CHAPTER 7:
"LOOK AT THE BRIGHT SIDE"
Serena got out of the cab in front of The Palace. An ambulance was a couple of car lengths ahead. What the hell? She then ran into the hotel and found Chuck talking to someone who seemed to be with the ambulance people. "Chuck!", Serena shouted across the lobby.
Chuck looked up and saw Serena. He politely excused himself from his conversation and walked over to her.
"Chuck, what's going on?"
He glanced over his shoulder to a stretcher. Serena followed his gaze and saw people loading an unconcious Balir onto one. Serena gasped. "She fainted. I guess her bullimia is back." Chuck put his hands in his pockets and looked at his feet. When he finally looked up again, he asked, "How did you know I was here? I don't recall telling you."
"The bartender picked up your phone and told me. He also told me to tell you that he had it delivered to your suite."
"Great." He didn't sound at all excited. Serena glanced back at Blair. She had one of those masks on to help her breathe. The paramedics seemed to be getting ready to put an IV in.
Then, seemingly out of nowhere, Jack appeared beside the step siblings. "What's going on? Someone die?"
Serena carefully looked up at Chuck. He turned his head toward Jack, his face carrying a menacing expression. Then, in one fluid motion, Chuck punched Jack in the jaw. Jack stepped back a couple of steps to keep from falling. Serena clapped her hands to her mouth in shock. She did kind of expected Chuck to punch him, but it still took her by surprise.
"If I EVER see you or even hear about you touching Blair again it will be the last move you ever make. We claer?"
All Jack did in reaction to this was laugh. "Ah. So you know." Chuck just glared at him. "So, how'd you figure it out? Did someone tell you, or did you discover it all by yourself?"
Serena took out Blair's phone and held it open, revealing Jack's message that she herself discovered earlier that day.
"I see...well, Chuck, look at the bright side. At least you're not the only person who knows that Blair is amazing in bed."
Chuck went to lunge himself at Jack but Serena held him back. "He's not worth it, Chuck!"
"If I ever see you again I'm gonna-"
"You're gonna what, Chuck? Send me back to Sydney? Please! I'd just find my way back. Report me? HA! With your record, whose gonna believe you? Huh?"
Chuck just clenched his teeth. Jack smirked, "That's what I thought. See you around, little nephew."
Serena turned to Chuck. "Come on, Blair needs you. It looks like they're taking her to the hospital now."
Chuck inhaled deeply, then exhaled. "Ok." He then turned around and followed the paramedics, lifting Blair into the ambulance.
