A/N: Sorry I haven't written in SIX MONTHS! (approx.) It's just that school was extremely busy, but now it's over, so I'm back. I hope you guys are still reading this ! :) Please review.

25 years old.

Nate stood in the elevator, whistling the elevator music while contemplating everything Blair had said to him. He didn't believe the fact that she didn't need him.

The elevator dinged and he stepped out into the penthouse. Even after 6 years the apartment was still adorned with her signature scent.

"Hey!" She said, running into his arms. He breathed in the scent of her hair. It made him smile.

"Serena, hey. Or should I say the ex-Ms. Humphrey?" He gave her a smirk.

Serena laughed her 5-year old laugh. "Well, you know me. Can't stay with someone for a very long time." She smoothed out her white sun dress. "So what are you doing here?"

Nate looked down at his hands and thanked Serena's maid who brought him a glass of lemonade. "I need some advice, Serena. I can't sleep."

"Insomnia? Well, I don't know. Maybe drink less coffee?" Serena shrugged.

Nate let out a big sigh. Sometimes she could be so blonde. "No it's –"

"How do I look?"

Nate looked up and he felt his breath catch in his throat. In front of him was Blair. As a bride. His bride.

Blair saw Nate and gave him a small smile. "Hey, Nate. So do I look hot or what?" She gave him a wink.

Nate looked at her, the pain obvious in his eyes. Her beauty hurt his eyes. Because she was looking this beautiful for someone else. Her brown hair was laid out in long waves, and she was wearing a strapless Vera Wang dress with a simple pearl border. Very classic. Very Blair.

Blair stared at him, blinking profusely, waiting for an answer. Nate opened his mouth but he couldn't speak. He jabbed his thumb in the direction of the door and gave a quick wave. Nate leaned back in the elevator and let the tears fall silently.



Blair Waldorf had broken Nate Archibald's heart.

Serena pined the veil onto Blair's hair. "Well, Nate looked upset." She said, stating the obvious.

Blair looked at her reflection and tried to ignore the hole that she felt in her heart. "I'm sure he's just…surprised."

Serena brushed Blair's hair. "Well, of course he's surprised. You're marrying someone other than him. I bet he never imagined that."

Blair gave herself a hard glare in the mirror, as if she was scolding herself for hurting Nate. "Well, he's just going to have to accept it. We were together six years ago."

"Well, some feelings don't disappear, Blair. I know you love Chris –"

"Do I?" Blair cut in.

Serena's eyes widened in shock. "Well, I hope you love Chris. Because the entire island of Manhattan knows that he loves you. Don't break his heart too. You need to choose."

Blair blinked back tears. "I know…but how do I choose between two guys that love me when I don't necessarily love either of them back?"
