Hey all! Thanks for all the great reviews, I've been really busy with school and the musical but I PROMISE I will update again this weekend. (Trust me, after this chapter, you will want me to lol.) If you are interested, I started a new One Tree Hill FF centered around Brooke called "Downward Spiral." Thanks for the support.
"Wh-what?" Chuck could feel the tears building up in his eyes. He had never in a million years expected her to say no, none the less "I just don't know." In his mind there was never any doubt, only yes. Until now. He got up off of his knee and looked her eye to eye, unafraid of the tears that trickled down his cheeks.
"Chuck, I don't know. This past few weeks have been going really fast. Really really fast. Do you think this is such a good idea?" He took a step towards her and took her hands in his own. He didn't know if he could even speak as he was still in shock from the immediate rejection. The words began to spill out of his mouth, quietly and shakily.
"Blair," he choked on his emotions as he spoke, his tears becoming more fierce, "I have never been more sure about anything. You are my one love. You are the closest to heaven that I'll ever be. I know for a fact that we are going to spend the rest of our lives with each other, so I would like nothing more than to be able to call you my wife." He pulled back, wiping his tears on the sleeve of his Armani tux. When she looked into his eyes, she knew that he was speaking from his heart, that he was speaking the truth. She stepped towards him and took his hands.
"Chuck, ask me again." She stated blatently.
"Blair, I—" He started solemnly.
"Chuck!" she interrupted,"Ask me again!" she urged with a slight giggle. He sighed and got down on one knee, thinking that she would say something like, "Maybe Later," or "I'll think about it."
"Blair Waldorf," he said with an almost fake happiness, "Will you marry me?" She smiled and nodded. He raised his eyebrows with intrigue.
"Yes," she laughed, "Yes Chuck, I will." He smiled and looked up at her. She grinned back as he gently slipped the ring on her dainty little finger. He stood up and took her by the waist, spinning her around off the ground, both smiling and laughing and kissing the other in joy. The skirt of her dress twisted behind the happy couple, dancing in the breeze. He set her down just as the string quartet began to play a soft waltz. He motioned his hand toward her, asking for a dance and she happily obliged. They danced and danced, holding each other and kissing in the cool winter breeze. When she shivered, he took off his coat and wrapped it around her before quickly resuming their dance. The roof was silent other than the music. It was an unspoken love that glowed around the three of them, they were going to be a family, a real family. Blair nuzzled her head into his chest as she realized that all of her dreams were coming true. She realized that she was finally going to get the family she had always wanted. The family she always deserved.
After what seemed like an eternity of just holding each other, Blair's cell phone went off in her purse. The first time, she let it ring to voice mail. The second time it rang, her and Chuck became irritated. The third time, Blair let it ring until it hit voice mail. She looked up at Chuck with apologetic eyes and broke the dance to turn her phone off. She looked down at the screen. Three voice mails. She dialed her voice mail and listened to every message. Chuck glanced at her from where he stood and watched her face drop. He became puzzled when she ran over with all of her things in hand and tears in her eyes.
"Blair, what's wrong?" He asked. She handed him his jacket and began to pull him by the hand to the elevator.
"We have to go. There's been an accident."
