Blair ran outside, it was too late to get a limo so she decided to take a Taxi, which wasn't as easy as she thought it would be. She first put her arm out, waving it back and forth but all the Taxies drove past as if she were nothing but a peasant.
"Hmph." Blair groaned.
Blair continued her journey to find a half decent Taxi and Taxi driver. Once she saw the brightly yellow vehicle drive by she grabbed it by the door handle.
"What the hell lady?!" The Taxi driver yelled.
"I need to get to Brooklyn. Stat! I got a 50 dollar tip for you if you get there in less than 20 minutes." She demanded.
Once Blair got inside the Taxi started to move, definitely driving past the speed limit. Blair could hear her heart pound as she began to think about talking with Dan.
She thought, "I wonder if he's doing well, it has been years since we've talked, it's been years since me and Serena have even shared a conversation."
Blair thought of Dan all the way through the drive. She wondered if him and Serena had finally had a child. Maybe, but than again maybe not. Serena never seemed like the one for children but she is full of surprises.
The Taxi finally came to a halt.
"Lady where's my 50 dollars?" The Taxi man questioned.
"Sorry I don't give money to speedsters."
Blair than instantly got out of the Taxi and walked to where she presumed Dan and Serena were living. As she walked she began to think,
"Dan's a writer and my son is going to become a renowned one so who better to tutor him for his goal in life."
She finally saw the loft she had been to many times over her first failed marriage. She went up to knock but then thought what if he doesn't want to see her or what if he slams the door right in her face. They didn't exactly break up on good terms.
"Just do it." Her mind was telling her.
She needed a minute to process what she was doing. What was she doing? She can't just pry herself back into Dan's life, can she? It just seemed...wrong? No wrong wasn't the word, It seemed profane, in a way. She didn't want to make him unhappy nor get his hopes up. But what was there to get his hopes up, they only dated once and she tries to think of it as a failed relationship.
If only Dan could choose what she says. He always did have a way with words but of course so did she. She missed him but of course she didn't know, she always found a way to push her feelings away.
She began to pace, thinking of what she would say, what could she say or what should she say. There were many questions to ask herself and she was starting to feel like a Siberian.
How could she build up the confidence to knock on that door.
"Just do it." Her head kept telling her.
Do it. Do it. Do it. Nothing bad will happen if you just knock.
She has to do this, she promised Charles that she would help him get those grades up, yes that was why she was doing this, for Charles. Her head was almost spinning, it's not like she's starting a riot, she's just asking for a tutor in an old friend.
Finally she got up the courage to knock. It almost felt like a lightbulb was turning on in her mind and heart was pounding more than ever now.
A man with dark brown curly hair answered the door.
"Humphrey..." she said, the words almost feeling like a magic spell cast upon her.
"Blair, what are you doing here" The old friend known as Humphrey said to her.
She then let herself in. Making herself feel at home and feeling Brooklyn air through her lungs. She knew in that moment that she somewhat missed that place. The place where Dan Humphrey had told her he loved her.
Such nostalgia she felt being back in the place. She suddenly than said,
"Humphrey, I need to ask a favor."
"Blair this isn't really a good time."
"What possible reason could there be?" She asked.
"Divorce papers I need to sign."
Blair felt a wave of shock spring through her as she heard the word divorce. How could he divorce Serena?
"How could you divorce Serena." She said.
"I'm not divorcing her, she's divorcing me." He reacted.
A divorce. The word divorce suddenly entered Blair's life but it wasn't necessarily hers, it was Dan's.
