How about we help each other?

-Gossip Girl

My eyes searched for one specific target, my feet carried me down the lanes of cubicles. My heels clicking within each step.

The spectator was a busy environment, phones ringing and the copying machine printing constantly.

"Lena." A voice called out.

I turned my head, Nate was looking at me perplexed to my presence.

"Nate." I said casually and continued walking leaving him guessing.

There she was, speaking to an employee. I stood in front of her once the little lady left.

"Got a minute?" I asked Diana.

She was surprised to my presence as well but she nodded and led me to her office.

She sat down on her chair, sitting comfortably.

"Have a seat." She offered with benevolence.

"I prefer to stand." I said plainly.

"So what brings you here?" She asked me nonchalant but she was eager.

"You're knowledge. I want to believe you so give me a reason to" I replied.

"Perhaps somewhere else? Where no one else is around?" She asked as her eyes diverted to somewhere else, she intended it for me to see.

I looked over my shoulder and saw Nate staring inside but he quickly averted his eyes.

"Let's take a ride." I suggested

We left the spectator together and hailed a cab where she told me very little of what I needed to know before Nate texted stating that Blair and Chuck were in the hospital.

A car incident landed Chuck and Blair in gurneys with wounds. Nate wasn't discreet about eyeing me as we learned about our friends conditions, they'll be alright.

"Spit it out, Archibald" I huffed at Nate once Serena went to make a phone call.

"Why were you with Diana? How do you know Diana? Why does she know you? Why were you with her?" He questioned

"Calm down, Sherlock. It was an amiable meeting" I stated

"That didn't answer any of my questions." He huffed throwing his hands in the air "I told her to stay away from you!"

"W-what?" I asked and he realized he wasn't supposed to say that. "You better explain, now"

"No because I'm the one asking you the questions right now." He retorted

"Oh, please. You were never one to get answers out of me easily." I said rolling my eyes.

"Things change, Lena. It's been a while since we've talked." He stated

I huffed "Yeah because the last time we talked you were being a jackass and look where we are now!"

"Nowhere. If I remember correctly, you weren't very amiable yourself. So go ahead and blame it all on me like you always do." He reflected

Our eyes stared into each others with fury and anger rising to the top.

"I do not. You just won't say what the problem is, always hiding behind a cover. For what? Are you scared? Is that what it is? You're scared, Archibald?" I said bitterly as my words further provoked him. His eyes displayed how his anger was heightening.
