`You're an embarrassment of a son... purple again Charles?'

His father's words rang in his head over and over again. Then he stirred and opened his eyes. He felt a small hand gently placed on his side. He rolled over to see the person whose hand on his side belonged to. Of course it was no other than Blair Waldorf. Looking more beautiful than ever in her golden bridesmaid dress. Wait bridesmaids dress? Oh crap I've walked in and dragged Blair away from her own mothers wedding. Chuck thought to himself. He knew that Eleanor disliked him. She always thought that he `brought out the worst in her' which wasn't a total lie he did but there was more about her that gave him the idea that she wanted him out of the picture... for good. He got up and found a piece of paper then grabbed a pen and scrawled:

I'm sorry for everything.

You deserve much better

Don't come looking for me

-Chuck

Then he laid the piece of paper on the pillow next to her, brushed his hand across her smooth pore less face and was about to head for the door when he felt how cold she was. He tugged the blue undercover from under her legs and was just about to place it over her when he noticed that her gold heels were still on. After their hug they both collapsed onto the bed and he dozed off in the arms of the one girl he loved, he always had and he always would. Nothing would stop that. He unbuckled the two small, fiddly buckles that rested around her ankles and then slipped them off and placed them onto the floor. Then he picked up the undercover and placed it over her, kissed her hair and tip-toed out the door. The last thing he wanted was for her to wake now.

When he was in the hallway he heard people laughing and chatting downstairs. The wedding party was still going on. The chances of him sneaking out unnoticed were very slim. But still he would try it. He tip-toed down the staircase. When he heard Eleanor's voice.

"Oh has Blair finally decided to re-join us?" she barked "I'll go and check" Aaron replied. There was a hint of worry in his voice. He was probably already terrified of his new step-mom.

Aaron stepped out of the dining room and spotted Chuck trying to sneak out. "Um hi" Aaron finally came up with. Chuck turned around to face him "hi" he murmured "I'm urm Aaron. Blair's new stepbrother" Aaron announced "yeah I know. I'm Chuck Serena's step-brother" Chuck replied "hey Aaron. Think you could do me a favour?" Chuck asked "urm yeah sure" Aaron replied. He sounded scared of Chuck too. Chuck took a few steps towards Aaron "look after her for me please. Protect her. She's gonna be really upset when she wakes up again. Be a big brother. And don't let anyone break her heart" Chuck agonised "ok wait why?" Aaron suddenly asked curiously. He could see the pain in Chuck's eyes. He could've swore he saw a tear forming in the corner of Chuck's eye before Chuck blinked it away and answered Aaron's question "because I'm not gonna be around for a while so I can't protect her" then Chuck began to walk away again but stopped when he heard Aarons voice again "wait where are you going?" "I'm not sure. Oh yeah and Aaron tell her that... I love her too. And I'm going away to protect her" Chuck replied as he walked away "ok I will" Aaron replied as he watched Chuck walk off. Chuck knew that he had to leave because he was slowly killing himself and he wouldn't kill Blair too. If he couldn't save himself then he'd definitely save her.
