Hey guys! Really sorry i haven't been updating, I was overseas for these period of time and i just returned and i'm really really sorry but please don't worry, I'm not giving up on this story though! So here's a new chapter i tried to rush out for you guys, i apologise if its crappy or whatever, i'm just really tired right now, its going to be a really short chapter but don't worry a long one will be up soon, i promise!
It has been like a week since that "confrontation" and Nate hasn't been seeing Blair around in school either. He was starting to get a little worried, Blair wasn't those type that would skip school for no particular reason. He regretted using such harsh words on her that day, but it doesn't seem like he could do anything. Kacy was sticking with him all day long, he was starting to get annoyed with her. Things between them were fine before Kacy decided to transfer here to study in the same school as him. Why did she have to do that?
These days not being able to see Blair was seriously literally killing Nate. He was desperate to see Blair and know how she's doing. He called her phone several times but it only went into her voicemail she even went to her house but Darota said she hasn't been home for like a week too. Where possibly could she be?
Nate hesitated for a moment before knocking on the door of Elenor. He really wanted to know Blair was so he figured out her mum might know where she might be. yes, he is so desperate to that extend.
"Oh look who is this, Nate! Come on in!" Elenor opened the door as she greeted Nate a little too cherrily
"Hey auntie, i'm really sorry to impose on you so abruptly" he apologised as he awkwardly took a seat on the sofa. Sure its been really long since he last saw Elenor. He still remembered how she used to look after him together with Blair when his parents were busy at work.
"aww its fine, its been ages since i last saw you! So now what has brought you here?" she asked, her tone seemingly sound like she already had an idea what Nate was here for
"well I was just wondering where Blair has been, I haven't been seeing her in school for sometime now and I'm just a little worried for her"
"oh so that's what you're here for!" Elenor laughed a little before continuing,
"I guess I might just know where Blair is. We own this small villa up on the beach here, Blair really likes to go there whenever she's feeling down or upset or whatever. You might want to look for her over there." she said before handing him over a key which Nate guessed was the key to the villa.
"uh well really, haha thank you then mrs warldorf I guess I shan't impose on you any further then, goodbye!" Nate hastily bid Elenor goodbye before he quickly made his way to the door, eager to find Blair. Nate didn't know exactly what he was feeling towards Blair right now, but he was sure that all he wanted to do right now was to find Blair, and make sure that she's okay. Although he tried his best to run as fast as he could, still, he took some time to reach the villa.
Nate nervously fitted the key into the keyhole as he unlocked the door. He took a quick look and examined his surroundings. The villa was indeed a pretty small one, but its really really cozy and there are mirrors around which made the place looked bigger. He took a few steps into the house when he heard someone sobbing quietly. Blair. It pained his heart to hear her quiet and muffled sobbings, it made Nate feel really guilty, he was the one that made Blair cried. With slow steps, Nate followed the sound of the sobbing upstairs only to be standing in front of Blair freaking Warldorf, hugging her knees and cooping up in one corner of a bedroom, crying.
"B-blair?" Nate silently called out, he didn't wanted to startle her.
Hearing her name, Blair quickly propped her head upwards and stared at Nate. Their eyes connected for a moment, before Blair broke the heavy eye contact and changed into icy glares. "What are you doing here?" Blair asked, her tone cold.
Nate could see how haggard she looked and those dried tear stains on her face. He could almost feel a heartache literally to see Blair in this state. Blair never looked so weak.
"I haven't been seeing you around in school so I got a little uhm worried." he trailed off quietly as he took a few steps forward towards Blair.
"worried?" Blair faked a bitter laugh before going on again,
"I thought i didn't mean anything to you, so why the hell should you be feeling worried about me, a nobody in your life? You should just go back to your girlfriend and leave me alone." she said again, a tear drop rolling off her cheeks. It pained her so much to say that out aloud, that she didn't mean anything to Nate and that she was just a nobody.
So many things were happening lately, Blair just couldn't take it anymore. Nate treating her like thrash was really painful but when she went to look for her mum and wanted to find some comfort in her, Blair found out that her mum has decided to get engaged with some weird guy that she just met for barely 2 months.
"Blair, listen to me i'm really sorr-" Nate tried to speak again only to be cut off by Blair
"No, you listen you have to leave, you shouldn't be here at all Nate. Just... just leave. Leave me alone, please Nate. please." she stood up and faced her back to Nate and cried silently again as she thought about all these things that has happened. Blair didn't wanted Nate to see her weak side and she didn't wanted Nate to knew that she was such a weak person.
Nate strolled up forward to Blair and hugged her from the back. "Just listen to me Blair. I- I'm just really sorry about what i've said that day, I know i shouldn't have made it sound so harsh, but but Kacy was there and i didn't want her to get the wrong idea or like i didn't wanted to hurt her. She couldn't take it you know."
"So you decided to hurt me? And what makes you think that i could take this blow?" Blair turned around suddenly and pushed Nate away, startling Nate at her sudden outburst
"i'm so sick and tired of being treated like a toy by you Nate. What makes you think I'm strong enough to handle everything alone? What exactly am i to you Nate? You tell me. We've been friends since like we're 2 or 3 years old and how did things become this way. How did things become so... so fucking screwed up? Am i honestly just a booty call to you? Someone you look for just because your virgin precious girlfriend still refuses to help you with your fucking needs?!" she spat at him, her emotions all screwed up.
"I-i'm so sorry Blair."
There was a silence except the sound of Blair's crying. Blair was really mad at herself for breaking down in front of Nate, showing him how weak she was. But then it also hurt her so much that Nate decided to hurt her instead of his stupid dumb girlfriend.
"Just leave, Nate. Please just fucking leave me alone will you!" Blair shouted at him, crying even harder now again
It hurts Nate so much to see Blair being like this, he knew Blair should hate him to the core now, its what she should be feeling but seeing her looking so fragile, he couldn't just leave her alone. He wanted to be here for her and help her to get over whatever she was trying to get over with.
"is there something else Blair? Please, just tell me! All i want to do now is be here for you so please stop pushing me away. you need me right now Blair and it would make me a jerk to leave!" he reasoned out with her and hugged her tightly despite her still stuggling and trying to wiggle out of his arms.
Nate continued to hugged her tightly, lightly stroking her hair, silently comforting her.
"m-my mom, i went home one day and found her behaving... behaving intimately with another guy. a-and she told me... she told me she was getting engaged with him." Blair cried harder, tears falling uncontrollably down her cheeks when she finally gave up on trying to struggle out of Nate's arms and just let him hold her tightly. it was really what she needed right now.
Nate knew how much Blair's dad meant to Blair. it was a really heavy blow to her when his father left Blair and her mum for another guy. yes, a freaking guy. that was what that hurts Blair the most and she was still really young at that age. It took a really long time for her to get over it and now her mom getting engaged with another guy is like replacing Blair's father and reopening her wound, that wound that doesn't seem to heal.
"i-i just..." she buried her head into Nate's chest as she continued crying, unable to control how she was feeling. she just wanted someone to share this burden with and pour everything she felt like to someone.
"ssshhhhh. its okay Blair, its okay." Nate comforted her again, hugging her even closer to himself.
Nate knew he couldn't really do anything much at this point of time, except to be here for Blair. No wonder Elenor was greeting him so brightly earlier on, she was getting engaged.
There the two of them, cuddling tightly for what seemed like eternity for the two of them. Even though Blair was having mixed up feelings, she was still sort of glad that Nate didn't leave and even looked for her. It might not seemed like it meant much, but to Blair, it was really alot. Especially what she facing through now was really tough and she badly needed someone. She was just glad that Nate was here. Blair hugged Nate tighter as she sobbed, his presence comforting her so much, he didn't even realised it.
"Nate is all I ever need."
