Chapter 4.
Blair was sitting down sipping the bottle of water that Beatrice gave her. After her confrontation with Chuck she met up with Serena and Beatrice. Dinner Plans were ditched and the gang went on their separate ways.
Blair's phone started ringing. "Let me." Beatrice said and she took out Blair's phone from her purse. "Chuck, just let Blair be." Beatrice answered. Blair was staring from afar, deep in her thoughts. "She's okay, Serena and I will bring her home. Bye." She told Chuck and hung up.
"Was I wrong?" Blair asked looking at Serena and Beatrice. "Am I a horrible person?" She added. She felt guilty.
"Of course not." Serena answered, rubbing Blair's back.
"Go! Make up with him! Then break up again, then get back together again, then break up again." Beatrice said.
"Bea, shouldn't we help them fix this? Chuck's our friend too." Serena said glaring at Beatrice.
"Serena, they can't fix this if Blair's not okay, and Blair will never be fine as long as they are together. Right Blair?" She answered Serena then looked at Blair. Blair looked back at her thinking.
"What happens tomorrow?" Blair asked.
"Blair, you know me. I'd usually tell you to try and fix things, but if this is really what both of you need then just be strong." Serena told Blair "It's going to be painful and difficult but hopefully all the pain will be worth it." She added as Blair sighed.
The next day, Chuck was sitting down next to Blair at the table and stared at their framed photo. He was waiting for her to finish talking to her boss. He saw them shake hands through the glass wall of the office as if they made some sort of agreement.
Blair fast approaching her spot, took a box from the corner and put it on top of her desk. Chuck stared at her as she put all of her things in the box. He stood up and tried to stop her. "Blair, what are you doing?" Chuck asked her. She just ignored him. "Blair, talk to me." He added. Blair continued to ignore him and kept putting things away. She closed it leaving their photo behind. She held the box and brought it with as she left. "Blair, wait up!" Chuck called as he stood in front of her. He tried to touch her but she moved back and walk past by him. "Blair! Blair!" Chuck called after her. "Do you really want to get away from me that bad?" He asked and tried to keep up with her.
"Not everything is about you Chuck." She finally answered.
"Then why the hell are you doing this?" Chuck snapped.
"Because this is what I want." Blair replied. They reached the elevator and she pushed the button.
"What about us?" Chuck continued to ask. "What about our plans? The wedding?!" The elevator opened and Blair walked inside. "I thought you said nothing would change." He pressed as he went in after her. "Blair, what about us?"
She looked at him. "There's no more 'us', Chuck." she said.
He stared at her. "That's it? Five years, Blair. You're just going to throw that all away?" Chuck stated. "You're not even going to give me another chance to fix this?" He added.
Blair not giving away any emotions, stared at the elevator doors. "I already gave 5 years of my life to this relationship Chuck. It's about time you give me what I want." She told him.
"But Blair, you're asking for too much." He said, pain radiating across his chest. "You want to disappear from my life." Tears were now forming his eyes, but Blair stood still. "Blair..." He started to say but the elevator reached the main floor and doors opened and Blair walked out. "Even if it's hard, let's fix this. If this is about me being too controlling you know I'm trying right?" He told Blair. She spotted the town car she called earlier. "Blair wait, just wait..." Chuck called after her. He stopped her from opening the car door, but she refused to be stop by him, she put the box inside. "You know it's easy to give up but you're not a quitter."
She turned to face him. "Chuck, I need this. You need it too."
"But I need you." He said holding both of her hands. Without hesitation, Blair removed her hands from his and went inside the car, slamming the door. "Blair please!" Chuck tapped the window, calling her for the millionth time. "Please!" The car just drove away. Chuck sighed. He was on the verge of crying.
Blair, inside the car, sighed loudly. Tears were forming her eyes. She can't take it any longer. She put her hand on her mouth and started crying. She wiped her tears and exhaled and told the driver to keep driving.
Chuck arrived at his penthouse and headed straight to the living room, looking at the couch on his left and imagining Blair lying there, sleeping. He closed his eyes and opened them again. Blair's body vanished. He walked to the kitchen and a memory flashed back his mind
"Wait! Wait! Is that so? Here it comes!" Blair said giggling and laughing"
He stared down and started walking towards his bedroom. Another memory flashed back.
"Hi baby!" Blair said only wearing a towel. She frowned and asked "Hmm, bad day?" She stroked his cheek and kissed him lightly.
Chuck sat down on the bed and started crying.
"Happy Anniversary!" They said, greeting each other in unison. Blair put her hands on Chuck's face as it started to rain. "Oh no!" Blair said.
"Quick!" He added. Blair grabbed the umbrella beside her. Both of them were laughing she opened it. "You're already wet!" Chuck said wiping her cheeks. They both laughed and giggled as Chuck leaned down to kiss her.
Blair arrived at her room and walked inside her closet. Sitting down with her legs crossed, she was looking at her 'Chuck' box. She took out a framed photo of them together on New Years Eve. A snapshot of Chuck dipping her, hollywood style. Both of them smiling at each other. She touched the photo and tears started spilling on her cheeks. She put it back, a little too hard and tossed it aside. She started crying harder as she put her face in her hands.
A few weeks later…
"Maybe it's Blair at the door, Chuck!" Nate called for him in the living room. The elevator dinged, telling them that someone arrived. Chuck stood up eagerly from the bed and opened his bedroom door, fixing his hair, he saw Dan holding up Blair's 'Chuck' box.
"Blair sent this." He told Chuck, who just shook his head and went back to his room.
Nate looked up from what he was doing. "Sorry, wrong girl" He said, jokingly, and laughing at Dan. Dan just put down the box on Nate's lap, making him groan.
6:55 am
Chuck woke up to his phone ringing. It was an alarm:
*Remember: Wake Blair up*
Blair woke up and removed her sleeping mask. Her phone beeped and she saw she had a reminder from Chuck:
*Wake up now. I love you very much :-(*
She sighed as she read it. She put the phone down and stood up, getting ready to start her day.
Blair went to her hair and beauty salon. The security guard greeted her as he opened the door for her. "Good morning, Ms. Waldorf". Blair smiled. She wanted a change and decided to change her hair. After she finished, she walked out of the salon with a sleek bob. She looked more sophisticated. She felt more like herself. This is the change that she wanted and now she starting to get it.
Chuck, being as miserable as he is, stayed in his room all day.
"Dude let's go out!" Nate said, trying his best to convince Chuck to get up.
"Let's go out!" Carter did the same. They pulled down the covers and pulled Chuck to his feet.
"Time to get back in the dating game!" Nate said.
"I don't want to!". Chuck fought back.
"Let's go man!" Nate said. They finally got him to stand up and practically dragged Chuck out of his room.
"Chuck, this is my good friend, Babe." Nate introduced his leggy brunette friend. "Babe, this is Chuck."
Chuck sat there, not paying attention at all. He just looked around, locking his eyes with a woman standing across the club. The woman raised her glass to him, but Chuck ignored her and rolled his eyes.
"Chuck, I think you need a break?" Eleanor told him. She had called him for help and invited him for lunch at her penthouse. She had started her new line for Men's Formal and since Chuck knows many people, she decided to go to him for help.
"Don't bother, I already contacted some investors." Chuck said smiling at Eleanor.
"Mom, we need to buy this pattern for your design." Blair said, as she walked downstairs. She immedeately stopped when she saw Chuck having lunch with her mother.
Eleanor stood up and walked over to Blair, who just stared at Chuck. Her face giving nothing away. Chuck stood up, looking into Blair's eyes.
"Mom, let's not force the issue please." Blair said coldly to Eleanor and she headed back upstairs.
Chuck was at the club, drinking his fifth scotch. Nate and Carter, who was on his phone, were sitting in front of him, both drinking a beer. A blonde woman was sitting next to them. The woman was staring at Chuck. She could tell how miserable he was. She just looked back down and swirled her drink.
"Just ten seconds. I promise." He told himself, staring at Blair from his limo across the street. She seemed so happy and cheerful.
Outside her building, she was with Serena and Beatrice. They were having a girl's night out. Chuck continued to look at Blair through his window and started counting "1... 2... 3... 4... 5..." Blair was giggling as Beatrice whispered something in her ear. Serena was holding Blair's arms, laughing. "Please" Chuck said, quietly, to himself, waiting for Blair to look at him. "7... 8..." She continued to laugh. "Just one look please..." Chuck kept whispering. "...10" He sighed and put up the window a little too late.
She turned and saw Chuck as the window was going back up. He was there watching her, she realized. She felt a strong pain across her chest and she clutched her jacket when Serena called her. "Blair, c'mon!"
