I just want to say that I have not seen one episode of the sixth season. This was written a few weeks after the now infamous fifth season finale. The storyline follows the fifth season and the events of the finale. Something's may be missing or tweaked a little but I have tried to stay true to the wonderful storyline I had witnessed play out on my screen for two years. All Characters belong to their rightful owners. I do not claim ownership over them or the world of Gossip Girl. I would like to thank the writers for one good year of television, followed by four decent years of entertainment. The last year will forever be unknown to me, but I want to thank them for the years of irritation sure to follow me. Once again all characters belong to their rightful owners. Thanks and I hope you enjoy this.
Blair couldn't believe this is how her life had turned out. When Dan had jetted off to Rome with her nemesis three years ago, and she had chosen to chase down Chuck in Monaco, she knew that their relationship would never be the same. But she never entertained the thought that there would be no relationship at all. No Dan Humphrey, with his Muppet hair and lopsided grin. No Dan Humphrey, with his flannel shirts that gave her a rash just to look at, but were the exact thing she craved when the pain she carried became too much. Three years later and another divorce behind her, Blair realized Dan was the one. The one she gave her heart to, only to later act like it was never his to begin with. Only now, was the weight of her mistakes beginning to bury her. She'd had everything she needed to be happy and loved for her whole self, but she threw it all away for something that had been over for a long time. Three years may seem like a long time, and in some ways it was. Lord knows she had made enough mistakes in those three years to last her a lifetime. With the release of his sequel "Outside", Dan Humphrey made those three years seem like they occurred yesterday. He revealed everything. No one was safe, not Serena, not Lily, and especially not her and Chuck. Not even Nate made it out unscathed. Maybe she should be angry or feel betrayed. A part of her did, because contained within the binding was a not so surprising revelation. He had cheated on her. With Serena. She'd be lying if she said that didn't hurt. Blair was not naïve enough to believe that she had not hurt him as well. The wounds she had inflicted upon him quite possibly could have cut deeper than those he had bestowed upon her. He may have had a physical affair, but she had emotionally cheated on him, and then proceeded to disregard him as if he meant nothing to her. It was only now, at Lily and Rufus' second wedding, that she realized that would never be the case with Dan Humphrey. He meant more to her than any man ever had, even the infamous Chuck Bass. It tore her apart to know that it took losing him to come to that realization. As she watched him walk down the aisle with her ex-best friend, she promised herself that she would make things right between Dan and herself. She would make sure he got his happy ending, even if it meant sacrificing her own.
There it is. I know it's short but I have it written down in a notebook so some chapters are longer and some are shorter. Just bear with me. Please review.
