A/N: :D see that? BIG SMILE! I thank everyone for all your kind words and thoughts towards my last chapters. I have just been overwhelmed by the responses and writing these chapters is worth all the kind words I am receiving so thank you! :D

I am super duper excited for tonight's episode! Hope everyone else is too! Enjoy this!

voiletgirl-Firstly, thank you for reading! The question about Evie's virginity, for the sake of how I wrote it last chapter, Zach assumed she had been with other guys, in a sense that she didn't flaunt herself like S but she wasn't notorious for her purity like her mother for so long. And I am not sure if I will bring Chuck into knowing about what happened! Ha! Hope this helps! Thank you so much for your kind review and I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Diana-You're a babe! Need I say more? ;)

Disclaimer: I do not own Gossip Girl unfortunately! But I do own Ed Westwick…true fact! ;)

Glancing down at the numerous messages and missed calls from Mia and her parents, Evie swallowed deeply before shoving her phone back in her clutch, reminding herself to make sure they all believed her phone had died the previous night.

"Are you ready?" Zach stepped behind her, kissing her cheek as he came in front of her, a calm look on his face.

"How can I tell them? I- what will they think!" She began to panic as her chest started to heave a little.

"Hey, hey…breathe. I will be there with you, whatever you need. They deserve to know, he's not getting away with this." Zach reassured, caressing her flushed cheeks with the pads of his thumbs before he went to kiss her forehead which seemed to slow her breathing.

"You don't know my family, they-my Mom and Dad are very powerful…what about Uncle Nate-" the few seconds of calm went to waste as she began to panic again, going through all the possibilities in her head, willing it all to be a big practical joke.

"I know your family. My Dad didn't exactly have the best track record with the Basses and whatever the consequences are for Ben; his parents deserve to know what sort of person he is. Nothing bad is going to happen anymore…we'll get through this." He promised, feeling Evie flinch at his name.

"The quicker it's done, the quicker we can move on." He nodded in encouragement as Evie took his hand in hers, tightly grasping it as they headed towards the elevator.

Stepping into the elevator, she pulled his hand closer to her body, enveloping it with both hands as she sighed.

"Thank you for the clothes by the way…" She added quietly without looking up to him, just thankful he had sent out for some clothes and a scarf which could hide the evidence of that night ever happening.

Kissing her head in acknowledgment, the elevator started its decent.

"Where is she Chuck? I have been calling and calling! Mia doesn't know where she is, neither does Teddy. Have the hotel security told you anything else?" Blair announced frantically as she paced Chuck's home office, Chuck sitting twiddling his thumbs as he counted his wife's paces.

It was past noon and no one had heard from Evie. Only Chuck had been informed of a incident concerning Ben Archibald and his daughter the evening prior but not what the incident was about.

"Blair. Can you stop pacing; you're making me dizzy, just sit. Evie is responsible; there will be a reasonable explanation when she gets back. And no, they haven't been able to give my anymore information, only that she left with a boy who seemed very familiar with?" He quoted as he tried to settle to panic, standing from his seat and coming to stand with Blair who had only just stopped walking erratically.

"Are you listening to yourself? We got a phone call this morning concerning Benjamin Archibald being escorted from a hotel while our daughter left with a guy who could be anyone! Since when did you get so blasé about your little girl!"

"Since she grew up and I promised her my trust. Blair, stop assuming the worst. We've did much worse in our day than not answering our phones to our parents. And as for Ben, his drunken antics are nothing to go by what Nate and I used to get up to. She'll be here and I have Mike looking as we speak." He assured, rubbing her bare arms soothingly as he stepped in to kiss her head.

"Fine. But if you're wrong-" She threatened, pulling her arms around his neck for a hug for her reassurance more than his as he reciprocated, wrapping his strong arms to loop her waist.

Interrupted by a knock at the door, they both separated and turned to see who it was.

Turning to see Dorota, they waited for her to speak as she stood with no significant expression.

"Miss Evie has arrived home…and she is with young man…" Dorota told with a raise of her eyebrows, opening the door fully for the two Basses to follow her.

Raising her eyebrows at Chuck, Blair turned to the door and the trio followed the path down to the living area where Evie was waiting.

Stepping down the final steps of the staircase, Blair's eyes set upon Evie and her guest, automatically knowing who the boy was and confirming her suspicions a few days prior about Evie's worries.

"Thank god you're home safe. Where have you been all night?" Blair jumped straight in, hugging Evie tightly before pulling back to look at her in the eye, noticing she had dark circles and her unusual choice of attire.

"I-" Evie started but was interrupted by Chuck who stepped forward, next to his wife, glancing an eyeful at Zach who stood proud, not wanting to seem fragile, for Evie's sake.

"I'm assuming this is the gentleman who escorted you from the hotel last night? Care to explain what happened with Ben before I go and ask him myself?" Chuck shot, eyeing Zach with a stern eye.

"Erm…this is-"

"I'm Zach-"

"Baizen." Chuck and Blair said in unison as Evie and Zach looked at them curiously.

"Yeah…Evie needed my help last night so I picked her up from the hotel…she erm-" Zach ignored the strange exchange and continued with an explanation as Evie stood numbly at his side.

"Help with what?" Blair interrupted, scrutinizing her daughter's expressions closely as she waited.

"Can we not do this here please", Evie stressed as she begun to walk to the nearest seat she could find, Zach following closely as she grabbed his hand and pulled him with her.

"I want an explanation Evelyn Bass and I want one right now, I have been worried sick-" Blair started, raising her voice before Chuck stepped in.

"Blair." He warned, touching her shoulder, snapping her out of her momentary lack of composure.

Shaking Chuck's hand off, she gave in to his encouragements and sat down opposite her daughter and Zach while Chuck remained standing, only just noticing his daughter clenching the boy's hand tightly as they sat closely together.

"Evie? Why was Benjamin Archibald escorted from one of my hotels last night?" her father asked straight to the point as he began to pace a little, waiting for a solid answer.

Taking a noticeable deep breath, she began her story, glancing to her side as Zach nodded in confirmation, still holding her hand.

"After Cotillion, Ben invited me up to a room he'd book so we could talk…" Evie swallowed deeply as she registered her mother rolling her eyes, knowing exactly what she was thinking.

When Evie didn't continue straight away, Chuck spoke again.

"Go on." He nodded, gaining a shake of her head from Blair in Chuck's direction, sensing a swift change in mood as Evie sat looking very anxious.

"We were talking and everything was fine…we were just sat and then he was erm-" She choked, unable to look at her parents as did so.

As Evie's breathing became laboured, Chuck and Blair witnessed Zach whispering something in her ear before leaving a chaste kiss on her cheek as she looked up to Blair with silvery orbs, searching for help.

"Sweetie…what happened?..." Blair encouraged with no luck, sensing she should at least take a guess.

"Did you kiss?..."

By this point, Evie was now crying and Chuck couldn't help but fight the tightening in his chest as he looked to his daughter and the boy sat next to her, comforting her as he just watched the whole exchange, waiting for more.

Nodded rapidly, Evie looked away from Blair and up to her father in a quick glance before continuing eventually.

"He-I- I- told him to stop…I didn't want it to happen but he just wouldn't…I-" She sobbed, gripping onto Zach as tightly as she could before she felt Blair come up in front of her, kneeling on the ground in front of her daughter.

"Baby, breathe. Calm down…" She soothed, rubbing her daughter's arms soothingly.

Turning for a moment, Blair looked behind to see Chuck stood, pinching the bridge of his nose as he shook his head.

"I know this is horrible but we need to know what happened so we can fix this…Evie, please…"

"He wouldn-wouldn't let me go and I screamed for help and-I-I- was so scared… I-I kick him and then…then I was in the bathroom- I- didn't know what to do…" She cried deeper a she buried her head into her lap as Blair hugged onto her baby girl tightly, tears forming in the corners of her eyes as she held her.

Still sat next to Evie, Zach looked up to find Chuck sat staring into thin air, hand on head as he took it all in.

"She rang me and I could tell something wasn't right as soon as I heard her voice. I went straight to the hotel and found Ben in the room. He is supposed to be my best friend and I had no idea he would do such a thing…I found Evie locked in the bathroom and I took her back to mine. She wasn't fit to go anywhere in the state she was in…" Zach explained as Chuck looked up and nodded to the boy.

"You did the right thing. Thank you." Chuck gestured to Zach as he stood, giving the boy a nod before asking some more questions.

"I care a lot about your daughter, Sir. I'm just ashamed to have ever called Ben my best friend…" Zach admitted, shaking his head to the ground.

The admission was something Chuck hadn't exactly wanted to hear right now but he had expected it. He would have been lying if he said he didn't have an inkling about his daughter's relation with Zach.

"What happened to Ben when he was escorted out?" Zach enquired.

"I was told he was pretty beat up after you left but I was informed that he was sent home in a taxi. He won't be there for long…" Chuck said under his breath, eyeing Zach as he suggested the state of Ben when he was escorted out of the building.

The moment Evie heard her father's remark, her head snapped up and she wiped her wasted tears quickly away.

"No. Daddy you can't! Please!" She panicked, shaking her head.

"You don't have a say in this. He forced himself on you and I am not going to let him get away with what he did, even if he is Nate's son." Chuck said sternly before Blair quickly stood and walked to Chuck.

"Mom! Tell him please! I-I can't have everyone judging me when they find out! I can't- please!" Evie pleaded as she collapsed against Zach in another bout of tears.

The guilt hit Chuck as soon as the first tear dropped, looking away from the cries was all he could do right now.

"Chuck. I understand what he did was wrong and I agree that he deserves to be punished but you can't involve the police. He is your best friend's son." Blair stressed.

"Evie, please can you go to your room while I talk to your father. Dorota will show Zach out." Blair shot sternly as Dorota conveniently walked into the open plan room.

"No. I want Zach to stay. Please." Evie protested and the look in the eye told Blair she wasn't about to change her mind.

Instead of arguing, Blair brushed them off as she turned back to Chuck with a strict look.

"The office. Now."

Rolling his eyes, Chuck took his phone out of his pocket before dialing a number and putting it to his hear before walking back up the stairs.

"We have nothing to talk about, Blair. I will not have that boy walking around like nothing happened when he nearly raped my daughter!" Chuck yelled, after Blair stepped into the office, still thankful the room was sound proof.

"He is a teenage boy who made a mistake. Trust me when I say I will make his life a living hell when I get my hands on him but I will not have one of our best friend's hating us because we handed their son in to the police!" Blair shouted back.

"He'll be safer in a cell if I get my hands on him. I want him to suffer for what he did to my daughter!"

"I know you do. And we both know you didn't exactly always wait for an invitation with women. Remember Jenny Humphrey on the roof? And don't think I don't know about you and Serena the week she came back from boarding school." Blair reminded, making Chuck stop to look at her with solemn eyes before dropping his head.

"I know better than anyone that I haven't had the best track record with women but do you know what?" he asked, finally looking up to make eye contact with his wife.

"What?" she asked quietly waiting.

"I wish my father, or someone would have punished me for it because I was a horrible person and I am truly disgusted to have ever treated a woman in that way. You know how ashamed I am of my actions and that's why I can't let my little girl down. I want him to suffer for the pain he caused her." Chuck admitted as he went to the window, letting his head drop against it as he looked out onto the city.

"You could never let her down. Ben deserves to be punished and I understand that you want to teach him a lesson but let his parents do that. You can't stand here and tell me at the age of seventeen you would have wanted to suffer such repercussion as you're lining up for Benjamin." Blair argued as she came up behind Chuck, looping her arms around his waist from behind.

"No one wants to suffer consequences, Blair but maybe after all of it I would have still been taught a lesson and maybe, just maybe our games wouldn't have started like they did and I wouldn't have treated you so badly…" he snapped, stepping out of her hold and behind his desk as she watched his movements; following him as he did.

"That is in the past and you have no idea what influenced the games which occurred between us. What happened with other women has no relation to us. It takes two to tango Chuck, so don't you dare go blaming yourself for what we both did." She shot, hurt that he'd even bring this up.

"You don't know that! It took losing you to stop me for taking advantage of people, emotionally and sometimes physically and Ben may not have that luxury like I did with you…" He started to argue again.

"…You don't know what it's like to be in that situation. Evie got away this time but what about someone else? I know that if Humphrey hadn't got there in time and pulled me off Little J, I probably wouldn't have stopped. I don't want to be the person who could have preventing someone else getting hurt…"

"Ben is not you and whatever you may feel towards his actions, the past is the past. I agree he will suffer our repercussions and his parents' but think of your daughter. She has to go to school everyday and she doesn't want that hanging over her head. Please, Chuck. Think about what I'm saying and don't do anything you'll regret. You need to put your daughter first, not your anger." She finally settled, walking to him where he stood numbly looking at the floor.

Placing her hand to his left cheek, she left a chaste kiss on his right before she left the room.

Shutting the door firmly behind her, Blair walked down the hallway in search of her daughter.

When she found her bedroom door shut, she paused for a moment, thinking about the exchange she had witnessed in the living room and the discussion she had had with her daughter the evening before everything turned bad.

They way Zach had stood slightly in front of her on their arrival, somewhat protectively and the way he held her hand and kissed her softy on her cheek; there was something about this boy that felt right. A strange feeling she hated to deny she felt with Chuck all those years ago.

Pushing the door handle down softly, the door quietly swung open with Blair's hand as her eyes landed upon Evie laid asleep on her bed facing Blair with Zach behind her, his arms tenderly wrapped around her waist as his head rested on her shoulder, as if he had been whispering something in her ear before they fell to sleep.

Feeling her heart clench at the sight, she sighed deeply as she felt a strong pair of familiar arms circle her body, sending a warm chill done her body.

When his neatly shaven cheek was met with hers, she closed her eyes tight and inhaling his scent, hugging him closer to her as they watched their daughter.

"He has no idea what he's letting himself in for…" Chuck whispered as he felt Blair hug back with a tilt of her head.

"Neither did I…" Blair whispered back, closing the door.

A/N: There will be more discussion to come with Chair and with Nate and his son but I hope this was a good enough little taster to keep you satisfied for a few days. Would love to know what you thought :D sorry for any spelling mistakes and if you have any questions or queries as to character reactions in this chapter, don't hesitate to ask :D Thank you!
