AN: So even though I should be resting because I am very sick and on doctor's orders, I wanted to write this. Now I know I said that I would do another Dan/Chuck confrontation, but try as I might I could not get it to fit. I figure that since I plan to do a sequel based on Blair and Chuck's revenge that it wasn't needed and so this is going to be the last chapter of this story.
When Chuck got a call from security at the Empire telling him that a woman was on the roof and they were afraid she may be a jumper, he knew exactly who it was and why they were up there. So instead of letting his security teams handle it he told them that he would take care of it. That was the reason he found himself opening the metal door that would lead to the rooftop and as he had assumed earlier Blair Waldorf stood at the edge of the building looking down at everything beneath them.
Not wanting to startle her for fear that she may topple off the edge of the building he called her name softly. "Blair what are you doing up here? Is everything alright?"
Even though she had heard him Blair did not turn to look at him. She simply continued to gaze down at the world below. "You know for the longest time I never understood what you found so appealing about rooftops. I had many different theories of course. I thought that maybe you were suicidal or perhaps you were so arrogant that you liked to think of the rooftop as a throne of sorts where you could sit high above the rest of the world and keep watch over your loyal subjects. I understand now though that none of my theories were correct. You come up here because you need an escape. The world is so busy all the time and being here you are away from the rest of the world. You can be free without anyone judging you. You are a watcher Chuck, you live to watch other people, but in return you do not like to be watched. This is your way of avoiding being watched and I never understood and yet now I do."
Taking a step towards her he came to stand almost directly behind her. "In some ways you are right Blair. I come up here because I want to be able to breath for five minutes without having to be Chuck Bass. When I am up here I can just be me without any strings attached. Now are you going to tell me why you are up here? You're not going to jump are you? As much as I love you when I have to jump to follow you it won't be because I am going to rescue you. I don't have super powers and so my jumping would only result in two death's rather than just one."
Blair laughed once though it lacked any humor. She turned around to face him and for the first time Chuck saw that it looked as if she had been crying. "Louis granted me a divorce and while I am happy about it I feel as if I don't know who I am anymore. Ever since the accident I have felt so lost. Do you remember when you told me that we are never going to be safe? Well I think a part of me has always feared that. Chuck I've always loved you and that is never going to change, but when I saw you die it killed me. With Dan it was safe I suppose you can say. He had never hurt me and I never had to watch him die. When I think back on it now I know that if he had died it wouldn't have hurt me as much. I was with him because I could stand losing him, but I couldn't stand to lose you again. I have lost you so many times."
"And yet we are always drawn back together." He reassured her reaching out to take her hand. "You and I are destined Blair and I tried to do the right thing and let you go if it would make you happy, but this is fate showing us that we belong together. We may never be safe, but we will always be us. We are always going to be Blair and Chuck, Chuck and Blair and in my mind that is more important than any amount of safety. I will stand by you through anything because I love you. So whatever you are feeling right now and what you are going through may seem hard, but I will stand by you no matter what."
Before either of them knew what was happening Blair stepped off the ledge and in to his waiting arms. It was almost reverse of the time after his father died when Blair had saved him from doing something stupid. Caressing her hair he held her tightly against him as she actually started to sob. Everything that had been bothering her for the past couple of month's just spilled out until she was bare and stripped back to her original form. Both of them knew that this time things would be different. Neither would allow anything or anyone to tear them apart and the first to go down would be Dan Humphrey.
"Let's go home Chuck together." Blair told him as she pulled away to lace her fingers with his. "I'm sorry it took so long for me to realize what was right in front of me the whole time."
"Timing never was our strong suite." He teased brushing his lips against hers. "I guess that because we are Blair and Chuck we needed to do things our own way. We never were like anyone else. I love you Waldorf and time is never going to change that."
"I love you too Chuck." She admitted knowing that while things wouldn't be easy because they never were in the Upper East Side, it would work out in the end because Blair Waldorf and Chuck Bass always got what they wanted and they would always want each other.
THE END!
AN: So yes I know it had kind of a fluffy ending, but I feel like crap and yet I wanted to finish this. I do plan to do a sequel and I hope that you all liked this. I know that the last chapter was not the best, but I feel they have been through so much and they wouldn't need to have a long talk because it is like they can read each other you know?
Please R&R like always!
