A/N: I am SO sorry about my lack of updates. For both of my stories, I wasn't happy with the chapters I had tried to write. I also want to thank you for your review and alerts, personal thank-yous are at the end =)
I don't know if anyone will notice, but I changed the name of the chapters to the name of several songs. = )

Chapter Five: Broken Vow
You know, a part of me is so glad. They weren't happy… but the other part is afraid.
It's scary. I know.
How do you know? Are your parents divorced?
No, there not. My mom actually died.
Oh, Chuck.
No, it's okay. I was really young.
The turn in the conversation about his mother reminded Chuck about the folded piece of paper that was still in his pocket, from a couple days ago. Chuck walked over to the jeans he had been wearing and took it out. He decided now would be better than any other.
He took out his own cell phone and dialed the number.

"Hello?" It was a man. Chuck didn't answer, taking in his voice. He sounded very familiar.
"Hi, I understand that you…" Chuck couldn't talk. He never thought he would be in this position, so he hung up.
Chuck swore in his voice and realized that he hadn't thought much of this through. What would be his excuse to talking to this man?
Chuck grabbed a piece of paper and a pen from his study and went to sit down at the dining room table, that's where he began his list.

"Blair, I'm glad that you agreed to meet me and Katherine." Karen Louis and Katherine Lucas were her father's and mother's lawyers. Blair gulped and nodded. This day couldn't be avoided even if she tried.
"We thought it would be best to meet with you in person rather than go through your parents. You are old enough to make your own decisions." Blair nodded again. When she had called up a lawyer that her school councilor had suggested, she had explained to Blair that Blair should say as little as possible.
"We don't have many questions; I guess the big one is: who would you like to live with?" Katherine's voice was low and professional. Karen looked at Blair, maternally and gave her a positive nod.
"I haven't given it much thought." Blair lied. For the past two days, all she had thought about was her mom or dad? There weren't many positives; however, several negatives. With her mom, she would never be perfect. But with her dad, there would be a lot of drunken battles.
"Your parents wanted an answer, right away. Whoever gets you also gets the house." Is that what this is all about? They wanted the house, not her? Blair looked down for a moment, digesting everything.
"My mom." She quietly said. Karen and Katherine both took to their pieces of paper and wrote for a good five minutes. Blair sat there rerunning those words in her head.
Whoever get s you… gets the house.
The drive home was lonely for Blair; she had shuffled through the radio and found no music that would help put her mind to peace. When she arrived home, she noticed several men already packing her fathers stuff. Unable to watch it happen, Blair went to her bedroom. When she arrived, she took a look at the open bathroom. The floor looked like the perfect place to breakdown and cry.
That's when it started.
Blair ran to the bathroom, this uncontrollable feeling in her stomach. Slowly, everything she had eaten in sadness came out. Blair didn't want it to stop so she kept pushing.
Finally, Blair felt so weak, that she was having trouble breathing, she stopped.
How did I get here? She pondered.
Her eyes started to feel droopy and Blair realized she needed someone. Her sister had always been there for Blair.
"Chuck." She whispered. Luckily, her cell phone was near and she grabbed it, going to the website.
It's not okay Chuck, none of it is.
Blair did the best she could to stay awake, she needed him to reply.
I want it to be.
I did the stupidest thing today.
What?
I threw up…
Because of what is happening? Did your stomach just react?
The thing is… I forced it.
A/N: I had a lot of trouble trying to figure out where to go with this chapter, but I think it turned out okay. I already have an idea for the ending. I'm really excited about that.
