Previously:

"You're Nate Archibald?" she asked him.

He looked at her weirdly. "I am. How do you know my name?"
"My mom told me about you and my aunt did it, either" she explained.

"My name's Audrey Waldorf" she added. "I am…"

"…Blair's daughter" he finished the sentence for her.

She just nodded; she didn't know what else to say.

"But who is your…" Nate thought out loud, then he turned around focused Chuck.

"You!" he shouted.

And then he stormed to him picked his jacket and slammed him to the wall.

Chapter 15

Nate Archibald always had been quick-tempered. It was hard for him to calm down once the anger had risen up.

And one of the persons he tried to avoid as much as possible was Chuck Bass.

His former best friend was now his enemy. Nate couldn't stand the view of him, every time he looked in those hazel eyes of Chuck he saw Blair.

He didn't know why but he saw her and then there was this image.

The image of her and Chuck and they were together and happy.

They were happier than he had ever been with her.

They say you don't know a good thing until it's gone and Nate had learnt that lesson the hard way.

He had lost Blair once and as soon as he had figured out how hard it was to lose her he had tried everything to win her back and he succeeded and then when he found out that she had been with Chuck and that she had lost her bloody virginity to him he had broken up with her.

Little, did he know that he would want her back again.

"You!" he shouted and slammed Chuck to the wall.

"YOU BASTARD!" Nate spat in Chuck's face.

"How could you? She was my girlfriend! But of course you had to knock her up.

You would fuck a cow without giving a damn!"

"Nathaniel", Chuck hissed, "Could we talk about this without your hands around my neck?"

Chuck stood in front of his limousine he talked with Anthony Goldberg about the latest Gossip Girl blast.

Blair's pregnancy scare…

"I don't know who it was" he claimed as he heard footsteps behind him.

Before he could turn around Nate had gripped his coat and slammed him onto his limousine.

"Did you sleep with her, huh?" His best friend asked furiously.

Chuck didn't say anything. He didn't have to. He could not.

"You son of a bitch I could kill you."

"Look Nathaniel, we can talk about this without your hands around my neck" Chuck suggested as he saw the mad glimmer in his best friend's eyes.

"Did you really think you could do to Blair what you do to all those other girls?"

…

"She needed someone and I was there" Chuck tried to explain himself but he knew it was hopeless. Nate wouldn't listen to him, he didn't give a damn right now.

He wanted revenge and the problem was that Chuck understood him completely. He wouldn't have felt any different.

"You stay the hell away from me!" Nate Archibald yelled at his former best friend as he walked out of his life.

"This feels familiar…" Chuck said the first thing that came to his mind.

"You wanker!" Nate shouted and raised his hand to punch Chuck straight into his face.

"Guys it's enough!"

"Serena!" Audrey shouted in delight.

"Oh my god I am so happy that you're back!"
"I am not back, Audrey. I came to say goodbye", her aunt told her.

"Serena", another voice chocked out, a voice that Serena van der Woodsen hadn't heard in 15 years, a voice that she had dearly missed.

"Nate" she replied low.

"It's good to see you."

"You too. You look well, but tell me where's Blair?"

It wasn't Serena who answered that question, it wasn't Audrey either, to their great surprise it was Chuck.

"She's dead."

The four people went silent, all lost in their own thoughts if they were disbelieving or full of regret.

"What?" Nate finally asked after a long moment. "What the fuck are you talking about? Is this one of your sick jokes again? You're a Bastard, Bass. Because the only person who's dead here is you, you're dead to me!"

"Nate", Serena reached out for him but he flinched as if her touch burned him, "Nate he's telling the truth."

"What?" Nate's eyes wined in shock. "What? Why? How?!"

"Nate..." Serena reached out for him a second time and this time she patted gently his shoulder.

"She died about 15 years ago", another small voice said and Nate looked closely at the petit person who spoke.

He had recognized her, he had known who she was, he had seen her in her but just as much as she resembled her mother she resembled her father.

That's why he had known that Chuck Bass had abandoned Blair in her greatest time of need, that's why he had known that HE had abandoned her, because he was too proud for his own good.

"She died when she gave birth to me. She knew it would happen", Audrey continued looking at her own feet. All she wanted to do was to disappear; she hadn't imagined it like this. This whole "family reunion" was a total disaster. Instead of the loving family she had hoped for she had found a father who was just as corrupted as her mother had told her in her letter.

"Audrey", Serena pulled her into a deep hug. "Stop blaming yourself. We're just going to go to the hotel and then we'll fly back to France."

Serena took Audrey's hand into hers and pulled her away.

"So you are going to act like nothing of this ever happened?" a deep male voice echoed through the room. "Well good luck, sis, but you'll never manage. And most importantly, I'll never manage. Do you really think you can keep away my daughter from me for 15 bloody years? Do you really think you can come here, tell me that the one person I've ever truly loved is dead and then just disappear again? Well, you thought wrong. I would have been there for her, S. But how could I, you didn't give me a chance, you didn't tell me she was going to die, you didn't even tell me that she was pregnant in the first place. So no matter, what you want to do, you're going to do what I want now. I think you owe me that much and I want to get to know my daughter."

He finally looked at Audrey as if he'd see her for the first time, as if he would see her for who she really was.

"If she wants to get to know me too", he finished at the verge of tears.

Audrey didn't know how or when it happened but during his speech something inside of her had suddenly snapped.

This was her father, the one person she had spent most time of her life thinking about and finally he was there and he hadn't left her because he hadn't loved her, he had never left and he had never known about her.

She believed him when he had told Serena that he would have been there for her mother and her, how could a girl not believe her father.

"Yes" she whispered and the same tears he was about to shed were shining in her eyes. "I'd love to get to know you, I'd love to do it more than anything."

And she took a few hesitant steps in his direction and before she knew how it had happened she was in his arms and buried her face in his chest.

With Nate holding Serena's hand while her aunt stoke over her head, she thought that maybe, just maybe, she was going to have a real family after all.
