Handling Two Blairs Chapter 2
The last time Blair Waldorf saw Claire was when she was fifteen and Claire was eleven. Now Blair is eighteen turning nineteen soon while Claire is fifteen. Everything back then was so different. She believed life was like a movie, always exciting, with a happy end; like Audrey's. She had a perfect plan, one that involved Nathaniel Archibald. She would get accepted to Yale, get Nate's ring, and they would become successful together. Wow, was she wrong. Maybe Nate cheating with her back then had to happen in order for her to have her true prince. After all Nate ever really paid attention like Chuck Bass does. Chuck and Blair need each other or else they fall apart. They are inevitable. Blair did not get into Yale but maybe it's because that was her old plan and she needed a new old. Soon she would go to Colombia and this would be her future, not her daddy's or mother's, just her's. The future that Chuck helped her get.
"Where to?" the cab driver asked.
"The airport." Blair said with a yawn. The wild night she had after another night of being chased after Chuck and him telling her that he'll never leave her alone if she does not give him a chance and then leaving in his limo to the Palace was awfully exhausting. The six hours of sleep was not nearly the amount she needed.
"You do know that's at the other side of New York?"
"Yes and you'll do what I ask because I'm Blair Waldorf or do you want to get fired by Chuck Bass?" She smirked bitchily, loving how when you said Chuck's name everyone did what was asked. Blair could not deny that she was not loving the control.
XOXO XOXO
She is waiting in the waiting area of the California arrivals. The plane is an hour delayed and it's driving Blair Waldorf crazy. This is taking god damn forever. I should of just agreed to take Chuck at least then I could of past the time with something to do instead of looking through old magazines. She fixed her messed up bun and made it neat. Then Blair smiled when she felt her cell phone vibrating, which meant she had received a text, hoping that it was Chuck she reached for her cell phone.
Have u heard anything from Nate? He's not answering my calls or texts... -S
She rolled her eyes at the text from Serena, slightly annoyed. Not that she did not like Serena, it was just that her and Serena are not the friends they used to be. Now the only time Serena talks to her is when it's about her Nate problems. She just wanted to at times just tell her, "Well, it's your fault for all this after all you kissed Dan Humphrey."
No, Serena I did not hear anything about your ex-boyfriend. Where are you anyway?-B
She looked at the time, great she had fifty minutes more to wait. She should go shopping if she wanted to look good, since her outfit was not this season at all.
I'm in London! I wanted to get away. -S
Blair was not even going to reply to this text from Serena. She hated how Serena runs away when a little part of her life was bad.. Serena was never clear who she wanted. If she wanted Nate, Dan, or Carter she never made it just about one of them but involved two. But about about her? Blair hated how Serena doesn't realize that whenever she needed a friend the most it was never her.
She went into Chanel, the store in the airport that she would be getting her outfit at. Looking around, she felt satisfied when she grabbed a white dress. It looked perfect. Maybe when she tried it on she would not look so terrible. Blair looked in the mirror at the white dress that went couple inches above her knees. It was from the summer collection and it was called a cotton tweed dress with hand-embroidered trims, fantasy fabric. The white on her tanned beautiful summer skin made her look like she never would have thought she would. She also had this glow in her eyes, probably from being in love.
XOXO XOXO
The plane has just arrived and Blair stood up waiting for Claire. She did not know how she would recognize her after so long. She sees people holding up signs and flowers. Was Blair supposed to hold a sign? No Blair does not hold signs for people, Claire will just find her. I didn't change that much. I just don't wear headbands and keep my hair straight.
Claire went to the arrivals room after getting her three juicy couture bags. She looked around the people to find Blair. It was not too hard to do when her cousin was the most gorgeous person in the room. She walked up to her while her cousin was still looking straight ahead.
"Blair! Hello over her." She sighs standing right in front of Blair now.
"Clairee! Your wearing my mom's collection and a headband. You look so grown up." Blair could not believe how different Claire looked now. She had this edgy look around her that did not look like she followed the California style. Her eyes and her hair were definitely from her mom's side of the family.
"Let's skip the formalities Blair. I pretty much know everything about you." Claire said in a tone that meant really that she did not want to talk about the weather or about pointless non-important things.
"How? We had not seen each other for four years." Blair knew this would be hard since Claire was even worse than Blair Waldorf not around family because she did not a nice lovable father like Harold.
"Gossip Girl. I subscribed just to get an update on you and Nate." Claire stated.
"Nate? We're talking about Nathaniel Archibald here?" Why would Claire to get updates from Gossip Girl about Nate?
"Yes, Blair. Nate Archibald who else?" Claire rolled her eyes at how times had changed.
The cab driver placed the suitcases into the back of the cab. While they went in to sit.
"Why do you want updates on Nate?" Blair was still confused on what could be so interesting about Nate.
"Blair don't you remember anything that we did when I came over?"
This was four years ago the last time Blair saw Claire. Blair just wanted to leave the apartment and go to Nate's house.
"Mother can I please go and see Nate now." Fifteen year old Blair said with her arms crossed stubbornly.
"Blair dear I told you already when you have guests over you can not leave." Eleanor said sitting by her sister Caroline.
"Claire sweetie do you want to come to my boyfriend Nate's house?" Blair asked her eleven year old cousin while kneeing down to Claire's height.
"Um yess!" Claire said excited to meet a older boy.
"Then it's settled mother I'll just take Claire with me." She smiled proudly at what a genius she is.
"No Blair. You not leaving this house. Nate apartment is–"
"is at the around the corner." Blair finished her mom's sentence.
"Eleanor I guess it would not hurt to left them both go. I mean Claire likes Blair and Blair can handle taking care of Claire." Caroline said to Eleanor.
"Well, if you say so Caroline."
"Thank you Aunt Caroline! Let's go Claire." Blair left the apartment with Claire.
"We went to Nate's place." Blair said smiling after remembering a whole week with Claire and Nate. They used to go around Upper East Side and play house together. She was the mom, Nate was the dad, and Claire was their child.
"Yeah and you guys pretty much taught me everything. Do you remember when we first went ice skating at Central Park?" Claire wanted to just go back to past.
"Blair I don't know how to ice skate!" Little Claire said afraid of falling in the ice.
"That does not matter Claire-bear me and Natie will teach you how." Blair said to her little cousin while holding on to Nate's hand.
"Really?" Claire looked at them with her big brown eyes.
"Of course now come on!" Nate told her knowing she'll listen to him.
"Now Claire-bear hold my one hand and Nate's other hand. You'll be in the middle so you don't fall and get hurt."
Then a crowd of people started to ice-skate by them. Blair knew this would not be good so she picked up Claire. When they fell down they were all laughing hysterically.
"See Claire-Bear I told you wouldn't get hurt." Blair said to her.
"I know Blair and believed you." Claire proudly stated.
Then Nate pulled Blair closer and kissed her lightly. Claire just looked at them admirably.
"Yes and that was a great day. But a year later everything crashed."
"Right but do you still have feelings for Nate?" Claire wanted to Blair to feel the way that she used to about Nate because what she seen at that day was when she believed in love.
"No, of course not. We're just sort of friends right now. I'm with Chuck Bass now." Blair smiled just thinking about Chuck.
"You mean that big asshole of Manhattan. Blair I thought Gossip Girl was lying about the posts of you two?" She annoyed that Blair would just forgive him after what thinks he had done.
"Claire. You do not know Chuck Bass. You never even met Chuck. So don't say ideas about him when the only ideas you have about him are from that rumor site Gossip Girl." Blair said while leaving the cab with Claire. Why is she not happy for me?
"Sorry, I just don't feel like he deserves you Blair." Claire got her bags and was going into the apartment with Blair.
"As Nate deserves me right? I tried it with Nate if you wanted to know and he manipulated and didn't feel like our relationship was going to go anywhere." Blair pressed the elevator button.
The ride in the elevator was awfully silent. When they finally reached their destination, there was surprise which was bad at the moment.
Chuck was standing there with a small smile thinking this would be the perfect surprise. "Hey Blair and you must be Claire. Pleasure to meet you."
Blair gave him a look that said this is horrible, you have to get out. Chuck did not think that Blair meant that so he stood there.
Claire looked at Chuck silently not saying a word.
So that's chapter 2. Is this any good? Review and tell me what you think so far about this story! -UnwrittenGirl a.k.a Christina
