Hey upper east siders, gossip girl here. Your one and only source into the scandalous lives of Manhattans elite. I know it's been a while, but I'm back, and ready for more. Scandal that is.
Spotted: B and lonely boy reunited in the park…
"Oh, Blair, Hey." Dan said as she walked up. "Hey." She said. "What are you doing here?" He asked. "Taking a walk you?"
"Same. I heard about you and chuck. I'm sorry."
"No, it's okay. It's never really worked between us. I don't know why I built my world around him. You said yourself once that Blair Waldorf is fiercely strong and independent and no man should take that away."
"And I stand by that." Dan said with a little smile.
"Sorry About you and Serena though."
"It's fine, we may not work out as a couple but we're still friends."
"Good. By the way, I'm glad you never were really Gossip Girl. Why did you do it anyway?"
"She said I had to cover for her."
"But why did you? What did she have against you?"
"It wasn't me she had anything against."
"Then who?"
Dan hesitated. He wasn't ready for this to come out Not yet at least.
"You."
"Wait, what?" Blair was confused.
"She said she would release the diary pages that she had if I didn't."
Blair raised an eyebrow.
"But that's a huge thing to say you did. Why would you cover for me? I did damage control after the initial release."
"Well I didn't know that, and at the time, I was still in love with you." Blair looked surprised.
"Oh."
"But that was a long time ago. Things have changed."
"Yes. Things have defiantly changed."
"So, Blair, I could really use a friend right now and I hear the new MoMA exhibit is better with a partner."
Blair let out a small laugh. "Well, I must admit, you were one of my best friends once, and even if I didn't say it then, I did love you once, too."
Dan grinned. "Really?"
"Of course! Dan, I loved you so much! I just couldn't say it at the time because I was scared, and, I'm sorry for that."
"But, why, did you choose Chuck then? After everything he did to you?"
"Because, I thought he was part of who I am, that I didn't know who I was without him. But I realize now that that's not true. I'm sorry." Blair looked down at her feet. Why was she feeling like this? Like she was that girl in the loft in Brooklyn again, telling Dan he had her heart?
"Well, like I said, that was a long time ago."
"Yeah. A long time ago. So, MoMA?"
"MoMA." Dan smiled. He had missed this. He had missed Blair.
