As I have said in all my other stories, May has been very busy and I have been unable to update. However that shouldn't be a problem anymore (cross your fingers), Chapter 3!

"I'm sorry, he didn't make it." The nurse told me when I came back after being away only a short period of time. My knee's buckled and I fell to the ground as the news sunk in. Chuck didn't make it that was impossible. He fought hard for everything. I couldn't, wouldn't believe he'd give up so easily. The tears fell fast and effortlessly from my face. He was gone, he wasn't coming back. I let loose a gut wrenching cry, digging my nails into the palm of my hands. Why him? Why now? I wasn't ready to let go. Not now, not ever.
"Can I see him?" I asked the attendant between sobs. She led me to his room where he rested motionless on his bed. All the monitors were off, all the cords and needles taken out of him.
"I'll give you a moment alone with him." The nurse told me, slowly backing out. I walked over to the bed and gazed at him. I pushed his hair out of his face as big globs of moisture fell from my eyes and hit his chest.
"I'm sorry. I'm so, so, sorry." I told him even though I knew it was too late. Soon enough I was interrupted by Serena and Lily. They came in giving me death glares shaking their heads.
"What are you doing here? This is all your fault, I want you gone." Lily snarled.
"Why don't you go away? You aren't wanted here. If it weren't for you and your pettiness he'd still be alive today." Serena agreed shaking her head and giving me a disgusted look.
"But, what are you talking about?" I replied confused.
"You're the reason he's dead. He would've been better off if he never met you." She snapped back.
"Nurse, nurse!" Lily shouted calling for assistance.
"Yes?" The nurse asked looking around the room disorderly.
"I want her removed. I don't want her anywhere near my son." Lily ordered, arms crossed. The nurse left and came back with two orderlies.
"It's time for you to go miss." The taller one told me.
"No, I can't leave Chuck." I said automatically shaking my head. The two men came over to me, each grabbing one of my elbows and dragged me out of there. I went limp on them and dug my feet into the ground.
"No! You can't do this!" I screamed fighting as best as I could to break free. They just picked me up and took me away from the room.

"No, no. I need Chuck. I need to see him. No." I shouted abruptly waking up and jumping out of the chair I was in. My heart was beating fast. I looked around and realized I was still in the hospital, Chuck still unconscious beside me but at least he was breathing. He was still alive, it was just a dream. He wasn't dead. I waited and waited patiently for Chuck to wake up and prove to me once and for all just how alive he was but he never did.
"Blair." My mother said startling me. "Darling are you alright?" She asked coming over and resting her hand on my shoulder.
"No I'm not alright." I replied embracing her in a hug. "Why isn't he waking up, why?" I sobbed into her chest.
"Shh, shh, it's okay. He will, everything will be alright." She told me kissing the top of my head trying to comfort me.
"What's wrong?" Serena asked popping her head in. She immediately went to check on Chuck, relaxing when she found a pulse and saw his chest rising up and then back down.
"Why don't you girls go get coffee?" Eleanor suggested.
"No." I said right away. "I won't leave him." I added stubbornly.
"Blair, you need to go get some air, walk around get some exercise." She ordered.
"Come on B, your mom will keep an eye on Chuck. We won't stay long." She said grabbing my hand and pulling me out the door. I grabbed the wooden frame and fought against leaving but eventually let go and let Serena pull me away. I watched his room and thought about running back to him until we turned the corner and he was out of sight.

Hopefully that was worth the wait? Please review and let me know. There will be a chapter four as to when it will be up I'm not sure. Most likely sometime this week, I'm pretty positive. Thanks for reading!
