Chapter 3

Blair's pov

You give the saleswoman your credit card to pay for your new boots and a new Chanel bag. It's cute. The boots are sexy. Black and go all the way above your knee. According to the saleswoman who has been babbling about these damn boots for two hours, they're Karl Lagerferd favourites. Great. Who cares?

You pay for all of it and leave the store. You also bought a new bag for Jenny. It's all black. Really cute. She is next to you saying thank you when you suddenly pull her into a hug.

"it's ok. It was a gift Little J. don't worry about it" you say.

She hugs you tightly and when she pulls apart she says "ohh you're so sweet Blair. Thank you"

You laugh. "sweet? That's a new one"

She also laughs and changes the subject "so, who is coming over tonight?"

"Kati, Isabel, you and Serena. I didn't feel like inviting anyone else" you answer.

"it's ok." You get into the SUV, a gift from your mother. Jenny climbs into the passenger seat. "so how is everything with my brother?" she finally asks.

Yeah. Little J. is the only person that knows about you and Cabbage Patch. And it wasn't even your intention that she knew. She had walked into your room that afternoon to find you sobbing next to a little white box. She had hugged and calmed you down and when you had finally become yourself again, she asked what was going on.

You couldn't lie to her. Even though her eyes were fair and her brother's were dark brown they shared the same look. The looked at you with their heart.

So you told her everything. About how you would spend every night in the room next to hers without her knowing. And how you were already falling after a month and half with her brother. And also about the fight between you and Dan that noon.

And what surprise you is that it didn't surprise you that she understood. She had picked an outfit for you and told you you guys were going shopping. And you loved her for that. At that exact moment, she was taking the place that a few months back had been Serena's. And it felt good.

So you guys went shopping. None of you bought anything except for the bags and your boots but it felt good being together. Even though she was a couple of years younger than you she was fast becoming a great friend…

"we still haven't talked. I left my phone at home on purpose". She nods silently.

"are we having pizza tonight?" Jenny asked, changing the subject.

A few weeks, ago, you would have looked down at her for suggesting that idea. But tonight you needed to be free for once. And a good slide of pizza sounded just great.

"yeah… we're having pizza" and you winked at her.

Dan's pov

"Hey I can't talk to you right now. Probably 'cause I'm busy planning a party o hanging out with BF Nate or my BFF S.. But if you leave a message after the beep—"

you hung up.

She had recorded that message a few months back, but only you and Blair knew that the "BF" had changed. And she was talking about change it again soon and recording something like "hey can't to talk to you right now. Probably 'cause I'm walking around Brooklyn with Cabbage Patch. By the way he says hi. Leave a message after the beep. Bye!"

At this point you didn't know if she wanted to change it now. You were confused. It had never happened to you before with her. She was simple. Or maybe not simple, but somehow you got her. And that made her simple for you.

You had always been confused with Serena. Did she want to be with you? Were her family problems too much? Did she love Nate? Was Blair stealing attention from you?

That was your entire relationship. That was the reason you didn't wanna have anything to do with her anymore.

Or did you?

Somehow your mind and your heart trailed back to a month and a half before…

FLASHBACK

"I can't do this anymore. You and I… we have nothing in common. I thought I had moved on from that but…it's not simply that …you don't even care if we spend time together. We're supposed to be dating right?" Dan asks completely frustrated. "this the 5th date you've cancelled Serena. The 5th!" you let out a sigh.

"ok, ok I know. I'm sorry" she apologies over the phone.

"that doesn't do it this time. I…I think we need a break Serena" finally. You've said it.

"are you breaking up with me?"

"no, I'm not. I just need some time. I'm not telling you I'm gonna stop talking to you or something like that. We can still be friends. I just…I need a break. I hope you can understand.

"ok…I guess I do." She says quietly "but there is still a chance we get back together?".

Your answer is automatic. You're not even sure you meant it. "of course Serena. Of course. I care about you too much."

"ok" there is hope in her voice. "I'll see you tomorrow at school then?"

"sure thing. See you tomorrow."

You didn't know if you had done the right thing.

But when later that night you are in the arms of petite brunette who makes you crazy, like Serena used to, you just forget about everything.

But just like her…you know morning comes too soon.

END OF FLASKBACK

You wanted…you didn't know who you wanted. But all you knew is that Blair being mad wasn't helping you. You needed her. You needed everything to be ok between the two of you. You will deal with Serena later.

So you called her once again…

AN: i hope you like it...thanks to all of my rewievers

you've been great...i really appreciate all you've told me
