Nate's Good Intentions

"So, are you sure about Eric?" Nate asked.

"I'm positive, Nathaniel," Chuck answered again tired. Nate had been asking that over and over and Chuck was tired of hearing that question.

"But why? Why would Eric do something like that?" Nate asked trying to make sense of it. He'd known Eric as long as Chuck. Maybe even longer. Sure he wasn't as close, but her still cared for Eric and didn't want him to get hurt.

"I don't know. He was talking about Jenny and what happened two years ago."

"What do you mean 'what happened last year'? What did happen last year?" Nate asked.

"Do you remember my father's funeral?" Chuck explained, "I told him we weren't related and today he threw my words back at me. I realized I apologized to everyone about that day. Everyone but Eric."

"So now he's cutting himself? Oh my god, Chuck. We have to tell someone!" Nate exclaimed.

"Nathaniel, I tried. Eric told them all I was trying to get him back for the blast about Jenny. Dan believed him and got Lily and Rufus to go along with him."

"Where is Eric right now?" Nate asked.

"Rufus took him to the loft. Why?"

Nate just turned and exited his and Chuck's suite, leaving Chuck yelling his name behind him.

When Nate got out of the cab, he was in front of the Humphrey loft. When he walked into the door he was pleased to see just Eric was there. He knew Dan was in classes and Rufus had a meeting of some sort so he had picked a good time. Eric heard Nate enter so he looked up from his laptop.

"Nate?" Eric said, surprised, "What are you doing here? Are you looking for Dan? If you are, I think he's in class."

"Actually, I'm looking for you, Eric."

Eric looked confused, "Why are you here to see me. I mean, no offense Nate, but we don't really hang out or talk or well anything."

Nate sat down next to Eric, and looked him in the eye, "Eric, look, I talked to Chuck today."

Eric jerked back from Nate. "Whatever Chuck told you it'd not true. He's trying to get me back for the Jenny thing. Don't believe him, Nate."

"Eric," Nate said softly, "I don't want to, but I've known Chuck since I was five, and he was telling the truth. He sounded so scared."

"Nate," Eric started to sound a little panicked, "He's lying. He's Chuck Bass. How can you believe him?"

"Then show me your arm, E." Nate said simply.

Eric jumped off the bed, "No! I don't have to prove anything to you!"

"If you want me to believe you, you kind of do." Nate stood up too and tried to go over to Eric, but Eric jumped away.

"Get away from me!" Eric yelled scared.

"Eric, just tell me the truth then!" Nate demanded,

"I am! Now get away!"

"If you don't show me your arm, I'll know your lying," Nate said.

Eric was full of freaking out, "I'm not Nate! Just leave me alone!"

Using the speed from his years of lacrosse, he grabbed Eric's arm, holding him back. Using his free hand, Nate pulled Eric's sleeve back. Nate nearly went into shock when he saw Eric's sliced-up arm. "Eric. Oh my god! Eric," Nate breathed.

Eric elbowed Nate in the stomach and Nate howled in pain allowed Eric to break free. Eric made to run to the door but Nate grabbed him around the waist held him there while Eric struggled. Nate attempted to calm him down but Eric refused to be calmed.

They were so loud they didn't here Chuck enter the room. "Nathaniel! What the hell are you doing!" Chuck yelled at his best friend, hurrying over to get Eric out of Nate's grasp. Chuck was worried that although Nate's intentions were good, his actions could cause more harm than good.

As soon as Chuck got Eric away from Nate, he ran into Jenny's old room and slammed the door.

Chuck turned to Nate, "What were you thinking?"

"I was just trying to help him." Nate said quietly, regretting his rash actions.

"Fat lot of good you did! You probably traumatized him!" Chuck yelled.

"Look, Chuck. I'm sorry! I'm just trying to help him. I care about him too." Nate said.

Chuck paused, "I know. But would you mind clearing out? I'm going to try to talk to him."

Nate nodded, "Sure. Good luck, Chuck. Tell Eric I'm sorry about scaring him."

Chuck nodded and Nate left the loft. Chuck went over to Jenny's door and tried to turn the knob. However, it look as if Eric had locked the door. Chuck raised a fist and knocked at the door. "Eric? E, I know you're in there. Please, come out! Nate's gone." Eric didn't reply.

"Eric!" Chuck tried again, "Please open the door! I want to talk to you!" Again Eric didn't reply.

Chuck started to lose his patience, "Eric van der Woodsen! You open this door right now or I swear to god I will knock this goddamn door down!"

"Good luck! Go away, Chuck! I don't want you here!" Eric's voice was muffled behind the door.

Chuck started pounding and kicking at the door but it wouldn't budge. Chuck heard a yell behind him, "What are you doing here!" Chuck turned around and just his luck Dan Humphrey had returned from his class. Dan ran over and pushed him away from the door.

"I told you to stay away! Get away from that door." Dan turned and lightly knocked on the door, "Eric? Eric, its me, Dan. Can you come out, please?" Slowly the door opened and Eric slid out. Eric ran over to Dan who put his arm around Eric and glared at Chuck.

"Eric, why don't you go into Jenny's room. I'll get rid of Chuck."

Eric nodded and went back into Jenny's room.

"Chuck, if you don't get out of here now, I'll call the police."

"Humphrey, you don't understand." Chuck tried to explain.

"No!" Dan yelled at him, "You leave Eric alone! It wasn't his idea. If you want to be mad at anyone, take it out on me!"

"Dan," Chuck said sincerely, "It's not about that. Eric is sick! He's hurting himself and all I want to do is help him. Please!"

"I'm sorry, Chuck. But I just don't trust you." Dan replied.

"Fine," Chuck said pleading, "But can you promise not to let him out of your sight or at least make sure someone is always with him, that he's never alone."

Reluctantly, Dan nodded, "If it will get you to leave him alone."

"Thank you." With that Chuck left, cursing his situation.
