momentarily stuck with this chapter. I try to update as much as can over weekends because that's pretty much the only time during the week that I'm not frantically practicing for auditions or meeting insane deadlines or working on a design to make a fake flower shoot out rainbow fire (…long story involving a mandatory course I am suffering through….)

Anyway, as always, I tend to ramble in my author's notes. Hope you liked the chapter, and if you're wondering where I'm going with it, sorry! Can't tell you because I have no idea at the moment and am also trying to think of chapters for my other stories.

Thanks for the overwhelming amount of reviews. I still find it very surprising that there are so many Nair fans xoxo
