Hey there! Haven't updated in a long time, I know, :)
I have no excuses this time, just that I've been getting pretty lazy with updating my story.
Not my best chapter I'm afraid, but it's still something. :$

Make me happy and review?

Just Because I'm Losing, Doesn't Mean I'm Lost.

Chapter No.6

Nate started heading back towards Serena. He'd decided to give them some privacy earlier, because it was obvious that Blair was trying to comfort her about Dan. When he got back though, Serena was alone.

"Where's Blair?" Nate asked nervously. She had been here just 5 minutes ago.

"I don't know. She went into the forest to use the washroom. It's been a while though, maybe I should go check up on her. You wait here," Serena replied, standing up and brushing the sand off of her tattered Chanel tank and Sevens jeans.

Nate had already ditched his tshirt and was only wearing his board shorts; the sun had already been working its magic on him. He sat down and looked up at the stars in the early twilight sky. You really couldn't see many stars in New York. Who knew there were so many? They were beautiful.

"Nate! She's gone!" Serena cried out frantically. She had tears in her eyes and she looked scared.

"What do you mean she's gone?" Nate could swear his heart had stopped.

"She's not here Nate! I looked everywhere and I can't find her!" Serena said. Where could have Blair gone? Was she okay?

Nate made up his mind. "I have to find her," he declared. She could be hurt, and might need their help. He was going to find her, and be her prince charming. He didn't know what he would do if anything happened to Blair.

"Natie, no!" Serena said. "You could get lost too, and I don't want to be alone out here. We don't even have any food or water."

Serena was right. He couldn't leave her alone. And if they went together, he was certain they'd get lost and not be able to find the beach again. "Okay," he gave in. "We'll stay here."

"I hope she's okay," Serena whispered really quietly, but Nate still heard her, probably because he was thinking the exact same thing.

Present

"HUMPHREY! Wait for me!" Blair whined. "It's dark, cold, and I'm scared."

"I'll keep you warm, Waldorf." Chuck said smoothly.

Blair gave him a dirty look. "No thank you Bass, I'll be fine," she said coldly as she bent down to pick up a few sticks and branches from off of the floor.

Without much help from Chuck, Dan and Blair had gathered enough wood and they'd headed back to their campsite. It wasn't much, with only a couple of logs to sit on arranged in a circle, but it was better than nothing.

Dan was keeping himself occupied by busily rubbing two sticks together to try to start a fire, Blair was just staring off into blank space, and Chuck was watching Blair. Blair wasn't stupid, she felt Chuck's eyes on her, and just tried her best to ignore him. There was a slight breeze in the air and Blair shivered a little. After all, the only thing she had on was her summer dress.

"You're cold," Chuck said as he handed his jacket over to Blair. "Here, take this." Chuck's hand brushed over her shoulder as he put the jacket on her, and Blair felt the burn of his fingertips onto her skin. It was like a bolt of electricity running through both of their bodies; they had both felt it.

"Thanks," Blair said, and she meant it. She looked at him, and it was the first time their eyes had connected all evening. She felt like she was being drawn to him, like a magnet, and she tried to fight it off, but she couldn't, so she just stared at his eyes.

Chuck couldn't pull his eyes away. He was so stupid, and he knew he shouldn't have done what he had done. "I'm sorry, Blair," he said quietly.

"I know," Blair said nodding. Chuck could be such an ass sometimes, but he had so many feelings inside, which is why she had fallen for him in the first place. She gave him a small smile.

"Ah hem," Dan coughed annoyingly. "While you two were staring at each other, which I still don't understand the point of, I actually accomplished something." He said, referring to the small flame he had created.

And just like that, Blair and Chuck's moment was over, and Blair put Chuck's jacket down near the fire and lay down on it, trying to go to sleep. She heard her stomach grumble, and she was pretty sure Dan and Chuck did too, but she ignored it. They'd worry about the important things like water and food tomorrow. Now, all she had to do was sleep and dream about being rescued. She wondered about what everyone thought back at in New York. Was Eleanor upset, or had she not even noticed Blair was gone? What about her father, Dorota, or Roman? Anyways, it was time for her to sleep, so she cried herself to sleep. It had been a long day, and she needed some rest.

Water is my eye
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Of a confession
Fearless on my breath
Most faithful mirror
Fearless on my breath
Teardrop on the fire
Fearless on my breath
