A/N: Sorry, I couldn't update a lot yesterday. Well here is another chapter. Enjoy
Chuck, Nate, Serena and Eric sat in the waiting room, awaiting news of Blair's condition. They had called the cops after Hazel had hit Blair. There had been a lot of yelling. The cops took Hazel away. Chuck carried Blair to the stretcher that was ready for her. He didn't let her go of her once. Dan had taken Jenny home and promised to meet them at the hospital later. That had seemed a life time ago, but it had really been and hour ago. A nurse came towards them. They all stood up. Chuck spoke first.
"How is she?"
"She is alright. She is very lucky that the chair didn't crack her skull or damage her brain. She should be waking up in a couple hours. She might complain about headaches, but those should go away in a week."
"Can we see her?'
"Sorry, Mr. Bass. Only family at this time can decide who can and cannot see her."
"Please, you don't understand I need to see her!"
The nurse looked at him surprised. Everyone else looked just like her. Was Chuck actually showing compassion. He became frustrated and went to sit back down. The nurse excused herself. Nate went to sit beside Chuck.
"Don't worry, she's going to be alright."
Chuck turned to look at him.
"This is all my fault. If I hadn't brought Hazel this whole disaster wouldn't have happened."
He put his head in his hands. He tried to stop the tears but sometimes you have to let them go.
"Chuck, this isn't your fault. Hazel would have come anyway. Blair doesn't care about her. Blair is in love with you, nothing can bring her down."
Chuck looked at Nate. Were they having an actual talk. They would always be friends and nothing could change that. Serena sat with Eric a couple seats down. He hadn't said anything since they had arrived. He didn't know what to say. Serena's phone went off.
"Hello?"
"Serena, it's Dan."
"You don't know how good it is to hear your voice. It might be the only thing calming me down."
"Well I am happy to do anything to help. How is Blair?"
"They said it wasn't too serious and that she would wake up in a couple of hours. We can't see her without family permission. And we can't find her mom."
"Oh. I'll come by as soon as I can. I can pick us up some coffee."
"Thanks. Love you."
"Love you too."
She hung up. Even through all the craziness, he always made her feel calm. How lucky was she to find a guy like him. Sometimes she thought he was too good for her, but then she would remind herself she was lucky to have him. Chuck started to pace through the room. He needed to see her. He needed her to be alright. He needed to protect her. His pacing kept getting faster. Finally it hit him. His father had donated a lot of money so the hospital could open a new wing. Surely they could bend the rules for him. He quickly got out his phone.
"Hello?"
"Dad. I need a favour."
"Do you have any idea what time it is?"
"Yes, but this is an emergency."
"Sure, what do you need?"
"I need you to call the hospital, you know the one you donated money to, and tell them to allow me and my friends to visit Blair."
"Blair? Why is she in the hospital? What happened to her?"
"It's a long story, I just need you to tell them to let us visit her. Please."
There was a long pause. But after a while a voice was heard on the other end.
"Sure."
Chuck smiled.
"Thank you, dad."
He hung up and sat down. In a matter of minutes a nurse came down and told them they were allowed to see Blair. They followed her to a room at the end of the hall. Inside lay Blair. She looked so peaceful. Serena pulled a chair close to the bed and sat down. She took one of Blair's hands and held it. Tears were rolling down her face, but she didn't care. All she cared about was her friend being alright. She started to sing.
"Twinkle, twinkle little star. How I wonder what you are. Up above a world….."
She couldn't finish. The tears had take over. Eric came over and comforted her. He too wanted to do something, but he couldn't think of anything. Chuck walked over to the other side and stared at Blair. He held her other hand and kissed her forehead. Nate looked from a corner in the room. Maybe he does love her more than I every could, he thought. They all spent time in the room. Eventually Dan had arrived. An hour later, Dan, Serena and Eric had left, leaving Nate, Chuck and Blair. Nate put his hands in his pocket. He felt something. He pulled it out and laughed. Chuck looked over at him.
"What's so funny?"
Nate walked over to him and showed him the picture that the photographer had taken of them. Chuck laughed.
"Did you see how he looked at us?"
"Yeah. He was so shocked."
The kept laughing.
"You know Chuck, I'm glad that Blair found someone who loves her more then me."
Chuck just smiled.
"Thank you, Nathaniel."
They started talking. Pretty soon Nate had to go. It was around 3 in the morning. Chuck was sitting in a chair when he noticed Blair was moving. He got up and walked to the bed. He grabbed her hand. Her eyes slowly opened. She smiled when she saw Chuck.
"Chuck!"
He just smiled.
"Hello Blair."
He leaned down and kissed her. They both felt the butterflies inside. Blair spoke first.
"What happened?"
"Hazel was dumb and hit you."
"Well, Hazel's a freak."
The both laughed.
"I'm really glad you are alright, Blair."
"I am really happy that you stayed here."
He smiled. They held hands, forgetting the world. Just like Blair had wanted. Meanwhile Hazel sat in a cold room waiting for the police officer to come in. Suddenly, she heard the door open. The police officer came in. He sat across from her. She gave him a small smile, but he didn't seem to notice.
"Ms. James, I hope you realize how much trouble your in."
Hazel just nodded.
"Why did you assault Ms. Waldorf?"
She took in a deep breath.
"I did it because she bullied me every day! I thought that tonight she would leave me alone. But then she threatened to hurt me if I went near her and Chuck. Don't you see I had to hurt her!"
The cop looked at her with a Are you kidding me? look. She took in another deep breath. Maybe her lie didn't work so well.
"I will be right back."
The cop left the room leaving Hazel to panic. After a couple of minutes, he returned into the room.
"All the charges have been dropped."
Her face became shocked.
"What?"
"You heard me. You can go free. Just don't let it happen again."
She left the police station. As she sat inside a taxi cab, her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Hello Hazel."
She gulped.
"Hello, Blair. How are you?"
"Oh you know, just fine. After all being hit in the head by a chair isn't as painful as your dethronement will be."
"Wwwhat?"
"You heard me. I'd be careful, Hazel."
"You don't scare me."
"Don't be so brave. You have every right to be scared of me."
"Who would be scared of a little slut!"
"Well only the bigger slut."
Blair hung up. Hazel stood in shock. Could Blair actually dethrone her? Who would be on her side? She had no chance, right?
