Dan stepped out in the hallway. He had changed into his swimming shorts and so had Kyle. They grabbed their towels and were now going to take an elevator to the second floor. Once they arrived, they quickly knew where the party was. There were at least seventy-five people and they were all crowded around the pool. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Dan looked for any sign of Serena. He couldn't find that familiar blond hair anywhere. He saw Jenny and started walking toward her. Kyle followed. Jenny was standing with Sharon. They were checking out some guys. Dan tapped Jenny's shoulder. She turned around.

"Dan! Finally you made it."

Sharon smiled.

"Hey, Dan."

Dan just gave her a smile before turning back Jenny.

"Have you seen Serena?"

"No. She probably hasn't arrived yet."

Dan sighed. She was the reason he had come and she wasn't even there. Jenny spoke.

"Don't worry. When she comes I'll tell you, until then party!"

She walked away with Sharon in tow. He turned around to Kyle. Kyle was checking out the pool. Dan spoke.

"You don't have to hang out with me the whole night. You could find some other people, you won't be finding a lot of those if your with me."

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

"Okay. Hope you find Serena."

Kyle walked away. Dan sighed. There went one of the two people who were actually talking to him right now. Dan walked through the crowds of people. He grabbed some chips and started eating. He glanced around the room every couple minutes, just to see if Serena had arrived. Where was she? he thought. Meanwhile, Serena and Eric were hanging out in Serena's suite. Suddenly, Serena's phone informed her she had a text. She opened it up.

Can you come to the pool? -B

Isn't it being used for your and Chuck's use?

Yeah but Nate interrupted and now he's throwing a party -B

He interrupted?

He's drunk -B

How does Chuck feel about that?

Pretty bad. So can you come? Bring anyone you want. -B

Serena sighed. She turned to Eric.

"Eric?"

He looked up from a magazine he was reading.

"Yeah?"

"Want to go to a party?"

"Ummm, sure."

"Okay."

"Where is it?"

"Pool."

His face became confused.

"Aren't Chuck and Blair using it though?"

"Yeah, but something came up. Nate's throwing a party there now."

"Okay. I'll go change. I'll meet you in ten."

"Okay."

He walked out of the suite. Serena turned back to her text message.

Yeah, I'll be there.

Great! Now it won't be boring -B

Serena closed her phone and changed into her gold coloured bikini. She put a white wrap around skirt around her. She walked into the hall and saw Eric standing there in his shorts. They walked to the second floor and were almost overthrown by the amount of people there. She tried to find Blair. She looked around the pool. No sign of Blair. She was about to check the pool itself, when someone grabbed her arm. She turned around to see Dan. She scoffed and tried to get her arm free. He just looked her in the eyes. She couldn't with out tears brimming her eyes. He spoke first.

"Can we talk?"

"Why?"

He took a deep breath.

"We need to. It's about us."

As much Serena didn't want to, she followed Dan to a quieter spot. She crossed her arms and glared at him.

"Start talking."

Dan took a deep breath before talking.

"I'm sorry. I'm sorry I hit Blair. I'm sorry that I hurt you. I'm sorry."

He looked at Serena. Anger was still in her eyes.

"You're sorry?"

He nodded.

"Dan, saying sorry doesn't so anything. People say things that they don't mean all the time."

She turned to walk away. Dan grabbed her arm. She turned around, still glaring at him. He spoke.

"I know words don't do anything but I truly am sorry."

"Those are just words, Dan."

She turned to walk away. He stopped her again, but by using his voice.

"What do I have to do?"

She turned around and looked him in the eyes.

"I don't know, but until you do I don't think we should be together."

She walked away before he could see the tears that fell from her eyes. She didn't want to do it, but she had to. Those were just words. They don't always mean something. She decided all she needed to do was get something to eat, so she walked to area where food was being served. Everything is going to be alright, right? she thought. She sat down and ate. Meanwhile, Chuck was busy looking for Blair. Where could she be? He looked around some more. He saw Eric.

"Eric, have you seen Blair?"

"Not tonight. Did you ask Serena?"

"Not yet. Tell me if you see Blair, okay?"

"Yeah."

Chuck walked away. He looked around some more. No sign of Blair. He saw Serena sitting on a pool chair.

"Van der Woodsen, have you seen Blair?"

She looked up at him.

"No. Maybe she went back to the suite."

"No, she wouldn't do that. If you see her, tell her I'm looking for her. Okay?"

"Yeah."

He walked away. Where was Blair? Meanwhile, Blair was hanging out with Nate. They were in the restaurant getting some food for the pool party. Nate was still loaded, but he was a happy drunk. They were waiting for their food orders to finish up. Nate turned to Blair.

"Blair?"

She looked at him.

"Yeah?"

"Why don't you think we worked out?"

She sighed. She hated thinking about that very day her life came crashing down. She looked at the floor.

"We didn't trust each other."

He looked at her with wide-eyes.

"But I always trust you."

"We just didn't belong together."

Nate took a deep breath.

"Sometimes I wish we were still together."

Blair was caught off guard. He still wished they were back together? But she had Chuck now. Nate was just another boy she had dated. She had loved him though, but everyone has loved someone else at least once in their life. She looked back at him.

"Nate, I am with Chuck now. You have to get over the past."

He looked at her.

"I don't think I can."

He moved in closer. She had no idea what he was doing. He was right in front of her. He lightly brushed her lips with his. He had missed kissing her. He tried to bring her in closer, but she pulled away. She looked at him with anger in her eyes.

"No, Nate! You can't do that! I have Chuck, I will not cause him anymore pain."

She stormed off. How could Nate do that? Even if he was drunk, he still knew. She walked back to the pool. Now where was Chuck? Meanwhile, Chuck was still looking for Blair, but had taken a break to get a drink. Sharon watched him from a few feet away. He is so fine, she thought. Jenny smiled. She knew exactly what Sharon was thinking. She turned to her.

"Go talk to him."

Sharon went wide eyed.

"What?"

Jenny rolled her eyes.

"Go talk to him. Blair's obviously isn't here, make him yours."

Sharon looked at Chuck.

"Do you think I should?"

"Yes. Now go."

Jenny pushed Sharon. Sharon walked over to Chuck. He was busy thinking of more places where Blair might be. She stood beside him.

"Hey Chuck."

He saw her and gave her a small smile. She smiled back.

"So, what are you doing?"

He took another sip of his drink before replying.

"Looking for my girlfriend, Blair. You know the one that you called a bitch last night."

Sharon looked down at her feet.

"Oh yeah. Sorry about that. I guess I was just frustrated by my mom."

She had thought of a quick lie, something Jenny had taught her. But Jenny learned it from the Queen B herself. Chuck just looked at the redhead.

"I guess it's alright. Just apologize to Blair though."

"Okay. So where is Blair anyway?"

"I don't know."

Sharon ran her fingers in her hair.

"Well, what if she's hanging out with that Nate guy."

Chuck froze. Come to think of it, the last time he had seen Blair she had been at Nate's side. Crap, he thought. He turned back to Sharon.

"Thanks, now I know where to look."

She smiled.

"No problem. Um Chuck?"

"Yeah?"

He put his drink down. She took a deep breath.

"You're really hot."

He looked uncomfortable. He knew he unbelievably hot, he told himself that everyday. But it was just weird when a girl that was younger than he was told him that. She smiled up at him. Her cheeks were red. He gave her a small smile.

"Um, thanks. I got to go."

He practically ran out of there. He looked for a familiar brunette. He saw her standing next to Serena.

"Blair!"

She smiled when she saw him. He brought her into a hug. She couldn't help but smile. He held her closer to him. He surprised himself. He actually missed her even though she had probably been gone for twenty five minutes. They separated a little. He looked into her eyes.

"I missed you."

She smiled. He missed her.

"I missed you too, Prince Charming."

He smiled. He turned around and put one arm around her shoulder and they walked.

"So what was my princess up to?"

She looked at the ground. His eyes grew worried.

"Blair?"

She looked up at him.

"I have to tell you something."
