Just want to start by clearing up the previous chapter, as I got a lot of feedback on it.

First, to the comments saying did I enjoy or want to write what happened. Absolutely not. No.

Did i feel like storyline wise it make logistical sense, yes.

If you have read or re-read this whole story (as long as it is)

You'd know that there is history there, Louis attempted it way back in Chapter 16.

I did think about it long and hard before writing it. So don't assume I just did it for my own enjoyment or did it for a quick shock factor.

Logically do you really think if Louis came back for revenge he wouldn't have pre meditated it?

Making sure he could get away with it this time?

I did look into the statistics and look into the long term affects of rape.

I will also note that shows like 90210 (which were airing same time GG was on) did do a story in relation to this topic.

I tried to make it as un-graphic as possible, but I actually need to write it for you as I funnily enough can't visually hint it to you.

Also to note, i've actually been dropping hints on Blair's pregnancy since i came back.

At the end of the chapter i'll put some more information as its an incredibly difficult topic which many many women deal with.

Looking down at his blood soaked hand he had lost two of his fingers as the bullet went through his fingers and hit the wall behind him.

Looking up they all looked back to Blair.

Snatching the gun out of her hand, he used it to smack her across the face as Chuck lost it "You mother fucker, you touch her again and I'll kill you with my bare hands, you hear me?"

"I don't think you are in the place to make threats" Louis scoffed laughing.

"It's not a threat, I'm going to kill you"

"Revenge is a beautiful thing. The greatest revenge I could have, is taking away everything that matters to you. Watching the people you love suffer and die in front of you. That. Will be the greatest revenge I could have on you"

"Then what?" Chuck asked bluntly.

"Nothing"

"That's it? That's your great plan, kill everyone in this room and walk away?"

"No" Louis said still staring at him in the eyes, shaking his head.

"You'll still be here, to live with the pain, knowing you killed your friends, the love of your life. My life" Louis added as he looked at Blair.

"If she is the love of your life, how could you kill her?" Serena asked making her way next to Nate.

"She's tainted"

"Excuse me?" Serena was taken back.

"She's lowered herself to sleep with this pauper"

"Blair slept with me, long before she slept with you" Chuck grinned with a slight laugh.

Cracking his gun across Chuck's smug face, Chuck fell to the side on top of Nate.

As Louis turned back around enraged as he punched a vase on the table to the left of him as parts came crashing onto the floor "I need a drink" he said walking off towards the kitchen.

Serena looked across to Blair who looked to her best friend as she looked at her terrified, "Blair the vase" Serena mouthed and pointed with her hands together, "for our ties" she added as Blair shuffled over as quickly as she could.

Sliding over pieces to them across the floor to them all.

Moving an unconscious Chuck off him he grabbed a piece as Blair looked at her wound and the blood trail that had followed behind her.

Furiously sawing away at the tie around their ankles Blair starts moving over to them all.

Hearing the snap Nate starts on Blair's "Nate" she said with sympathy.

"It's fine. Look if I do you, you can help us quicker"

"I'm the only one allowed to do her" Chuck quipped coming too and making Blair grin ever so slightly.

Hearing the snap of the tie and Louis coming back.

Blair moved over beside them, holding her arms behind her.

Gripping the glass into the palm of his hand, Serena slides hers under her leg and he came back round.

Hearing the crunch of glass under his feet he looks at the remains of Blairs vase.

Looking up Nate knew this was probably the only moment he'll get before Louis realises.

Getting up to his feet, he runs at Louis tackling him as they both crash into the table.

Gun landing on the marble floor, Nate crawled onto Louis punching him across the nose.

Louis threw up his knee and connected straight to Nate's groin making him collapse and call out in agony.

Coughing trying to breath with his forehead pressed into the cold floor, he slides the glass out of his grip and connects with his leg.

Screaming in pain Louis elbows Nate in the side of the face.

Breaking Serena out of her wrist ties as she breaks out of her ankle ones, Blair holds her arms open.

Throwing herself into Blair's arms Serena's face nestled into Blair's neck.

Hugging her tight she whispered into her ear "I'm so scared S"

"I know me too, I can't do this again B"

Blair moved apart "Your okay"

"I cant. I can't go back there" she started crying and having a panic attack.

"Hey, hey look at me" Blair said holding her best friends face in her hands.

"Calm down, take some deep breathes in okay."

Serena couldn't speak through the panic and tears as Blair couldn't help but tear up with her.

"Serena, look at me. Deep breathe in," she said taking one of her own "then out" she finished as she exhaled before repeating.

"Blair, Serena little help" Chuck said moving his hands towards them for their help.

He knew this was their opportunity to take control, as well as Nate needing his help.

Blair continuing to encourage Serena as they both continue taking deep breaths in and out, they began to break Chuck free.

Pushing Nate off him Louis ran his hand across his face before flicking the blood off onto the floor.

Stumbling up and pulling the glass out of his thigh he gets up to his feet, Nate grabs his ankle and Louis crashes head first onto the marble floor.

Crawling on top of him, Louis throws his elbow back square into Nate's face busting open his nose.

Throwing his head back dazed, Nate looks back punching him in the stomach followed by another shot to his kidney.

Throwing a hand back, Louis and Nate started exchanging blows.

Hearing the snap of the ties, Chuck pushes himself up onto his knees.

Putting the glass down Serena and Blair embrace as Chuck picks up both in each hand.

Taking stuttered breaths she finally got her breathing under control as Blair started wiping her tears away "Louis. Ellie?" she asked waiting for her confirmation as Serena nodded.

Both started thinking back to the moment in the hospital.

Walking towards the door, she stood at the doorway taking everything in for a moment. As she watched Serena sit on the edge of her bed with her back to her, it was strange how she could feel her pain without even seeing her.

Knocking softly against the door Serena looked over her shoulder to her, as they stared at one another they didn't need words…the silence between them said everything.

As her lip began to tremble for a moment she turned back around letting her tears escape as she felt herself break down and cry. Before she knew it her best friend's arms were wrapped around her as her limp body fell onto her lap as she began to cry.

Feeling her tears fall against her chest she held her tighter trying to take the pain away as she couldn't help but cry too, "I'm so sorry S" she stuttered brushing the hair away from her face.

"I loved her so much"

"I know you did"

"The thing" she sniffed trying to fight back the tears, "that keeps…replaying in my mind was seeing her lifeless body" she choked and cried harder.

"Hey, shhh. Don't do that to yourself"

"I was meant to protect her Blair, it was my job to care for her"

"You did, it was Louis who took your baby from you. No one else"

"I just miss her"

"I know" she said moving up the bed as Serena lay against her shoulder, still crying her heart out.

"Its okay" Blair soothed feeling a tear fall along her cheek.

"I just don't think I can go through that pain again" Blair looked at her confused

"You wont"

"B, I cant, the pain I felt..I "

"I know, I couldn't bare to see you in that much pain again"

"I'm here, I'm not going anywhere" Blair said holding her hand in support.

Serena nodded as the sobbing continued, "I didn't think it still affected me, I'm sorry. Are you okay? I'm sorry you had to go through that"

"Come here" Blair said pulling her into a hug, "Don't you dare apologise, you've got nothing to be sorry for. I'm so.." she paused trying to find the words as she started crying.

"So ashamed S, if i never met him, none of this would have happened"

Serena just nodded along the side of her face "That may be true, but you have nothing to be ashamed over. He's sick"

"It's okay, I promise I wont let him hurt you, either of you again" Blair squeezed her hand.

"Likewise" Serena replied giving her a kiss on the cheek.

Before Blair could speak she looked down to see Chuck managing to throw himself into Louis tackling him to the ground.

Getting to his feet, Louis picks up Chuck and throws him across the floor towards Blair and Serena.

Getting up and moving over to Nate to help him back up, Louis runs over to knees him in the face before Chuck ducks and he knees the wall behind him.

Falling to one knee Chuck goes to grab the gun from his back before Louis grabs his wrist to pull the gun back. As they start fighting over the gun in his hands.

"Chuck!" Blair screamed.

Dragging him up to his feet, both facing towards Blair, he held Chuck tight into him pointing his gun into his chest. As Nate, Serena join Blair on their feet.

"Louis please, don't do this I know you don't want to do this"

"I have too" he said turning and pointing the gun towards Blair, "I need him to be in as much pain as I have been"

"Blair, I'll always love you" Chuck smiled looking to Nate and giving him a slight nod.

As Nate charged towards Louis and Chuck, Chuck gripped the gun back towards himself, forcing it up and into his chest before pulling the trigger.
