Last Time on Game of Love
I wanted to be like you, I wanted everything. So I tried to be like you, and I got swept away.
"Hey, girls." Jenny Humphrey said cheerfully as she approached the girls. "Wow, Blair, great shoes."
"Thanks, Jen." Blair replied. Blair didn't really like Jenny at first but Jenny's charm seemed to have worked on Blair, she is nicer to her now.
I didn't know that it was so cold and you needed someone to show you the way.
"Little J is so new to this." Blair thought to herself. "I can't let her see Nate looking like this, he might not make the right impression."
"Little J." Blair said putting her arms around Jenny. "I think I should give you a simple make over, you know, to make the impression."
"Oh, OK." Jenny agreed, unsure to what she got into.
"You're absolutely gorgeous, Jen." Serena reassured her as she gave her a peck on the cheek. "Any guy who would see you would fall madly in love with you."
So I took your hand and we figured out that when the time comes I'd take you away.
"Jenny!" Nate yelled as he crossed the street.
"Hey, Nate." Jenny said shyly as Nate walked beside her.
"Hi. Mind if I walk with you?" Nate asked her, hiding his shaky hands in his coat pocket.
If you want to I can save you, I can take you away from here. So lonely inside, so busy out there, and all you wanted was somebody who cares.
"What's the one thing you always wish for?" Jenny asked Nate.
Nate wanted to say, "For you to be mine." But he couldn't. Jenny would freak out, he knew that much.
"All I want to happen eversince I was a little girl is to fall in love." Jenny told him, looking at the ground, blushing.
I'm sinking slowly so hurry hold me, your hand is all I have to keep me hanging on.
She noticed that Blair was glassy eyed. "What happened, Blair?
"Haven't you seen it?" Kati asked Jenny, glaring at her for being so insensitive.
"It's all over Gossip Girl." Isabel said as she handed her cellphone to Jenny across the table.
Jenny's eyes widened when she saw a picture of her and Nate hugging each other. She slowly looked up thinking if anyone knew that it was her.
Please can you tell me so I can finally see where you go when you're gone.
"Well, Waldorf, how do you find my place?" Chuck asked Blair giving her a teasing look.
"Exquisite, I guess, Bass." Blair said as she took a sip of her Appletini. She didn't even look nor smiled at him.
Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf have always been, rather, unfriendly to each other. They grew up with the same group of friends but have never actually gotten along.
If you want to I can save you, I can take you away from here.
"Blair, please stop." Nate said, exhaling heavily. "I'm- I'm tired." He said, stumbling on his words.
"Tired?" Blair said loudly. "If there is someone who should be tired in this relationship, it should be me, Nate, not you."
"You'll thank me someday for doing this." Nate said.
"I won't." Blair said shaking her head. "I hate you, Nate." She screamed as she turned away and ran, following where her feet leaded her to go.
So lonely inside, so busy out there, and all you wanted was somebody who cares.
"Are you okay?" Nate asked Jenny who was still leaning against him.
"Uh-huh." Jenny replied softly. She didn't want to open her eyes. She was too confused.
She liked the feeling of resting her head on Nate's shoulder and having his arms around her, what she didn't understand was why she liked it. Was she falling for Nate? She was too drunk to know for sure.
All you wanted was somebody who cares ,if you need me you know I'll be there.
"Jenny." Nate said. "Blair and I broke up."
"Listen to me." Nate said as he grabbed Jenny's hand. "I did this, not to break Blair's heart, but to save her from all the pain she's going to feel if this continued."
"I have to go, Nate. I have to be there for Blair." Jenny said as she headed for the main staircase, tying her hair up into a bun again. "What we did was a mistake."
Nate felt weak again. He wanted to tell her that he loved her, so he ended up saying it loud enough to fill the rooftop, just to let it go out.
"I love you, Jenny, more than you'll ever know."
If you want to I can save you, I can take you away from here.
Blair was watching her favorite movie, Breakfast at Tiffany's. It's like her drug. It never failed to make her happy, well, not until now. She woke up earlier than usual to watch this film and be distracted for a while but somehow, she just can't forget her problems.
Nate felt like he was run over by a ten-wheeler truck. He tried to sleep through the night, but to no avail, he kept on thinking about Jenny and Blair. He was certain that he did the right thing but he was the only one who saw that. He got out of bed very early that morning to go for a run and think, but somehow, his feet brought them outside Jenny's apartment building.
So lonely inside, so busy out there and all you wanted was somebody who cares.
"Nate—" Blair said stumbling on her words. Finally, after letting out a loud sigh, she continued what she was saying. "Nate broke up with me last night." Tears started to form in Blair's gorgeous eyes.
"I'm sorry," was all Jenny could say. It was the appropriate thing to say. She knew that Blair was hurting because of her, eventhough, Blair herself didn't know it.
"Don't worry." Blair said wiping tears from her face and forcing a smile. "You, me and Serena will have a chilling day and have so much fun."
Please can you tell me so I can finally see where you go when you're gone.
Chuck and Nate decided to have fun in the Bemelman's bar at The Carlyle Hotel because it is where everybody their age hang out on a Saturday.
"Where are we to, Misses?" The chauffer asked the girls as he lowered the panel separating them to him.
"The Carlyle." Blair replied as she flashed him her happiest smile.

Bemelman's bar
8:25pm
"So isn't this, like, disloyalty to Victrola?" Nate said as he broke their silence. He was already pretty tipsy since he's on his third Bacardi. "Hanging out on other bars?"
"Man, if I hang out at Victrola all the time," Chuck said as he sipped his drink and laid back onto his chair. "How else would I know other business tactics." He smirked. Smart of you, C. Very smart of you.
"Oh." Nate whispered. "So it's li—"
"Dude." Chuck interrupted Nate and placed his hand on Nate's shoulder. "Look." He said as he looked directly at the hotel's front door entrance.
When Nate looked that way, he saw three familiar girls. All of them looked stunning, walking side by side, smiling and walking tall. It looked like an opening of a chick flick wherein everybody stared at them and everybody wanted to be with them. Slowly, Nate realized that he knew these girls, and he felt lucky that he did. You better do, bad boy.
-JNB-
As the girls walked into The Carlyles, they knew that they sparkled more than anybody else in the entire hotel, or at least, they felt that they did. People stopped and stared. Some of them even whispered to one another. Is this possible? More gossip girls than I've thought so?
"Isn't that Eleanor Waldorf's daughter?" A wife of a famous lawyer whispered to her friends.
"Oh and the tall blonde on is a Van Der Woodsen." One of her friends whispered back looking pleased at herself for being sure on her facts.
"Who is the other girl?" Another one asked. No one knew the answer. That's Little J to you, Madame.
"Are they all staring at us?" Jenny whispered to Blair. You're so naïve, Little J. But you'll get used to it.
"Yes." Blair replied. "Because we're hotter than all of them, and they know it."
"Oh my God, B." Serena said. "It's Chuck," she said as she stopped walking. "With Nate."
-JNB-
"Looking superb, ladies." Chuck said as he got out of his chair and walked towards them. "And may I say that you're definitely gorgeous tonight, Waldorf." Chuck said as he touched Blair's chin to lift her face up.
She lost all the confidence she had when she saw Nate. She suddenly wanted to go back home and cry her eyes out.
"Get lost, Chuck." Blair said shoving his hand away ad walking towards an empty stool in the bar.
"A shot of Tequila." Blair told the barman. She decided that if she would stay in the same place with Nate and that annoying Chuck Bass, she would drink to her heart's desire.
"Blair." Serena said as she walked towards her friend. Jenny followed her. "Don't do this. I thought we're going to have fun?"
"Well, I'm going fun Serena." Blair snapped at her. Obviously, she was in a really bad mood. "Don't ruin my night."
"When did I ever ruin your night, B." Serena said, feeling offended at what Blair said. "I always tolerate you, you know that."
Jenny knew that they were going to end up fighting, so instead of getting involved in it, she just kept quiet.
"You're being a bitch, B." Serena said. Blair ignored her, instead she drank her tequila.
"I am a bitch." Blair said as she eyed Serena. "I am the world's biggest bitch."
"I'm out of here." Serena mumbled as she grabbed her purse from the counter top and left. Sometimes, you just have to leave a bitch alone, S.

Nate sensed just how uncomfortable the situation is, he knew that everything was his fault but somehow, he felt like he needed to bow out of this one.
"I'll probably take off now." Nate whispered to Chuck, who was watching Blair drink after drink. He took some bills out of his wallet and paid for his drinks.
"Dude, the party is just starting." Chuck said as he looked at Nate for the first time since the girls arrived. "Waldorf is going to get so drunk!"
Nate just shook his head and grabbed his jacket from the stool he was sitting on. Chuck continued to watch Blair consume cocktails that was too much for her. For the first time that night, Nate dared himself to look at Jenny.
She was sitting next to Blair, a slight look of disgust on her face. But despite that, Nate still got breathless. She looked stunning, not just because she was wearing fancy clothes, but because she glowed incredulously. Nate wanted her, but he knew how messed up things were going to be if he made a move. Instead, he just headed out the hotel, disappointed at himself for letting another opportunity slip his hands.
-JNB-
"Why are you looking at me that way?" Blair snapped at Jenny when she saw the mild disgusted look on her companion's face. Her voice sounded too drunk.
"What?" Jenny said, popping back into reality. "I'm not looking at you in any kind of way." She explained, trying to cover up.
"Yes you were, Little J!" Blair screamed at Jenny. "You think I'm a pathetic drunk bitch, do you?" She looked at Jenny as if she wanted her head to explode.
"I don't, Blair." Jenny defended herself, stuttering. "It's just that I think you've drunk way too much."
"Don't lecture me, Jenny!" Blair told her. "You're just like Serena! You're both pathetic!"
Jenny practically worshipped Blair, but she knew when to sense that something was enough. Now was the time, she knew that Blair went overboard with her comment.
"I'm going home." Jenny said flatly.
"Go!" Blair said, gesturing her hand towards the door. "Nobody said that you need to stay!"
"Fine." Jenny snapped. She grabbed her purse and left the hotel shaking with anger.
-JNB-
Jenny can't believe what just happened. Blair was really being a bitch. She hated to think that way but it was the truth. She didn't want to leave Blair alone knowing that she is drunk but she kicked Jenny out of the place herself.
Jenny walked to the outer premises of the hotel to find a cab, but as from where she stood she saw that the traffic was pretty jammed. Little J, it's Saturday and you're in New York. What do you expect?
She was starting to get cold and impatient, she was also starting to get scared that she was alone and it was dark. She can't wait to get home.
"Where are all the cabs?" Jenny said silently to herself in an angry tone. She had her arms crossed over her chest, touching her bare arms.
Suddenly, somebody touched Jenny's shoulders. The hand was warm and it gave Jenny all the warmth she needed. She felt comfortable and she wasn't scared anymore.
"Nate." Jenny said softly as she turned around to see who it was. "What are you doing here?"
"Well, as you can see the traffic is jammed and there are no cabs." Nate explained as he removed his jacket. "Here, wear it before you catch a cold." He handed Jenny his jacket and she took it hesitantly.
"Thanks." She whispered as she wore it slowly. Nate smiled at her and she can't help but smile back. N's smile is really contagious.
-JNB-
"Shit!" Blair mumbled as she saw Jenny walk out of the hotel. She knew that she was alone now, and it was all because she snapped on her concerned friends. She placed her pounding head on top of her folded arms over the counter top. Next thing she knew, she was silently sobbing.
Chuck can't help but be sorry for Blair. He was still staring at her from across the bar. He saw how bad Blair felt that she sent everybody she loves away. Normally, he would choose to be the asshole he showed people he really was, but now, he felt that he needed to be decent for his distant friend.
"You okay, Waldorf?" Chuck asked her as he sat beside her.
"Don't start with me, Chuck." Blair uttered. Her head was still over the counter. "I'm not in the mood."
"Maybe if you haven't pissed everybody who cared for you, you wouldn't be alone right now." Chuck told her in the most sincere tone of voice Blair has ever heard from Chuck.
Blair started to feel worse. She knew everything was her fault when Chuck Bass made sense.
"I just don't know what to do anymore." Blair said raising her head and facing Chuck, her mascara was all over her face from her tears.
Chuck was surprised that Blair was actually crying. He saw her cried before but he never felt sorry for her, unlike now.
"Maybe you just have to let it all out." Chuck said slowly taking Blair's drink away from her. "Don't hide your pain, Blair."
Blair's eyes got huge. Chuck never called her 'Blair'. It was always 'Waldorf' or some other mocker, but never 'Blair'.
"I never imagined us having a conversation like this." Blair said. Her head was spinning from all the drinks she had.
"Me, too." Chuck said, looking at her.
Suddenly, Blair did the unthinkable. She reached out for Chuck and kissed him. On the lips, of the French variation. I never thought this night could be more interesting!
-JNB-
Jenny and Nate stood in silence on their exact same spot for minutes. Nate was feeling cold but he didn't say anything. Both of them didn't say anything, but their emotions were loud enough for each other to understand.
A few moments later, an empty cab stopped in front of them.
"You take it." Jenny told Nate, looking into his deep, blue eyes. "You've been waiting longer than me."
"No way!" Nate almost shouted. He, under any circumstance, won't leave Jenny alone. "You take it."
"Fast, fast!" The cab driver shouted at the both of them from his passenger side window.
"Let's just take it together." Jenny said quietly. She knew that it was going to be a uncomfortable ride but that was the only negotiable way.
Nate nodded and opened the backseat door for Jenny. He got in after her and hastily closed the door.
-JNB-
Chuck and Blair got to Chuck's limo, but they didn't stop locking lips on the way. Neither of them knew why they were doing it but they both knew that they wanted it.
"I didn't know you're such a great kisser, Chuck." Blair said giggling as she kissed down Chuck's neck.
"You never asked." Chuck replied as he buried his face into Blair's strawberry-scented brunette hair.
They both felt good and happy, and that's what's important for now.
-JNB-
Jenny and Nate have been in the Foreign song playing cab for half an hour, but they were barely halfway there. They were both tired and silent.
Jenny was trying to sleep but her head kept bumping onto the window. Nate noticed it and then he did something he wanted to do since they got into the cab, he gently took Jenny's head and placed it on his shoulders and wrapped his toned arms around her petite frame. Just like how he did it the night before.
"What are you doing?" Jenny asked him quietly as she slightly wake up.
"Nothing." Nate whispered. "Just sleep, Jenny. It's a long way from home. Don't worry, I won't do anything to you." He assured her.
"I know." Jenny whispered back as she slowly went back to her sleep.
Nate noticed that the cab driver was watching them from the rear view mirror, he had a distinct look that seems to say that he was happy for them.
"You're girlfriend, sir?" The cab driver asked. "Lucky girl, you must really love her, eh?"
"She's not my girlfriend." Nate answered back politely. "But I do love her. A lot."
