Chapter 12: I was totally, utterly, completely, 100% wrong
Dan was flat out. So where his brain cells, if he had any left. He was so clever but not anymore, not after what he had shoved down his neck last night. Such a shame and he was all set for NYU. Hopefully he would recover his thoughts after waking up.
Serena had stayed with him all night, well an hour, it was really late or early when Chuck and Blair brought him back to the hotel but he had dozed off instantly. Serena let go of Dan's hand for a few seconds to check the time, it was half three in the morning. Serena hadn't gotten a wink of sleep. It showed. Her eyes were dreary and bloodshot but she still wouldn't go to her own room Dan was her only priority.
Dan's eyes flickered, he thought it was a female Blair maybe? But he then saw the blonde hair.
“Serena? What are you doing here?”
He mumbled.
“I stayed with you. I didn't think you should be alone”
Serena moved her hand back over his once again.
“What?! Am I back in the hotel?”
He spoke a little clearer as he jumped in his bed, shocked and puzzled at how he got back to the hotel.
“Yes. Chuck and Blair brought you back”
Serena grinned hopelessly at his puzzled expression.
“They did?! I thought Chuck would jump at the chance to lose me”
The look on his face got even weirder when Serena mentioned Chuck had saved him.
“They... Well Blair actually took care of you”
“I should go thank her”
He rose to his feet quickly and reached for his jacket.
“Oh I wouldn't if I was you”
Serena pushed him back down.
“Why not?”
“She and Chuck left together earlier. So they are either ripping each other's clothes off or just ripping eachother to shreds”
Serena joked and to her shock Dan actually smiled.
“Oh right...”
He mumbled remembering why he was mad at Serena in the first place and he shouldn't be laughing with her, he should be yelling at her, making her feel guilty not talking normally with her.
“See we actually can talk to each other Dan”
Serena broke the awkward silence.
“Even if it about Chuck and Blair”
He smiled again. He couldn't help it, somehow what Blair had said to him was ringing in his mind.
“Well it's a start right?”
“Serena listen...”
He was going to take Blair's advice and actually talk to Serena, reasonably.
“No Dan I need to say this so please just shut up for once. What happened with Nate was just a big mistake”. She turned around so she couldn't see his face, she would probably only get yelled at again. “I never meant to hurt you and I am so sorry, please just give us another chance because I don't want us to be over”
Dan paused for a second and thought about throwing it back in her face but he didn't want to do that, but he didn't want to be a soft touch either. But it was Serena. He loved her still.
“Neither do I...” Serena opened her eyes in shock and twirled around on her heels. “I love you” Serena didn't even smile, she just had the same puzzled look on her face. “And I guess I overreacted, it was just a kiss right?”
“Yes!! YES! Nothing more, I swear!!”
Serena yelled excitedly. Dan was going to forgive her!
“Good because I don't want to break up with you either”
He smiled at her for the first time in days.
“I swear I will make this up to you”
Serena flung her arms around Dan and thought about kissing him but she had no idea if he had fully forgiven her, luckily enough Dan answered that question for her.
While all the joy was going on upstairs, downstairs in the hotel's all-night bar Nate was feeling extremely sorry for himself. He also had realized the mistake he had made. Why had he gone after Serena? He thought he wanted her, but he didn't. She belonged to Dan and always would. Vanessa was amazing.
They were great together.
She was funny, smart, beautiful and he had ruined all of that. He probably made her feel like such an outsider now, how was she going to continue on this trip? Dan was closer to the Upper East Siders than Vanessa was. Dan actually got on with Blair, Vanessa didn't. She only had Nate and he had thrown that away and for what?
“Nate?”
Vanessa tiptoed quietly behind him and joined him at the bar.
“Vanessa?”
He was shocked to see her there and was in even more shocked that she was speaking to him. She must have calmed down.
“Do you want to break up?”
She asked getting straight to the point.
“No. You know I don't. I just, I don't know where my head was at”
“And where is your head now?”
“I know I want to be with you”
“You don't know what you want Nate. You should think about it, because I don't want to waste my time with you”
Vanessa said nearing breaking into tears.
“You're not”
“You really hurt me”
Nate couldn't look at her as she said it. He turned to face the other way.
“I know”
He mumbled.
“I'm not Serena Nate and I don't know if you want that”
Vanessa left Nate to ponder that thought for a while, he had to make a decision and that was going to take a while. When in fact it shouldn't. There was only one for him and she was right there in front of his eyes.
Meanwhile back upstairs and a few doors away from Dan and Serena Chuck and Blair were oddly quiet. Blair's door was still shut Chuck wondered if Blair even heard him. He had finally said it.
I.
Love.
You.
Those three little words. He finally got the courage to say it and Blair might not even have heard.
“Blair?? Did you hear me?” He yelled aloud nearing waking the whole floor if Blair didn't answer now it would be too late, he was too late. He stepped back from the door for a few seconds actually praying she would open the door and say it back. Now he knew how Blair had felt when she had said the very same words to him, and he hadn't said them back. He had no idea at that moment but after one minute... Two minutes... Three Minutes... He knew exactly how she felt. She wasn't going to come out, she would break his heart just as he had broken hers. “Blair?” He called out in one last desperate attempt to lure her out. It did no good.
After a few hours of waiting.
Nothing.
Chuck knew it was over. He had ruined everything, then just at the moment he was about to drift off the fainted knock was on his door. He might not have heard it if he was asleep but he had heard it and got straight up onto his feet and what felt like the longest thirty seconds of his life made it over to the door hoping it was Blair.
He opened it.
“I did hear you”
Blair spoke quietly under her breath but loud enough for Chuck to hear her.
“You did?”
“Yes”
She nodded.
“I'm so sorry for everything”
Chuck said with the look of such fear on his face, like Blair was going to break his heart.
“I know you are, I forgive you and I'm sorry too”
The look on her face mirrored hers.
They were both as scared as each other. They both had been hurt so much in the past, it was hard for them.
“You've done nothing wrong”
Chuck began to speak but Blair didn't give him a chance to finish.
“... and I just wanted to say... I love you”
She grabbed a hold of his shirt and pulled him close to her and this time
“I love you so much”
Chuck said without any hesitation, without any worry of what she might say. He didn't need to be nervous anymore.
He had faced the hard part. It was all good from here on out.
“Love you too”
Blair giggled holding even tighter around his neck, she never wanted to let him go.
That could possibly have been the best night of the trip or even of their lives. Blair finally got Chuck Bass to say those three words, eight letters. Dan had gotten over his pride and he and Serena could slowly but surely get things back to how things used to be. Nate and Vanessa were still working out their problems but at least they were speaking, so overall a good night all around considering the circumstances.
The next morning, the sun gleamed onto Blair face as she waited outside the hotel for Serena and Chuck as they were the Bass kids they could settle the bill. Just as she was about to pull her sunglasses off Dan grinning from ear to ear walked over to her.
“Dan...”
She grinned, pulling her glasses off.
“Blair...”
He grinned back.
“I heard you had a good night”
“Well there's a conscience I heard you had an even better one”
“What! How could it possible you and Serena patched things up, can it get any better?!”
Blair jumped for joy.
“It can for you. You and Chuck?”
Dan smiled. Even though he didn't really get on with Chuck, he had never seen Blair so happy.
“Yeah... We're gonna try this time”
She tried to keep herself composed but actually being able to say Chuck Bass was her boyfriend was an amazing yet strange sensation.
“So the great Chuck Bass is gonna have a girlfriend”
“When you put it like that, it does sound odd but lovely since I am that girlfriend”
She giggled.
“Well even though I'm not his favourite person I am happy for you Blair, it's nice to see you happy for once”
“Thanks Da...Humphrey”
She grinned but realized who she was talking too. He wasn't her “friend”.
“No worries Bl...Waldorf.”
He thought exactly the same thing. “So after we get back and collage starts you gonna be avoiding me?”
She paused and thought of saying “what? No way!” But she couldn't seem desperate after all NYU was going to be totally new to her, having Dan there as her friend would be great but he just didn't want that.
“Of course I am! A Waldof can't be seen with the loner from Brooklyn”
“Yeah and knowing you is going against everything I believe in anyway”
They folded their arms and turned to face away from each other. After a few minutes of evil glares Blair finally gave in.
“We're gonna be friends aren't we?”
She smiled cutely at him.
“Oh yeah. I'm man enough to admit I was wrong about you”
“I guess I can say the same”
She pondered that thought.
“You guess?”
Dan smirked.
“Okay I was! I was completely, utterly, completely, 100% wrong about the amazing Dan Humphrey”
Dan giggled as Blair spoke those words.
“Glad to hear it”
Dan smiled and got the same type of smile back. It wasn't a sarcastic “I'm better than you” smirk it was a genuine smile. They were interrupted by the rest of the gang leaving the hotel, Chuck was chatting with Serena and also were Nate and Vanessa, they had obviously worked things out but maybe not in the same way as Dan and Serena. At least they were civil.
Chuck walked over to Blair and kissed her softly before Serena pulled out the keys for the Volkswagen for what would be the last time.
“We're about five hours away. Are we still on for LA?”
Serena said as they all turned to Blair.
“Of course we are”
TO BE CONTINUED....
