A/N hey guys thanks for reviewing, here's chapter 11 :)

Chapter 11

When Nate woke up in the morning his arms where empty, his life just felt empty. Sighing he made his way to the bathroom and couldn't help the little bit of hope he got when he saw the door partly open but she wasn't in there and he was disappointed. He brushed his teeth and washed his face and made his way downstairs to the kitchen. He kept looking for her but she was nowhere to be found.

He went onto her room, which is where she should have went in the first place but she wasn't there, he smiled when he saw that no bags where packed and it didn't look like she took anything but then he remembered she was Serena van der Woodsen she didn't need anything to leave him. Sighing he made his way downstairs again this time he bumped into Erik who only had one word for him, "Beach."

Nate sprinted onto the beach as fast as he could and let the breath he was holding go when he saw her sitting on the rocks they used to play at when they were younger, she was throwing stones into the water. He only noticed now that for the first time this summer it started to rain, a light drizzle but it was still rain.

"Hey," he said slowly walking to her and sitting down nudging her shoulder with his. "You ok?"

"Sorry I thought I'd be back in the house by the time you woke up so you would know I wasn't leaving," she said with a small smile.

"I have to admit waking up and not having you next to me was one of the worst feelings I can think of," he said looking at the waves crashing onto the rocks ahead of them.

She smiled put her head on his shoulder watching the water. "How'd you know where to find me?" she asked.

"Erik," he said leaning his cheek against the top of her head. "He always told me where you were," he said remembering there games of hide and seek when they where younger, his hand snaked onto her lap so he could grab onto hers and she entwined their fingers.

"Erik," she said shaking her head. "What would I do without him? I was about ready to run again, I was so close to packing my bags and heading straight for Paris or Fiji but then I remembered what he said and I looked at you and realised I love the feeling of waking up in your arms, looking into your eyes and being reminded of summer and fun on the most depressing days, how you'll do the weirdest things just to make me laugh and just knowing that you'd never hurt me. I decided I'd rather stay and fight to be with you then leave and hurt both of us like I did before."

"You have nothing and no-one to fight silly, I'm yours," he said repeating the words she said the night before, he couldn't help the enormous smile on his face and the way his heart swelled with joy when she told him she's staying just for him.

"Stop teasing me and just kiss me," she said rolling her eyes at him and pulling him closer so she could kiss him.

"I love you," he whispered when he pulled away to look into her eye's, he could feel her smile and her eyes sparkled. "Are you sure? So soon after him, are you sure you want to do this, I told you I'd wait as long as you want me to, I don't want to be the rebound guy."

She giggled, "You could never be the rebound guy Natie, you're the bound guy," she said kissing him again.

"We're going to get sick," he said as the rain got heavier.

"Hmm I don't care," she said her lips still attached to his.

"So are we like dating?" he asked with a smile.

"Oh we are so dating," she said smiling back and kissing him again. When the raindrops started to come down so fast it hurt he made her stand up and walked back to the house with her kissing her hair and lips every time she turned to him. "I love you," she whispered just before they entered the house.

"Good morning Serena, Nate," Blair sang when they got into the kitchen with a huge knowing smile on her face which made Serena cringe a little.

"Nathaniel, congratulations on decking Humphrey," Chuck said smirking a little and putting his hand out.

Nate rolled his eyes at him but shook his hand anyway. "How do you two know about that," Serena asked.

"Gossip Girl," Blair replied like it should have been obvious. "So Brooklyn got angry and you had a fight and broke up with him, how heartbreaking. What she didn't report was the two of you getting together after that."

"That's because it only happened just now," Nate said sharing a look with Serena who smiled up at him.

"You know there was a time when I thought Blair and Chuck were the most sickening couple you could ever look at," Erik said looking at his sister and Nate. "I think they just got competition."

"Shut up Erik," Serena squealed laughing at her little brother. "Come here," she said extending her free arm to him and hugging him as tight as she could. "Thank you," she whispered just for him to hear and he smiled and kissed her cheek.

"S, I don't think he can breathe anymore," Blair said laughing at them.

"I think it's time we go out together, to show of the new couple of our group," Chuck said.

"I think I'll pass," Erik said raising his hands. "The last few times I had Nate as company but now you guys are all gonna kill me."

"You just don't want to come because now you can have the house to yourself," Nate said rolling his eye's and Erik smiled.

"Then it's settled tonight is date night!" Blair shrieked. "It's going to be perfect."

"You said that yesterday and look what happened," Serena said staring at her best friend.

"I promise to restrain myself tonight sis," Chuck said.

"I think I'm too young for this conversation," Erik said laughing at them and walking out of the room.

"Little bro still has a lot to learn from me," Chuck said smirking.

"No way Chuck," Serena screamed. "He's becoming enough like you already, I don't think I can handle anymore," she said putting her face in her hands dramatically and leaning into Nate's chest so he could hold her. Chuck, Blair and Nate just laughed at her.

"S I have to know though," Blair said looking at Serena seriously. "Will you be ok going out with Nate after everything that happened yesterday? Will you be able to handle the gossip and Dan's accusations that you're moving on too fast?"

Serena looked at Nate who smiled at her and squeezed her hand. "Yeah, I will be," she said still looking into Nate's eye's.

"Cabbage Patch wouldn't dare say anything," Chuck said with a smirk. "He's too afraid of Nathaniel but we could keep this a secret until the break-up blows over."

"I think that would be the best idea, besides I just feel like staying in and being with you guys," Serena said looking at her best friend and step brother. "We haven't had a good non-judging breakfast club moment since Humphrey," she said and Blair giggled with her, the boys just shook their heads.
