Serena bits her lip as she tries to get some sleep.
Eric is sprawled in the seat, his head resting on her shoulder, fast asleep.
She is a little jealous.

Because seriously? Eric can fall sleep anywhere. She has been awake 12 hours and there are 6 hours left until she lands in NY.

She sighs. She is coming back home.

It has been five weeks since everything begun. Three weeks since Chuck has been found.

She is worried about everybody at home. She needs to be there.

She is afraid. Terrified. She is not used to Chuck being the broken one. He has always been the strong one, the untouchable one, the one that have saves the other NJBC member´s asses, even Blair when they need it. He always clean their messes, specially hers .

(Chuck calling to make sure the photos of her fall showing all her private parts never get publish, Chuck making sure Georgina leaves, Chucks getting a doctor at 3 am
in the morning to make sure Serena does not die from an overdose, Chuck, listening to her with his bored expression about this boy orother, and sighing and making a call and next morning the same idiot who broke her heart that time with a black eye, Chuck ordering grilled cheese,Chuck...)

Natie sounds sad. And worried. Chuck has gone mute. He does not talk, move or eat. He just stares at the door. After the drugs wore off and was awake he asked for his father and Lily answered he was in a business trip. After that we went silent.

Well not totally.

Everyday he asks for his father, and everyday he gets the same response. Gets quiet again and does not say any other word.

And at night. He dreams. And screams. For Bart to come. "Dad,please,come, save me"

Now he is home. His injuries are healing ok but he has checks everyday.

Doctors say it is a normal response, for abuse victims to react like this, but Nate says that when they say that hey look worried as hell.

Blair is losing it. She will go visit him everyday, because how can she not? But the silence and the empty look in his eyes are driving her crazy. But crazy Blair, means "control freak in full denial mode" Blair.

"He is getting better S. Know, when you come back we should go shopping. Marc Jacobs collection is mind blowing…I mean…pink in my opinion is acliché, but OMG, he choose the perfect tone this time and…"

She babbles about fashion and her minions and Yale, and Serena can hear the desperation in her voice. Blair is about to break.

"Look at me, talk to me…come on Chuck…please. At least eat something. Come on Bass"

Lily has ask Bart come back home. Beg. Plead. Threaten for a divorce, to take Charles away. Bart seems to be ignoring her mom. He is in business,
this scandal is having repercussions in business. Sorry darling, tell Charles I will be home as soon as possible.

Three damn weeks and the bastard is at Japan.

So Lily, angry, sends to hell everything Bart Bass has to say about safety and asks her kids back home.

Jack allows it.

The thought of Jack make her blush. She has to admit she has a fabulous time, had great sex with him. She feels a little guilty about enjoying herself
when everything is breaking down at home, but she was far away and Jack was there and things just well...difficult and really? She is Serena, she has never really need a
reason to do something. Also the step-uncle thing was weird at first, but hey she shares a brother with Dan and incest is a word too strong for
people who is not related by blood.

Serena asked him what he thought about this, his brother being an ass and leaving his son in a moment like this and Jack only shrugged. "Bart, has always been a cold fish, princess. He is probably hunting the bastard whodid this."

She really hopes Bart is hunting that guy. She trembles slightly. If not, if he really is in business, what kind of monster is Bart Bass?

She sighs and enjoys the last peace she if going to have in a long time. Gets her earphones and tries to relax.
