Dedicated to Broony! Thanks for all the reviews! I really appreciate them!

Disclaimer: So yesterday I won the lottery and bought the CW Network. Aren't I lucky!? Seriously, I'm thirteen! I can't buy a lottery ticket, even if I wanted to!

He watched her, a tight burning feeling twisting his stomach into knots. A few days after the break up, he had found himself depressed and unable to write. He had come to the Hamptons, hoping to tell her how sorry he was, hoping to get back together. Instead, he saw her kissing Nate Fucking Archibald. Knowing he lost his chance, he attempted to leave the party. He was stopped by two girls, with martinis aloft. They berated him for wearing off-white and dumped their drinks on him, catching the attention of everyone. His eyes met hers and he turned away, swearing. He quickly found the exit and walked away from everyone.

She watched him leave, unsure if to go after him or not. Had he seen the kiss? That had just been a ploy to get somone jealous. She turned to her date, who was looking at her concern splashed across his face.

"Serena, you should go after him. You still love him, don't you?"

She nodded hesitantly before running after him.

She finally found him at the beach. It wasn't hard, he was sitting alone next to a big campfire. He had changed his alcohol soaked clothes, wearing only the same pants from before and a white wifebeater. He was staring intently into the fire, holding a black leather notebook and a pen. She slowly made her way over to him and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey."

She watched his shoulders stiffen as he slowly turned around.

"Serena."

His voice came out bitter, as if he had thought she was dating someone else.

"That kiss with Nate, he wanted to make someone jealous."

"Right. Of course. You didn't have to lie. So you're dating Nate, good for you."

"I'm not dating Nate."

"Yeah, okay sur-"

Determined to get him to shut up, she took his face in her hands and kissed him, daring him to push her away.

She pulled away and whispered into his ear. "I love you. Only you."

She watched as a grin spread its way across his face. "So you're not dating Nate?"

She pushed him down onto the sand and buried her face into his neck. "Will you just shut up and kiss me?"

Okay so, there might be some errors in this and I'm too depressed to correct them. Apparently, my friends tool broke so I have to wait longer till I get my hard drive back and I got a rejection letter. Does that earn me the sympathy vote yet? ;)
