BLAIR
"NO!" my heart stopped, I would know that voice anywhere. My head whipped around, and there he was. In the flesh. He looked flushed and tired but his eyes sparkled as they held mine.
"He came" I breathed inaudible to everyone else. He walked down the aisle, cool calm and collected, his face adopting that unreadable mask. And I watched him saunter down the aisle is his signature walk, fighting the urge to run to him. I couldn't move, couldn't speak. He came.
CHUCK
Get a hold of yourself Bass, just walk up to her.
I had never been more nervous than I was right at this moment. What if she said no? She can still bet against you. I told myself, the doubts entered my mind making me want to run out of the church and drown myself in scotch.
DAN
No, no no no no no no no, this can't be happening. I turned to Nate
"I thought you said this wouldn't happen!" I whispered menacingly, he shrugged apologetically,
"I really thought he wouldn't." I rolled my eyes. Chuck reached the aisle, reached Blair, my Blair. But a voice inside my head nagged me, she was never yours, she was always Chucks.
He opened his mouth, and I closed my eyes in defeat.
BLAIR
What was he doing here? Why was he here? What would he say to me? I looked at him, Chuck Bass standing in front of my smirking, his eyes sparkling. I wanted him to give me a reason to kiss him, to choose him.
CHUCK
I tried to think of what to say, trying to figure out the words that could return her to me, my heart was yelling at me, I close my eyes and began to speak.
"I'm sorry I forgot peonies, I was in a bit of a rush." A quiet laugh went around the cathedral. "Blair, years ago I told you you're all I ever wanted, and that's still true. I love you more than ever, and honestly I don't know why, but I think you love me too."
"Chuck-"
"Please, let me finish. I think we're meant to be, that we're the one for each other. Blair, I think about you every day, every second of every day, constantly I hear your voice, your laughter, and... Other things" I smirked "but most of all I think about us, what we could, what we can have." I stepped closer to her, "I've done so much, we've been through so much. You can't tell me you no longer love me, feel anything. You can't stand there and marry Hum-drum Humphrey, not knowing if he's the one you truly want. I should've fought for you, I should have chased you, but here I am now" I stepped closer to her leaning into her ear, "we're inevitable Waldorf." I heard her gasp.
"No." I spun around to see Humphrey standing there, defiantly attempting to stop the inevitable. "No way, you can't do this. Blair is marrying me, she chose me! You can't be serious. Now on our wedding day?" I smiled at Blair, her face still in shock
"Well timing was never our strong suit." Her eyes widened thinking back to that night, where we had pledged our never ending love.
'That was the moment you chose not to be selfish?'
"Waldorf, we're never going to be safe alone, but I'm asking you to be safe with me."
BLAIR
'you were amazing up there'
'you can't affair to remember me!'
"Blair I can't stand being without you, you're everything to me."
'I don't want you going anywhere, I couldn't bear it.'
"I want you to be happy Blair, but I think it could be with me this time." he looked so vulnerable now, I wanted him so badly, but I couldn't we destroyed each other.
'I want you to be happy. However that's achieved'
"You're all that matters Blair, your my love, my life, my family." I couldn't listen to anymore, he was making it too hard to refuse him, you don't want to refuse him,
'I love you Chuck, and I'll always be your family.'
"We're magnetic Blair we have to be together. It's the only thing that feels right anymore."
'Our pull is as undeniable as ever'
'I never thought it possible to love someone too much, maybe it is.' I wanted it to stop, the memories, Chucks speech, my wedding. I just wanted air.
"Blair the greatest loves are not simple or amicable, Their dark, twisted, complex and all consuming. Cabbage Patch can't make you happy. We're meant it be, I know it, everyone here knows it, Gossip Girl knows it and deep down so do you."
'If two people are meant to be together, eventually they'll find their way back'
"You can't fight me, it always pulls us in. And to be honest Blair I don't want to fight it anymore, so here I am pledging my love for you asking you to choose... Me." he smiled a genuine smile that spoke more words than he could ever say.
'In the end love makes everything simple'. Then it hit me, love makes everything simple, and I loved Chuck I always had. Always.
"Chuck, I...I..." I could see it his face falling, he had put it all on the line and he thought I was rejecting him. I couldn't speak, so I let my actions speak for me, I stepped to him and grasped his head in my hands,
'You can't run, you have to stay here and hear it this time. Chuck Bass I love you. I love you so much, it consumes me. And I know you love me too.'I lifted my lips to his. God I had missed him.
DAN
I felt sick, physically sick. But I knew it, I knew as soon as he showed up she'd choose him, she loves him more than anything, you weren't meant to be. But that didn't stop my anger, I wanted to kill him, I wanted to hurt him.
CHUCK
She was kissing me, I couldn't believe it. I clung to her, memorizing every part of her. I had missed her, I had no idea how I had survived without her.
"Blair..." I whispered I felt her smile against me. We broke apart.
"I love you too." my whole body felt lighter. I laughed, deliriously happy,
"Really?"
"We're inevitable Bass" I didn't even notice Humphrey, until his fist had sunken into my jaw.
NATE
Shit.
"Dan, man stop" he pushed me off,
"You son of a bitch Bass." he went to clock him again, but Chuck caught his arm, and swiftly punched him. Dan hit again, and Chuck retaliated,
"I believe we are even." Chuck stated calmly getting out a handkerchief and dabbing at the blood around his mouth.
"Even?" Dan asked painfully,
"Yes you have punched me twice, and now I have done the same for you." Dan got up and hit Chuck again,
"Dan please stop!" Blair cried. But Dan ignored now struggling with Chuck on the floor. "Nate do something." I nodded, I grabbed Dan lifting him up giving him to Rufus. I helped Chuck up,
"You right man?" Chuck nodded. "He's names Dan Humphrey in case you want to kill him with your scarf" I whispered. Chuck laughed,
"Don't mock the scarf Nathaniel, it's my signature" he gestured down, and there around his neck was his old scarf, I laughed. "Now if you'll excuse me"
"Glad you could make it by the way." he smiled and walked, slightly disorientated, over to Blair.
"Chuck are you okay?"
"I am now."
SERENA
Chuck looked, well Pretty good for someone who had just been beaten up, but other than that he looked happier than he had ever been. I looked at Nate, who looked back smiling. This could work, I mused.
CHUCK
"Love me?" She asked, mirroring us so many years ago
"Always." I replied pressing her lips to mine.
Here's the scoop kiddies,
Chuck walked in heart on sleeve and Blair said yes, as if no one saw that coming. Lonely Boy tried to kill him but was topped by N, C's right hand man. S and N are once more making eyes at one another. Oh and here's the best part, the King and Queen have reunited. All is right once more. Thanks for the update on the situation, EmmaRose, really appreciated it.
