hi everyone! I'm so so sorry for taking so long to update this. Basically school's been hectic and I only have three weeks until my exams, so this has been written during the few breaks I have. But I'm taking the weekend off so hopefully I'll have another chapter next week! Enjoy!

Spotted: Sienna Archibald and a mystery guy speaking intently outside her apartment. What on earth happened to Charlie?

XOXO

Gossip Girl

SIENNA

"Stop! I ended this for a reason!" I tried in vain to get out of his grasp.

"Please Sienna, I'm prepared to quit, I don't want us to be apart anymore."

"It's wrong, it was wrong then and it is now!"

"How can it be wrong, when we feel so strongly for one another."

"I don't feel anything for you anymore."

"You're lying." He held my arms searching my face for any hint of a lie.

"I'm not"

"Yes, yes you are. You have to be. What we had, what we had Sienna was amazing, we talked, we laughed, we...we connected." He brushed his hand along my cheek, I looked up at him.

"Yes, and it was wrong. God it was wrong. Please, please leave this alone."

"Sienna."

"No. I mean it, leave me alone Milo."

CHARLIE

I looked over to the apartment entrance, searching for Sienna, and I saw it. He shimmering blonde hair was shaking trying to get out of a tall dark haired man's. First off blood boiled inside me, how dare he hurt my girlfriend, but then an overwhelming feeling of curiosity and jealousy overcame me, who was this guy, and why the hell was she letting him toucher her like that? I walked over and hid behind the pillar,

"Yes, and it was wrong. God it was wrong. Please, please leave this alone."

"Sienna."

"No. I mean it, leave me alone Milo." I balked, Mr Sparks, she was talking like this to MR SPARKS,

"Sienna please," I heard the desperation in his vice, what the hell was going on?

"Milo, no I'm...I'm with someone else." He scoffed,

"That Bass boy? You think you'll be happier with him than with me? Come on. Sienna do you really think he understands art or literature, like I -we do. Come on. I'll quit my job here, then we can publicly see each other. We're in love, it's oaky to admit it." I peeked my head around the edge of the pillar. They were dangerously close.

"Milo...please...don't" her edged his lips closer, it was horrifying, and there was nothing I could do to stop it, I was frozen, from shock, pain or humiliation I was not yet sure, but all I knew was that my legs would not move. And maybe never would again.

"Sienna, let me love you." then he pressed his lips down onto hers. She did nothing to sop him instead she leaned closer into him. I did what I had to, quickly I pulled out my phone and snapped a picture before running off, fighting the tears that threatened to come.

SIENNA

This is so so so stupid. You are with CHARLIE, you care about Charlie... STOP KISSING MILO!

I turned my head away, and that was when I spotted a familiar head of black hair hurriedly retreating to his limo.

"Oh shit. Bye." I ran off, "Charlie wait!" He stopped at the car door, panting heavily.

"What." He muttered darkly,

"Charlie, I-I can explain." He turned to face me and I could see tears forming in his eyes. Deep black eyes that were filled with deep despair and anger.

"Can you. You can explain why you were making out with our English teacher while you're going out with me?"

"Yes." I muttered looking down,

"Well you know what, save it." Then he climbed in the car, slamming the door in my face.

CHARLIE

I looked down at the photo angrily a message to gossip girl all ready to send, but I could't bring myself to do it. I sat there furious tears running down my face my shaking finger resting on the send button but despite my anger I couldn't do that to her, I wouldn't ever hurt her like that, no matter how badly she had hurt me. I closed my phone resting my head against the back of the seat and nursing a bottle of scotch in my hand.

TALULAH

It was too good to be true, not only had she succeeding in beginning to bring down Audrey Bass, now she could take her best friend and brother down at the same time. She sent the message to Gossip Girl the incriminating image going along with it.

NATE

It was like a mexican standoff.

Chuck sat in one corner of the room, facing Jack while I stood on the other facing Carter.

"No way man. I'm sorry, but Jack? I mean come on! He's tried to take this company away like four times."

"Three." Jack piped in, "the time with Russell doesn't count."

"Oh alright then, three."

"Actually I can only recall two. After dearest Barty died and then the whole Elizabeth-Empire debacle of '09." Chuck shot Jack a look, "Oh no actually there was that time in '23 when I attempted to make you sleep with that secretary and then planned to blackmail you with the sex tape. Great resilience by the way, she was hot, and oh-so bendy."

"Jack" Chuck barked, "cut it out. You once said the only people who can try to take away my company is you, so will you help me so that it can live to be stolen another day."

"Sure Chuckles. Look, I know Damien Dulgard." Everyone looked at him, "We met up in Europe a couple of years ago, great kid, great drugs" Chuck glared at him again "right, anyways. I know the people who he's got in his pocket, but I also know those who are trying to get him. There is this a whole division in Belgium, dedicated to this guy. All of them are clean, trust me I've spoken to them, they cannot be bought. Anyway, you threaten to expose him to them, Jack's your uncle!" He exclaimed clapping his hands together.

"Good plan, but let's not forget that we need proof." Jack's face fell.

"Look I'm just the shady, illegal guy, you are the ones who do the actual take downs, except you Carter. No one knows what you do." Carter glared at him while I bit back laughter.

"Alright, then we're back to square one." Chuck sighed sitting down. Jack pulled out his phone, "What are you doing"

"Calling a friend" Chuck raised an eyebrow "Alright I'm calling a guy I know in Moscow, he might be able to help. A little." Chuck looked back down, "And then I'm calling strippers, we need a pick-me-up." Chuck rolled his eyes and walked over to the liquor cabinet, pouring himself a much need glass of scotch.

ALEXANDER

I paced back and forward. This was not good, not only was Audrey starting to fall for me, but I was beginning to fall for her. She's going to kill me. My hone rang, fishing it out of my pocket, I stared at the name with dread, Talulah

"Hello?"

"Alex!" She barked, "please tell me why you and Audrey Bass are all over page six? I thought we said keep this quiet. Silent and deadly remember?"

"Yeah I know, maybe we should you know, stop this."

"Alex you can't. Unless you want me to tell your Daddy exactly how my father got his client list, and the access to his financials."

"Fine."

"So what's our little plan again? Say it for my silence.." I hung my head, hating the every words that came out of my mouth.

"Pretend to love Audrey so she can destroy her relationship with her family over me, and then ruin her reputation."

"That's my boy. Remember, I have nothing to do with this. Or Daddy finds out everything" I clicked the phone off when I heard something crash, I whipped my head around and saw Audrey standing there, crying a broken glass on the floor,

"Your mum let me in. You-you BASTARD!" she came at me, my Dad lunged out of the way.

"Audrey, Audrey wait. It's not like that for me. I mean it. It started out like that but-" She hit me hard across my face,

"Save it. I couldn't give a damn." Then she stormed out. Crap.

CHARLIE

My phone rang again, and once more I ignored it. I finished off my glass pouring myself another, empty.

"Crap." It rang again, angrily I picked it up, "What?"

"Charlie, it'e me. I'm so so sorry, please just can we talk?"

"We've said enough."

"But we haven't talked."

"Oh my bad, I guess you and Mr Sparks' conversation didn't make it clear enough for me. Maybe I should listen to it again."

"Please Charlie, let me explain. I'll come around and we can talk about this."

"Don't bother. I'm done."

"But-"

"I trusted you, and you threw it back in my face. Good-bye Sienna." I hung up the phone as the Gossip Girl blast came through.

Looks like Sienna Archibald takes a leaf out of both her parents books. She sleeps with a teacher, who also happens to be quite a bit older than her. Mummy and Daddy must be so proud.

XOXO

Gossip Girl

She's going to think it was me. I should atleast try to clear me namte.

Why?

Because I want her to know that I'm not out for petty revenge

But you were going to send it

But I didn't

But you wanted to

But I didn't

But you-

Oh shut-up!

I dialed her number,

"You son of a bitch"

"It wasn't me."

"Yeah right." Anger welled up inside me,

"Look you can believe me or not, but the thing is I wouldn't hurt you like that, I couldn't hurt you like that. I actually care about your feelings. So I didn't send her that photo or anything. You can trust me, the sad thing is I obviously can't trust you."

CHUCK

I creeped in, attempting not to wake my sleeping wife. As soon as I had loosened my tie, the light flashed on.

"Hello Bass."

"Blair." I nodded,

"Chuck this is getting ridiculous, what the hell is going on?"

"Blair, I told you I can't talk to you about this."

"Of course you can."

"No I can't. I have to protect you."

"Protect me? From what?"

"Blair please just drop it!"

"NO! Chuck, I'm worried about you, you look like twenty years older than you should. You barely sleep, eat or do anything other than go into that office and talk to Carter Baizen and Jack Bass all day. That cannot be healthy. tell me what's going on."

"Blair I can't I really can't."

BLAIR

"Why." His face faltered, I was breaking through. "Chuck, you won't trade me for anything." He flinched, "Just tell me."

"I can't" He whispered,

"WHY THE HELL NOT!" He looked away, "Chuck, Chuck, look at me, Chuck, look at me, CHUCK! TELL ME FOR GOD'S SAKE! What's so bad that you can't even tell me! Have you killed someone or something."

"No, nothing like that."

"Then tell me!"

"I can't!"

"Why!"

"BECAUSE I DON'T WANT TO LOSE YOU AGAIN!" he shouted, his body crumbling,

"You won't lose me"

"How do you know?"

"Because I know that I'm not going anywhere, ever."

"Blair, I don't think you'll leave or anything, I just don't want you to be a part of this. You don't need to be. This is my problem, all mine."

"You can't keep everything bottled up inside."

"Blair please."

"No you can't. Your becoming like...like"

"Like what?"

"Nothing." I mumbled

"No come on Blair, you wanted to talk, so let's talk."

"Chuck please."

"No Blair, it's so important that we talk about this, so tell me what am I becoming like."

"Chuck, please"

"Come on. Blair Waldorf was never one to shy away from a fight. Just tell me Blair I'm becoming like..."

"YOUR FATHER!" His face went stone cold. "You're turning into Bart. You're blocking everyone and everything out. You don't talk to me, or anyone, all you do is work. All you ever do is work! You shouldn't be named Charles you should be named Bart junior!" I clasped my hands over my mouth, "Oh my god, Chuck I'm sorry I'm so so sorry." I reached out to him, only for him to jump out of the way,

"No Blair you've made your feelings quite clear. I'm going to stay at the Empire."

"For how long?" I asked hoping it was one of those fights when he would come back the next night for some mind blowing make-up sex,

"I don't know. I think it's best I stay there until this work thing is over."

"But Chuck that could be months."

"I know Blair, but I think that if I stay here any longer, we might not make it to our 18th anniversary." His voice broke, and I could see the tears in his eyes aswell.

"Chuck you don't mean that do you?" I asked tears building up in my eyes.

"I don't know Blair, maybe I am becoming too much like Bart. I just need time to do this on my own." I nodded, tears streaming down my face. He kissed me swiftly on the top of my head before walking to the door.

"Chuck wait!" I ran to him, enveloping him in my arms, wrapping my legs around his hips and crashing his lips on mine. "If this is going to happen I want to give you a proper good-bye." He nodded sadness, pain and desire in his eyes. Neither of us knew what would happen next, but for that moment we were once more the stupid 17 year olds trying desperately to stop the other from drowning.

SIMON

The clock chimed signaling midnight. I yawned shut off the TV and began walking upstairs. I had seen the photo of Sienna and that guy but was yet to talk to Charlie,

Probably too drunk. I continued walking when I heard a knock at the door. Sighing and cursing whoever was keeping me from my sleep I walked to the door and opened it cautiously. I froze. There before, face tear streaked, stood on Audrey Bass.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure." She smiled and stepped in brushing up against me.

"So what's up."

"Alex is a dick."

"Oh. You wanna talk about it?" She looked up at my her eyes blazing with something.

"No, there is no way I want to talk about it."

"Then what can I do for-" Before I could finish her lips had claimed mine, she backed me up against the wall, and began clawing at my shirt, "Yep I can definitely do this for you." I mumbled before slamming the door behind us.

Despite the seemingly rock-solid relationships of the Upper East Side, occasionally we do run into some trouble. Whether it's a king our Queen fighting over who loves who more, or a new couple crumbling under the stress of an ex, one thing can always be relied on...That I'll be here to tell the whole of Manhattan your troubles, or triumphs,

XOXO

Gossip Girl
