A/N: Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Reviews are what keep me motivated. Usually when I'm motivated I keep writing.
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I do not own Gossip Girl or any of the characters. If I do Blair would be out of the picture and Chuck would be with me. :)
Serena headed back towards Blair when she spotted them. She knew this couldn't be good. She made her way over to Blair as fast as she could. "Stay away from her Chuck. Come on B let's get out of here." Blair let Serena pulled her away from Chuck. She was glad that Serena had pulled her away. She didn't think she had the will power to move. "S I don't want to leave. I'm actually having fun for once in my life and I'm not going to let him run me out of here. Come on, let's go dance." Serena just stared at her best friend in disbelief. Blair could have the world fooled, but Serena knew better. She knew that Blair still cried herself to sleep over him. He broke her heart, and although Blair may have put most of it back together, she knew that there was still a big piece missing. Serena just kept her mouth shut and followed Blair out on the dance floor.
After a while Blair forgot all about her run in with Chuck. She just kept dancing her heart out. For once she cut herself loose; for once she felt free. Then she made a mistake. She glanced over to the bar at the wrong time. He was sitting at the bar drinking his scotch staring at her. Their eyes meet. She couldn't look away. She was surprise that he weren't surrounded by women. Blair finally broke away from his stare. She made her way over to where Serena was dancing. "S let's get out of here." Serena glanced over to the bar where Chuck was still sitting, still watching Blair, and then looked back at Blair whom seem to be trembling a little. She didn't even hesitate as she took Blair's hand and led her to the exit. Blair could still feel Chuck's eyes on her, and one last glanced confirmed this before she stepped out of the club. She could feel the tears coming, but not from her eyes, they were coming from her heart.
By the time they made it back to Serena's the tears had managed to find their way to Blair's eyes and were escaping. "Serena you were right. I'm still in love with him. I thought if I threw myself in work I would forget. I thought that it would make it easier if I didn't return back to UES. There would be less of a chance in running into him. But I knew I couldn't hide forever. His memory haunted me just about every night. Everywhere I went he was always in magazines and in the news. I couldn't escape him. I knew I eventually would have to return back here. I didn't expect to run into him so soon. I felt like my heart is breaking all over again. I don't know what to do anymore." Serena took Blair into her arms. "I know. It's going to be ok. I'm here for you." An hour later Serena manage to get Blair into her pjs. They were now in Serena's room watching Breakfast at Tiffany's and eating ice cream. Double chocolate fudge ice cream to be exact. Chocolate can fix any problem. Serena glanced over and saw Blair sound asleep. She had seen a lot of Chuck in the past eight years. Her mom was his adoptive mom after all, and surprisingly Chuck and Lilly formed a great relationship. She was hoping that Chuck would have been away on business when Blair came back. She knew that this wouldn't be the last time they would encounter Chuck. As Serena drifted off to sleep she knew that this will be a long two weeks.
Blair opened her eyes the next morning and was at first startled. She was definitely not in her own bed, let alone her own house. Then she remembered. She was back in New York at Serena's. Memories of last night came flooding back to her. She saw Chuck last night. She wanted to crawl back under the blanket and never get out of bed. At that moment Serena came bursting through the door with a tray. Blair eyed the tray suspiciously. "And what exactly is this?" "I made you breakfast B." "Serena you don't have to-" "I know, but you're a guest in my home, and I'll do as I please. I've missed you B. This is just my way of thanking you for coming to visit and you know all you've done for me. By the way I told my mom that you're in town and she insisted on having dinner tonight." "Perfect. I've missed you're mom. Can't wait to see her." "That's not all. She wanted to throw a party for you. But I talked her out of it. I knew you didn't want to make a big fuss about your visit. I had talked her out of it until I mention my new position in the company. She insisted a party right then. To celebrate my promotion and you're homecoming visit. I couldn't talk her out of it. And to give you a fair warning he'll probably be there too." "Serena you know how I just love parties. Don't worry about that arrogant jerk. Last night I did a lot of thinking. It's time to let go. I've been holding on to the past for too long. I need to stop focusing on what could have been. Now we have a party to attend to tonight, and that requires shopping for the perfect outfits. But before the shopping I have to visit my mother dearest, and you are coming with me." After hours of searching for the perfect dress to wear tonight, Blair was about to give up. Then she spotted it. It was a white halter top gown with diamonds decorating the top. It had a slip half way up to her hip. The dress made her feel sexy yet still elegant at the same time. It was perfect.
"Blair if we don't leave now we are going to be extremely late." Blair took one last look in the mirror. "S do I really look ok?" "You look absolutely stunning." Blair smiled because she knew it was true. She had a diamond necklace with matching diamond earrings that went perfectly with her dress. Her hair framed her face in curls, and her make-up was perfect. "Ok S, I do believe there's a part with the guests-of-honor missing." The two girls headed out the door. When they arrived at the party, Lilly came rushing up to Blair and gave her a big hug. "Blair, honey you look gorgeous. I'm so glad you're here. It hasn't been the same without you. Enjoy yourself, this is all for you two." Serena gave her mom a kiss on the cheek. Serena and Blair spotted Chuck at the same time. Serena could tell Blair was about to question the fact that he's dateless. "Chuck never brings women around family. He says family is sacred." Blair just nodded. "I think I'm going to walk over and say hello." "B are you-" "I have to do this S. I said I'm going to let him go. Well I can't let him go if I avoid and ignore him. I'm done hiding from him. Keep a lookout for the signal if I need you." Serena couldn't help but smile at the mention of the signal. They both ended up going to Yale for college. When Serena was able to drag Blair out, they created a signal in case one of them needed to be save from horny college guys. Chuck watched Blair walked right up to him. He had to admit he was a little bit confuse. Whatever she wanted he knew he couldn't refuse her. Not tonight, not when she looks like an angel that fell from heaven. "Good evening Bass. I believe you owe me a drink from last night."
