AUDREY
'Shit. Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.'
"Oh my god Audrey, what the hell are you doing?" Cornelia almost shouted,
"Cornelia shut the hell up!" I said with as much authority as I could muster. "You can't tell anyone, Cornelia and Lily I mean it." the two conniving teenagers looked at each other,
"What do we get in return for our silence?" I groaned and turned to Alex,
"You best go, this is probably going to take a while." he nodded and gave me a quick peck on the cheek.
"See you later Audrey."
"Alright what do you want?"
DYLAN
"I can't believe we came to this thing." I said to my Dad who was standing beside me looking incredibly comfortable with his surroundings.
"Dan, hey." I turned to see Rufus, my grandfather coming towards us, behind him was Lily both eagerly smiling at us. "Vanessa couldn't make it?"
"Oh you know how she is about these things." My Dad and Rufus went off leaving me alone with Lily,
"It is so nice to see you Dylan, it has been far too long." It had been a week.
"Yes, well if you'll please excuse me-"
"Lily." I turned to the voice and there before me was Blair Bass and Serena Archibald, "How lovely to see you, thank you so much for coming. An who is this."
"This is Dylan Humphrey." Serena smiled at me, a dazzling smile that completely confounded me,
"Mum we know who this is! We've been going to family brunch together for years!" That was true, but Serena had barely ever said a word to me, and as for Mrs Bass, well I'm pretty sure she hated me, or maybe that was her husband. "Dylan, you look so grown up! B aren't you getting flashbacks to this Brunch when we were seventeen?" She clung to the brunette, who was still examining me.
"Yes of course S." She smiled at her again and resumed a conversation with Lily as I began to slip away a terrifying voice joined the mix,
"Lily, lovely too see you. You look a vision."
"Oh Charles, stop it please" Chuck Bass stood before me and I wanted to fall into a little hole. "I'm sure you remember Dylan Humphrey," His dark orbs flashed to me,
"Yes of course, Dan's son" The name sounded like venom on his tongue. "Dylan please tell me, are you interested in any of the hobbies of your parents are you?" I laughed nervously,
"No sir, I'm not into writing or anything. I'm more into being an actual businessman." His eyes lightened ever so slightly.
"Well then maybe we could discuss some business opportunities for you at me company." I gulped, that sounded amazing but my parents would disown me if I worked for Bass Industries.
"Oh Charles, that is a lovely idea. I'll go grab Daniel and you can all discuss it together." She hurried off,
"Chuck." Blair said in an almost warning tone,
"Yes my dear?" She looked at him suspiciously, and he just smirked. He turned his attention back to me as his wife and her friend walked off. "Dylan, I am serious about the possibility of an internship. Of course you would have to apply, but you seem like the right type of person for Bass industries. You can come to my office to-"
"Stop right there Chuck." My father cut in, standing behind me,
"It's Mr Bass to you Humphrey,"
"Fine then, stop right there Mr Bass. I don't want my son working at your company."
"It would be his choice, Humphrey."
"No, not in this situation."
"You know Humphrey that doesn't sound very 't you all for fairness?"
"Not when it comes to you Chuck Bass."
"Very well then. Lovely seeing you Mr Humphrey thank-you for coming." He shook his hand, and sipped at his scotch before turning to me. "Dylan pleasure talking to you" He shook my hand pressing a hard piece of paper into it, and walked off.
"Dylan, I know you;re-"
"Leave me alone." I stormed off outside, anxious to see what Chuck Bass had given me and majorly pissed off at my Dad.
SCARLETT
I sipped at my champagne, 'God I'm bored' As I sat out on the palace steps I saw a boy walk out, 'He's hot.' He glanced in my direction, 'very hot.' I got up slowly and walked towards him.
DYLAN
I looked at the piece of paper once I was clear of the room. It was a Business card.
Chuck Bass
CEO Bass Industries
Mobile - 2120459857
Office - 2129676453
"Hi." I spun around, and before me stood a brunette beauty with bright blue eyes.
"Hi."
"I'm sorry I didn't mean to startle you."
"Oh you didn't. I'm Dylan Humphrey."
"Scarlett Baizen." She sat Down beside me and we talked. No Gossip Girl, no obnoxious trust fund kids, just us. Talking.
SIMON
I saw Audrey come back into the room flustered. SHe snatched a glass of champagne from the server and sat down deflated in a chair.
"Hi."
" Oh God Simon!"
"That is not what I expected you to say." she laughed,
"And what did you expect,"
"I expected a earth shattering scream and pictured talking to the trail of your dust." She looked down awkwardly, "you've been avoiding me." She nodded guiltily.
"It's just that, I feel weird."
"We can forget it ever happened. We were both drunk, or at least you were" She smacked me "And we were both just feeling a bit..."
"Okay. Let's forget about it, never speak of it again and go back to the way things were."
"Deal." I put out my hand, instead of taking it she pulled me into a hug. I inhaled her scent, wishing for her to be mine.
OCTOBER THIRTEEN
CHUCK
I glanced at my watch, 8.15 'He's late.' I ordered another drink and waited at the bar impatiently for another 10 minutes.
"Sorry Chuck." He ran up breathless beside me, "Had to find this paperwork."
"You're late Baizen, and I'm impatient so you better make this quick or I'll be leaving."
"Fine. I was going through my accounts, and realized I've been losing money, fast. So I went to talk to the accountant and apparently my clients have slowly been leaving, bailing out, but they never gave me any warning, so I wasn't able to over compensate for the-"
"Carter" I growled,
"Right. So anyway, I noticed that all my clients have been stolen by one company, DI. Long story short, this guy sent me a letter, basically saying he's going to take over my company. I need your help Chuck. To find out who this guy is, and to stop him."
"Why should I?"
"Because, I just so happened to get a hold of his computer, and Bass Industries is next."
CHARLIE
"Simon I'm really not sure if I want to do this. I mean the few things I saw about my father yesterday made me want to throw up. I can't look through again."
"Charlie, come on. See look at this." He pointed to the screen. "It's just words. See noting too bad here," I looked away, attempting not to see anything on the blasted computer, "Okay, well that's... admirable."
"What, what is?"
"Oh just something he did at Yale."
"He went to Yale?"
"No, he went to the weekend thing, and well he managed to gain control of the Future Leaders of America group while also humiliating Dan Humphrey."
"Really? Nice."
"He got arrested!"
"For what?"
"Bar fight"
"Doesn't surprise me."
"Oh well thats cute."
"What!"
"Look what he did for your Mum." There before me was a picture of him with a pile of presents,
"That must be when he told her he loved her for the first time."
"How do you know that."
"My parents told us the romantic things." He continued scrolling through me occasionally looking over my shoulder.
"Wow. He really went off the rails when his Dad died. See look at this." He stood on top of the roof of a building, obviously drunk off his ass swinging around a bottle of scotch.
"That's depressing." I looked away again, there was silence for a few minutes so I assumes there was nothing too bad on their.
"Holy shit!"
"What, what?"
"Your Dad was shot." I blinked once, twice
"Shot."
BLAIR
"No. What were you thinking, the buttons are too... garish. They must be Grace Kelly. Not Lady Gaga!" The designer hurried away and I sat down exhausted.
"Mum?"
"Cornelia, darling! What is it dear"
"Did you really go out with a Lord who was also sleeping with his step mother, who was sleeping with Uncle Nate?" I stood there shocked.
"yes dear. And I am not very proud of it."
"And did you really marry King Louis of Monaco, and almost marry Mr Humphrey."
"Yes dear."
"And did you-"
"Just assume yes Cornelia!" I snapped. She shrunk back. "I'm sorry darling."
"Mother, do you think that I'll end up all over Gossip Girl like you and Dad and Uncle Nate and Auntie Serena and that poorly dressed Mr Humphrey."
"I don't know dear."
"Well maybe I won't be because Audrey already is." My head snapped up.
"What?" Her eyes widened and she ran out, "Cornelia what do you mean?" She was gone. I sighed and opened my laptop, typing the cursed words with deep regret.

CHARLIE
"Shot. My Dad was shot?"
"Yep, then he created a new persona, was brought back and with him came a hot little french girl called Eva. Then your Mother broke them up, then your parents were at war, then they got together again, then they broke up again, and after that your Mum married..." He searched for the name "holy shit, she married-"
"King Louis of Monaco, I know."
"Oh right, well then they got engaged. Your dad crashed the engagement party, drunk, then a whole lot of shit happened and then... Oh my god. Charlie I think you should look at this."
"What?" but before I got the chance our phones went off.
Spotted, a familiar blonde walking the streets of Manhattan, could it be true? Has Little J really returned to the Upper East SIde?
