Six Easy Pieces
Prologue
--
Summary: Welcome to the Upper East Side. Nothing here is ever what it seems.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gossip Girl or the third season I'm definitely NOT excited for.
AN: Well, this is something I just scribbled down in my spiral notebook. I grew up on the Upper East Side, so I may have some insight into this little world. This story will have six parts. You might think that it's about the six main characters on the show, but it's not. This story is only about the Upper East Siders. Each part will only be from the point of view of one character. Serena will be first. Georgina will be last. So, I hope you enjoy this story! It's a bit personal.

We never said we were invincible.
Yes, the money and the limousines and the nannies may seem like a security blanket. It may be when we're too young to see the missing pieces, but once you get older, it's meaningless.
They are merely a weak attempt to replace what's missing. The parents, the love. The simple hope that things will go right someday. That the world will stop spinning in that impossible way, and you will someday catch up.
We all may seem pristine. But we've learned that being emotionless is key. Society's a bitch. Everyone around here, adults and teenagers alike, will watch you crack under pressure and laugh about it at the end of the day. Most people don't care. They don't really see. They simply do not understand.
Yes, we're rich brats. We'll always come off that way. But there's so much more beneath the ice. There's the drugs. The sex. The alcohol. The purging and binging. There's the need to feel important to the people who actually matter.
And while the money may make us seem high and mighty, that's only what we allow society to see. The rest is under lock and key.
More intimately, if people began to understand us, they would soon realize that we're only searching for acceptance.
We never said we were invincible.
In the end, we're weaker than the rest.
