It wasnt much of a fall, only about 5 feet. What Blair and Nate hadnt seen when they saw Chuck wobble on the edge of a building was that there was another roof not so far down. He did fall which was more of the point."I need a drink," Chuck slurred, even though he was already wasted. "I think it would be best if you stop drinking," Blair said handing him a bagel. "I dont need to stop drinking. Im fine." he said Blair doubted every word. "Your fine? Chuck your not fine because if you were you wouldnt have almost just died!" Blair said she knew she had an attitude but at this point she didnt care how it sounded. "Well, well Waldorf look whos talking." He said raising an eyebrow. "Excuse me?" she asked nervously. "Like i didnt hear you in the bathroom in my hospital room," he said coldy getting up to leave. He didnt know why he was there in the first place. Blair had taken him to her house after he was discharged. He made it out of the hospital with only a few cuts and bruises, luckily, none were visible when he was fully dressed. Blair was so shocked she couldnt speak, she couldnt stop him from leaving. She was a little mad at him now. How dare he mock her? After what just happened. No one should be mocking anyone.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Hey Nate its Blair," he heard her familiar attitude-filled voice. "Blair? Hey." he said a little shaky. It was awkward because Chuck was in the other room passed out. And he had just got done telling Nate about what happened at her house. "Chuck is there isnt he?" Blair said, Nate could actually HEAR her eyes rolling. "No. Why would you think that?" Nate asked. "Nate, I dont care, just as long as hes not dangling off the side of a building. Is he still loaded?" Blair said. "Nope, hes passed out now." Nate said peeking in the door where Chuck was sleeping. He was just laying there on a blanket on the floor, motionless. Then Chuck started mumbling something in his sleep was it dare? Hair? Nate laughed it was Blair. "Whats so funny?" Blair asked. "Looks like someone still has a crush!" He said with another chuckle. "Nate what the hell are you talking about?" Blair asked with a sigh. "Nothing, listen I'll call you back later. I have to go see my mom. Bye Blair." Nate said hanging up after he heard her bye.

Serena stumbled out of a bar. She hadnt been drunk in awhile. It felt like it used to. Nothing had changed. The world still spun a hundred miles an hour, she still puked in recycle bins, and she still made out with investment bankers. "Aaron!" she thought. Oh he was gonna kill her if he found out. So that is why she called... Dan."God, your almost as bad as Chuck!" Dan said picking up Serena. Walking wasnt really her thing right now. She giggled in his arms. He felt good. Like a million bucks. Well more like carrying someone WITH a million bucks.He deposited her in her bed. And sat in the chair next to her. He was surprised she actually had called him. Where was her boyfriend? AARON...
~~~~~~~~~~
Serena wasnt returning her calls, Nate either, so she decided to call one of her other friends, Isabel. She hadnt been spending nearly anytime with Kati, Is, Hazel or Penelope it seemed like it was all CHUCK CHUCK CHUCK. She decided to take a break from him. Is answered on the first ring. "Hey Blair!" she said excitedly. "Hey." Blair said. "I am so glad you called I was just IMing Kati about how we need a girls night out. Tonight 8 o'clock... Butter?" Is asked. "Course, cant wait!" Blair actually was excited about going out with them. She went to her closet and pulled out the Tuscany dress. She stared at it for a long time. She touched every inch of the fabric before deciding that if Chuck was passed out somewhere and didnt want to talk to her at the moment she would still think about him by wearing the dress he bought for her, and maybe the necklace.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dan was so tired. He didnt want to leave Serena wasted and alone but it was almost 10 o'clock at night. He did something he shouldnt have. He climbed in bed... with Serena. He immediatly fell asleep.
~~~~~~~~~~
"Wheres Blair?" a very sober Chuck asked Dorota, Blairs housekeeper. "Ms. Blair is not here. She went out with friend." she said. "Friend? What friend?" Chuck asked with a hint of jealousy in his voice. "I am sorry Mr.Chuck I dont know. She said she would be back late, around leven thirty." Dorota said pronouncing eleven wrong. "Mind if i wait?" He asked. "Uh... no? Would you like a drink?" Dorota asked with a bottle of seltzer water in her hand, and two cups on the tray she was carrying. Chuck held his hand out. She quickly shuffled over and placed a tin silver glass in his hand, and filled the cup up. He reluctanly drank.
~~~~~~~~~~
Dorota was not Chuck biggest fan. She always felt nervous when he was around. Especially when Ms.Blair wasnt home. She had heard Ms.Blair talk to Mr.Cyrus about how she told him she loved him. Dorota was very shocked.

Aaron called Serena 5 times with no answer. So he decided to go to her house. As he stepped out of the elevator his shoes squeeked down the hallway, he rounded towards the stairs then stopped. He looked at the coat rack. He saw a cheap ruffled duffle bag that had an ID card sticking out.
PROPERTY OF DAN HUMPHREY
He tip toed up the stairs then started jogging furiously, when he got to Serenas room he didnt bother knocking. He jus opened the door. And then he saw them. Dan and Serena laying side by side in bed, sleeping. He grabbed a pen from his coat pocket and stole a sticky note from Serena's bureau. he wrote:
Serena you DO still have feelings for Dan no matter how many times you deny it. Good luck with that, dont bother calling. Im done.
-Aaron

Chuck had fallen asleep by the time Blair arrived. He heard the elevator coming up slowly. He woke up and took a sip of water. "Chuck?" Blair said. "What are you doing here I thought you were at Nate's?" she asked walking towards where he sat. He got up. He looked at the dress she wore. He remembered it. He chuckled to himself and grinned slightly. "I was. And where were you?" he asked, eyeing the dress again. Here we go. Thought Blair, her skin felt tingly and warm, she started breathing faster and she could actually FEEL her blood going. "I-I was with Kati, Is, and Penelope. At Butter. Not that i owe YOU an explanation!" she sitting where he sat just a minute ago. "How long have you been here?" she asked. "Not long." he lied. "Nice dress." he said pointing to the black beads that lined the red silky fabric. "Tuscany dress. Remember?" she asked, with a hint of seductiveness to her voice. "I do." he said leaning closer. He kissed her, and boy, she sure did kiss him back.
