Hate It Or Love It


Serena van der Woodsen had just entered the Delta Hall and searched the area for anyone she noticed. As she walked in through the crowd, she noticed Blair sitting with two guys, but she knew if she walked over there, Blair would have ignored her. Seeking some attention, she finally found Nate sitting at the bar, sipping a beer. Walking quietly behind him, she placed her soft hands over his face and whispered "guess who". A smile appeared on Nates face, but then faded when he realized it wasn't Blair. He should have known better since the trip that Blair wasn't about to talk to him. She held grudges.

Serena took a seat next to him and ordered a drink. Dipping her hand into her bag, she grabbed her wallet and tipped the bartendor. He winked and went back to helping other customers. Nate sat there quietly, watching the crowd of people walking and dancing around without a care in the world. Serena finished off her drink and then grabbed his hand out to the dance floor.

"Come on! Lets dance!" She shouted over the music. Nate groaned but followed anyways. The music was loud and the floor was rumbling. Serena wrapped her arms around Nates neck and danced closer to him. Without even thinking about it, Nate placed his hands on her waist, and leaned in for a kiss. Serena moved in as well and they both met. Soon enough, they could feel all eyes on them, and as they broke apart, they noticed many faces whispering to one another and Serena saw a flash of short brown hair fleeing from the room. Serena couldn't tell if it was fate that made them kiss, or some horrible curse. Either way, she once again lost her chance of making up with Blair. On the other hand, Nate was in deeper than he could ever imagine. With his luck, Blair would leave New York without a good-bye.

"Come on." Serena whispered to him as she grabbed his hand and pulled him out of the crowd and onto the street. Laughing happily, she called a cab and they both got in.

"Where are we going?" Nate asked. Serena gave him a little smirk and told the cabdriver take her to Ledge View Point. Nate had never heard of it, but shrugged it off. He wasn't in the mood to ask questions.

Almost 25 minutes later of complete silence, Serena looked over at Nate and smiled. She knew that they were only friends, but lately she had felt more of a connection with him than any other guy. Her stomach was full of butterflies and her head was swimming of happy thoughts of the two of them. Her only hope was that Nate had been feeling the same way about her. She knew that this might lower her friendship with Blair, but if they were in a fight right now, there was no harm in trying to get Nate and then make up with her. Her head was spinning with all the things that could go wrong, but the thing that made it better was the fact that she could possibly be with Nate everyday.

The cab pulled over and let them out. Serena paid the cabdriver and they both watched the cab speed down the road and back into the city. Taking his hand, they both walked over to the edge of the cliff, and watched as cars below them drove around. Serena was staring at the stars and then back at Nate, who was already looking at her. She blushed.

"Serena, why did we come up here?" Nate asked, placing his hands into his pockets. He was nervous about why she had been smiling the whole way here, and now that they were alone, he was expected the worst.

"Nate... I this may seem wrong, with Blair and all, but i really want to be with you. Only you." She spoke softly, her eyes avoiding his gaze. A silence came over both of them, and Serena could feel tears forming in her eyes. She looked at Nate, hoping to see something in his eyes, but all she got was the feeling of a heartbreak. Nate looked up at her, but then turned away.

"Sorry, but I dont think it would work. I like you and all Serena, but Id hate to ruin my relationship with Blair like I already have. I think we are best just staying friends. Sorry." Nate finished, and began to walk back to the city. He knew that wasn't what she wanted to hear, but he couldn't deal with girls right this second. Especially since his heart belonged to Blair; and it always would.
