Monday it was flowers. Blair usually liked to be the first one to each of her classes but she had gotten caught up with Serena and was a little late getting to homeroom. Just before she walked in the door, Blair received a text from Gossip Girl.

Well, well, well, whatever do we have here? Seems like Queen B had flowers patiently awaiting her arrival at her desk this morning. Whoever could have sent them?

Blair looked down at the picture attached. Blue hydrangeas, her favorite. If she had had any doubt as to who the flowers were from, the picture eliminated it. Damn him, thought Blair as she walked into the room to find that sure enough the bouquet from the picture on Gossip Girl was sitting on her desk. Being the Queen that she was Blair ignored the twenty or so eyes staring at her and simply picked up the bouquet as she sat down. Surprisingly enough there was no card.

At the end of homeroom she stood and walked out the door; heading out to her next class. She was looking at the bouquet and didn't even realize as she ran strait into Chuck.

"Whoa there Waldorf." Chuck said catching her.

Blair extracted herself from his arms and brushed herself off. "What are you doing here Chuck?" She asked as she started walking towards her locker.

Chuck smirked. "I go to school here Blair, remember?" He matched her step for step even as she walked briskly.

Blair rolled her eyes and glared at him. "You know what I meant Chuck. Why were you waiting outside my homeroom?" At this point, Blair was to her locker, trying to do the combination while holding the small bouquet.

Chuck reached out and took the bouquet from her hand so that she could get her locker open. "I told you Blair, I'm not giving up on us. Not again. You told me you love me and now there is absolutely no way I am just going to give you up."

Right at that moment, Blair managed to open her locker, at which point hundreds of flowers tumbled out, falling all over the floor and Blair. "What the hell Chuck?" Blair asked as she tried to gather up the flowers; not failing to notice that they were all hydrangeas, each were different sizes and colors but they were still hydrangeas all the same. Blair immediately started to tear up.

"Surprise." Chuck said with a smile as he got down on his knees to help her.

Once they had all of the flowers gathered, they simply stood there holding them in their arms. "What am I suppose to do with these Chuck? I have class and I can't very well walk around carrying all of these flowers all day."

Chuck shrugged. "Don't worry about it, I'll have them taken care of."

"Ugh." Blair uttered glaring once more before tossing the flowers at Chuck and storming off.

Blair had been relieved every time she walked into a class for the rest of the day. She kept thinking that more flowers were going to spontaneously appear around every corner and on each of her classroom desks. However, she had thankfully avoided any more floral disasters. Unfortunately there was something else that she hadn't been able to avoid, Chuck. He had been at every single one of her classroom doors all day; walking her from class to class. She tried ignoring him thinking that maybe he would just go away; but he walked with her all the same, mostly just saying nothing.

After Chuck showed up to walk her to five of her classes Blair finally said something. "Chuck, what are you doing?"

Chuck just shrugged and kept walking with her, sauntering down the hallway in a way that only Chuck would, so she stopped moving. "I said, what are you doing?"

He had stopped with her and at this he looked at her straight in the eyes. "I already told you this once today, I'm not giving up."

Blair glared, "Yeah, you've made that perfectly clear, but what exactly does walking next to me not saying a word have to do with that."

Chuck took a step towards her but didn't get too close. He was just doing it so that he might speak lower and she could still hear him. "It's okay that you don't get it Blair; but for me, being near you is enough. Well, it's not enough, but it's something. It's also important to me to constantly remind you that I'm not going anywhere." After he finished Chuck took a step back, making sure he didn't crowd her.

Blair stood there looking at him for a minute before saying in a low voice. "I wish you wouldn't."

He held back the desire to just reach out and touch her, to tuck her hair behind her ear, to lean in and kiss her. He held it back because he didn't want to scare her away. "I want you to be happy Blair. I want you to be happy more than I want to be happy. If I thought that you would be happier, that your life would be better if I wasn't in it then I would leave you alone. That's the only way that I could do that." Chuck paused for a moment searching her eyes, looking for something, anything to say that he was getting through to her. Her eyes betrayed nothing and so he continued. "I can make you happy Blair, I know that I can. I swear to you that I wouldn't be here putting you through this again if I didn't."

Blair started walking again and Chuck joined her. Right as they were nearing her classroom, she turned to him. "You broke me Chuck and I am just trying to put the pieces back together for what seems like the thousandth time."

Chuck lost his control and interrupted. "I know that Blair, don't you think I know that? I'm not the only one who's hurt you, Nate, Marcus, Serena, your mom, and your father by leaving; all of them have hurt you. I was there, I helped pick up the pieces every time Blair."

This time it was Blair's turn to interrupt. "Yeah, except for when it was you who broke me, right Chuck?"

Their conversation was becoming intense and they were drawing a lot of attention from everyone around them but Chuck didn't give a damn. "And it's always going to come back to that isn't it Blair? Yes, I gave you up when you had run back to Nate, I'm sorry I felt like you had hurt me just as badly as I had hurt you. I made up for that. Yes, I left you to go to Tuscany by yourself; I was scared. I made up for that. Then I pushed you away this fall because you wanted something from me that you weren't willing to give yourself. And I'm sorry I keep messing up but I swear to you that I've grown up. I've learned from my mistakes. You are the most important thing to me in this world, you're all I have."

Blair looked as though she was about to give in, she broke eye contact. "I can't trust you not to break me again, no matter the reason. Maybe it just wasn't meant to be." At that she turned to walk into her classroom.

Chuck reached out and grabbed her arm and she reluctantly turned her head. "I can't believe that Blair."

She looked him straight in the eye when she said in a firm voice. "I can."

Chuck let go of her arm and she moved into the classroom. They were done for today at least. Yet Chuck still had a lot of work to do to prove himself.
