So my very first fanfic I've ever made. I hope you guys enjoy it. Tell me what you think, and give me suggestions and tips to make it better or more interesting. Hopefully I'll get better and better each chapter I do.
Oh, sidenote: The story's based on the show, not the books. I just had to put it under the books category because it didn't have an option for gossip girl in the t.v. shows selection. Just thought I'd mention that.
Enjoy!
-B!
I'll Always Be There
A Gossip Girl Fanfiction by: Brianna Daugherty
Chapter 1: The Letdown
Serena van der Woodsen hopped into the car, wondering why the hell she actually did. She felt a large warm hand on top of hers and she looked into his eyes.
"You made the right decision Serena. Nathaniel could never be the man you needed. He's a boy just out of high school. I am a college graduate, who's now a senator. I am a man." Tripp gave her a smile.
Serena smiled back, but something inside her said that something wasn't right. Why'd she leave Nate, after his pleas of wanting her to stay. Did she love Tripp? Or was it just another one of her many
flings. She desperately wanted to believe she genuinely loved Tripp, and that she was just feeling guilty for leaving Nate alone on the sidewalk with his puppy dog eyes.
It had been a long night for Serena, and she pushed these feelings aside and succumbed to her exhaustion. She laid her head down on Tripp's shoulder. It was nice. She felt safe, and when she
raised her head up to give Tripp a kiss, all she saw was Nate. She blinked her eyes rapidly for a few seconds and saw Tripp right there, waiting anxiously for the kiss Serena was about to give him. She
sighed, slightly disappointed, and gave Tripp a passionate kiss. She did this to convince herself that everything she did was right, and that she truly loved Tripp. Maybe guilt was just taking over her
feelings for Tripp. Nate would get over it. "He was just your friend, Serena. Remember that."
She laid back down on Tripp's shoulder and slowly drifted to sleep.
Nate stood there in the bitter cold, wishing Serena would see that Tripp was not good for her at all. That he was good for her. He loved her. He always had. He wasn't satisfied with the few times they
had snuck around and slept with each other. He wanted to be more then friends with benefits. He wanted Serena to be his girlfriend. And now, as he saw the limo pull away, Serena with his cousin-his
best friend-he knew that wouldn't happen now. He stood there in the same spot for a good ten minutes. He was hoping Serena would change her mind and come back, into his arms. But he had to
face the facts and get over it and get over her. There were plenty of fish in the sea. "But there's only one Serena in the sea of fish. And the other fish don't even compare to Serena," Nate thought. He
finally gave up waiting and went to a bar close to where he was. He wanted to feel numb from the pain. He drank shot after shot of vodka, until he knew he could handle no more. He stumbled out of
the bar and to his apartment. "Thank god my apartment's close by" Nate said aloud. He soon had a sudden urge to vomit. He went behind a dumpster and emptied all the contents of his stomach.
"Not only do I have a broken heart, but now I'm fuckin' wasted and I smell like shit. Great."
Nate, taking a lot longer to get to his apartment then usual, naturally, finally made it into his apartment. He took a quick shower, and brushed his teeth twice, before hopping into bed. All he could
think about was how Serena would be in bed with Tripp, in his arms and not his own. If only she would've listened, she'd be here with him and he wouldn't wake up to a massive hangover. Instead he
was alone. He tried to push thoughts of Serena and Tripp out of his head so he could sleep. He didn't really care if he didn't wake up at all the next morning.
