A/N: I hope you all enjoy! Don't worry more drama to come.
Blair sat in her seat. She couldn't do anything. Serena was busy talking to Dan. Blair decided not to interrupt them. After all they were the happy couple. Blair also couldn't talk to Eric. He was busy speaking to the girl he had been talking to earlier. Blair didn't like looking straight in front of her. Chuck would look at her. His eyes on her burning her skin. She wanted him. She wanted him bad. But she would never let him know.
Chuck looked at Blair. He didn't want to look at her too much, he was afraid his heart would break. He couldn't believe he had been such an idiot to lose her. He never told Blair why he had cheated on her. She would probably think he was a liar. But he would never lie about anything like that. Everything had been great. Blair had been the perfect girlfriend. He had been so happy with her. He knew they were soul mates and that scared me. He had never been in a serious relationship. He never really had seen one growing up. His parents didn't even try. So he cheated. He just grabbed a girl from a local strip club and used her for no reason but to hurt Blair. He hadn't been with another girl since then. He looked at Blair. She looked away. She turned to Serena.
"S, I'm going to get going soon."
Serena turned to her in confusion.
"But B, you haven't even finished your dinner."
"Fine I'll finish dinner, then I'll leave."
Serena sighed.
"Okay."
So Blair sat and ate for the next twenty five minutes. She didn't look at Chuck. Once everyone had finished dinner, Lily suggested that the adults go and eat their desert in the living room. The younger adults stayed in the dining room. The maid brought over some ice cream for them. Blair didn't take any and went to get her coat and purse. She put on her coat and went to tell Serena she was leaving. She walked up to her best friend.
"S, I better get going."
Serena sighed. She knew she couldn't keep Blair around for a long time around Chuck. Blair had called her right after the two had broken up. She had never heard Blair more upset. She looked at her best friend.
"Okay, but thank you for coming."
Blair smiled and hugged her best friend. Jenny looked at the best friends. She looked at her watch.
"Um Blair, could I catch a ride with you?"
No!! thought Blair. She turned and gave Jenny a fake smile.
"Sure."
Jenny smiled and went to get her coat. Blair clutched her purse a little harder. Oh well, I'll deal with her she thought. Jenny came back in a flash. Blair said good bye to the remaining people. When it was time for her to say good bye to Chuck, she didn't look at him. She simply stuck out her hand and he shook it. His touch made butterflies come back in her stomach. She let go of his hand and went to the door. Jenny followed her. They got to the elevator and took it to the ground floor. Blair realized that if she went back to her penthouse that she would have nothing to do. Blair smiled at Jenny.
"Do you have any plans for tonight?"
"No."
Blair smiled.
"Perfect."
Jenny raised any eyebrow.
"Perfect?"
Blair didn't reply and called a cab for them. Blair climbed in and Jenny followed. She hadn't spoken to Blair since, well they hadn't really spoken. Jenny had hung out with Penny and Hazel but they had ditched her after senior year. She needed friends. She looked at Blair.
"Where are we going?"
Blair smiled.
"Don't worry."
She spoke to the cab driver.
"Can you take us to fifth?"
He did as she asked. Jenny didn't say anything. She only wondered what Blair could possibly have in store. The taxi stopped and Blair and Jenny stepped out. Blair immediately went to sit on a bench. Jenny followed. Blair put her hands in her hands. Jenny didn't know what to do. Blair looked up.
"Why did he do it?"
Jenny's face became confused.
"Why did who do what?"
Blair sighed.
"Chuck cheated."
Jenny looked sympathetically at Blair. Blair tried to hold back her tears. Chuck had brought so much joy into her life but he obviously didn't want to be with her. Why else would he cheat? She couldn't help it anymore and the tears came down. Jenny sat down next to her.
"Blair, do you want to talk about it?"
Blair thought about that. Normally she would never have considered even talking to Jenny about anything but right now seemed like she needed to. She turned to Jenny.
"I don't know what I did. I thought I did everything right. I never did anything to hurt him, and he….he…..he cheated on me!"
Jenny didn't know what to do. She got out a tissue and passed it to Blair.
"I'm sorry Blair."
Blair wiped her eyes with the tissue. She managed to give Jenny a small smile.
"Thanks."
Jenny smiled.
"So do you want to head somewhere else?"
Blair smiled.
"I know a place."
Blair got up and started walking towards a café. They ordered some drinks and Blair talked more about her and Chuck. Jenny seemed to like them together. She couldn't believe that he cheated on Blair. Why? she kept thinking.
Meanwhile, Chuck was still at the party. Things had gotten dull. He looked at his watch. He walked up to Nate.
"Nathaniel, want to blow this joint?"
Nate shrugged his shoulders.
"Sure. Where do you want to go?"
"Victrola?"
"Sure."
They said goodbye and went out into the hall. The took the elevator to the lobby and went out in the courtyard. Chuck called his chauffer to bring the limo out front. Both boys got in and drove to Victrola. When they got out, Chuck didn't go in. Nate looked at him.
"Man, I thought you wanted to go?"
Chuck looked at Victrola's door. Something was holding him back. He couldn't do this. Not to her. He looked at Nate.
"I'm sorry, I can't."
Nate looked at him with confused eyes.
"What?"
"I just can't."
Chuck got back in the limo. Nate climbed in before Chuck closed the door. They sat quietly in the limo. Nate knew something was bothering him, but what was it? He decided to ask.
"What is up with you?"
Chuck looked at him. He knew exactly what he was implying.
"I don't know. I guess I don't want to hurt her again."
"Blair?"
Chuck nodded his head.
"I hurt her already because I was an idiot. I can't do it to her again."
"But it was just Victrola."
"I know but it just felt wrong."
Nate rolled his eyes. This hadn't been the Chuck that Nate knew. Damn, Yale really changed him he thought. He turned to look at Chuck.
"You really love her, don't you?"
Chuck sighed.
"Yeah but I messed up because I was afraid."
"Afraid?"
"Yeah."
"Of what?"
Chuck leaned back on the seat before replying.
"Love."
"Love?"
"Yeah. I was afraid that it was too good to be true and that maybe I didn't deserve her."
Chuck couldn't believe he had admitted his feelings. He just wished that Blair had heard. He looked at Nate.
"Can we get some coffee?"
"Yeah. There's a great café on fifth."
Chuck nodded his head. Anything would be great right now. The limo stopped outside the café. Both guys walked inside. They did not expect what happened next.
