Here it is, my first fanfiction: hope you like it… Sorry the spelling mistakes…I'm not english. But that doesn't mean my story isn't good. Just Enjoy!!!!

It was a beautiful day in NYC for everyone. But not for Serena Van Der Woodsen. She was walking down the stairs when she heard her cell phone: "Mrs. Serena" A man said in the other line."It's me" She said. It was almost midnight, why was this man calling to her? Perhaps she forgot something in a bar. She was not ready for what the man was going to say. It was some really bad news. His voice was very strong. He was not the type of man who jokes about every situation. She become to worry. And then the bomb arrived "I'm afraid to tell you that your mother had accident "Serena's stayed in shock during several moments but then she asked "And where is she?"After a long silence, the man said: "She died"

Serena didn't believe what happened. The tears formed in her eyes. Her mom wasn't perfect but was still her mother. And now she was dead. Bart already had died. What was she going to do? She needed to take care of Eric. "Eric" She remembered. He didn't know yet. She needed to tell him, she had to tell him. After all, she was the only one he had now.

The reaction of Eric was not like Serena hoped. She expected he began crying but he stayed extremely calm. "He still doesn't believe" She thought. But she was worried, worried that he tried to kill himself, again. She had already lost her mother, she didn't want to lose her brother too. And then it was Dan. The news arrived quickly to Upper East Side. Two days later everyone knew about the tragic death of Lilly "Bass" including him. The girls of Constance Billard and the boys of St Jude were constantly sending her messages but she didn't answer. Not because she didn't appreciate her friend's messages but, because now everyone was treating her and Eric like the poor little orphans and she hated that. They were the same people, weren't they?

Serena and Eric, now, were living alone. This was the reason why Serena should be strong. Eric couldn't see her weak side. It was bad for him. A stable family was everything he needed now. But after all Serena was still a teenager, almost adult, but still a teenager and she couldn't manage with everything.

"No!!!! Roses… My mother loved roses. And her funeral has to be perfect. So it's roses "Serena barely had slept in the earlier days. She seemed to be handling with the whole situation but she wasn't. And Dan knew it. "Serena, Dan is here for you" Eric said. She hadn't talk to him, not yet. She knew she had to but with Dan was different. He had the power to put her talking and she definitely didn't want to talk. "Hi" She sadly whispered "Hi! You didn't answer my messages so I pass here. How are you?"Serena looked at him. "I'm fine" Dan stared at her during several moments and said "Really Serena. You don't, you're acting like you are but you don't. I know you. Come with me. We can go to my home and then, talk. And there's Central Park…" Serena looked at Dan. After that whole situation with Miss Carr, she barely had talked to him. But now he was standing right there for her. And she still loved him. "Central Park looks perfect" She finally said.

And my first chapter is done. Serena is going out with Dan. He is there for her. Serena seems to be handling with the whole situation, but she isn't. And it is going to reflect in the next chapter. Don't forget: reviews make my day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
