The party had been going rather well in my opinion. Blair was the center of attention and I don't think I have seen her so happy since we had been dating before everything seemed to go to hell overnight. Nobody had tried to pull a scheme which was good for them because this Blair's special night and even though we were barely friends I would not let anyone ruin it for her myself included. I was pretty sure that nobody would try to pull anything since not only was I at this party, but Nathaniel and Serena were as well. Everyone knew if you screwed with one of us then you would face the wrath of the other three.

I had actually gone in to the other room to grab the present I had bought for her which happened to be a diamond bracelet. I would have gone with a necklace, but since she would no doubt have me help her put it on I thought it would be best to go with a bracelet considering a necklace would go around her throat and Blair had a beautiful throat and collarbones. Yes, had been best to go with the bracelet. Knowing my ex as well as I did I know she will absolutely adore the bracelet. I'd even had her name engraved inside of the bracelet to make sure that if it was ever lost or stolen nobody would be able to pawn it for some quick cash.

As soon as I entered the main room where the party was taking place I could both hear and see my ex singing on the big television set in the room. My eyes immediately found her and I could read the hate resting there. Did she really think I had done this? We had a treaty and I wouldn't go back on my word even if I did hate this peace thing we had going on. Still, what could she think I had to gain from showing this and at her party of all places? I cringed as the on screen Blair hit a particularly high note as the song ended and the screen went black.

Since I had been standing my Nate it did not take her long to track us down. I know my friend had been talking to me, but I couldn't focus on his words since I knew a storm was headed my way in the shape of Blair Waldorf. She was stomping over in our direction and her face was red in anger. She was beautiful and dangerous all at the same time. I straightened my spine and braced myself for whatever was to come next. Unlike everyone else in the room I would not back down or cower in fear. If there was one person who was more frightening than Blair Waldorf it was Chuck Bass.

"You know how ashamed I am of that video! 'Stand By Your Man'?" She snapped practically stabbing me with her icy glare. She did not even bother to glance over at Nate because her anger was one hundred percent aimed my way. "Gossip girl is offering a cash reward. It only takes one video to topple an entire career. If you don't believe me just Youtube Connie Chung piano!"

I raised my left hand to try and get her to calm down. She was almost screaming at me and I knew if she did not lower her voice soon people would start to gather around us in order to listen. I was trying to keep an already tense situation from getting any worse. "Blair, just listen to me-"

"Why did you do it?" A look of hurt crossed over her features and damn it I felt guilty not because I had done the things she was accusing me of, but because of how easily she jumped to me being the person who would want to cause her pain. Had I really damaged her that bad? Would we ever be able to repair our friendship or would my mistakes always be in the way? "Because I knew that Jack was in Chili last summer? I only found out because I was desperate for news of you."

"You were?" I had to admit I had not seen that coming. Blair made it pretty clear she hated me for what I had done to her and for her to go looking for information about a man she is supposed to hate did not make sense. Perhaps she cared more than she was letting on?

"All summer when I was pretending not to care." The tone of her voice softened a bit as she revealed this little bit of information. I am not sure if she realized how her expression changed from anger to remorse or not. I figured she didn't know since Blair hated to be seen as weak and showing remorse was a form of weakness. "I wanted to know where you were. I paid a private eye to look, but the only Bass he caught was your scaly Uncle."

There were so many things I could have said in this moment, things I probably should be saying and yet I decided against it. What good would it do to rehash the pain of the past? Instead I chose to focus on this latest problem. "Blair, as much as I hate being at peace with you I didn't do this."

The look on her face morphed back in to a mix of anger and disgust. It was pretty obvious she did not believe a word I said. "If you can stand there and lie to my face then you're either pure evil or just a common sociopath."

"You really believe that?" I snapped feeling my temper start to boil out of control. I was a lot of things, but one thing I wasn't was a liar.

If I told her I had nothing to do with this then she should know I am telling her the truth. I had always been truthful with Blair if she outright accused me of something. If I was behind a scheme then I wanted to get the credit for the destruction it caused. Also I was highly offended she thought showing the 'Stand By Your Man' tape would be the best revenge I could come up with. If I had wanted to hurt Blair then I would have done it using one of the many secrets I knew about her. I could destroy her entire future with just a few simple words and so I had no need to use some silly tape of one drunken moment.

"Of course I do!" Blair hissed as her eyes met mine. She held my stare for a few seconds before I turned away to look at Nate who shook his head. She waited until she had my full attention once more before she began to speak again. I clenched my jaw to stop from screaming at her. "And even if Nate and Serena peaked at the treaty you're the only one with a motive."

"Actually there was someone else." A voice sounded from behind my ex and we all looked past her to see Dan Humphrey standing there with a smug smile.

Oh you have got to be fucking kidding me? We had been outsmarted by Brooklyn? I really must be losing my touch because I had no idea he would take it this far. I had never really considered him a threat before. "Is this a joke?"

"You did this?" Blair narrowed her eyes at him and I could she wanted to lunge and choke the life out of the wannabe writer. The only thing holding her back was knowing it would cause a scene and we had enough of one going already.

Dan took a step towards us with that arrogant smile on his face. I could read the anger and triumph in his eyes. He had gotten the better of Chuck Bass and Blair Waldorf, but I could guarantee it would not happen for a second time. "My sister doesn't feel safe to live in her own house or be with her parents on their anniversary. She was a different person before she met the two of you."

"Come on Dan, it's not about Jenny." Nathaniel shook his head as he let out a deep sigh. I knew he was friends with Humphrey and this probably bothered him and yet I had warned him no good could come of being friends with a commoner. "It may have started out that way, but this is about you and getting revenge and you went behind my back to get it."

"I know Nate, but come on they deserve what they get." He countered not looking at all sorry for betraying his friend. He first looked at Blair before turning his eyes on me. I held his stare letting him know that I wasn't sorry for the whole situation with Jenny. That girl had dug her own grave and she needed to deal with the consequences. Jenny Humphrey had always had a bit of bitch in her. The only thing Blair and I had done was help bring it to the surface. "I'm not sorry."

"No, I'm the one who is sorry." All heads snapped around to see Rufus Humphrey looking at his son almost as if he was seeing him for the first time. I may not like Rufus because I felt he caused my father's accident, but he was a good man and since I had been a son who always disappointed his father, I could only imagine what the older man must be going through seeing his son's true colors. "I'm sorry you've become one of them."

I watched as Rufus and Lily walked away. My adopted mother shot me a look stating she would be around if I needed to talk. I had never had a mother who cared about me and truthfully I doubt I could do better than Lily. She had always done what she thought to be in my best interest. I would never be able to thank her enough for everything she had done for me since my father passed away. Her own kids may not think her to be mother of the year, but if they had grown up without a mom I think they would appreciate her a little bit more.

After they left I looked at my ex once more. I could see an array of emotion in her eyes. She looked sad, hurt, frustrated, angry, and most of all she seemed to be defeated. I had never seen her look so defeated in her life even when she was having trouble fitting in at NYC. This was a whole different level of defeat. "Blair we had a treaty."

Blair let out a sigh as she hung her head and walked off. I bit the inside of my cheek and shoved my hands in my pockets. I wasn't sure what I should do from this point on and Nathaniel was not a great help since he was standing there quietly obviously lost in his own thoughts. I know I wanted to follow her and confront her though I was not sure exactly why. Maybe I was upset that she had accused me or maybe I wanted to comfort and see if she was alright. This feeling inside of me was something I did not experience very often and I did not know what to do with it. I ended up staying where I was since I didn't want any more trouble to ruin what was left of her birthday. I would have to give her the gift later if I gave it to her at all. I was rethinking that now along with rethinking if this treaty was a good idea or not.

I looked over to where Dan Humphrey was still standing looking as if he wanted to cry or something. Oh I would love to make that boy cry. I scowled at him when he met my look head on with one of his own. I suppose he was trying to look threatening, but in my eyes he was just another target. He would pay for what he had done tonight. He had hurt Blair and maybe even damaged her reputation permanently. Nobody was allowed to screw with Blair Waldorf except me. With all the games I may play with her and all the horrible things I did to her, I had never done something which I knew would permanently affect her life and possibly her future.

My glare intensified the longer I looked at the Brooklyn writer. He was going to go down and I would be there to watch his slow demise. I am sure that Nate would help me bring him down since he had been betrayed as well. Usually Nathaniel liked to be left out of my schemes if he could help it, but occasionally he became a big player. I would never ask Serena since she was still half in love with Dan Humphrey and knowing the 'new' Serena she would try to talk me out of whatever I had planned, not that I would ever actually take advice from Serena Van Der Woodsen. With one last glare at the boy from Brooklyn I turned and left the room. I had some plotting to do as well as some thinking about the situation with Blair. First I would deal with her and then I would set my sights On Daniel Humphrey. I made a silent promise to myself that I would destroy that boy once and for all no matter what I had to do in order to reach my goal.

THE END!

AN: So here is the end of this story. I think I did alright getting Chuck's thoughts out. One thing that bothered me about this episode was the fact neither Blair nor Chuck ever got Dan back for what he had done. In my mind I think Chuck would have been set on destroying him. I may do a one-shot where I write my version of revenge, but I am not sure. I hope that you all liked this story and I will do a follow up one-shot in Chuck's POV with the scene at the end where they 'hate each other' before getting it on lol. I have to write that separately since it will be rated M.

I am also going to be writing a story where it is in Chuck's POV and set after the accident in season five. I am going to rewrite it the way I think it should go because I know it won't happen in the show the way that I want. On top of that I am also working on an original story for Blair and Chuck I have the trailer up on Youtube, but I have not written it yet.

I will be gone a week or so this Monday I have to go to Boston to see if I can be put back on the liver transplant list. I will try to update stories while I am down there, but I do not know if I will have time. Anyways, I do hope that you all liked this because I enjoyed writing it.

Please R&R like always!
