So I was not very happy about the GG finale and I can't imagine any other Serenate fans out there happy either. I know I haven't posted anything in a while but I think a Serenate story is much needed now. Hopefully everyone will like it :) enjoy!


He was always there for her… Whenever someone stole her favorite sky blue crayon, he'd be the one to get it back. Whenever she was too high or drunk to get home, although he himself was high as well, he managed to get her safely to her apartment or to his. Whenever she'd go missing, after Chuck figured everything out, he'd drop everything just to go and rescue her because he knew he was be the only one she would listen to and he was always the one she would talk to first. Even years later he was still her rock.

"Nate, do you think he really loves me? Do you think we're meant to be?" she asked him.

What was he supposed to say? If he said no she would drop everything and be miserable and if he said yes he'd lose her forever.

"Nate?"

"Yes Serena, you two love each other. You love him and he loves you and that's all you need," he told her. She smiled at him; all she ever needed was his reassurance and that's how she went through with the wedding.

Serena and Dan broke up every two weeks, but Serena was in love and regardless of Blair's negative response to the wedding, Serena went through with the wedding. Although Blair never truly approved of her marriage with lonely boy, she still fixed everything for her best friend's wedding. The engagement lasted only eight months and Blair knew that she did not have enough time to organize a wedding, but she took the challenge. Serena ended up getting married at Blair's house. Serena and Dan had recently made up and had decided to get married within a week.

People started showing up and as Nate sat down on the couch with his godson Henry on his lap. Henry was showing Nate his new Thomas & Friends train, but Nate was too busy looking around. This isn't how it's supposed to be. She didn't want this; this is not what she saw when she dreamed of her wedding. This is not how she described herself getting married. This is wrong.

He saw Blair coming in and realized that everything had been planned last minute when she said that the caterers agreed to bring in the food, even if it was short notice. This is wrong.

He had that feeling that someone was looking at him, so he turned his face to look at the staircase and saw at the beautiful bride-to-be, in a dress that had some touches of gold that reminded him of the gold dress she wore to the cotillion dance way back when they were in high school. She was smiling at him, and he couldn't help but smile back, even though she would be leaving Blair's apartment as someone else's wife. That was the girl of his dreams, wearing a dress that made her look beautiful, but yet again he thought: It's all wrong.

She signaled him to go upstairs and as he made his way up the stairs he couldn't help but think of the ways he could get the wedding cancelled.

"Serena? What's wrong?" he asked her.

"I don't know if I can go through with this…" she confessed.

"Of course you can!" he stood behind her and rubbed her shoulders, but what he really wanted to say was: Run away with me, like old times! Let's take grandfather's jet and go anywhere!

"But Nate… This is all happening too fast! People are going to think I'm pregnant and that's why we're getting married! Natie – I am not pregnant!"

He couldn't help but chuckle, "Since when do you care what people say?"

"Since Dan needs us to be the perfect couple for his new book release; there's so much pressure that I just want to pick everything up and leave. Can we leave?" she turned towards him and begged.

This was his chance to run, to win his girl back! Yes let's go! "No Serena, we can't. You love him and if you run away from him he might never forgive you. After the book is released you can do anything, and you'll have a happily ever after."

Liar! Her happily ever after is with you, fool…

"Natie?"

"Hmm."

"How do you do it?" she asked him.

"Do what?"

"Always reassure me. How are you always here for me despite the million times I've hurt you?"

"Serena, there will always be a special spot in my heart for you and I will always be here for you," he said as he cupped her face and wiped her tears.

She smiled at him and mumbled, "Can you finish zipping up my dress?" he nodded and then she whispered, "Will you walk me down and give me away?" She knew that nothing about this wedding was traditional, but she still wanted Nate to be a part of it in a way she will always remember.

It took him a while to reply, because in his head he wasn't giving away his best friend, he was giving up on the woman of his life. "Of course, S," he faked smiled.

She smiled back and he extended his arm for her to take, "Ready to go?" she nodded and they made their way down.

This is wrong; it was supposed to be me not him. She's supposed to marry me and be the mother of my children. She wanted to get married in St. Peter's Church in an all-white dress with a long white veil and then the reception would be at either at Gotham Hall or the Loeb Boathouse at Central Park. Our wedding would have been perfect; Blair would be the maid of honor and Henry the ring bearer and Chuck, my best man. That wedding would be right, but this one is all wrong. Everything had been planed out when they were eight.

"Thanks Nate, for everything," she looked up at him and for a second he thought he saw her look at him the way she used to when she loved him.

Everyone stood up out of respect for the bride and once they had reached Dan, Nate whispered into Serena's ear, "I will always love you," and then handed Dan her perfectly manicured nails with his politician smile.


That dress really reminded me of Serena's cotillion dress and it's funny because she goes with Dan and then in the last episode she marries him... hmm... didn't think about that right?

Well I hope you liked it!

Review :) and let me know what you think!
