At Chucks Office.
Blair walks in to the office, Chuck is surprised to see her there, he immediately gets up from his chair and walks towards her, she looks down, she can barely make eye contact.
C: Blair...
B: I needed to speak to you. I'll be going back to the house....to get my things....
C: Your things? Why?
B: I think we....need to....take a break....until we can find a way of overcoming our problems, if we can find a way.
C: Your breaking up with me?
B: It's just a break...we need to be apart for a while....i need some space! I'll be staying with a friend from Yale, on the college campus, she said i can stay with her for as long as i need to.
C: You've had some space...you've been away for a few days...isn't that enough?
B: No! Im not discussing this Chuck.....i've made my decision....it's over between us until im ready to make a decision of whether this relationship is what i really want.
C: And if 당신 decide that it isn't, then what?
B: (she looks into his eyes) Then....it'll be over for good. I should go.
Chuck stands in silence as she turns and walks away, shocked that she had just basically broken up with him. He couldn't believe it, he was expecting her to realise her mistake and come back to him eventually but she had just worsened thing 의해 breaking up with him, he was angry because he hadn't done anything wrong, she was the one throwing accusations at him....she accused him of being a cheat! He falls back into his chair and knocks things off his 책상, 데스크 in anger...

Blair has just arrived at Zane's house, he helps her with her luggage and has already set up a bedroom for her, so he helps her to unpack her things and make herself at home.
Zane can tell that Blair is upset as she doesn't talk much during 공식 만찬, 저녁 식사 and the goes straight up to bed. He decides to take some 코코아 for the both of them to her room. She is lying down when he enters the room.
Z: Hey...Blair....i brought us something to drink.
B: (sits up and turns her lamp on) Hey....you didnt have to.
Z: (sits on her 침대 다음 to her and hand her a mug, she takes it with a smile) I thought 당신 might need some cheering up.
B:(smiles) Im fine.
Z: 당신 dont look fine.
B: (after a short silence) I've just had a bit of a rough time lately.
Z: What happened?
B: We finally broke up....it was just a matter of time....and he didnt even try and stop me from walking away.
Z: Hey...(puts his arm around her) 당신 did the right thing....
They spend the 다음 few mintues drinking their 코코아 in silence, he has his arm around her and rubs her arm while they sit.
Z: Hey, 당신 finished? (she nods and he takes the mug from her hand) me too (puts both their mugs on the side drawer)
B: Thanks....for everything....and for being there for me...(she looks at him and smiles)
Z: Hey....im always here for you....and just forget about what's happened....its kinda crap when your unhappy
B: Really..? I dont think i remember what it's like to be happy....it's been such a long time...
Z: Hey....all 당신 have to do is forget about the things that are making 당신 sad....and focus on the good things in your life...you just need to 옮기기 on...do other things...
B: I dont know if i can....i dont know where i stand anymore....he's hurt me so bad...the lying, cheating...he probably never loved me in the first place...
Z: 당신 gave him plenty of chances...you cant change someone who doesnt want to be changed
B: 당신 would think that when someone loves you, 당신 would do anything to make them happy.
Z: Well....maybe he just....didnt 사랑 you.
B: (looks at him, taken aback with tears in her eyes) do 당신 really think that?
Z: Blair, he hurt you....he cheated on you....if he loved 당신 he would never have done those things....some people just dont know how to 사랑 someone.
B: (is near to crying) I just wish i hadn't wasted so much of my time and life trying to make him someone that he isn't...he was never committed to me, he didn't want to think about the future...he hated the though of getting married 또는 having a family....and those are the things that i want.
Z: And he can never give 당신 any of that....you need to 옮기기 on from him.
B: But i tried so hard to make it work.
Z: And he let 당신 down...but your free from him now...you dont need to try any more...you can find someone else...someone who will give 당신 what 당신 want...
B: Who would want to be with me! (tears run down her face)
Z: (puts his hand on her face and wipes away her tears) I would...
She looks him in the eyes, totally 마법에 걸린 사랑 의해 the fact that he cares, he leans 앞으로 and kisses her. She lets him and they continue to 키스 until they have sex.
