3 years later
Blair helped her mother with her business; Blair felt she really found her place. She'd deal with the new orders and creating new contacts.
In the first year of being in Paris, Blair was so good at her job; Eleanor came to the conclusion to make Blair an official partner for Waldorf Designs. Blair was very happy that her mother was proud of her. They celebrated with a shopping spree and then dinner with Cyrus.
Eleanor was the heart and soul of the business she would design the amazing clothes and Blair would support her mother's ideas. Blair gave 100% effort to make the business very successful and the best it could be because after all she did leave her life behind in New York for it.
Blair always admired her mother's talents, she was a great designer. Although Blair could not design, she was great at helping and putting in ideas.
Blair was so proud to call her mother, mother. Her and her mother's Relationship had strengthened; they would stay up some nights and eat ice-cream watching Audrey Hepburn movies and just talk. A couple of years ago Blair and Eleanor would never do this. Blair never used to get along with her mum, Eleanor would only criticize Blair. But now, ever since they moved to Paris their relationship got better and better.
Blair had a rough time in her school; she didn't have many friends that she could trust. Blair would do anything she could to get out of school. She had no friends like Serena or... Chuck. Chuck she missed him like crazy.
The people at her new school were probably more stuck up than the people in New York. She wasn't Queen B, but there wasn't one. But people did fear Blair because they knew what she was capable of and how powerful she was.
No one really talked to Blair, accept this girl called Lola. Her mother had introduced Blair to Lola the second day of arriving to Paris. Lola's mother and Eleanor had gone to school together and was a very close family friend.
Blair liked Lola; she had helped her around Paris and School. Lola was the closest friend she had, and Lola had the same taste in fashion. They would go shopping together and go to their favourite restaurants. Lola would always stay at Blair's house to help her catch up on school work, due to Blair's absent because her job – not that Blair complained about missing time from school. Many people her age didn't even have a job let alone being a partner to a million pound business.
Chuck had visited her once in the first year she moved. But never again, she hadn't seen him in 2 whole years. She never knew why, why hadn't he come again.
When Chuck had visited her over a year ago, he came for business. He had a business meeting in Paris, so he then decided to come and meet her. He was only meant to stay a day but he ended up staying 3 days.
The 3 days they spent together was magical, they would go out of breakfast, lunch and dinner. But on the last night chuck tried to make Blair dinner, it wasn't perfect but it was the thought that counted. She even introduced Chuck to Lola. Lola was very sceptical, she didn't want him to break Blair's heart – Lola remembered everything Blair had told her about him.
But she hadn't heard from chuck after that. She never knew why.
Chuck went out most nights and pick up girl after girl. But when it got to going back to his hotel with the girl, he drew the line. He just couldn't, he felt like he was cheating on Blair, but they weren't going out so he wouldn't of been cheating. It just felt wrong.
For some reason he couldn't have sex with anyone. He could kiss someone but no one felt as good as Blair did. He could have any girl, but he didn't want any girl. He wanted Blair.
He always thought that he would keep in contact with Blair. But after his visit he had overheard Eleanor talking to Cyrus about how bad Chuck was for her. And Chuck would ruin Waldorf designs due to his bad reputation for drinking and womanizing. Eleanor also said that 'Chuck would break Blair's heart and distract her from her future business.'
The last thing Chuck wanted was to ruin Blair's future business. So therefore he made a decision to stop contact with her. Obviously it broke his heart but at the end of day he could destroy everything she had worked for.
He didn't want to hurt Blair; he just wanted her to be happy and successful.
"Mother, remember we have that meeting with Matthew Newton this afternoon" Blair said reminding her mother. Lately her mother had been forgetting important things that she would normally remember.
"Oh, yes dear. Do you have the presentation all ready and sorted?" Eleanor said trying to find the papers with the new collection.
"Of course, Mother. Are you feeling ok?" She said turning around and passing the papers to Eleanor.
"Blair, Please I am fine but I think I'm going to skip out on this presentation. If you don't mind I think I need to go over some figures." Blair Nodded, and walked out of the office.
Once Blair had gone, Eleanor called the doctor making an appointment for 2 o clock. Eleanor had been going to the doctors regularly.
She had Heart failure.
"Heart failure is a lifelong condition that cannot be cured. It's a serious condition caused by the heart failing to pump enough blood around the body at the right pressure. The doctor explained the serious condition"
All Eleanor heard was – Condition, Cannot be cured, serious, heart failing..
Eleanor knew what heart failure was and that it could kill her but she didn't want people to pity her. So therefore she didn't tell anyone. No one.
When Eleanor arrived at the doctor, she had her usual room.
"Afternoon, Mrs Waldorf. How are you feeling today?" the doctor said while looking through her records.
"I'm fine." She paused. The doctor frowned.
"Actually, to be honest I think I'm getting worse. My memory is slowing going."
"Mrs Waldorf, you have to understand. Heart failure is a very serious disease. You not telling anyone raises your blood pressure which therefore puts extra strain on the heart. I really recommend you telling your family members."
"Doctor. I'm Eleanor Waldorf, the owner of a multi- million pounds business called Waldorf designs. I am fine and no one needs to know. If I tell people all they will do is worry about me and not let me get on doing what I do best, designing. Now if you'll excuse me I need to see how my daughter got on in an important meeting. " Eleanor Stood up and walked out.
At the meeting, Blair impressed Matthew and he had placed a huge order. Blair was very excited; she couldn't wait to tell her mother. She will be so proud.
"Mother, Matthew was happy with the new collection. He has placed a big order, which the deadline is very close so we need to work hard to meet the deadline."
Eleanor Eyes widen when she heard it was a big order. Even though she did walk out of the doctors she did take in what the doctor said about having too much stress could cause her heart to fail.
"Wow Blair, That's amazing. I'm so proud of you. Come on let me treat you for lunch."
The next few days Eleanor stayed in the office designing for the big order. She worked day and even night to get them finished. This put a lot of strain and stress on her heart. She started to have chest pains. But she ignored them and carried on drawing new dresses for the order.
Eleanor Dropped the pencil she had in her hand. And touched her chest.
She felt discomfort which felt like a tight ache, pressure in the centre of her chest. This pain lasted more than a few minutes.
She suddenly broke into a sweat making her skin cold and clammy. She felt as if she was having a panic attack.
She started panting for breath and then the panting increased and got louder, she then fell to the ground.
Alex, Eleanor's assistant came rushing in once she heard she was in pain.
"Eleanor" Alex shouted trying to make her speak. But she couldn't she was trying to get her breath. Alex grabbed the phone and dialled 999.
Eleanor Felt Faint and her eyes kept closing. When she opened her eyes slightly she saw blurry flashing lights and people attaching wires to her chest.
Alex got into the ambulance with Eleanor because no one else was there. She needed to call Blair and Cyrus but she couldn't because the paramedics said to wait until they were at the hospital.
The doctor's immediately took Eleanor into theatre to try and operate on her heart and restore blood to the heart. The supply of blood to the heart was suddenly blocked by a big blood clot.
Blair was at home studying for a test which was tomorrow for school when Alex's number came up on Blair's phone
"Alex, what do I owe the pleasure?"
"Blair… Um it's your mother." Alex said stumbling on her words.
"What about my mother Spit it out" Blair was getting worried so she snapped.
"She had a heart attack at the office. She is in hospital now and getting surgery. But I have no idea how she is. They won't let me know any more information because I'm not family. Blair you need to come to the hospital right now!" Alex said very quickly.
Silence, Blair was stood but then suddenly fell onto her bed.
"Blair?"
There was a pause on the line. ".. Yes, I'll be there right away. You need to call Cyrus because I don't think I can" She put the phone down.
Blair was in her grey all silk pyjamas. She quickly ran to grab her coat and ran to the elevator. She had already called her limo to pick her up.
She grabbed Dorota's hand and pulled her into the elevator and explained everything in the car.
They arrived at the hospital and Blair ran into the hospital, she shouted at anyone who was in her way.
She ran to the front desk. "Eleanor Waldorf, I'm her daughter. Is she ok?"
"Ok, I will need to sit over in the waiting room for news on your mother"
"No! I demand you to tell me what is wrong with my mum now!" Blair shouted in the women's face.
"Excuse me, but you need to calm down or I will call security. Now please take a seat over in the room until we get any news on your mother's condition"
Dorota pulled Blair into the waiting room.
Blair said nothing. The room was silent; it was a private room so it was only Dorota, Blair and Cyrus in the room.
On Blair's right Dorota was in her maids outfit. She turned to look at Blair.
"Mrs Waldorf will be fine" she tried to reassure Blair
Blair eyes where filled with tears. She nodded and grabbed Dorota and Cyrus hands.
It had been about an hour. Blair was now pacing the room.
"Why aren't they telling us anything, Where is my mother?"
Blair started to get frustrated and she started to sweat.
The Doctor came into the room, Cyrus shook his hand.
"Hello, I'm Dr"
Blair interrupted. "I don't care what you name is, now tell me when I can see my mother!"
"Yes of course sorry, but I am so sorry to tell you but.. your mother has sadly passed away about 5 minutes ago."
No one said anything. The doctor continued, "We tried our best but we couldn't get her heart back to normal her normal pulse, due to her on going heart failure condition, it had made the heart attack more serious"
"Heart failure, but I don't understand?" Questioned Cyrus confused.
"Mrs Waldorf has been suffering with heart failure for a couple of months now"
"I never anything about heart failure" Cyrus was still very confused.
"I was Mrs Waldorf doctor and she didn't tell you because she didn't want to worry you all. However this could made her condition much worse due to the stress on her heart. I think one of the main reasons why she didn't tell you all was because she was a very powerful women who didn't want to feel defeated."
Blair was about to scream. Stress on her heart? The order. Her mother probably was so stressed about making the deadline of the order. Blair felt it was her Fault.
"You can go and see her now."
"Thank you doctor, so much" Cyrus shook the man's hand and smiled.
Cyrus started to walk out of the room, Dorota followed. But Blair stayed where she was.
Dorota turned around and helped Blair up by one of her hands on Blair's back and the other holding her hand and walked out of the room to the hospital bed where her mother was lying. She looked cold but she didn't look like she was in any pain.
"Blair, you can have some time to say your goodbyes, me and Dorota will wait outside" Cyrus said with a weak smile then walked out.
"Mother, I'm so sorry" Blair cried then took a seat next to her and held her hand.
"It's my fault, the order was too big for you to handle. Mother you mean so much to me..." She walked to the end of the bed.
"I will make you proud, you will be proud of me." She walked over to her mother. She kissed her forehead.
"I love you" Blair was fully crying now.
She ran out of the room. She felt guilty. She had one way or another killed her mother.
"Blair. Blair..." Cyrus shouted whilst Blair started to speed walk to out of the private room.
"I'm Sorry Cyrus, I'm so sorry" Blair cried and then starting to increase her speed until she was running. She got to the elevator of the hospital. She felt very lightheaded. She felt as if she was going to faint.
She got her phone out and called the only person she wanted to speak to and the only person who will understand.
She had no idea whether the person would answer, or even changed their number.
She dialled the number; she knew it of by heart. She wiped her eyes and then
"Hello" there was a long pause down the line.
"Chuck, I need you." Blair cried down the phone desperately ….
