Jenny passed Hazel Dan's phone. Hazel looked through the contact list.
"What was his name again?"
"Kyle."
Hazel found his name and started to text him.
Kyle, meet me at the Palace at 7
She sent it. In a matter of seconds, she got a reply.
Sure.
She smiled. She looked up and Jenny, Carter and Penny.
"He's coming."
They all smiled. Penny spoke up.
"How is this breaking them up?"
Hazel sighed.
"Trust me, it will work."
Penny rolled her eyes. She checked her watch.
"Crap, I have to go. Anyone need a ride?"
"I do."
Jenny grabbed her stuff. Hazel gave her Dan's phone. Penny and Jenny left. Carter looked at Hazel.
"So come on tell me, how are you breaking them up like this?"
She smiled and leaned forward.
"It's simple."
He leaned forward with confusion on his face.
"I'm afraid I don't understand."
She nodded toward the window. He turned around and saw Nate sitting a table alone. He turned back to face Hazel. She was still smiling.
"What does Nate have to do with it?"
"Everything."
She got up and walked over to Nate.
"Hey Nate."
He looked up and saw her.
"Hey."
"Want to join me and Carter. You seem lonely here."
He looked at his table and realized he probably looked like a loner.
"Yeah. Sure why not."
He grabbed his school bag and followed Hazel to the table she and Carter were at. He took a seat.
"So Nate, you and Jenny, huh?"
He looked up in surprise.
"What?"
Hazel got out her phone and showed him the picture of him and Jenny kissing that morning. He fell back in his seat. Carter smiled at him.
"Well shows your getting over Blair."
He sent him a glare. Carter's smile disappeared. Hazel decided to butt in.
"You're not over Blair?"
He sighed.
"No. I want her to be happy though."
Hazel took his hand and squeezed it reassuringly. This is better than I thought she thought. She gave him a small smile.
"How about we go somewhere else. The Vortex get's boring after a while."
The boys nodded in agreement. They paid their bill and called a cab. Carter sat in the front.
"The Palace."
The cab started to drive. Hazel smiled at Nate.
"We are going to have a good time."
"I hope so."
"Why aren't you happy?"
He sighed.
"I don't know. I guess I just miss being Blair's boyfriend sometimes."
I knew it! I knew it! she thought. The cab stopped and the three got out. Nate looked up and saw the familiar building.
"What are we doing at the Palace?"
Hazel took his arm.
"Relax. We're just going to the bar."
Carter followed them inside. Hazel led them into the bar. They all took a seat a table. A waiter came by.
"Anything to drink?"
"Three martinis to start."
Carter spoke for everyone. Their drinks arrived in a few minutes. After a few vodkas, Nate moved on to scotch. Hazel smiled as she realized her plan was falling into place. Nate went to dance with some girl. Hazel found his phone. She texted Chuck.
Can you come down to the bar?
In a few minutes she got a text back.
Not after what you did.
I'm sorry. Please let me make it up for you. Bring Blair too. I want to apologize to her too.
Hazel waited again. It seemed like he would never reply. To her surprise, he did.
Fine. I'll be down in ten.
Hazel smiled. She put the phone back. Carter smiled at her.
"What?"
He kept on smiling. She huffed.
"What is it?"
"I love it when your plans fall into place."
She blushed. Nate came back from dancing with five girls.
"WOOHOO! That was the best dance ever!"
"Glad you think so."
"I know so. You know, I like you two."
Before either of them could respond, he pulled them into a hug.
"I love you. You love me. We are…….. Crap what are the next words?"
Both of them shook their heads. He laughed.
"Well who cares. I am Nathaniel Emily Archibald."
He started laughing. After he laughed for a minute, he finally spoke.
"My middle name isn't Emily!"
They pretended to laugh. He started to laugh, a lot louder then them. They heard someone approaching their table. As they got closer, they realized there were two people. Nate saw them and ran up.
"Blair Chair! Chuck Duck!"
He pulled them into an uncomfortable hug. When they got out, Chuck turned to look at Nate.
"How about us three get a separate table?"
They walked to a nearby table. Chuck and Blair sat on one side and Nate sat opposite to them. Chuck started to speak.
"Me and Blair are really glad you are doing this."
Nate looked at them confused.
"Doing what?"
"Apologizing."
Nate started to laugh.
"Apologizing? Are you kidding me! If anyone should be apologizing it should be you."
Chuck and Blair looked at him with the same confused expression. Blair spoke next.
"But then why did you call us down here?"
"I didn't duh! Ooh, maybe it was a ghost."
Nate started making ghost sounds. He walked back to where Hazel and Carter were sitting. Hazel looked up at him.
"How was it?"
He sat down next to her.
"They were all thank you for coming to apologize. I mean what were they smoking."
He laughed. Hazel smiled.
"I think Chuck's being a little mean to Blair."
Nate stopped laughing.
"What?"
"I heard he hates it when she looks at you. She must still have feelings for you."
She knew she was lying, but Nate would believe anything when he was drunk. He got up and stood on the table.
"Everyone here! I want you to know, I love Blair Waldorf!"
He pointed to Chuck by mistake.
"Man Chuck move."
Blair sat there in shock. What was Nate on? He stepped off the table. He staggered towards Blair and Chuck.
"Blair. I looooooove you!"
He leaned down for a kiss but Chuck stopped him. Nate turned around to see Chuck's angry face.
"Come on, Chuck. We both know you don't love her."
Chuck pulled him up away from Blair.
"Actually Nathaniel, I love her more than you ever will. Forever and always."
He punched Nate. Nate fell on the ground. Chuck punched him again and again. Nate gathered up some energy and punched him back. Blair screamed at them to stop. Hazel and Carter smiled in amusement. Finally a bartender came and stopped the fight,
"I think you two should leave."
Blair stood at Chuck's side. Nate picked up his jacket and followed them out. They stood in the lobby. Nate looked at Blair and Chuck. Chuck was wiping the tears from Blair's eyes. He pulled her into an embrace. Nate walked up to them. Blair tensed up and he came.
"I'm sorry you guys. I truly am."
He looked at them. Blair looked at Chuck. He didn't look forgiving.
"You may be sorry Nathaniel, but I won't be forgiving you anytime soon."
Nate's eyes looked sad. He turned to look at Blair.
"Blair?"
"I'm sorry, Nate. Not right now."
He looked like was going to cry. He took a deep breath and walked out the door. Chuck looked at Blair.
"We'll be alright."
She looked up at him and smiled.
"Come on, let's go outside."
He took her hand and led her to the courtyard outside the hotel. They sat on a bench. Blair noticed someone standing there.
"Is that Kyle?"
Chuck looked at where was looking. What the hell is he doing here? he thought. Blair started to get up. Chuck followed her.
"Kyle!"
He turned around and saw Blair. Chuck just looked bored.
"Hey Blair."
She smiled.
"You remember Chuck?"
Kyle put his hand for Chuck to shake. Chuck unwillingly shook it. Blair was still all smiles.
"So what are you doing here Kyle?"
"Dan asked me to meet him here."
Chuck rolled his eyes. Serena had told him that she was at Dan's. This guy should get his story straight before coming here, he thought. He decided to speak next.
"I'd hate to be the one to inform you, but Humphrey isn't here."
Confusion washed over Kyle's face.
"But I got a text from him saying that I should meet him here."
"Look I don't know what your on, but Humphrey isn't here. Just tell us the real reason you're here."
"I told you he texted me to meet him here."
Blair decided to intervene.
"Kyle, why don't you join us inside?"
Chuck groaned. Kyle looked down at his feet. There was silence in the air. Chuck decided to break it.
"I don't think you should. I don't want people mistaking you for one of us."
He smirked. Kyle's eyes filled with anger. Blair turned to look at Chuck. She looked furious.
"You have no right to say something like that to him!"
"He has no right waiting outside my hotel."
"It's a free country!"
"But money over powers it!"
She glared at him. Kyle decided to leave.
"Umm I am going to go."
Neither of them watched him leave.
"What is with you Bass!"
"Me? What about you. 'Oh Kyle, what are you doing here?' Would it kill you to spend time with me?"
"If you keep acting like that, it would kill me."
"Blair, why are you getting mad at me?"
"Because you promised to accept my friends, but you can't even do that!"
She looked like she was on the verge of tears.
"Well I am trying but I don't want some freak standing outside my hotel waiting for my girlfriend."
"He wasn't waiting for me."
"Yeah right."
"There you go again. You said you would listen to my side!"
"I told you I'm trying."
"Well sometimes instead of trying can you just do it!"
She glared at him. She reached for her left hand and took of the ring. Tears falling down her face.
"And until you do, keep this."
She handed him the ring and walked away. He looked at her, hoping she would come back. But she kept going. He looked at the ring in his hand. He wanted to throw it away. Make him forget what love was, but something kept holding him back. He walked back into the hotel. He took the elevator to his suite. Hazel and Carter stood up from the bench they had been sitting on in the lobby. Hazel turned to look at Carter.
"Mission accomplished."
He smiled.
"I never thought I'd see the day Chuck would be heartbroken about a girl."
"Let's get out of here."
He followed her out of the hotel. Meanwhile, Blair reached her bedroom. She slammed the door behind her. She just cried and cried. What if they had broken up for good? She needed to talk to someone. She got out her phone and looked through her contact list. Nate? No, she had even told him she hadn't forgiven him. Chuck? Hell no. Eric? Maybe. She decided to give it a try. He picked it up in a matter of seconds.
"Hello?"
"Eric?"
"Blair?"
"Yeah. It's me."
"What's up?"
"Nothing. I hope I'm not calling late."
"Relax, it's only 8:30."
"Okay."
"So……"
"I feel horrible."
"Why?"
"Me and Chuck broke up."
"You guys broke up a couple days ago too. You will be back together before you know it."
"I think it's for good."
"Why do you think that?"
"I gave him back the promise ring."
"Oh…."
"He broke all his promises though."
"Well he needs time. Dating is new to him. You can't expect him to be perfect."
"But it's the small stuff too. He still hasn't learnt his manners."
"Like I said, he needs time."
"I just wish he would hurry up."
"Maybe he will. Maybe he won't."
"I think he hates me."
"He couldn't hate you."
"How do you know?"
"He always talks about you. Always with a big smile on his face."
"Really?"
"Yup."
"I guess I'll talk to him tomorrow."
"That's a good girl."
They laughed.
"Good night, Eric."
"Good night, Blair."
She turned off her phone and went to sleep.
