A/N: sorry for the wait. I wasn't sure how I wanted things to go. Hopefully you guys like it. Review/Comment and let me know.

….

Dan could feel the panic rising inside him, his head suddenly became heavy, and his hands were becoming numb. He tried to calm himself down, she was drunk. She probably just hung up the phone and passed out. Quickly he redialed her number, but couldn't get through because the line was busy. He paced back and forth in his room. Should he call Serena, Chuck even? No they knew, according to Blair.

He could only imagine how Serena felt. He tried defending himself, she slept with Nate, he didn't even sleep with Blair! This didn't make him feel anymore at ease. Chuck probably was going to murder him. Murder him with his bare hands. Leave him lying there in his own pool of blood. Dan cringed. No one would ever know because Chuck had the money to cover it up. Then Dan would never have a chance to write that story.

He needed to calm down, his mind was in over-drive. His head ached, and he felt nauseous from the worry that was engulfing him. Finally, he decided what he needed to do. Quickly he shrugged on his jacked, and grabbed his cell phone, and was out the door before his father even knew he was gone.

….

Dan slowly made his way up the stairs of the Waldorf penthouse, instantly regretting coming here. No one was to be seen, but he could dimly see the light shining out of Blair's bedroom so he kept going. He peaked in the door. "Blair…" he whispered, spotting her on the bed.

She defiantly looked like she had passed out, her hair was a mess, mostly covering her face. One of her shoes was on, the other half off, and her dress was rumpled and half unbuttoned. He walked over slowly, as if he was scared she would wake up any minute and slap him out of her house.

"Blair.." he said again, wiping the hair out of her face. Her cheeks were tear stained, and her red lipstick slightly smudged. He saw the empty wrappers sprawled over her bed and instantly knew what was going on. Serena had told him about this, in confidence of course. How she always worried about her best friend, in fear she would relapse. "Your way too beautiful to be even trying something like that." he whispered. Knowing for sure she would never hear it.

…

Blair shifted in her bed, under the comforters that had become warmed by her body heat. Thoughts of last night suddenly came rushing back. She passed out on her bed, clothes still on. But now she was in silk pajamas. How she enjoyed the way they felt against her skin. Maybe Dorota had came back and found her. She couldn't wait for the lecture she would have for her. She smirked slowly sitting up, and yelled because there was a man in her chair.

"Blair, it's okay." The man said, putting down his book and walking over to her.

"D-Dan?" Blair questioned. "What are you doing in my bedroom?" she spat, suddenly going back into her regular bitch mode.

"Well.." Dan said, fidgeting with his hands. "You hung up on me last night, and I was worried about you. So I came over here, found you passed out, and thought I should stay until you woke up incase something was wrong." he rambled.

Blair shifted uncomfortably in her bed. "You put my pajamas on me?"

"Yes, you looked uncomfortable."

He cheeks went flaming hot, he must have been disgusted by her. "Well that isn't creepy at all, is it?"

"Wait a min-"

"I think you should leave, I don't remember inviting you here." Blair interrupted.

Dan looked taken aback, he was expecting a thank you, or something. Not to be accused of being creepy. But, what could he expect from Blair Waldorf? Not much.

"Your welcome." he muttered, grabbing his jacket off the chair and heading for the exit.

Blair looked down sighing. "Dan."

Dan turned around. "What, want to insult me some more?" he spat.

"I'm sorry." she whispered.

Dan sighed. "It's okay Blair. I shouldn't have expected anything more."

"What do you mean?" she questioned.

Dan shifted, fiddling with the buttons on his coat. "Well-"

"Hold that thought." Blair said quickly, running for the bathroom.

Dan cringed at the sounds coming from the bathroom. He supposed that's what happened when you drink half your weight in alcohol. Blair stumbled out five minutes later, looking more pale than before. "Sorry." she mumbled, climbing into bed.

"You have to stop saying sorry, it's creeping me out." Dan joked, but failed.

Blair turned to him and glared.

"Do you need anything?"

Blair shook her head. "I wouldn't want to bother you further, you can go." she gestured towards the door.

"I'm not leaving you alone." Dan said quickly.

Blair chuckled a bit.

"What?" Dan said slowly.

"Look at you, acting all motherly." Blair chuckled.

"Now that IS funny." Dan mocked. "I'll go get you some Advil."

"Thank you." Blair yawned.

…

Chuck laid on his bed. Fumbling with his phone. He wondered if he should call Blair, and apologize. Not that he would apologize, but maybe buy her a nice bracelet? After all, he hadn't given her a chance to explain, and had acted like a complete ass. It scared him a bit he was even admitting that. Serena interrupted his thoughts by knocking loudly on his door.

"Chuck?" she said quietly.

"Yes?" he mumbled.

Serena walked over and sat beside him. "I thought about what you said last night. I did overreact a bit, so that's why I'm going over to Blair to apologize."

He stayed silent, pretending her was focused on his cell phone.

She continued. "Do you want to come?"

Chuck shook his head.

"Okay." Serena said slowly, heading for the door. She turned around just before exiting. "She would never do something like that to you, or too me. Just know that."

With that she was gone, Chuck sighed. Grabbing his drink from the side of his bed, and downing what was left of it. He needed to get out of this house.

…

"Yes, well if you are watching a movie with me, it's this one." Blair said firmly handing the case to Dan.

"You're being quite bossy, to someone that has been helping you out since last night."

Blair shrugged. "I didn't ask you too. And I'm always bossy, you'll have to deal with it."

Dan rolled his eyes, popping out the disc and carefully placing it in the DVD player.

"Surprisingly, I haven't watched this movie in weeks." Blair laughed, snuggling in her bed.

Dan walked over to the bed. "Is it okay if I sit here"

Blair looked as if she was in deep thought for a minute. "I got my tetanus shot, so I suppose it won't kill me."

Dan jumped on the bed, landing uncomfortably close to Blair, because he knew it would piss her off. Which he really enjoyed doing. Blair however seemed not to notice, as her eyes were glued on the screen. He studied her while he knew he had the chance. Her eyes sparkled at she watched the screen. Her hands were calm and relaxed, not tense like they usually were.

Blair instantly noticed Dan studying her. "What are you looking at?" she questioned, holding her face. What if something was wrong with her, and he was disgusted.

Dan noticed her worried expression. "There's nothing wrong with you." he said slowly.

Blair shrugged nonchalantly. "I didn't think there was. Let's just watch the movie." she added quickly.

Dan nodded. "Alright."

…

Serena entered the Waldorf house, and wasn't certain if anyone was even home. All the lights were off. She made her way to the bottom of the stairs and looked up to see Blair's on. She left out a breath of relief she didn't know she was holding and walked up the stairs. When she pushed the door open slowly, it revealed something she least expected.
