Chapter 7: My friend, My hero, My maybe love

        It wasn't a nice day, at all. They were now in Illinois but they were way behind schedule. The van being stolen, being locked up, Blair's constant complaining were just some of the issues that were slowing them down. Dan pulled out his map and looked at his pointers of where they should be at this time it wasn't looking too promising.
“I can not believe how much time we've wasted! We're going to be on the road for at least an extra three days”
Dan slammed his finger down on map straight onto Kansas. “We should be in Kansas right now”
“Oh great make me feel worse”
Blair moaned.
Suddenly just when things could not get any worse. They did. The van's engine blew. Smoke came rushing out of the bonnet rushing straight in front of the windscreen.
“Oh no no no no. NO!”
Serena yelled and pulled over on a stop in the road a few phút away from a gas station that was in sight. She jumped straight out of the van and pulled up the bonnet to be greeted with even thêm pale smoke. She coughed a few times before being pulled away bởi Dan.
Blair came stumbling out of the van in her four inch heels and sarcastically clapped at Serena and Dan, knowing exactly what this meant.
“I hope it's okay to say I officially hate you”
“What I didn't do this!”
Serena yelled back.
Blair continued to fumble out of the van and reached into her cái ví, ví tiền for her cell phone. She took a few steps into the distance to try get a signal.
“Oh my God! There is no service out here. Serena permission to murder your idiot boyfriend”
Blair threw dagger eyes over at Dan who was bent into the bonnet of the car trying to get it fixed.
“Serena permission to kill your best friend if she says another negative word”
Dan clutched onto the spanner trying not to lose his patience.
        A while later Blair finally gave up on getting service on her phone and decided to amuse herself bởi annoying Dan.
“What's wrong with it?”
Blair looked puzzled at the engine but from three feet away as too not get any oil on her expensive designer clothes.
“Well bạn see it's a thing we call in the trade as broke”
Dan stepped back to Blair but just as he did she took two steps to the side, to avoid the hideous oil smell.
“Wow! Yeah I didn't know that”
Blair giggled sarcastically.
“I'm not a mechanic”
“God!”
She yelled.
“Don't bạn God me! I'm doing my best here”
Dan's patience was broken.
“Ugh!”
She walked away thinking they would be stuck there forever. Yet thêm time to get to California. At this rate they would be lucky if they made it there at all, Dan was never going to fix the van.
Just at that một giây she was going to have to eat her words. Ten giây after she walked away the van's engine got going again. Dan had fixed it.
“Ohh yeah!! Who do bạn love?!”
Dan yelled as Blair rolled her eyes knowing he was only going to sữa this for everything he could.
“We tình yêu Dan!”
Serena jumped into Dan's arms.
“We tình yêu Dan? Really?”
Blair folded her arms all annoyed that Dan had proven her wrong all that she saw was a very smug Humphrey grinning back at her. Great. He would be going on about this for years.
        They drove a while down the same deserted road to the gas station. When they got the gas station Blair offered to go pay, for once, But this wasn't like all the other gas stations they had stopped at. It was weird and seemed all deserted like there was no one ever there but even so Blair still offered. She walked around the corner to the paying station which was out of sight of the gas pumps.
She stepped into the station.
“Hello?” There was no one there, the store shelves were all empty and it looked like it hadn't been open for years. “I'll just leave the money here.”
Before she got a chance to leave, he was there.
“Hello”
A very creepy looking man stepped out from the back room and gazed straight over at Blair, gritting his teeth.
“Hi. We stopped for gas. Money's there”
She pointed to the money she had left.
“You're not from around here are you?”
“No. New York we're on our way to California”
“That's far”
He mumbled and was seemingly moving closer towards the door.
“Yeah. So anyway... Thank you”
“You're pretty”
“What?”
“You're very pretty”
“Uh huh”. It started to get scary, he was moving nearer to the door like he was trying to stop her from leave. “Well better go”
Blair tried to get out of there
“I want bạn to stay”
He slammed the door shut blocking her from leaving.
“We really have to go”
“I đã đưa ý kiến I want bạn to stay”
He grabbed onto her wrist and slammed her against the door. He was not letting her get away.
        Meanwhile it had been a while since Blair had gone to pay, it was weird Blair would not spend thêm than five giây in the place like that if she could.
“Blair's been a while”
Chuck asked and looked around for her.
“Maybe she went shopping?”
Vanessa suggested.
“I'll go find her”
Chuck đã đưa ý kiến and and followed her heel marks in the sand and then he came across his worst nightmare. Blair being hurt.
“Get off of me!”
She was screaming trying to break free as soon as Chuck realised what was happening he broke through the door and he just snapped.
“Son of a bitch! Get off her.” He grabbed onto his shoulder and threw all his energy into his first and at the guy who was trying to hurt his girl. “Blair go!” He shouted at her as she ran out the door before Chuck finished the job he started.
Dan sat in the drivers ghế, chỗ ngồi looking pretty pleased with his work as Serena looked quite the opposite.
“You know what I'm done with this. I'll call my mom she'll get us out of here. I'll call the airport”
“No! Serena bạn wanted to do this, we're seeing it through”
Dan held onto her hand.
“But come on everyone's so tired, and Blair wants to kill me”
Serena pushed Dan away and look so very disappointed with how everything had turned out.
“Listen. I tình yêu bạn and I'm still here and bạn want to do this so lets do it, what makes bạn happy makes me happy”
Dan smiled and took her hand back. Serena started to feel guilty about Nate. Dan was wonderful why had she done this to him? He was perfect. Why had she been so stupid.
“Dan I have to tell bạn something... I...”
Before she got a chance to finish she saw Blair running hysterically towards the van.
“Blair? What is it?”
Serena grabbed onto Blair's shoulders and tried to calm her down.
“That guy in there...he...”
She was breathing so deeply and tears were flooding down her face, but soon after Chuck came running out of the paying station and hurried them all into the van.
“Go! Get in!”
“What's going on?”
Dan looked confused.
“Just go!”
Chuck hurried them all in. Seeing the state Blair was in Dan didn't ask any thêm các câu hỏi he just got the engine going and they hurried out of there.
“Did he do anything to you?”
Chuck went straight to Blair's side.
“No”
“You sure?”
He was so worried about her, she was broken.
“I think I'd know”
She screamed back at him.
“Okay so what are we going to do? Police and...”
Chuck said.
“What?! Nothing”
Blair slapped his arm and yelled back at him.
“Blair that guy nearly...”
He couldn't get the words out. It was killing him enough to even think about it.
“Can we please just shut up!”
“But Blair...”
“I don't want to talk about it Chuck”
Blair screamed those words at him. bởi now everyone had guessed what had happened. They decided to just be silent until they got to the Motel.
        By the time they got there it had been three hours and no one had đã đưa ý kiến a word. Everyone got their bags and even though Serena wanted to talk to Blair she thought she would only get abuse so there was no point.
Chuck grabbed Blair's bag not before she grabbed it from him.
“I can do it”
They got into their room, Blair threw her bag onto the giường and went straight into the bathroom and slammed the door.
“How long are bạn going to keep this up?”
Chuck thought the only way he was going to get through to Blair was to be insensitive.
“I'm sorry...?”
She slammed the door open again.
“Are we going to talk about this?”
“What?”
Blair yelled at him.
“Oh I don't know Prada Spring Collection, what happened today Blair!”
He yelled back at her.
“I don't want too”
“Come on Blair”
“I'm fine Chuck okay!! Just back off”
“Okay fine but if bạn want to talk then...”
He finally calmed down and spoke to her rationally.
“I don't okay!!”
“I'm just saying I'm here for you”
He finally đã đưa ý kiến the words he had wanted to tell her in the van on their way to the motel.
“I didn't ask bạn too be”
“I'm just...”
“Well don't!!”
She pulled the door towards her and standing there was Serena.
“Blair are bạn okay?”
“GOD! Why can anyone just leave me alone?!”
She screamed and ran out the door.
“She's not okay then?”
“No!”
“You think we should go home?”
Serena asked.
“I don't know. Just let her cool down for a while she'll talk when she's ready, we'll talk about it in the morning. bạn going to sleep?”
Chuck đã đưa ý kiến sensibly.
“I don't know maybe I should talk to her”
“No bạn go to bed, I'll talk to her when she comes up”
He was going to give it one thêm go and if that wasn't enough then that was it.
“If she comes up”
Serena đã đưa ý kiến before she left their room.
        It was half one and Blair still hadn't come back up. Chuck thought he should go outside to find her but she would only yell at him, it was better to wait.
Another half an giờ past.
Still no Blair.
Another half an hour.
No Blair.
Chuck finally drifted off to sleep but it was at four thirty two there was someone sitting on the side of the giường tiếp theo to his. He got up and walked straight over to her.
“Chuck...” She looked up at him and the tears restarted all over again. “Thank you” She muttered.
“It's okay”
“No it's not! bạn did that for me and I...”
She stood up and began to walk around the room until Chuck held onto her hand and pulled her into his arms, and she only let him.
“Shhhhh! Okay no one does that to you. Not to Blair Waldorf”
That's how their night ended. She cried in his arms until the night sky turned into the morning dawn.
He could have told her how he felt right there but it just wasn't right, she was vulnerable, insecure, broken. She needed a friend and that's what she got.
        Morning arrived late. Everyone had agreed to let Blair have a lie in, she sure as hell deserved it. He sat bởi her side all night, he held her hand, he kissed her forehead, he placed a blanket over her, he wiped her tears away. bởi morning he had woken, hoặc he'd stayed awake all night ready to greet Blair in the morning.    
“What time is it?”
She yawned.
“Eleven”
He smiled and answered her.
“Eleven?? Oh my God! We were meant to be out of here hours ago. I have to get changed and get my stuff and...”
She sat up and grabbed her things off the bed, before Chuck pulled them away from her.
“Shut up Blair! We don't have to go until twelve and bạn needed a lie in anyway”
“Ohh right, still I better get changed”
“I'll leave bạn to it then”
Chuck stood up and started to leave, before Blair held onto his hand.
“Chuck. Thank bạn for yesterday and last night. I was a chó cái, bitch to you, I'm sorry”
“Blair bạn have nothing to apologize for”
He shook his head and sat back down tiếp theo to her.
“I do though, bạn were so...nice to me and bạn defended me like that when bạn shouldn't have to”
“Blair, anyone does anything like that to bạn that's not okay with me! I'll always defend you”
“Wow”
Blair held her breath for a few giây not knowing what to say.
“What?”
He asked.
“You're being so so lovely and nice and sweet, didn't think that was you”
“For bạn it is”
She smiled and grabbed tighter onto his hand.
“Well thank bạn anyway”
“I'll let bạn get changed”
Chuck finally got up and left the room this time. Blair walked around and found the clothes she had worn the ngày earlier she threw then straight into the bottom of her bag she never wanted to be reminded of that ngày ever again.
But one thing she would never forget about that night was what Chuck âm bass, tiếng bass, bass had done for her. It was certain to her now, he loved her now the ball was in her court. She wasn't sure if she was ready to let Chuck back into her heart. One thing was certain he wasn't that guy anymore. As it says in the Bible,
tình yêu is patient;
tình yêu is kind and envies no one.
tình yêu is never boastful, nor conceited, nor rude; never selfish, not quick to take offence.
There is nothing tình yêu cannot face;
there is no to its faith, its hope, and endurance.
In a word, there are three things that last forever: faith, hope, and love;
but the greatest of them all is love.
Chuck maybe could not give her all of those, he was selfish and boastful and he was jealous, actually Chuck was most of those he did all of the thing tình yêu isn't, but he did tình yêu her and in the end isn't that the moral of the story?
