the school day went by as quick as lightning and she had an outfit to plan , something told her this party was the one to be at.

earlier on when i was comforting blair , the reason for her dismay had came and tried to coerce blair to meet her for a ʼ heart-to-heart ʼ but didn't even try to invite me. how rude !
unfortunately , blair gave in and decided to go and meet her , which was met with a glare from me as i knew she would get hurt. i had always felt like blair's older sister and i only wanted the best for her.
but i knew she couldn't sway blair , so the only thing i could do is watch front the sidelines. “ cor , serena asked me to hang out with her ʼ to talk ʼ so , can you keep nate busy ? ” “ no ! since when does a grown sixteen year old need a babysitter ? ” i asked her , scoffing. “ i know you hate the guy , but please , for me ? ” blair knew she had swayed me , so the only thing i could do is pray.
“ nathaniel ! ( i can't believe i'm doing this ) ” i shouted at him , in the middle of the st. judes hallway. he perked up at the mention of his name , looking for who said it. “ cordelia ? ” “ yes , that's my name. now let's just leave before people see me with you. details to follow. ” i said as i threw his blazer onto his chest and started walking away.

walking onto the streets of manhattan , nathaniel kept on pushing my buttons. “ why am i here ? ” he asked for the seemingly millionth time. “ blair asked me to babysit you , so here i am. ” i gave in while he gave me a skeptical look. “ why do you hate me , cor ? ” he asked and that question seemed to catch me off guard.
“ i don't hate you. ” i muttered as i walked into nolita. “ you make it seem like it. ” he said , standing too close to me for my liking , which made me quickly step back and walk into another section of the store.
“ nate , blair is one of the very few people i love with my entire heart and whatever is happening with serena has to stop , or so help me , archibald , you will be scared to show your face in manhattan. ” i said seriously as i slammed down the perfume bottle in my hand.
he held up his hands in surrender as genuine fear set into his eyes. i wanted to open my mouth , but a vibration from my phone caught my attention. “ you can go see blair now. ” i said , putting my phone back into my pocket. he walked out of the store and it took a weight off of my chest i didn't know i had.

“ miss cordelia , miss blair for you. ” my maid, eloise stated as she opened my door an inch. i heard sniffles as i walked out of my bedroom and i quickly rushed to the source. blair. on the couch. crying.
“ hey , hey , b , what's wrong? ” i asked as I rushed to her. “ i knew it. there was always something between them. nate cheated on me with serena. ” she said through her tears. that bitch.
i rushed her to my bedroom and tucked her into my bed. i stayed by her side all night , i was awake. her mother called to know if she was with me to which i agreed. i know i told nate not to hurt her and her deliberately hurt her. i now have one public enemy and his name was nathaniel fitzwilliam archibald. and he was gonna pay.
─── ⋆⋅☆⋅⋆ ──
as i felt blair wake up , my eyes immediately searched for hers. she looked tired , it was logical. “ morning , c. i'm okay ” she said , answering my question. i knew she was faking , but i was going to stand by her side until the end of time.
“ it's the kiss on the lips party tonight. ” i state as i got out of bed. “ i know , it's my party. ” she stated , as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. and apparently it was. i heard blair's phone ring as she quickly picked it up and started speaking. “ blair, if that's nate, i'm gonna. ” i said as she gave me an apologetic look while walking into my closet and getting dressed quickly.
“ blair. ” i said as she was leaving my room but the only response i got in return was a mouthed “ sorry ”. i rolled my eyes and started getting ready as it was still a saturday. this was gonna be a long day.
