Summary: Big, messy tears fall down her cheeks and her nose drips sickly onto her lip as she completely breaks down; absolutely, positively loses it in the middle of a stark white hospital hallway. Chuck & Blair after the accident all the way until the wedding.
AN: So I had to write something to follow up from the last episode, I just didn't have a choice. This part is more of an intro / starting off point than a chapter, but I have three or four more parts to this story already written so please let me know if you are interested and I'll post more soon…. I just want to warn you in advance, some of the stuff in the upcoming parts are based off of spoilers and speculation that is floating around so be weary if you are spoiler free. Hope you enjoy it! Let me know what you think!

Big, messy tears fall down her cheeks and her nose drips sickly onto her lip as she completely breaks down.
Absolutely, positively loses it in the middle of a stark white hospital hallway.
This can't be happening.
It can't.
Blair gasps between her sobs, choking as she tries to get a breath.
"B..."
She can feel her best friend's hand on her back, but honestly, her presence doesn't matter to her right now. Serena at her side doesn't help anything. It doesn't make her feel any better. Nothing can.
Except him.
"B, come on. Let's get you back to bed."
Blair yanks her arm out of her friend's gentle grasp and continues to stare straight ahead, right into the room in front of her and directly at Chuck, laying lifeless and bloodied on a gurney.
"It should've been me..." she mumbles through her cries. "It was supposed to be me..."
Serena's hand rubs up and down her back. "What was that, B?"
"He has to be okay," Blair continues, deaf to her best friend's words. "He's all I have left... He can't..."
Her entire body shakes with the force of her emotions. She can't even say the word but it's all she can think in her head.
Die.
Chuck could die.
She can't even begin to fathom the thought.
They were finally going to be together. They were supposed to finally get their forever.
He can't leave her now.
All of the sudden the room in front of her erupts into commotion.
Alarms sound, doctors shout nonsense and nurses rush around the room.
The only one who doesn't seem to notice all the fuss is Chuck. He doesn't even flinch.
She completely panics and stomps forward on her bare feet into the room. "What is going on?"
No one answers her or even acknowledges her and it infuriates her to her very core.
Blair reaches out and grabs one of the doctors by the arm, demanding his attention. "Tell me what is going on! What is happening to him?"
The doctor easily shakes off her hold.
She hadn't realized how weak she is.
"You need to get out of here, miss. Let us do our job."
She vehemently shakes her head. "No, you have to..." she trails off, her eyes widening in horror as a nurse rips open Chuck's checkered button down shirt.
A hand wraps softly around her elbow. "B..."
"What are you doing to him?" she screams, her heart beating out of control. "Chuck!"
"Get her out of here!"
"Chuck!"
"Blair, please just-"
Through her hysteria she sees a doctor rubbing together two small paddles and she knows what that means.
But it can't be real.
"Chuck!" she screeches, suddenly feeling ill as the world starts spinning around her. "Chuck..."
Arms wrap around her waist, pulling her back.
"Get off me!" she screams, kicking and fighting with all she has in her. "Chuck!"
More arms and hands touch and grab at her and drag her from the room.
"Chuck!" She's sobbing and choking as he disappears from her view. "No!"
Something sharp pricks into her arm.
"Chuck!" Blair continues to beg and call out for him. "Chuck..."
Her lids feel heavy and her body starts to slump.
"Chuck, please..."
"It'll be okay, B," she hears Serena tearfully assure her as gentle fingers brush back her hair.
Her eyes fall shut.
"Chuck..."
And the world disappears around her.
TBC…?
