"Hey..." Serena said handing Chuck a cup of coffee. It has been a couple of hours since Blair had blackout and nobody had been able to see her. Chuck has been in the waiting room since she got administer here, waiting for her to wake up or a doctor to give them news with a blank expression.
Serena had pass most of the time going and coming between her house, the Waldorfs and the hospital not leaving her phone a second. She was super stressed by this situation. Eleanor was still in France, unreachable, so Chuck, Dorota and her were the only person close to Blair that had come there.
"Miss Waldorf's family?" a nurse said as she enter in the waiting room. Chuck and Serena got up, going to the nurse's side, since Dorota was at the Waldorfs getting some of Blair's things.
"How is she?" a worried Chuck asked.
"Not really well. She hadn't woken up yet. Her health condition is critical. We have to consult you to know where we should send her as soon as she woke up. We recommend you the Ostroff Center. They're true professional, none of this will be heard outside of there." the nurse explained.
"No, thank you, but Blair will go back to her house as soon as she will be stable." Chuck interrupted with all his calm.
"Sir, this is not how it works. Miss Waldorf could be in danger if she isn't taken care of in a special place. If she keep it this way, she won't survive. She needs to eat enough nutriment and consult a therapist. A special center is where she has to go."
"I refuse to!" Chuck yelled. Just the thought of Blair shut in a psychiatric center was unbearable to him. Those were for crazy people, not her. It was just a moment of weakness and as from now he would be there to help her. "Do you know who I am? If I say that Blair will go back home, she will! We'll hire a therapist at her home, I don't care. But she won't go to the Ostroff Center or any other place like that."
"Chuck, please." Serena said, putting her hand on his shoulder. "This isn't the time to make a scene."
"I'm sorry sir, but we can send her there ourselves if you don't want to cooperate. She needs to be in a calm environment and follow closely by a therapist."
"I'm Chuck Bass!"
"That doesn't change anything I said."
"Come on Chuck, we're going to call Dorota." Serena told him while gently pushing him back to the waiting room. "Calm down, okay? Everything will end up being alright."
"I don't want her to go there." He was a mess right now. "She doesn't belong there." His voice was just a whisper. He was broken inside. "She just need people to be there for her. I'll be there, always!"
Serena's heart broke when she saw the look on his face. He looked sad, broken, hopeless. That's exactly when she realised that he wasn't faking, he was really, completely, hopelessly in love with Bair. "I may have a idea, but we need to talk about it with Dorota."
.
It was three in the morning when Blair opened her eyes. She had been unconscious for a good nineteen hours and obviously felt confused. Where was she and what was she doing there? Before she could do or say anything, a nurse came in the room. "Miss Waldorf! It's so good to know you're awake." the nurse exclaimed. "I'll bring a doctor."
She was already gone before Blair could say anything. That's when she realize. She was in an hospital. Why?
"Hello Miss Waldorf. I am the doctor Parker. How are you feeling?"
"Confused, tired, dizzy. What happened?" Blair said weakly.
"You lost consciousness because of a lack of food this past days." Doctor Parker said. Blair started feeling bad. How could she have gone back to her hold habits. After more than two years, there she was going back to the person she was then. "I'm going to check up if you have any other problem. You shouldn't be able to leave until at least tomorrow at noon, but it can still change." Tomorrow at noon?
.
"Sir." a nurse said, shaking Chuck's awake. "Miss Waldorf is awake, you can see her." Even though it was the middle of the night, Chuck was still there. He had send Serena and Dorota at their respective home sometime around midnight claiming they both needed some sleep.
A couple of hours ago, Serena had explained to Dorota her idea. Instead of making Blair go to a psychiatric center, they would make her go on some vacation in the Hamptons. Of course, a therapist would always be at her disposition and would come every day. Also, Chuck and Serena would be living there too and Dorota would come every other day to make sure everything is in order. The plan was made and everything was alright with the hospital staff.
"Thank you." Chuck said. He followed the nurse to Blair's room. He was nervous. He couldn't even have said why he was. Maybe was this just because that was going to be the first time he will saw her this weak and troubled. His hands were trembling as he reach for the door the nurse has show him.
The Blair he saw laying on this bed, connected to machines, frail like never before, wasn't the Blair he had knew all these years. She looked devastated, sad, broken. "Chuck?" she said when she saw him standing by the door. Her voice wasn't strong and determinate as she used to be, but soft and a little broken.
"Hey" he said almost in a whisper, coming closer to her. "You scare me."
"I'm so sorry." she said as tears start streaming down her face. Chuck had a moment of hesitation before taking her in his arms. He let her cry in his shoulder as he rubbed her back. She was holding on to him for her dear life.
"It's okay Blair. Everything will be alright." he whispered in her ear. "We'll fix this together. I'm here for you now. I won't let you go."

Oh, I would carry you over fire and water for your love
And I will hold you closer, hope your heart is strong enough
When the night is coming down on you
We will find a way through the dark
