Honey why you calling me so late

It's almost half past twelve when Nate checks the time and answers his ringing phone, it's been another crazy night and all he wants to do is pass out on Chuck's couch but that wasn't happening until his phone stopped ringing.

"Hello," Nate mumbles pushing the blanket off him.

There's music playing in the background muffled most probably by a door but no-one is answering and Nate is getting irritated, he's also falling of to sleep with the phone attached to his ear. He knows it isn't his girlfriend because she's pissed with him for something and she'd never call this late. He's nodding off until he hears her whisper a 'hi' so soft that he would have missed it if her voice wasn't programmed in his mind.

"Serena it's late," he says softly, he doesn't even know why because he's alone in the suite, Chuck left 10 minutes ago for something Nate didn't even want to know about.

"How'd you know it was me?" she asks and he knows that she's gripping the phone to her ear tightly.

"I always know," he says taking a moment before bringing a hand up to rub the sleepiness from his eyes. "Why are you up so late? Where are you?"

"Georgie's in town and she decided we needed to party," she says, Nate can vaguely hear the noise in the background and the tone of her voice that say 'I didn't want to, she made me' but he thinks he's too drunk for this.

"Do you want to be there?" Nate asks he just needs to be sure she called for him to get her out of there, he knows Serena is all for the parties, she loves getting wasted and high and pretending to be older then she is to get guys to buy her drinks, most of it was inspired by Georgina but ever since she came back she hasn't been going out much, ever since she started dating Dan he knows she's been unusually clean and sober, he knows because sometimes Blair vents and he's in the room listening to everything Serena's been up to. "Does Dan know where you are?" there's a bitterness to his voice when he says Dan's name because he doesn't like how the Brooklyn boy's been making himself important in Serena's life the way he's always wanted to be.

"No and no," she says and her voice breaks and he's really sober now and not at all tired.

"S, where are you?" he asks concerned as he swings his legs of the couch and slips his shoes on. "I'm coming to get you."

"I don't know," she replies controlling her voice. "I don't know Natie."

"Ok, calm down," he says as calm as he can be, letting out a breath and listening to the music in the background, the DJ announces his name and Nate knows where she is, he and Chuck met the DJ a few nights before, who was playing there every night for one week only. "Wait there for me I'll be there now ok, don't leave."

Nate pulls on his jacket and runs out of the suite straight into the cab he called as soon as he got off the phone with Serena. When he finally gets to the club there are people everywhere, girls in skirts so short they are barely there and tops so tight he can't tell how they can breathe but none of the people outside are Serena. Panicking he checks his phone and calls her when he cant find her, it takes him straight to voicemail and he wishes Chuck was around to help him because Chuck is good in these situations not him.

He pulls out his fake ID and thanks God that he's still in his formalwear to get into this club, once he's in he sees a blur of people and curses at the crowd that just bumped into him. It takes him a little while of drinks spilled on him, girls grinding on him and the huge worry that she may have already left or something could have happened before he spots Georgina's dark hair and Serena's blond at a set of chairs close to the bar. He practically sprints to her, doesn't care who he pushes to the ground in his haste.

Georgina's flirting with some really old guy who has his hand up her skirt and there's another guy who's pushing himself onto Serena who clearly doesn't want him to be on her. Nate pulls the guy off her and the drunk man just puts his hands up in surrender and stumbles away to hit on the next girl he sees. Nate breaths a sigh of relief as he pulls her up so she can stand, she barely stands up straight before falling onto him. Nate just holds her for a second before steadying her and wonders what she's had.

"I'm glad you're here," she says wrapping her arms around his neck. He's not supposed to be doing this, he promised he'd stay away from her but he just can't turn her down when she asks for his help, when she needs him.

"Let's get you out of here ok?" he asks but he doesn't wait for her answer before he drags her out of there, she waves to Georgina who is still busy and just nods at Serena to acknowledge her leaving. Nate keeps a tight grip on her as they make their way out of the club, he doesn't care who's watching he just needs them out of this place.

"Where we goin?" she asks swaying slightly as they walk on the sidewalk.

"Who's at home S?" Nate asks because he needs to know where to take her, he can't take her to Chuck's because his best friend will tell Blair who would be even more pissed because he's gotten strict instructions to stay away from the gorgeous blond. He has his arm around her waist protectively, keeping her steady.

"No-one," she replies stopping suddenly to bend down and take her heels off. "Erik's at Grandma's and mom's on holiday."

He's never been happy that Lily has always been the absentee parent, although right now he's thrilled that he doesn't need to sneak her in or explain anything to anyone. Nate nods and steers her in the direction of her apartment, she's twirling and she has this huge grin on her face and she's stumbling and tripping over her own feet and she's just so Serena that he finds himself laughing along with her more then at her for being as drunk as she is.

When they finally reach her apartment, Nate takes her up to her room and there's a moment where he's got her laying down and her arms are around his neck and his are around her waist when he looks into her eyes and she's staring back into his and she doesn't look so drunk anymore. A moment where he brings his hand up to tuck a lock of hair behind her ear and her fingers are touching his cheek and their faces are so close that they're almost touching, where Nate can smell her distinct smell behind all that alcohol and he just needs to kiss her so badly but he doesn't because he remembers as his lips graze hers that he has a girlfriend and he can't do this again.

Serena sighs when he pulls away and turns her face away from him so he can't see the tears that are forming in her eyes, makes herself get control and let go of him. He tells her to stay there while he finds water and something for her to eat. When he gets back up she's laying back with her eye's closed on her bed, Nate sighs and goes into her bathroom to find any painkillers for her to take now so that her hangover won't be so bad the next morning.

"Hey S, get up," he says softly running his thumb across her cheek and making her sit up and have the painkillers and water. He knew he'd have to leave her and be back in Chuck's suite by the time the brunette boy got back and he wasn't getting any calls get so he was pretty sure Chuck wasn't 'home' yet. He doesn't know whether she'd eaten and he thinks she should have something in her stomach.

"No," she protests swatting his hands away, Nate rolls his eye's and shakes his head because it's just like old time's before she went away.

"Yes," he says encouragingly and she opens one eye lazily to peek at him, she frowns slightly before sitting up and swaying. Nate reaches out to grab her before she falls of the bed. "Ok lean back against the wall."

Serena shakes her head quickly before getting up and rushing to the bathroom, he hears her throwing up and winces at the sound. Nate slowly goes into the bathroom with her water and holds her hair while she pukes, she isn't his responsibility and he's been warned by his girlfriend and her boyfriend and even his best friend to stay away from her but that doesn't stop him from saving her when she really needs him, because she's his Serena and he can't help but do what she wants and follow where she leads and love her when he's not supposed to.

It takes a while for her to finally get everything out of her system but Nate is glad she does, at least now she wont feel as bad as she would've if she hadn't. He makes her wash her mouth and drink at least half the bottle of water before getting her under the covers. He presses a kiss to her head when he's sure she's asleep and lets his lips linger for a while before getting up.

He stands at her doorway watching her breathe for a full 10 minutes trying to decide whether to leave her alone and get back to Chuck's before his best friend figures out he's gone or stay with her and find an excuse in the morning. He finally decides to just go back to Chucks before anything happens because he knows that he would not be able to keep his hands of her if he's anywhere close to her and she'll be safe because he'll just ask the doorman to make sure no-one goes to her room.

When he finally gets to Chucks room, he sneaks in very quietly and looks around, it looks like Chuck hasn't gotten back yet so he breathes a sigh of relief and flops back onto the couch.

"Nathaniel," Chuck drawls out as he walks into the suite and Nate jumps to his feet and looks at his best friend with shocked eye's. "Why are you so jumpy?"

"I just woke up, you scared me, where did you come from?" Nate asks trying to sound as indifferent as possible even though his heart is beating so hard he thinks Chuck can hear it. "Weren't you with, what's her name?" Nate says snapping his fingers trying to remember the name of the girl he left Chuck with.

Chuck raises an eyebrow at Nate before throwing his jacket onto the table and walking to his bed. "Cindy, Sandy, Mandy, I can't remember her name has this really amazing hot tub she wanted me to check out," Chuck says with a smirk and Nate shakes his head as he sits back down on the couch.

"Hot tub," Nate echo's shaking his head at Chuck and laying back on the couch and kicking his shoes off. He presses the heels of his palms against his eyebrows. "Seriously? Is that all she had to say?"

"For your information it's actually quite entertaining," Chuck says and Nate can hear the smirk in his voice without looking him. "But she said much, much more to get my attention."

"I don't wanna know," he mumbles pulling the covers over his head, he can hear Chuck chuckling and switching of the light and he's so glad Chuck didn't comment more on Nate's behaviour.

Nate tosses and turns and there's a reason he can't sleep tonight and her name is Serena van der Woodsen which is a huge problem since his girlfriends name is Blair Waldorf and they are best friends and if what he did tonight comes out he is going to be so screwed. He loves both girls but he's in love with the wrong one, the one that's not his girlfriend, the one that didn't want him.

A/N hey guys I hope you enjoyed the first chapter of this long songfic lol each chapter will be based on a line from this song, right now each chapter is set out like a one shot but they are all connected and hopefully if it all comes together like the image I have in my mind this would eventually look like a reasl story lol

So basically what you need to know is that this is set in the first season, after the first episode I guess, Serena left because of her night with Nate not because of Pete and Georgina drags her out because she can not because she has something on her. The words are from Lips of an angel by Hinder which is an amazing song I really love it and it just fits the Nate and Serena season 1 tale so well

I hope you guys enjoyed this one please leave me a review and tell me if you did, after 'Misguided Ghosts' and 'Can't Plan Fun' I realised that I've been focusing alot on kids and family and as much as I love that it's more for the Charmed fics I write coz thats more family orientated then Gossip Girl

I started watching Glee season2 a few weeks ago(we're behind in SA) and I've fallen in love with Chord Overstreet and the Sam and Quinn relationship, I wanna do a fic on that but I'm not sure yet so any Glee readers, should I?

Ok so before this becomes longer then the acual chapter I'm going to cut it off here, this may be updated once in a while and not weekly like I usually try to do due to the massive amount of work I have, so please review and let me know if it's a good idea to continue

Until next time (^^,)
