"S, where are you?"
She giggles. Chuck sounds worried.
Good.
Blair Waldorf goes to look after him, makes goo eyes and he falls back to her clutches.
"S!"
"I don`t know. But I miss you. Is Blair there? Are you his bitch again?"
"Serena, baby...where are you? Wherever you are, I am going to get a plane and go pick you up.."
His voice is silk and the most familiar thing Serena has heard in a two months. She is calling him because she saw a post in Gossip Girl about Chuck Bass being in Paris, opening hotels, and with him the Blair Waldorf.
She is drunk and high and lonely, in some hotel room in LA. A nice hotel, mind you, she is fucking Serena Van der Woodsen.
She wonders if he is going to come and pick her up. He sounds worried. She does not like to make Chuck worried. He gets cranky and boring.
She giggles. Cranky...Chuck, Crunch, chocolate!
" Serena? Are you there? Where are you, sweetie? Everybody is so worried. We have been looking for you. I have been looking for you"
"Really? I am using credit cards...you can follow me"
"Come on S. You learned from me. You are excellent covering your tracks"
"That is true. Big brother" she giggles again.
Chuck sighs. And laughs a little. He is worried as hell and Serena sounds so off, but he knows her and if she feels he is judging her she wil hang up and leave.
"You are older than me S. Now be a good girl and tell me where I am flying. I am going to get you"
"Are you really? Everybody is mad at me. I was Gossip Girl. I... messed up" Serena feels like crying and snifs some cocaine infront of her. "oh this shit is good"
"One of my dealers?"
"Carter`s"
"Ah nice stuff. Now, dearest older sister. Where do I pick you, my darling party princess"
"You should not bother. Everybody hates me"
"That is lie"
"Really?"
"Yes. I don`t hate you" Chuck is getting dressed now. He can listen Serena crying and her breathing is too fast for Chuck to like it.
"You are not going to come..." she says as a fact. "No one ever comes"
"Try me S. Tell me where you are"
Serena is tired of being lonely, high and drunk. She is tired of mindlessly fucking or blowing anyone or anything just to have someone to touch her or to talk to her. She is filfthy and rotten, but she is beautiful and sexy in the outside so she whores herself for a little bit of attention and some oblivion. She is sure that everyone hates her, but Chuck says it is not thruth and she hopes he is not lying.
So she answers.
"I am in LA" she whispers and hangs up.
She hopes Chuck comes.

"Chuck?"
"I am leaving. I will come back"
"Where are you going? Can`t it wait till tomorrow?"
"No. It is Serena"
"Serena?" Blair sits straight.
"Yes S. The girl that has been missing for two months. Your best friend..."
"Former best friend. What she can possibly want? I am sure it can wait till tomorrow"
Chuck stops and stares at Blair, strangely, and looks like he is about to say something, but shakes his head and turns around.
"Chuck, wait..."
But Chuck is already in the elevator. His party princess is waiting.
