Thank you, you're the best.
Whenever you need it
Dan had been hugging her for almost ten minutes, she had stopped crying. She felt better.
"Now what about some Hepburn movies?" Dan wanted to cheer her up and he knew Audrey would always cheer her
"Yeah, why not?" Blair wanted to rest, she was hormonal and sad, she was tired
"What about Charade? That always puts a smile in your face." Dan knew all of her favorites movies.
"Nah, I feel more like Roman Holiday."
"Roman Holiday it is." Dan wanted to please, he wasn't going to fight with a sad and hormonal Blair. She could be deadly. He wasn't gonna take that risk.
"I'll got tell Dorota to make some popcorn."
Dan went down the stairs, he found Dorota in the kitchen.
"Hey. Dorota, do you have popcorn," He saw Dorota was chopping onions, he was standing in the door of the kitchen watching her and waiting for an answer. Dorota seemed busy, she went closer to her.
"Need any help?" Dan asked politely. He had practice cooking since he had been a waiter and attended some parties. He had done that when he wanted to enter to Yale and when Rufus had some economic problems.
Dan came closer and that's when he saw some tears in Dorota's face.
"Dorota, are you ok?" "He sounded concerned. What was going on?"
"Nothing, Mr. Humphrey, its onions." "They make Dorota cry." Dorota didn't sound like she was crying because of the onions, she sounded like she had been crying for a long time.
"Dorota, you and I both know, that you're not crying because of that." "You can tell me why."
Dan thought to himself he could become a shrink, he had given 2 therapies in less than 1 hour, he laughed inside.
"Dorota is concerned of Miss Blair, she lot of drama."
"Oh Dorota don't be concerned she'll be alright." "Nothing happened." "She'll be ok."
Dan was trying to make her feel comfortable.
"But, there's more, I saw envelope of doctor." "I didn't tell anyone but..."
"What?" Dan was trying to get the truth out, not that it cared because now he knew and Chuck knew and Louis, no harm was going to be caused about Dorota's mess up.
"I guilty for envelope discovery". Dorota was crying so loudly, she couldn't stop herself.
"C'mon Dorota, don't cry like that, we don't want Blair to notice."
"I destroy Ms. Blair's happiness. I left envelope in drawer hidden but Mr. Louis found it."
"Dorota, it was not your fault, he found out but its ok now". Dan was trying to make her feel better; it was truly not her fault that Louis didn't trust Blair.
"No one will know". Dan had been keeping secrets for a long time, actually since he ever met the UES; it wasn't weird that he had to keep one more secret.
Dan hugged her, Dorota was also pregnant and hormonal, she felt guilt and he had made her feel better.
After a few minutes of waiting Blair saw Dan in the door.
"Hey, you took long enough Humphrey… "
Dan walked in with a big bowl of popcorn in one hand and in the other two cups and a bottle of sprinkling water which was Evian that looked icy cold, he sat on the bed.
"I'm starved and so thirsty" With that Blair took some popcorn and began eating, one by one.
Dan went for her MacBook, when he found it, he took it, opened it and entered to Netflix, when he found the movie. He went and laid next to Blair, he took the laptop again and pushed play. The movie started.
It was really late, cold and the city was almost empty
"Hey Monkey, how you doing boy?" Chuck kneeled to pet his dog, he had just entered the penthouse after a whole day of meetings about Bass Industries, and all he wanted to do is sleep.
Chuck entered the kitchen, grabbed Monkey's plate and put some biscuits in it. Money started eating.
In the way to his room, Chuck began to undress, first one to fall was his jacket, it was from the 2011 collection of Michael Kors, then his Bottega's. They were brown; he loved this Bottega's.
Next up was his shirt, it was from Hermes, it had been a gift from Blair, in his birthday, and he loved this shirt only because Blair had given it to him.
When he reached his bed, he sat, he was really tired, he lied down for a moment, but he had fallen sleep with only his trousers remaining.
Chuck found himself in a big street with a building in the end, Chuck began to run; he wanted to reach the building, what was in there? What was waiting inside for him?
With every stride, his heart got faster, when he was about to reach it, almost at the door, there was another street of distance, there were lots of people in the street, they wouldn't let him run, Chuck didn't recognize, he had never seen them, they all looked like normal New Yorkers.
He was about to reach it, when he realized that he could never reach it, he was tired, he couldn't run anymore, his whole body ached, he was exhausted. He fell to the floor, he sat, trying to catch his breath, he could feel the sweat in his forehead, he lowered his head and suddenly all the people around him disappeared
He didn't realize until he raised his head, and saw that the building door was right in front of him, there was a man waiting to open the door for him. He stood up and walked towards the door, when he entered, he realized the building was the Empire, it didn't look like it from the outside but in the inside it was the same, he started walking, when suddenly someone called his name…
Mr. Charles… it was the concierge; he reached for her when he saw himself talking to her…
Real Chuck was trying to talk but no one seemed to listen or even see him.
Both Chuck's looked exactly alike, they were wearing the same suit, except real Chuck was wearing a blue tie and Chuck #2 a red one, apart from that they were the same.
Mr. Charles, we received a note, the lady extended her hand to give it to Chuck #2.
Chuck saw over the other Chuck shoulder, the note said…
Come find me
-W
Chuck immediately thought about Blair, she would always sign her messages like this, it was more common that she would put a B instead a W but it was the same.
When Chuck #2 finished reading it, he started talking.
-Did she say where I could search for her? He sounded exactly like him, the same voice.
-We got a phone call, we think it was from her, she said that in floor 23, Chuck #2 started walking to the elevator; he was decided to go look for her.
Real Chuck followed, he also wanted to find Blair, and maybe that was what was inside the building for him
To the 23th, Chuck #2 said, there were more people in the elevator. The elevator was in floor 10th when the doors opened. More people got in, again it was people Real Chuck didn't know or that he had ever seen in his life.
When they finally reached the 23th floor, the doors opened and for some strange reason it was a skyscraper rooftop, he realized this because there was a big H in the center which is obvious in a skyscraper to be of a heliport. Also the building was really high; it looked like the Empire State Building
Chuck #2 got off also did Real Chuck.
Chuck turned around and there she was, Blair with an obvious baby bump in a red dress standing in the ledge of the skyscraper, seeing this, Real Chuck remembered when Blair had saved him from the ledge of the Empire, she had always been there for him, he wanted to talk to her but then he remembered no one could see or hear him.
When Chuck #2 approached her, trying not to scare her, she started to yell with sobs
"How could you do this, Chuck?"
"Why, did you hurt me some bad, Chuck?"
"All I ever did is love you"
Chuck #2 started talking…
Why would you kill yourself?
"I can't deal with the pain anymore" She was still sobbing
"Just, tell me why?"
"Because I don't want you anymore"
Chuck #2 was being a true jerk, just like real Chuck had been before; he could never do this anymore
"And in fact, I don't care if you throw yourself from a building, or do whatever you want"
And with that Chuck #2 turned his back and walked towards the elevator
Real Chuck wanted to kill him right, how he could deny help or his love from Blair, he tried to grab him but then he realized he was like a ghost in there, Chuck #2 got in the elevator and went away
Blair was crying loudly right now, Real Chuck could see the tears in her face, he hated when Blair cried, he could realize she was hurt and it made him really angry and sad
Real Chuck was trying to talk to her, she couldn't hear him, he was yelling, he could feel the sweat in his forehead again
"Blair please don't do it, don't you realize that I love you!"
Chuck could feel the tears in his eyes, the sweat in his forehead, everything
Suddenly, Blair tripped from the ledge, Chuck ran trying to catch her hand but he didn't reach, he jumped to the abysm also believing that he could catch her and survive, he was trying to reach for, Blair didn't make any sound.
In some point of the fall, he almost took her hand, but he was still a ghost, he couldn't touch her also, just when he was about to crash in the pavement, he woke up.
