"Blair calm down, you are going to make yourself ill." Serena begged, she'd never seen her friend behave this way before and it scared her. Blair was lying in Serena's guest bedroom crying violently her body was shaking as if she was having a fit, she hadn't spoken for over 5 hours." It's a wonder she even has any water left to cry with Serena thought.

Serena and Dan knew something was awful was going to happen when they received an urgent voicemail from Blair telling them of her suspicions that Chuck was lying to, or worse cheating on her.

They had told her she was being ridiculous- everyone could see how much Chuck worshipped Blair. Serena had secretly been envious of their life, not that she didn't love Dan it's just that they seemed to have everything- the perfect apartment, jobs (Blair being a lawyer at one of the leading firms in New York and Chuck being the beloved CEO of Bass Industries), lifestyle; they were engaged and were talking about having a child in the near future.

What had happened between Blair having suspicions to and actually having them confirmed? Serena wondered. But now was not the time to ask all she could do was be there for her best friend, her sister.

Nate was in the elevator on the way to see Chuck, he had heard from Serena that Blair was a wreck and if he knew Chuck, he was sure he wouldn't be doing much better. He knew if what Blair said was true that he wouldn't be able to speak to Chuck without punching him, but until Chuck actually admitted to having an affair Nate was still finding it hard to believe. Only last month Chuck had told him about his plans to marry Blair.

1 Month Ago

Nate crossed the bar to meet Chuck, "Nathaniel, glad you could meet me." He motioned for the bar tender to bring another dink.

"Hey Chuck what's up? Why did you want to meet me?"

Chuck's glaze slightly lowered and his face became a faint red colour- Chuck Bass was blushing?! "I have decided something, something huge, that no one really expected of, well not before, I'm going to ask Blair to marry me."

"What, why?!" Nate looked confused and Chuck looked annoyed, this wasn't the reaction he wanted, however Nate for once notice this and back tracked. "Don't get me wrong man you two are great together but you've always said you would never get married, why have you changed your mind?"

"Because I love her, and I know she wants the whole marriage and family thing and when I'm with her I want it too." Nate took a large sip out of his drink he knew he should be happy for his friend, and he was mostly but deep down he always thought he and Blair would get married- she was his safety net and he was hers.

"Well congratulations then man, best of luck to you," he shook Chucks hand and casually moved on to talking about where Chuck got the ring from and away from the wedding itself.

Present Day

Chuck was holding her ring, sitting there in their bedroom- not his- theirs, he refused to believe that Blair was gone for good, he loved her and he knew despite the things he done and the words she said; she loved him too, he knew he had to get her back no matter what. They're inevitable.

"Chuck" Nate called out from the lounge, Chuck could hear I'm going through the different rooms trying to find him but he couldn't find it in himself to let his friend know where he was. "Oh man, shit Chuck you look…" Nate began but couldn't finish- to say Chuck looked a mess was understating it by a mile- he was far worse than Nate was prepared for, somehow he knew that giving him a scotch and telling him to buy Blair a bouquet of flowers wouldn't do it this time.

"Why Nathaniel, what are you doing here, shouldn't you be pining after Serena or something" Chuck sneered, why did Nate have to come here with that look of pity, sure he'd probably lost the one and only love of his life, but no one pities Chuck Bass.

"Ok Chuck I get it you want to be alone but I was thinking we should go out, maybe watch a game, or go to a club, anything but you need to get out of this apartment man it's going to kill you staying cooped up in here with all of these reminders of her."

Nathaniel just didn't get it this was just the reason that he was staying her, he needed to be reminded of her; he needed to stay in a place that was theirs and only theirs. "Nathaniel I want you to leave. Now."

"Chuck you need to move on- either try and win her back or get over her- but you can't just sit here and wallow." This is the first time Nate had ever seen Chuck not turn to booze, drugs and strippers after a mess, and it shocked him. "I want to help you Chuck."

"If you really wanted to help me then go away," glared Chuck

"Fine. When you feel like talking call me."Chuck watched as Nate left the room, finally he thought peace and quiet- now he could start planning on how to bring Blair back.
