A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while, things have been kinda crazy. I wrote this chapter quite some time ago but didn't post it because I'm not really happy with it, then I realized how long it has been and put it up anyway. I will be updating again very soon with a much better chapter to make up for this one (hopefully). Thanks to all those who reviewed!! Again, sorry it's been so long.

He inhaled.

Blair.

Chuck stiffened and stared at the back of her head. He watched as she shifted and repositioned herself, trying to get comtfortable. He continued staring with wide eyes for about a half hour until her laboured breathing told him she was asleep. Chuck let out a breath he didn't even know he was holding. He rolled on his back and stared at the ceiling. What was she doing? Torturing him? He looked over at her sleeping form. She was far enough away that she was not touching him... she snuck into his bed while she thought he was asleep. Maybe she wasn't trying to pull something. He looked over at her as she began to murmer. He smiled as she shivered and grabbed sleepily at the covers making a sad attempt to pull them up to her chin. Before he could even think he rolled over and moved to her, wrapping an arm around her waist and pulling her into him.

Blair gasped as she felt Chucks arm pulling her towards him until her back was pressed against his chest. "Chuck..." she closed her eyes as he buried his face in her hair. She sighed as she remembered all the times he had done it before. "Chuck?" She said again.

"Shhh" he hissed "Don't-"

"But Chuck we-"

"Blair" he began kissing her neck "Please.." He felt her breath quicken and back arch. "Just don't say anything" he whispered.

She sighed and turned onto her back to face him. Chuck wasted no time climbing on top of her covering her with his body. He dipped his head and began kissing her. Blair pulled back and smiled at him, he returned the sentiment, his eyes softening. She ran a hand across his cheek.

"I've missed this" she said.

He kissed her gently on the lips "Me too"

"What happened to us?" She asked weakly.

Chuck frowned moved off of her lying on his back again. Blair quickly propped herself up on her elbow and stared at him. "What's wrong?"

"This" he said, pointing a finger between them, "was a mistake."

"What are you talking about?!" She demanded, surprised by his sudden attitude change.

Chuck stood up and walked to the foot of the bed, raking his hand through his hair.

"This was a mistake" he repeated "We're not together for a reason Blair, and I'm not doing this."

"What do you mean?" she asked, her face full of pain.

"This." He said pointing to the bed "We are a couple and you acknowledge it, or we're nothing Blair. You're choice."

Blair stared at him "I-I-"

"You what, Blair!?" He screamed at her.

She shuddered at his raised voice. "Chuck I--" she was trembling.

"You what? Let me guess. You're sorry?" Chuck watched as tears started to cloud her eyes. "I can't do "sorry" anymore Blair. If you are afraid of what I would do to your reputation then I guess we will go back to ignoring each other." He said softly, as he gathered his coat.

"Where are you going!?" She sniffed, standing up now.

"Out. Away. Stay here all day if you want. I won't even be back til tonight.." He slipped into his shoes and opened the door "..if that" Walking out and closing the door behind him.

Blair wasn't sure how long she had sat in Chucks suite, crying. She didn't even know why this meant so much to him. Who cared if other people knew about them. What would change? They would link arms at social events, peck each other on the cheek before class, he would by her more things? Plus then when they broke up everyone would know. She cringed as she thought of what Gossip Girl would say. "Our Upper East Side badboy is back. Guess you just weren't good enough, B" or "Spotted: Chuck Bass 8 minutes after dumping our Queens sorry ass, walking into his hotel a blonde on each arm" She scoffed at the thought as she gathered her things and made her way out of the hotel.

Chuck didn't really know where he was going until he got there. He walked through the gates and up to Nates door. He knocked once quietly, half hoping no one would answer. "It's open!!" He heard Nate call out. He slipped inside closing the door quietly behind him. He walked to the living room where he found Nate sitting in front of the T.V with a bowl of popcorn.

"Chuck?" Nate questioned, giving his friend an odd look. "What are you doing here? It's like, 5 in the morning."

"What are you doing up watching T.V"

As if to answer, Chuck heard the bathroom door open and approaching footsteps.

"Brooke?!" Chuck exclaimed

"Chuck? What are you doing here?"

"What am I doing? What are you doing?" He looked between his two friends for an explanation, giving Nate a particularly hard look.

"We ran into Nate when me and Serena were leaving the hotel so we came back here to hang out. I thought you were with Blair?"

Chuck sighed. "I was."

"What happened, man?" Nate asked, standing to walk towards him.

"Nothing, nothing happened. Listen, I'm tired. I think I'm just going to go home" He said turning to the door.

"Want me to come with you?" Brooke asked, grabbing her coat. "I could keep you company" she said in a teasing voice, "We could get ice cream!"

He smiled, "Thanks, you can if you want. I won't be much fun though." he turned to Nate "You don't mind me stealing her, do you?"

Nate laughed "Nah, you guys go on. I'll probably head to bed now anyway."

Chuck smiled weakly, and walked out the door with Brooke close behind.

"So....?" She moved closer looping her arm in his

"So what?" he deadpanned.

"So what's wrong with you and Blair?"

Chuck sighed, "I don't even know where to begin."
