Everthing Has Changed

Say something, I'm giving up on you

XO


Chuck Bass, the 16-year-old son of a billionaire, slammed his phone shut in annoyance after scanning the screen.
It was official, his baby sister (of a total five minutes however) had arrived back in New York after her unexplained year and a half of absence and was greeted with an exposé, of sorts, on one of the most visited websites on the Upper East Side.
It's a known fact that anybody who is anyone in the Manhattan zip code will be on the front page of the website at least once in their rise, or their fall, towards reaching their families 'legacy'.

Chuck, however, has had his fair share of Gossip 'Blasts', for reasons unbeknownst to him, but that doesn't mean to say he was happy about his sister being the center of attention.
Especially seeing as he was also unaware of her return.


Charlotte Bass scanned the foyer of the Hotel her father had brought, granted it wasn't the worst she'd ever seen but she was a little confused about why he had brought this one.
Leaving her suitcases with the man at the front desk, she took the room key and made her way to the suite in which her family were now living in.

"Charlotte, dear! It's lovely to see you!" Lily Van Der Woodsen greeted with a smile as she walked through the door, pulling her into a strong embrace.
"It's good to see you too, Lilly" She smiled, returning the gesture. "I don't suppose you know where my father is do you?"
"He's away in Japan for business at the moment I'm afraid, Lottie. He'll be back soon enough though I'm sure" she smiled.

Charlotte was a little disappointed at this however, for it was her father that invited her back home in the first place, purely because he was getting married and it would have looked indecent not to have the, or whats left of, Bass family present.

"I hear that you hadn't told anybody you were returning?" Lilly smirked from the couch, glass of whisky in hand.
Charlotte laughed a little and shook her head.
"Didn't feel like it would have been necessary" Lilly only sighed.
"He's missed you, you know"
"If you're talking about that dear brother of mine Lilly then I'm sure you're mistaken, seeing as I left without so much as a goodbye a year and a half ago and haven't answered any of his calls or texts since, there's actually a large chance in him not wanting to speak to me again"
"You're wrong"
Charlotte shook her head, "No, I'm not"


Alone at the bar downstairs, Charlotte was scrolling down Gossip Girl's latest target; her.
Seems like it hadn't taken long for the Upper East Side's infamous bitch to latch into her and her families lives, especially with her return.
Before she could click any further, her phone lit up with an incoming call.

"You've returned then"
"Seems that I have, brother"
"Is there anything you have scheduled that I should know about? Any disappearances on the cards or am I going to have to worry about my sister for another 365 days?"
"Chuck, that's not fair-"
"Isn't it, Charlotte? Oh I think you'll find that it definitely is. Why are you even here?"
"Dad needed me here, you know, for the wedding"
"Last time I checked you weren't even interested in being part of this family anymore" Chuck spat, before hanging up the phone leaving his sister to sit and stare at the martini in front of her.


Spotted:
BB and Big Brother having a showdown on the phone in the bar of the Empire Hotel, wow, extremely classy Charlotte.
Not everybody wants to hear about how your family disowned you, though we do take pleasure in watching your downfall.
Keep your friends close, everyone; the bitch is back.

You know you love me,

XOXO
