Serena pretended she didn't notice. She didn't want to notice. But she always noticed.
She always caught their little pecks, admiring gazes, and touchy moments. She couldn't handle it. It hurt to watch. But what she hated most was that she couldn't even hate them. She loved them both, and couldn't imagine life without either of them.
But then why wouldn't it hurt less?
She shook her head, and turned back to the guy in front of her. Her boyfriend, the man she loved... or thought she did.
He was the perfect guy, caring, loving, extremely funny, and just an overall great guy. But the thing was, it wasn't just with her. She had to share him with his best friend. The girl next to him right now.
Vanessa.
They were at a party, a party that Blair's mom had set up. She had invited her boyfriend Dan, but she didn't get why Vanessa tagged along. Why would she want to be at a place she wasn't even invited too.
Why did Dan always bring her everywhere.
And why did Vanessa not leave them alone.
The sad thing was though, it was alwaysshe that felt like the third wheel.
Serena played with the ring on her middle finger, trying to avoid her boyfriend playfully flirting with his best friend... and trying to avoid them.
They were cuddling in a corner. Those piercing eyes always managed to send shivers through her spine, and now she burned inside, knowing that it could've been her in that corner with him. He had come to her, and she had turned him down.
She always felt sad remembering that time, remembering his face, and her words.
I didn't come back for you.
It hadn't been a complete lie, she had been forced back because of her little brother's condition, but she knew, she knew that deep down she had also come for him. She wanted, no needed to see him again.
But she had also partially come back for her best friend.
She was half of her. They were two pieces, incomplete without the other. She felt empty without her best friend. And even though they weren't much of best friends at times, they did love each other. They always had. They understood each other.
Serena smiled sadly.
She didn't know what to feel.
She had really thought she was over him. She was happy with Dan, she really was. He treated her like she was really someone special.
Or he had before Vanessa came back. Now it seemed like he was always with her.
Whenever she called, she could always hear Vanessa in the back. It hurt her, it really did. But she couldn't say anything, because he would always compare Vanessa to Blair. He would always state that she was like a Blair for him.
But even she didn't seem to be with Blair as much as he was with Vanessa.
But she didn't even know what hurt more.
Dan and Vanessa.
or
Them.
A/n I absolutely love gossip girl. Have read all the books, working on the prequel now, never miss an episode. This story is TV based, by the way, and I really hope people enjoyed the starting of this story.
Going through the gg page, I noticed mostly Blair centered, thus, this story was created.
