Blair stared at the fountain for what seemed like forever, trying to find a way to tell him what was going through her mind the night she left him for what she now sees as a collosal mistake. She knew he was waiting. For what, she didnt know, but she squared her shoulders and began anyway. "Dan, first I want to say that I am truly sorry. I'm sorry for taking you for granted. I'm sorry for taking everything you had to give and never giving you anything in return. I'm sorry for giving up on us. Most of all, I'm sorry for treating you like you weren't important to me. That night, I convinced myself I was just avoiding the inevitable. That I should just end it with you before I hurt you any further. You know me and my warped logic. It took losing you and losing myself again to realize that you are everything to me. You made me feel strong and safe. You made me happy, and that was the best gift anybody has ever given me." She realized she was crying as she glanced over to Dan. He had his eyes focused on a spot just above the fountain and his jaw was clenched. She reached out to touch him but he flinched away. He stood, and she could finally see the anger in his eyes. "I made you happy?", he whispered. "I made you feel strong and safe? I meant everything to you?" His voice rose as he continued. "Those are the worst lies you have ever told me. If I made you happy, you wouldn't have chased Chuck to Monaco the same day we were supposed to leave for Rome. If I made you feel strong and safe, you wouldn't have followed Chuck all over hell and creation, trying to save the hotel he sold you for. If I meant everything to you, you wouldn't have become Bass. We both made mistakes, but we both need to face it. I will love you until the day I die, but you never loved me. You sure as hell didn't respect me and the relationship I thought we shared. I know what you are thinking. You're thinking about how I slept with Serena. All I have to say is that atleast you had already checked out of our relationship. So please don't insult me now by making me the consolation prize." Blair watched as he took a deep breath. "I told you once that if you lost everything, you would still have me. And it happened,you lost Louis, you lost Chuck, and you even lost your baby. But you still had me. I was there. I stood by you and you had me. But you didn't want me. You never did. You clung to me because I never gave up on you. I will never give up on you Blair Waldorf, but I gave up on us three years ago. That's why I'm going to walk away now. The next time we see each other, you will go your way and I'll go mine, because frankly, it hurts too much to be near you. I know what we should have been. It's just a shame you never saw it." And with that, Dan Humphrey walked away from Blair Waldorf.
