A/N:Another Outtake. I know I said these would be in order but I've doing them as they come to me. I've been trying to get some of the Carter ones out there so we can sort of see his feelings when it comes to Layla and Chuck feels about it.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything except Layla. The beautiful Layla.

Season 1 Episode 10

Chuck and Blair laid on her bed making out when Chuck spoke up.

"You looked pretty hot on Prince Theodore's arm today"

"Oh is that all I am to you, an accessory?" Blair asked.

"Next to him yes. On me you'd be so much more."

"Yes. Well I can't be on you remember? Because you don't want Nate to find out and I don't want anyone to." She said flipping him over

"Layla knows" Chuck said causing Blair to sit up.

"What?!" Why did you tell her? She's Nate's sister. She'll tell him"

"She's also my best friend. She can keep a secret"

"Are you sure?"

A knock was at the door.

"Miss Blair. Mr. Nate for you." Dorota said.

Blair shot off the bed and then turned to Chuck.

"What if she told him?"

"She didn't tell him. I trust her. You should know just as well as I do how well she can keep a secret."

Chuck and Nate waited in the lobby for Layla. Nate was on his phone looking at Gossip Girl.

"Carter Baizen is dating Blair. He's got everybody fooled" Nate said frustrated.

"Blair thinks he's reformed. He's obviously just toying with her to get at you." Chuck said.

"Yeah well it's working"

"We just need to wait to get him in public where everyone can see the truth and we can get him back for everything he's done to you and to Blair" Chuck said and then later thought and for Layla.

"Yeah well when is that going to happen?" Nate asked and Chuck looked up to see Carter walking in.

"Sooner than you think." Chuck said and then spotted Layla. "Now I see your sister at the door and I have a gift for her."

"Why did you have to be the one to escort her?"

"Because like you and Blair we've been discussing Cotillion since we were little. I'm her best friend who else could she possible want to escort her"

"I don't maybe her boyfriend"

"Columbia? She's too good for him" Chuck said and walked away.

Serena sat with Carter holding a cold glass to his face where Nate had punched him. Carter was pretty sure Chuck was behind the whole thing. Did he finally know the truth?

"I'm so sorry" Serena said "I know this isn't what you signed up for"

"It doesn't hurt nearly as bad as waking up that morning in Santorini and finding you had jumped a boat." Carter said knowing how Layla felt. "I now know how the one that got away felt."

"That night wasn't exactly what I had signed up for either. The whole thing caught me off guard"

"I get it I do, which is why I was surprised when Cece called me last week."
"Wait last week, I wasn't going last week"

"Cece thought you would change your mind"

"Thanks Carter. I gotta go"

"No problem."

"About that girl, the one that got away. What exactly did you do to her?" Serena asked curious about his earlier comment. "You said you now know how she felt"

"I ran when things got good. I was scared that I could be vulnerable with her because I never could with anyone else. I just hope that whoever has her heart holds on to it because she's the girl you don't let go of." Carter said and looked over to where Layla was talking on the phone and then back to Serena.

"Wow Carter, I didn't know you could love." Serena replied not noticing who he had looked at.
"Go confront your grandmother. I'll be fine."

A/N: I hope you liked it I know it was super short. I will have another one posted tonight right after I write it.
