A/N: Ok so I know it’s been forever seen since I updated. I suck. But I have a ton of summer homework for my AP class. And since I just moved and I’m about to go to a brand new school I’ve been way too scared to think about Schreiben anything.
And again thank Du soooo much to anyone Lesen this! And please review! It really helps my self-esteem, especially since I’m kind of unsure about how good this chapter is.

    There was complete silence in the aftermath of the Zurück events. Blair hadn’t moved from her position on the couch, her eyes staring emptily out on the room. Chuck was sitting on the counter drinking as much as he could get his hands on. Serena was sitting on Chuck’s bett staring at the closed bathroom door. While the kids from the future sat whispering amongst themselves about what they should do next. Nobody had sagte a word aloud since the fight.

    “What kind of a father does that to his family!” Nate was suddenly standing up and shouting over to himself. “Why the hell am I going to be left to deal with all of this! Left with my messed up family!”

    “Please, Nate. At least your father’s alive. In case Du didn’t hear correctly, my father dies.” Chuck stood up to face Nate who had whipped around to face his friend. Everybody’s eyes were on them.

    “But at least Du have Blair there to heal your wounds. Never mind the fact that she’s my girlfriend!” the sarcasm in his voice evident as he yelled at Chuck.

    “You have Serena, Nate! And don’t Du dare act like the perfect boyfriend oder that you’re not happy about that because everybody knows that Du don’t treat Blair right. You’re too busy doting after Serena! Du cheat on her, Nate!” Chuck’s voice was now level with Nate’s.

    “Yeah and you’re just perfect, the great Chuck bass doesn’t make mistakes! Come on, Chuck, how many times are Du going to break her heart, huh! You’re not-“

    “Stop it,” they both immediately turned towards Blair who had lifted her head to meet Chuck’s gaze. Nate snorted then turned running to the bathroom where he locked the door. Serena had stood up attempting to follow him, but when she couldn’t open the door she turned back to the rest of the group. Chuck and Blair hadn’t moved an inch but were now locked in a deep glance, seemingly communicating without even talking.

    “You shouldn’t have yelled at him like that, he’s going through a hard time,” Serena sagte firmly.

    Chuck quickly broke the eye contact to face Serena with a confused look on his face. “All that alcohol last night must’ve affected your thinking, because I’m pretty sure we are all going through a tough time. At least Nathaniel knows that he’s not going to loose a family member anytime soon.”

    “Yeah, but did Du really have to mention him cheating! Especially when you’re-“

    “Oh will Du just shut up, Serena,” Blair suddenly shouted as she stood up from the couch. “You think that everybody else can change, but not Chuck. But Du know what, Du don’t know anything about him so don’t even finish that thought.” Without another word oder a glance at anyone she sat back down. Serena stood with her mouth hanging open, not knowing what to say she walked over to Chuck’s bett and sat down so she was right Weiter to the bathroom door. Chuck stood staring at Blair for a few Minuten before he shook his head and headed for the drinks.

**********

    “Mind if we Mitmachen you?” The older Serena asked quietly as her and Nate sat on either side of her. All three of them staring at the door.

    “Why do I come back from boarding school?” Serena asked quietly. The thought had suddenly popped into her head and she wanted to know.

    The other two both tensed up as Serena answered slowly, “Eric.” At the others confused face she continued. “He tries to kill himself. Du come back to be with him.”

    Serena buried her face in her hands as she began to sob. The older two began trying to comfort her, hugging her, rubbing her back. “It’s not all bad though. Du do datum a really sweet guy who’s now your step-brother,” she stopped to laugh at the disgusted face the younger Serena made. “And contrary to what Du might have believed earlier, having Chuck as your brother is quite fun, minus the perverted Kommentare every once and awhile.”

    This got the younger Serena to lift her head and let out a soft chuckle as she looked between the two. As she let out a yawn she suddenly remembered that they all had school tomorrow. “I really should go home. We still have to go to school tomorrow. And umm…. are you… staying?” she asked quietly, still slightly sniffling.

    “We’re actually going to leaving for a tiny bit. I think Blair would die if we made her put off anymore planning. But we’ll be back soon to check on Du all.” She smiled as the younger Serena nodded and hugged her before moving out the door.

    Serena sighed. “One down.”

    “One to go,” Nate finished as he moved to bang on the door.

    “Nate,” he sagte calmly. “Listen Du need to open the door.”

    Suddenly the door flung open to reveal Nate standing there. “I heard everything Du sagte to Serena. And… thanks,” he sagte quietly as he walked quickly out the door. Both Nate and Serena turned to each other with equally confused looks, not really knowing what just happened.

***********

    The older Chuck placed himself down Weiter to the younger Blair who was now looking down at her hands. “I’m really sorry,” he sagte staring directly at her.

    She turned her head to look at him, surprised. “For what?”

    “For all of this. I know how much your future meant to Du and how I wasn’t supposed to be a part of it. I don’t enjoy seeing Du hurt so I’m coming to apologize,” he stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

    “Really?” she asked, still surprised that Chuck bass would ever be this caring.

    “Well don’t act so surprised. I’d also like to throw in a sorry for everything that I end up doing to you. I hurt Du a lot and every single time haunts me. So since my younger counterpart won’t be able to say it at first, he’s sorry too,” he turned and gave Blair a genuine smile.

    Blair chuckled a little bit before she answered, “I never would’ve guessed. Chuck bass is a romantic. Chuck bass actually loves somebody.”

    He laughed before answering, “Not just anybody. You. Oh and Blair, after my dad dies, stay away from any guys named Jack, ok?”

    Blair looked at him confused as she responded. “Who’s Jack?”

    “Somebody completely unimportant. Just stay away from him, oh and Carter Baizen too while you’re at it. And also, don’t give me too hard of a time, I may hurt you, but don’t think that Du don’t do the same sometimes.” At her confused nod he couldn’t help but smirk.

    Right then they saw Serena run out the door, a Minute later followed Von Nate. “Oh, I guess I should be leaving. I do still have to go to school.” Blair looked awkwardly over at the grown up Chuck, not knowing what to do to say goodbye. She just settled for an awkward smile as she stood up and hurried out the door.

*******

    “Well I know that Du have a high tolerance, but don’t Du think you’ve had enough to drink already?” Blair joked as she sat down Weiter to Chuck at the bar.

    “Why are Du always so happy?” He blurted out. “There is nothing about this to be happy about. My dad’s dead, my best friend hates me, and I’m running a billion dollar company.”

    “Well first off Nate doesn’t hate you. Du two patch things up, and it gets a lot better over time. And Du are an amazing CEO, your dad completely believed in Du and you’ve actually improved bass Industries Mehr then he ever had. Also, how can I not be happy, I am engaged.”

    “Do I really make Du that happy?” Chuck said.

    “Duh, I wouldn’t have gone through all the stuff that we went through if Du didn’t. Oh and if Du don’t mind, stay away from a girl named Vanessa, please. And Elle, and Amelia, ok?” She waited for Chuck to nod his head before she finished. “So it appears that all of your Friends have already left, Du have school tomorrow, and we are leaving for now. Bye Chuck,” she sagte as she quickly pecked his cheek before turning to Mitmachen the other four that were walking out of the room. He slowly walked over to the bett and lied down, thinking through everything that he’d been told, trying to piece together the puzzle. School tomorrow is not going to be fun, was his final thought as he drifted off to sleep.
