"I can't believe she came here with Eric."

Jenny and Hazel laughed. They had agreed to meet Nate and Chuck at the Palace bar to talk about little details about the prom. While they were talking, who other than Blair herself walks in with Eric.

"She has got to be the most desperate person I have ever seen."

The girls laughed some more. Chuck clenched his fists under the table. He didn't like them talking about the only girl he had ever loved like that. She didn't deserve it. He had spent most of his day trying to make her feel better. Sometimes he felt that he caused her pain. Nate on the other hand had enough of Jenny and Hazel's stupid jokes about Blair.

"Will you guys just shut up!"

Both girls started at him with wide eyes. Chuck just turned his head. Nate's eyes were full of rage.

"Nate, we were just -"

"Just what? Making fun of her for no reason? Well I think that's kind of immature. If you want to go to the prom with me, drop the immature act."

Jenny was speechless. So was Hazel.

"Sorry Nate."

He just sighed. Hazel was eyeing him weirdly. Chuck noticed this.

"Hazel, what the hell are you doing?"

"I just think it's weird."

"What's so weird."

"That you and Nate seem to be caring more about Blair than us. We are your dates, she's the slut!"

That hit a nerve in Chuck.

"Hazel and Jenny take a drive to the state line and when you reach it keep going. Come on Nathaniel, I hate sitting at the same table with such low class people."

Nate and Chuck left the table leaving Jenny and Hazel shocked. Had they just been dissed by the Upper Eastside Kings? Meanwhile, Blair and Eric were sitting at a table with a perfect view of the whole ordeal.

"Did you see that?"

Blair was still shocked, that she hadn't heard Eric.

"Blair? I keep feeling like your zoning me out."

"Oh sorry. I'm just shocked. Why would they defend me after I almost ruined their friendship."

"Some people just do the right thing for no reason. I think it's cool."

"Me too."

They ordered drinks, no alcohol of course. They really seemed to be getting more comfortable with each other.

"Hey Blair, do you have the time?"

"Yeah it's 8:30. You have somewhere you have to be?"

"Yeah my mom likes me coming back at 8. She's still worried ever since, well you know."

Blair nodded. How could she forget the day Eric had told her about almost committing suicide. It still shocked her.

"Well I better get going too."

She and Eric said their good byes and she headed outside.

"Blair?"

She turned around. Almost dropping her purse as she did.

"Kyle! What are you doing here?"

"I'm waiting for Dan. He said to meet him here."

"Well it's good to see you again."

She started to turn, but his voice stopped her.

"So did you get a date for the prom?"

She turned back to face him.

"Yes, I did. He's Serena's little brother. I guess I just wanted to go with someone that I could trust."

Kyle pretended to grab his chest like he had just been shot.

"Oh that hurt Blair."

They both laughed.

"Well sorry. I just felt like he really wanted to go."

"Don't worry. It's not my problem."

"Yes. Well I better get going."

She started to turn, but then an idea hit her. She turned back. He was still standing there.

"Don't you ever leave when you say your going to leave?"

She laughed.

"Well I was going to ask you something, but you can forget it now."

"No, no. I'm sorry. What was that you were going to ask?"

"I was wondering if maybe sometime you would like to go out, like on a date, just you and me."

"Yeah sure. Just you and me."

Blair smiled. She finally turned and waited for her limo to pick her up. As she stood there waiting she thought of the two people she had ever really dated: Chuck and Nate.

Oh why can't she get them out of her head.
