*I Came Back For You Chapter 7*

*Confessions, Lies and Broken Hearts*

...

The moment he saw her, his heart stopped with fear and the colour from his face dropped. He felt like he was about to faint. Blair didn't know who she was of course. But she was very curious to find out.

"Chuck... Who is she?" Blair asked suspiciously. Chuck's grip on Blair's hand tightened and he swallowed a hard lump that had formed in his throat before he spoke.

"Eva" He whispered and that's when the blond dived into his arms. Blair let go of his hand no matter how hard he tried to hold on.

"Oh, Chuck! Chuck I've missed you so much! I have been worried sick!" Eva cried letting go of him and staring at him. "Why didn't you call me back? I thought something terrible had happened!"

"Call you back? Eva I ended it with you ages ago! There's nothing more to say, were over" Chuck replied. Eva looked at Blair.

"Is this Blair?" She asked him. He nodded. Eva turned her attention back to Chuck. "You look very different with a bowtie" She commented.

At that moment, Serena appeared with Dan and Nate.

"What's all the shouting for?" Serena asked and then stopped still when she saw Eva. By now, everyone was watching the discussion between Chuck and Eva.

"What are you even doing here?" He asked.

"Your friend called me and told me that you were a mess without me! So I'm here to take you home"

"I am home" He replied.

"Chuck, Paris is your home with me" Eva almost seethed.

"Eva, I don't want to go to Paris with you-" He began.

"Then we won't. We'll stay in New York"

"No, you don't understand. I don't want to be with you. I'm with Blair" He looked over at Blair and saw her tears. "It's always been Blair"

Eva's smile dropped and she looked like she would rip Chuck's head off any minute. "You told me you love me!" Eva shouted. "You said that it was us forever!"

Blair was crying fully now and so Chuck moved closer to her and attempted to wrap his arm around her but she pushed him away.

"You said that as soon as she got better you would come back! You promised." Eva yelled.

"What?" Blair asked. "You told her that you were coming back?"

"N-no!" Chuck answered.

"Chuck, were getting married! I found the ring box before you left" Eva replied. Suddenly, Chuck realised. He had left the Harry Winston ring box in Paris, he had taken the ring out of it though.

Blair began to walk towards the stairs and Chuck followed her.

"Blair!" He called catching up with her. She didn't reply and so he grabbed her wrist and spun her around to face him. She quickly removed her wrist from his grasp.

"Don't touch me!" She screamed at him making him jump slightly.

"Blair, let me explain-"

"I don't want to hear it!" She cried before turning back around and walking away. He followed her.

"We'll talk about it in the limo, then" He replied.

"I don't want you to speak to me!" She shot at him. "Just stay away from me!"

...

An hour or so later, he took the limo to her apartment. As soon as he entered the foyer, Dorota appeared with a worried look on her face.

"Mister Chuck, where have you been?" She shouted.

"Where is she?" He asked concerned.

"She in bedroom. What did you do?" She asked. Chuck ignored her and ran up the stairs.

...

She sat in her bed, crying like a little girl, She didn't want him to leave. But she knew that he would. He would go back to Paris with his girlfriend. He had lied to her the entire time, she had let him back into her heart, into her bed and all this time he was planning on going back to her, Eva just as soon as she got better. She heard the door creak open and her eyes darted towards it, hoping that it was Serena. When he appeared, anger boiled inside her.

"Blair-" He began as he closed the door softly behind him so that Dorota wouldn't hear their shouting match that was about to take place.

"Just get out, Chuck" She seethed.

"Blair-" He tried again coming towards her. She grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, he caught it and held it to his chest for protection.

"Get out!" She said through gritted teeth.

"Just let me ex-"

"I don't wanna hear it, Chuck! Your French floozy will no doubt be waiting for you!" Blair shot at him.

"Blair, you know her name." Chuck began. As much as he hated Eva right now, he wasn't about to have a conversation with Blair without even mentioning her name. He'd had enough of that with the whole Jenny Humphrey situation.

"Well maybe I don't wanna say it! I can't even bring myself to say her name! So please just go before I throw something hard or sharp at you...and next time it'll be a head shot" Blair threatened. He held the pillow to his chest for protection, there was no way that he was leaving without her knowing the whole truth.

"I'm not going anywhere, Blair."

"Why? You've done everything to me! What else do you want from me? I let you back into my bed, Chuck! Back into my heart and you broke it into a million pieces once again!" She yelled.

"I want you to get better, so that we can work through this together" He replied.

"What? You, me and Eva?" She scoffed. "You know what? I don't even need you. In fact, I don't even know why you bothered coming in the first place"

At that moment, he lost his temper with her. She still didn't get it.

"Because you wrote me a letter! You wrote me a letter practically begging me to come back to New York to help you and I couldn't sit back and watch you slowly kill yourself" He shot at her making her jump slightly.

"It wasn't like that" She muttered.

"No you know what? It was! I came back for you, Blair! Because when I called Serena she said that she couldn't even recognise you. And I couldn't even recognise you! The moment I saw you I wanted to just run back to Paris, but I didn't. I stayed for you!" He shouted at her.

"Then why the hell didn't you run?" She asked through her tears and it was killing him, knowing that he had caused them.

"Because..." This was it. He had wanted to tell her ever since he came back but he hadn't had the courage.

"Because what? You wanted to play the hero and save me? This isn't a fucking fairytale!"

"I didn't want to be the hero, Blair I just didn't want you to fucking die!" He replied.

She pointed herself out with her fingers. "Well I'm not dead so now you can piss off back to Paris. Have a nice life, Bass. Maybe you and Eva can have a peasant wedding and have some peasant kids! Now get out!"

"Blair-"

"Get out!" She screamed. He sighed and for once in his life, he didn't know what to do to fix it. Maybe he should just leave, if that's what she wanted.

"Is that really what you want? You really never want to see me again?" He asked.

She forced a smile through her distressed face. "I'll be more than happy if I never hear your name be mentioned again"

He sighed, defeated. "Well, if that's the way you feel then I'll respect that. Goodbye, Blair"

He walked out of the room, the tears burning in his eyes. He closed the door behind him and he stayed there for a moment trying to hide his tears. He wondered whether he should go back in or not tell her the truth of why he came back and scoop her up in his arms. But this was no fairy tale, and even if it was. He wasn't a Prince.

He heard a photo frame smash against the door and ten he heard her sobbing begin and his heart died. He had ever heard anything like it in all his life. It sounded like she was dying, her breathing loud and distressed as she screamed and hit what sounded like a nightstand, bringing its contents crashing down to the floor.

He pulled out his phone ad dialled Eva's number.

"Hello?" She asked.

"Hey, it's me. what time does the plane leave?" He asked.

"Three hours"

...

Serena had decided to give Chuck and Blair some space but after a while, she returned home. She saw Dorota still there.

"Hey, Dorota. Is she here?" Serena asked.

"Oh, Miss Serena, thank goodness! Miss Blair and Mister Chuck...They have fight and they shout at each other and Mister Chuck leave and Miss Blair cry and scream!" Dorota told Serena.

Serena's face fell and she immediately ran up the stairs.

"Blair!" She called as she ran into Blair's room to find it trashed. Against the door was a photograph of Blair and Chuck all smashed up. All of the nightstand's contents was all over the floor with a smashed lamp...But Blair was nowhere to be seen.

...

Chuck arrived at the airport with Blair still stuck in his mind. He was now in the check in queue. Then it hit him. He never loved Eva. It was Blair, it had always been her and it always would be. He turned to Eva.

"Eva, I can't do this. I'm sorry" He apologised.

"Chuck, what are you saying? We're going to Paris for a new start"

"I don't love you...I never have" He admitted. Her smile fell from her this face. "I love Blair, I always have"

And at that moment, he grabbed his bags and began to run. He had to work things out with Blair, before it was too late. He ran outside into the cold raining night and hailed a taxi.

When he arrived at the Waldorf's. It was empty. There was no Serena or Dorota or lair anywhere to be seen. He waited for an hour or so before he left and went to the Empire. She'd be there tomorrow. And he'd work everything out with her then...

...

AN: So...Where's B gone? Will Eva leave for Paris again? Or is she not finished with Blair just yet? Will Chuck find out that it was all Dan's idea? Xoxo-Beth.
