A.N. First off, thank you again for all the reviews. It means so much to know what you all think of the story. It's been a really great run so far and I am so sad to be closing out all the storylines. The next chapter is going to be a lot of revelations. You'll finally get to know more of Chuck's past and it's quite overwhelming. This chapter is pretty short, I wasn't sure if I was going to be able to meet my deadline for this week but luckily I managed. Your reviews are really motivating so I made sure I got this chapter up. The cliffhanger is torture, but believe me the next chapter will be longer and totally worth it. Anyway, enjoy :) Please leave reviews!

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe I was looking in all the wrong places

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe I was searching all the wrong places

If I knew you were coming for me I would have stayed in one place

If I knew you were coming for me I would have made my peace

Maybe I was wrong

Maybe I was dreamless and full of suffering

Maybe I was wrong

-Everly

"Do you not realize what just happened?" Serena and Blair heard Louis yell at Chuck once they found them in Louis' room.

"Louis, calm down! Of course I do, but this is good," he reasoned

"How is this good? I was just humiliated at my own wedding. I-" he stopped once he found Serena

"I'm so sorry, Louis. I didn't mean for it to happen like that," she quickly said

Louis looked away from her

"Of course you did!" everyone turned to the doorway and saw a furious Queen, "First you leave him heartbroken and now you humiliate him in front of this entire country! I warned you about interferring and now you've done it. I will make sure you never see my son again!" she meant every word

"No. You can't do that, mother," everyone turned to look at Louis

Mrs. Grimaldi turned around to face her son, shock on her face

"Excuse me?" she asked

"Serena didn't do anything but save me from marrying someone who is a liar and a cheat. You can't punish her for that. I won't let you," he said sternly

"I don't care what you want, Louis. She's ruined your life so much already I won't let her do it again."

"No, mother. You are wrong. The only way Serena has ruined my life is when she's not in it. I love her, mother. Even if I never learned the truth about Jenny, I don't think I would have gone through with saying 'I do.' There is only one woman I want to call my wife and she's standing right behind you."

Serena's face lit up. She couldn't believe Louis was standing up for her. For them.

"Listen to me, Louis. You are still upset about Jenny. You are not thinking straight."

"Mother, I'm sorry, but I love Serena. Nothing you do or say can or will change that."

"You have a country to run. You have obligations. A real relationship will get in the way"

"How can you say that, mother? What about you and father? Are you saying you don't love each other?"

Mrs. Grimaldi sighed

"Of course we love each other. But the difference is that we both wanted this life."

With that Louis didn't say anything and the Queen smiled, knowing she was right.

"I may not want this life, but I'm willing to live it if it means being with Louis," Serena chimed

"No, you have to be fully committed otherwise it will not work. I will not have you humiliate or break his heart again. You've left once before, I won't take that chance with you again," she warned

"But it's not up to you," stated Louis firmly

"This is ridiculous. You are going to leave here tonight," she looked at Serena, "and never come back. If you do, I will make certain you are arrested. End of discussion."

WIth that, she stormed outside.

No one said anything for awhile until Blair finally spoke up

"So, what happens now?"

"Serena and I are going to go into hiding," Louis stated matter of factly

Serena, Chuck, and Blair both looked at him with wide eyes

"It's the only way," he confirmed

"Louis, I don't want to go into hiding again. It will get us nowhere," Serena admitted

"It may not get us anywhere right now, but it will give us time. My mother is sworn to her word, she will have you arrested. If we go into hiding, we can come up with a plan. We just need time," he explained to her.

Serena looked into his eyes and knew he had a point

"Where will you two go?" asked Chuck

"The cabin," Louis stated

"That's the first place they'll look," Blair stated

"That may be true, but they won't be able to find us. Not if we go to the secret room within the cabin," Louis explained

"Secret room?" Serena and Blair asked in unison

"Louis and I built it ourselves a few years ago. It's hidden behind the closet in what was your bedroom, Blair," Chuck explained

"And no one else knows of it?" Serena asked

"No one but us," Louis confirmed

"OK, then let's go," Serena agreed.

Louis smiled as he grabbed her hand then he turned to Chuck

"Can you two wait here and inform us of what's going on?" asked Louis

"Of course," Chuck promised

"Thank you," he said as they both headed out

"Well, I was not expecting this day to turn out like this," Blair finally spoke

"What, you didn't think something unexpected would come up? Isn't that what you were hoping for?" he asked

"Of course, but I wasn't expecting it to be that," Blair admitted

Once Blair and Chuck headed back downstairs in the chaos, they heard numerous rumors going around. From Louis knowing about the affair to Jenny doing it on purpose as a payback for him running away with Serena. The worst one Blair heard was about her. Apparently she was sleeping with Louis, Chuck, and Arthur to cause this whole wedding debacle.

She couldn't think about that rumor much longer because her and Chuck were surrounded by security a few seconds later.

"The King and Queen need to speak with you," one of the guards spoke

Once in front of the royals, Blair and Chuck waited for them to speak

"Where are Louis and Serena?" asked the Queen

"We don't know," Chuck responded as Blair stayed silent

"Stop lying, Charles," spoke the King

"They left right after you spoke with them. They didn't tell us where they were going and I can only assume that it was for this reason. To protect us. I'm sorry, but I can not help you," explained Chuck

"Do you have idea at all where they could be?" asked the King as he quieted his wife who was about to accuse Chuck of lying

"No, I'm sorry but they can be anywhere," replied Chuck

"They are lying, I know it!" accused the Queen

"He says he doesn't know so let us leave them be. We will find them. They couldn't have gone very far," comprised the King

"So, what? You are just going to let them go? They need to be punished."

"And for what exactly? They did nothing wrong."

"They humiliated us in front of everyone! They-"

"No, Jenny did that herself. No one made Jenny sleep with Arthur. That was all her doing. From what I can gather, they had no intention of ruining this wedding. They had no part in this."

The Queen was furious with his decision, but she kept silent. She let out a frustrated sigh and left the room.

"Thank you, Mr. Grimaldi," spoke Chuck

"If I find out that you are indeed lying, I will make sure you are punished. You understand?"

They both nodded as they headed back to Chuck's bedroom.

Chuck immediately dialed Louis' phone

"Hello, is everything ok?" Louis answered

"Are you there already?" asked Chuck

"Yes, we're here."

"Good. Now once we hang up, you have to destroy your phone. We don't know if they might have added a tracker in there or something."

"How will I get a hold of you?"

"Jack and Joe. We'll have to send letters. It's the only way," reasoned Chuck.

"OK. Well, I guess it's goodbye for now."

"I guess it is. Good luck, brother," Chuck replied

"You too," Louis stated and with that they hung up

"So, what now?" Blair asked

"We wait," replied Chuck.

"Are you OK?" she asked, knowing how hard it must have been to say goodbye to his best friend

He nodded,

"Now listen, I know Mrs. Grimaldi and she'll have surveillance on us 24/7 so I think it's best if we stay at your place for a few days. She can't eavesdrop or bug your place," he explained

"OK, I'll have Vanya come pick us up," agreed Blair

Once Vanya arrived, they headed back to her place.

"What is going to happen to Arthur?" Blair suddenly asked, curiosity getting the best of her

Chuck sighed,

"I have no idea. I just know that his life won't ever be the same," he answered

"I guess not all of us can have a fairytale ending," whispered Blair

Once they arrived at the Waldorf house, Blair was furious to find Caroline's car parked in the driveway.

"What the hell is she doing here?" Blair nearly shouted at Vanya

"I do not know, Miss Blair. She was not here when I leave," spoke Vanya

"Calm down, Blair. Let's just go inside and see what she wants," reasoned Chuck

"Fine. Let's get this over with," Blair grimaced

Once inside, they were greeted by Caroline's smiling face

"Why hello. Long time no see."

"What do you want, Caroline?" Blair asked

"Fine. You want to do this quick, I'll get straight to the point. You give me back this house and your father's money and I won't turn your boyfriend here into the police."

"What are you talking about, Caroline?" asked Blair

"Well, I see he still hasn't told you about his past, has he?" smirked Caroline, "Well, it is quite a history you've got."

Chuck's face grew tense.

"What is she talking about, Chuck?" Blair asked, noticing how nervous he was

"It's nothing. Nothing you need to know," Chuck said, sternly

"Oh, but shouldn't she? Even though we have had our differences, I still do care about her. And I can only imagine you do as well otherwise why would you still be here? So, why don't you just tell her?" she began as she made her way to Chuck and whispered in his ear, "Or do I have to do that myself, murderer?"

Chuck closed his eyes tightly, waiting for Blair's words

"Chuck, what is she talking about?" he could hear the pain in her words and imagine the tears streaming down her face

He took a deep breath, eyes still closed

"It's true. I'm a murderer," he confirmed
