Sorry for taking so long to update. I'm finally done with the college stuff for awhile so I'll try to update as much as possible. Loved the reviews, you guys are the best. Here you go.

The Moment of Change

Update: I want to say thanks to my trusty little helpers who sent me a great surprise for you all. What surprise you ask? Well it seems that a false king is holding the throne. We all know from C bragging that he got 26 but word via text message was that someone over heard CJ telling S that she had 27. Why the forfeit CJ? Is there something you're not telling us?

It was a week after the party and ever since Charlie has successfully dodged seeing Chuck even with the living right next to each other. She would leave early and come back late, anything not to see him. Even when he would be perched out side Constance Billard waiting for her with his limo she would go through the back and take a cab. She couldn't bring herself to look at him.

She kept replaying his face when she walked in at the party, before he knew she was in the room. He looked regretful; she could smell the guilt off of him as she walked further into the room. And that's how she knew he slept with Blair before he even said anything. From the smug look that was placed on Blair's face to the shameful look on his. She had her suspicions when Blair didn't take Nate back right away and then she saw her around the hotel all the time but she needed to hear it from his mouth. When she did it just made the situation all too real and hurt a lot more.

Remember the moment of change
is it all straight ahead or behind you?
Well maybe if you look around
you'll see everything's perfectly clear
picture it all in your mind

'There were rules' she thought. 'There were freaking rules that were supposed to be followed. I kept up my side of the bargain; I didn't touch Isobel's brother but for some reason it's too hard for Chuck to ignore any girl he hadn't had, let alone Blair. It's been like that since we were kids but we're not kids anymore and you'd think he would grow up and realize that. Maybe I need to realize that I'm not the same girl who he used to run to anymore to help make his plans, some legal some not. And he's not the same boy who would take a cab late at night and sneak into my covers to sleep when his mom was still there and his parents argued all the time.'

When you look back on times we had
I hope you smile
And know that through the good and through the bad
I was on your side when nobody could hold us down

She knew after five years some things would have changed, she wasn't naïve. Part of him was still there just not the part she was hoping for.

For Chuck it was the slowest week in the world. He would skip class and wait for her after school to find out she already left and pace around the lobby to see when she would come home but to no avail. If there was one the thing he hated most it was being ignored and Charlie was an expert at it. When they were younger and she got mad at him it was no funny matter. She would put him in exile as if he had leprosy only taking pity on him when he begged. He felt like it was middle school all over again except he didn't think her favorite candy and a smile would make up for it this time.

The night of the party he said to himself he was going to end it just like he had so many nights before, but that day was different. After that morning in the hotel with Charlie and the almost kiss he knew that the situation with Blair would cost him his friendship with Charlie but he realized it too late.

Whenever you remember times gone by
Remember how we held our heads so high
When all this world was there for us

'She needs to grow up' he thought. 'We're not children and she's not innocent either as we all know so I don't understand what she's playing at. She's walking around holier than thou as if nobody can make mistakes and it's not fair. We all have our reoccurring sins and Blair's mine. She needs to understand that I'm not the kid that ripped hearts on Valentine's Day after Blair picked Nate on that fateful day. I'm not that stupid Blair's just my lustful other, like this drug I can't get out of my system. But Charlie's the best friend that I wouldn't have to worry if she would bail me out of jail twenty times because each of those twenty times she would be sitting right next to me in that cell. I can get sex any where but as much as I hate to admit it I know I can't find anyone as crazy enough as Charlie to put up with all the things I've put her threw all these years. I didn't even put Nate through half that shit. Even though it kills me, and believe me it does I have to end it, I'll call Blair and meet her tonight'

When you're standing at a crossroad,
There's a choice you gotta make

Chuck looked at the time and opened the door to head down to the lobby. As he was closing his door he found Charlie opening hers.

They both froze staring at each other intently neither wanting to give up the first seconds of contact they have had in the past week. So they stood there as the minutes passed waiting for the other to say something. The sound of the elevator broke Charlie out of her trance. She turned towards, seeing Blair. Charlie looked back up at Chuck with indifferent eyes and shook her head as she opened the door.

Charlie, wait it's not what you thi--"

But no words were heard as she closed the door with a silent click.
