Breaking Every Rule

Note: I know it's been forever since I've updated. I've had a lot of things going on in my life and fanfiction had to take the back seat for a while, but I'm back! This is a short chapter, but I'll be posting again soon!

Chapter Thirteen: On Love, In Sadness

"Finally," Chuck said, clearly pissed off when Blair took a seat at the table in Café Boulud. "I was two minutes away from leaving." He had been waiting at that table for 45 minutes, and Chuck Bass waited for no one. Obviously, Blair Waldorf was the exception, but that didn't mean that he wasn't a little bit angry.

"Sorry," Blair said simply as she looked at the menu. The waiter came over moments later and she ordered drink. Chuck didn't say anything; he just stared at her, confused. There was definitely something off, but he couldn't figure out exactly what it was. After her drink arrived and she took a huge gulp, ignoring the burning sensation, she glanced up at her boyfriend. "What?"

Chuck opened his mouth to speak, but hesitated. He'd never seen her like this before and had no idea how to approach the situation. Just before he could ask what was wrong, his phone rang. Chuck looked at the caller id and then at Blair. "It's your brother."

Blair's eyes widened and she was about to tell him not to answer, but he already had the phone up against his ear.

"Hey Tyler…Yeah, she's with me…What?" Chuck's mouth opened slightly and he looked at his girlfriend, who was doing everything possible to avoid his gaze. "Oh my God…I'll take care of it." When Chuck ended the phone call, he looked at Blair again, "Blair," he said quietly. Nothing. "Blair," he said her name again, a little firmer, but definitely not mean.

She jumped a little and looked up at him. She had obviously been in some sort of daze. "Yes?" she responded simply.

"Are you ok?"

"Fine." Blair responded and shrugged her shoulders.

"No, Blair, you're not fine. Tyler told me about your mom."

Blair just put up her hand to tell him to stop talking. She just shook her head. "Don't you think I know he told you? I don't want to talk about it Chuck." He opened his mouth to argue, but she cut him off again. "My mother is dead and I really don't want to talk about it. When you get upset about your mom and don't want to discuss it, I respect that, so please, Chuck, just drop it."

"That's completely different."

"How?" she snapped.

"My mother has been dead for ten years. Yours hasn't even been gone an hour." Blair didn't respond, so Chuck let out a breath before continuing. "Why don't we get out of here and go to my suite so we can have some privacy, ok? Nothing needs to be on Gossip Girl yet."

"No," Blair spat as she abruptly stood up and grabbed her purse. "Why don't you go to your suite and leave me the fuck alone?" With that said, Blair stormed out of the restaurant, but Chuck wasn't giving up that easy.

"Blair!" he yelled after her, ignoring the fact that they were in a very public place and he was drawing attention to them. When she didn't stop, he threw some money on the table and ran after her. "Blair! Stop!"

She turned around to glare at him, and didn't say anything. There were no tears, all Chuck could see on her face was anger. "What do you want, Chuck?"

"For you to not block me out." He stated simply. "Please Blair, it's me. You can tell me anything. I'll always be here. Just let me help."

"You can't help this time, Chuck!" she yelled. They didn't realize it at the time, but there were a number of people videotaping this for Gossip Girl. "This isn't like all the other stuff. You can't fix this."

"I know!" he yelled back at her, before immediately calming down. "But I also know what you're going through. I can't make it better but I can be there for you. Don't block me out, ok?"

"Ok." It was all Blair could manage to say before Chuck led her into his limo. He didn't know exactly how to help, but one thing Chuck was sure of was that they needed to get out of there.
