„Havanna! Just great, Bass. First a road trip with you, then Tijuana and now this." snapped Blair.
"You can always go home, Waldorf. I'll bring you to the airport whenever you want!" Chuck in return.
"You guys, stop fighting. I'm tired." Serena said soft.
"Yeah, just stop it. This place isn't so bad." Nate added.
"Um, Nate, do you see the house right in front of you? That's ours." Eric said and Nate's face fall completely.
There they were. The Non-judging breakfast club plus little brother, beached in Cuba while running away from their crazy parents.
Three weeks earlier, rehearsal dinner for Lily & Bart's wedding.
Lily had just informed Serena that she would send her to authority school, as Blair tried to comfort her and Chuck's cell rang.
"Nathaniel." Chuck said bored.
"Yeah, listen and don't interrupt. I know where Georgina is. She is at the Linkin' Hawk concert, you know, Dan's Dad. I'll go there and meet Vanessa. I'll text you the address. Then can Serena, the bitch and you do whatever you want about it." Nate hung up before Chuck could start to respond. How dare he call Blair a bitch? Chuck clenched his jaw. Until he realized that he was angry of Blair, too. Of course he was. How could he forget that? Chuck thought as he walked over to the girls.
"Serena, already enough cried? I've something interesting for you." he explained.
Blair glared at him. Serena stopped sobbing and nodded.
"Okay, I know where Georgina is. She's at Humphrey's concert. Let's go."
Chuck and the girls left the room. Lily and Bart watched them leave and exchanged looks. In the same moment, Eleanor and Anne came over.
"Lily, Bart, can we talk after the dinner? It's kind of important." Eleanor explained and Anne just nodded.
"Well, we have another twenty minutes until the rehearsal starts. Why not now?" Bart said in a stern tone.
Lily nodded and started walking. Eleanor, Bart and Anne followed her.
THIS can't be good. Eric thought as he saw the adults. Spontaneous parents meetings like this normally ended in a disaster. So he followed them to eavesdrop and do damage control afterwards.
Lily leaded them to a empty room and took place on a chair. Bart hold the door for the other women and closed the door behind him. As soon as he did that, Eric pressed his ear on the keyhole.
"So, what is so important, Eleanor?" Lily asked.
"Well, as you can imagine, it's about the kids. You know already about Serena's little situation, don't you?" Eleanor asked and Lily nodded.
"What situation?" Bart asked curious.
"Let's say Serena had a bad night." Lily said.
"Yeah, which ended high in Blair's bathroom?" Eleanor added.
"Are you here to blame me for this, Eleanor?" Lily said defensive.
"No, of course not. But we need to do something. Dorota found this in Blair's room yesterday." Eleanor hold up a little package of dope.
"And I found a sachet of cocaine from Nathaniel lately." Anne added with tears in her eyes.
"So your kids are out of control. How can I help you with this?" Bart asked.
"OUR KIDS?" Eleanor snapped. "My daughter doesn't know any dealer. This is all Chuck's fault."
Bart wanted to responded but he didn't know what to say. One day Bart wanted to talked to Chuck, he opened the door of the suite just to find him screwing Blair Waldorf on the couch. Bart left the room immediately and Blair and Chuck didn't notice anything. He knew that the Waldorf girl was the girlfriend of Chuck's best friend Nathaniel. So he couldn't denial that his son was obvious not the best person to keep company.
"The question is, what are we going to do about it." Anne said.
"I'll send Serena to authority school. Probably all of them should go. We can tell everyone, that they are in a boarding school in Europe!" Lily suggested.
That's my mother, Eric thought bitterly. Always thinks first what other people could think. He shook his head.
"All four of them to one school? The poor staff there." Lily mentioned.
"No, every kid on another one." Eleanor suggested.
Eric looked through the keyhole and saw all four parents nodding. Before one of them could open the door, he run outside the building and took the Bass limo. He dialed Chuck's number.
"Chuck, listen. Where are you guys? I NEED to talk to you." Eric explained and Chuck told him where they were.
Eric picked the four up. Nate was pissed that he had to cancel another date with Vanessa. Serena was crying because Dan had left with Georgina. And Chuck and Blair just glared at Eric because he was the reason that the two of them were in the Bass limo together. But after his explanation the four of them were just shocked.
"No, Eric, my mother would never send me away. Never." Blair refused to believe what Eric just told them.
"Of course, she would Waldorf." Chuck said coldly.
"What do you know, Bass?" Blair snapped.
"More than enough." Chuck answered.
"Okay, what's the plan?" Nate asked.
"What plan?" Serena asked in return.
"To stop this nonsense." Nate said.
Blair exchanged glares with Chuck but both nodded. Serena, Nate and Eric looked at them confused.
"Well, there's only one thing to do." Chuck said.
"And what's that?" Nate asked even more confused.
"Everyone of us turned eighteen in the next months. They can't put us in such institutions when we're of age." Blair said.
"So we'll run away and hide." Chuck nodded.
"You two are totally crazy." Serena snapped.
"Yeah, absolutely. I don't run away. Especially not with you." he pointed at Chuck and Blair.
"Okay, let's first check how serious they are about this stuff." Serena suggested.
Chuck, Blair and Eric nodded.
When Serena and Eric arrived at the apartment, they slipped in their rooms. They didn't have to check anything. Both of them knew that Lily would do this. She would send Serena away, just like she locked Eric away.
Chuck opened the door to his suite and was surprised to find his father in it.
"Father. Not expected to see you here." Chuck said confused.
Bart looked at Chuck from top to bottom. "We need to talk, sit down." he commanded and Chuck took a seat on the opposite couch.
"Do you have an affair with Blair Waldorf?" his father asked in a stern tone.
Chuck's face felt immediately.
"So, that's a yes. Do you sell her dope?"
"What? No!" Chuck shouted.
"Her mother found some and claimed that you gave it to her." Bart said shortly.
"That's not true. I'd never do something like this. And I'd never make Blair doing drugs." Chuck defended.
Bart eyed Chuck for a while. Then he nodded and rose.
"See you tomorrow morning. Don't be late." Bart said as he left the suite.
Blair stepped out of the elevator and her eyes felt on the new suitcases in the living room. Dorota watched her coming in but tried to escape to the kitchen.
"Dorota, who's are those?" Blair pointed at the suitcases.
"These are new, Miss Blair."
"Yeah, I can see that. But for who are they?"
"Go talk to your mama, Miss Blair."
With that, she turned around and run off. Blair realized that the suitcases weren't the only thing new there. She walked over to the living room table. Shopping bags. Shopping bags with shirts, jeans and new underwear. Blair took some pieces to eye them. They were all in her size.
"Good, you're home. What do you say to your new clothes?" her mother asked as she came down the stairs.
"I don't wear jeans, mom. Why do you get me all this stuff?" she asked curious. She already knew the answer. Eric didn't lie. But she had to play the stupid girl right now.
"You're going on a vacation." her mother commanded.
"Vacation? Where? Daddy's?"
"Um....yes, you're going to France."
When her mother left the room she took her cell and dialed a number.
"Hello, Waldorf." Chuck answered his phone.
"Eric was right."
"I know. Did Eleanor speak to you?"
"Just lies as usual."
"You know what? My dad was in my suite when I got home. He claimed I sold you dope."
"What? Why would he say that and why would he care?"
"Because he has a soft spot for beautiful brunettes and your mother told him."
"Well, can you arrange something until tomorrow to get away for the five of us?"
"Of course. See you tomorrow. Good night, Waldorf."
"Sweet dreams, Bass."
"Oh, they'll be sweet. I'll dream about you, Waldorf."
"Ugh!" Blair hung up.
"Nate, is that you?" Anne asked as she heard the front door.
"Yeah, mom. It's me."
"Where have you been?"
"On a date?"
"With Blair?"
"No, mom. Why?"
"It's okay honey. Good night."
"Good night."
"Oh and Nate?"
"Yeah?"
"I love you, honey, no matter what. You're my only son and I only want the best for you, okay?" Anne asked as her voice broke.
"I love you, too, mom." Nate replied. Okay, so it was official. Eric didn't lie.
He took his phone and wrote a text.
C – Eric was right. What now? – N
It took just a few seconds.
N – Make sure your luggage is in your grasp tomorrow – C.
Great. Just great. First my father fucked up our life and now my mom tried to lock me in an institution. And the only way out of this mess is with my former best friend who screwed my girlfriend, that ex-girlfriend, and my flame since kindergarten who doesn't want me and her little brother. Guess who has a fabulous life?! Nate thought.
