Hey everyone. Welcome to my story 'abandonment'. I do not own any of the character in the story yet! It is just a one shot for now but can be more if received the type of response I need to fuel my need to complete it.
Anyhow it will be a beautiful journey nonetheless.
On with the story then!
She wasn't angry, because angry won't do her justice. She was furious and she wanted to scream, wanted to hurt herself and wanted to hurt him because even though he knew his reputation is going downhill, his lips were turned into a smirk and she was feeling hollow inside.
She always knew Jenny Humphrey will be her Achilles hill, what she didn't know was that Chuck will have a hand in it too.
On how Jenny lost her virginity to Chuck shouldn't have ever made its way to gossip girl.
"Who are you?" she asked not bothering to hide the tears.
"Your worst nightmare" his reply was simple. Simple and cold, she felt the hatred coming off and she knew he wasn't the man she loved and lived with.
"Stop these instant Chuck!" she demanded, ordered, repeating the words again and again until she couldn't talk anymore. Her eyes felt heavy, her soul felt heavy, never in her life she wanted to stick her finger in her throat and let the troubles be put aside by whatever the swallowed food will be coming out just as much as she wanted to in that moment..
She looked at him again, these time her eyes begging, her voice pleading "Stop these instant Chuck" she whispered.
She was ashamed of what she remains in front of him but it's the truth of her life.
"No, you took what…" "ENOUGH!" she screamed now.
He was startled. He wasn't expecting this reaction.
She laughed like a maniac now "I get it now!" she nodded as if talking to herself.
"It's about Eva right, fine, I get it. You finally found an angel who knew you, loved you for who you were and I ran her out of town. This is what it is about. Well guess what Chuck Bass, you are wrong." She held her breathe and looked at him, fire in her eyes.
He was so hell bent on uttering those words to her not caring what she felt when she said them out loud, she felt as if she was peeling her own skin, one layer at a time, let him have a piece of his own medicine for once.
"Before anyone saw these hollow vessel as a human being, I knew him, LOVED him, stood by him when his enemies were daggering him. When HE was on self destruction path, I pulled him down as he screamed his name and thought nobody cared, I stood by him. It was I not your perfect Eva or any other floozy who you have so easily shared your fluid with." She was disgusted now, to realize she loved someone like him. Every venom coming out of her mouth was everything she has bottled up inside till now.
He was not showing any emotion, he was poker face, something he has perfected to showcase in front of his father, the big old Bart Bass.
Bart must be so happily rotting in his grave now to see his son had an ability to be ruthless but disappointed still since he is using that ability to try to bring a girl down.
She spat again, those words that were sure to cut him fresh.
"And what the fuck are you going on about war and limits?"
She was just few inches away from him now, he don't remember her moving at all.
She clutched his cheek into her small hand so tightly, he is sure to get bruises.
He loved bruises but not the type that Blair Waldorf gives.
"Had I driven your precious angelic Eva away which led you to trade me for a hotel?"
"Was I filling your head with poisonous thoughts against Eva, when you decided to sleep with Jenny Humphrey?" and suddenly she stopped, her eyes wide as if realization hit her hard.
Of course, these is all because of Eva, she took a shuddering breath and released it, then took it again and released it and kept doing it until her heart stopped hurting.
It will never stop hurting, who is she kidding.
"I am sorry" she was quite now. She was no longer crying and Chuck decided to speak in that moment.
"Blair, you don't.." but before he could say anything again, she raised her hand and stopped him from wasting her precious time. She's got a speech to prepare, a plane to catch, Serena to deal with, Chuck Bass has to for once in his life stop talking.
He saw her eyes, they were red but hollow. Soulless and emotionless but she still stood firm, holding her ground against him.
"I took Eva away from you, I got rid of the one person you actually LOVED" she spit, "I deserved it. All of it" she was shaking her head again as if talking to herself.
Now he was confused, surely she isn't forgetting what they had. Maybe after all she has gone insane. She was always walking on the edge when things got hard, maybe these time she has gone crazy.
She retreated without uttering another word and he couldn't understand what the hell was happening with her.
She turned once again to say the word he don't know now but will forever be tattooed on him, on his soul.
"You will get your precious Eva back but Chuck, I am abandoning you!" she walked away.
He didn't believe her words when he went to her home late at night, it was Serena weeping in her bed, clutching their picture frame to her chest.
"What do you want Chuck?" she was angry and sad, her face red and tears streaming down her face as she looked down on him. As if he was pathetic excuse for a human being. The way she used to look at him before they bonded over Georgina.
"Aah the bodyguard" he mocked with a cruel smile. "I am here to talk to Blair" he looked everywhere expecting to see Blair make a grand entrance out of her bathroom, her bitch face on but what he wasn't expecting was for Serena to shove him, he tumbled out of the door, but still didn't believe Blair's promise to him.
"She is gone, thanks to you" she said and went back to her crying, like his presence held no meaning to her.
He waited few minutes more and when Serena felt him staring at her, she stood up and closed door on his face, it wasn't necessary but he decided to forgive his step sister, for now at least.
He was sure, she will come back within a week, after all she had called it her kingdom, her home.
Even when he was Henry Prince, a philanthropist and she has asked him to come, she has called New York her city, she was possessive like that.
But when week one passed and she didn't make her way into tabloid, he started worrying and started texting her.
Where are U?
Come home this instance.
Are you ok?
I am worried Blair. Whatever issues we have, let's resolve them by talking…
Stop this charade, and testing my patience. I'll drag you back here if I have to.
He was just typing new empty threats with so much pressure, he was sure the phone will break in his hand but who was he kidding abandoning was echoing all around him now.
Stop texting Chuck! She left her phone with me
Serena
He scowled and threw the phone away, threw all the empty or full or half full bottles away. Turned the table, punched the hole in his wall and probably broke few fingers but nothing was more aloud than abandoning to him. He might have won the battles but she was clearly winning the war.
He stood still, watching the destruction that was his penthouse now and heard the elevator ding, hoping to see her face, big, pearly teeth showing smile on display, to show him, the effect she has on him but it was just Nate, who couldn't utter a word at the scene taking place in front of him.
Nate pulled him aside like he was porcelain, maybe he was, maybe he wasn't, Blair wasn't porcelain though, no since she is behind the destruction of his penthouse, how can she be?
ABANDONING – QUIT, WITHDRAW, DESERT, BAIL OUT, CUT LOOSE, he read.
REMAIN, PRESERVE, STAY, CONTINUE, BEGIN, he wished.
3 weeks after her departure, when his only constant companion was Scotch and Nate, when he wasn't busy with college, or Juliet, or Serena or even Dan, he heard the elevator open expecting his best friend/ roommate/ his only contact to human being aside from Bass Industry people to come in however when he heard the heels click clack, his ears perked up and his heart started beating furiously and even in his alcohol induced haze, he felt his lips tugging upward but then they stopped midway.
Standing in front of him was a blonde goddess, her clothes were as simple as ever, so was her face, make up free, she was clutching onto 2 suitcase in her hand, wide grin on her face, unshed tears on the verge of falling down, she dropped everything and ran towards him, throwing herself at him, he caught her so easily, but the heart that was on the edge of jumping out of his chest was giving just a dull thud, his smile has turned upside down, the body felt wrong against him.
"Eva" he whispered and hated how he wanted to not see blonde hair but brunette curls, he wanted to whisper Blair and kiss Blair and have Blair in his arms but wasn't he hell bent on destroying Blair for Eva so what now?
"Oh Chuck" she took his face into her hand and kissed his lips softly, it felt wrong but he let her.
"What are you doing here?" he asked confused and scared to hear her.
"Blair came to find me, persuaded me Chuck, I didn't knew you loved me these much" she kissed his lips again, these time he responded and kissed her back, she isn't Blair his mind screamed.
Abandoning, the whole world was screaming now, so he closed his eyes and tried blocking the noise, when his eyes opened, he saw brown eyes staring at him, concerned, her brunette hair were falling onto her face, but why does she feel wrong, as if it was another person?
"Chuck" she said again and now he saw Eva with a look of concern on her face, it's Eva who came, not Blair.
But Blair made Eva come to him, she left him but gave him a constant reminder of her absence in his heart.
"Let's get you some sleep" she whispered and took his hand and went into his room.
He didn't feel it or realize when his head hit the pillow but as soon as it did, his eyes closed and he went into very needed slumber, unaware of the world, seeing a thin, beautiful silhouette escaping his grasp.
However he can feel a sentence filling the atmosphere, he concentrated then heard her melodious voice, felt the pain, betrayal, resentment, determination and hatred too.
You will get your precious Eva back but Chuck, I am abandoning you!
Good morning UES, I heard it through a grapevine that our dark knight has got his pure angel back, while our Queen B is still MIA.
And if you think, these is just the end of their story, you might want to think again, just because a story feel like an end doesn't mean it can't be a beginning.
