Chapter 11

(Will's POV)

I had packed the last of my things. Matt has finished his first term of university; he will be flying with us to America. I miss Edie. I soon learned from Jamie that Edie has left England, she decided to quit Brentwood and rejoin Constance's for the spring semester. We are moving in a few days before Christmas, and we are having dinner with the Russo's a usual tradition, but this year, it will be awkward well Edie & I are no longer friends, lets alone best friends. Maybe I could try to apologise but what I said I meant it all. I was right. Well I made her see the way, she is now back home with her family, right were she belongs. The only other place she belongs is in my arms. If she ever will. Why can't she see it? We are meant to be. I know it is naïve to think like that, but it is true. She is my soulmate, as I am hers. I believe in all this past carnations, and in my past I know Edie & I were together. I can feel it. Edie I miss you. Forever will I wait.

(Matt's POV)

Will finally told her he loved her, like I imagined she did not replicate the feeling, instead she cut her ties with him, well technically he offended her. Well what he said was true. She needed to hear the truth; ok maybe he didn't take the best approach in doing so, but that's Will. He has building that anger inside him for so long, it was right it came out on her. I just want her to love him back. Everyone can see how much Will loves her. How much he gives up for her. Yet she gives up everything for everyone else but him. Never once has she given up anything for him. Letting him down she is good at. I swear everytime she ditched him for that pathetic ex boyfriend of hers I wanted to hit her so much. Slap her back to reality. She is so blind to what Will does for her. He does too much. Always like him, I need to help find him someone else. I am starting to think Edie does not deserve him. Just wish Will thinks like that too.

Now we are moving to America, ok in my case, I will be living there in the holidays, he is with her again. Maybe I can find him some America girl for him to fall in love with. Will believes that he and Edie are soulmates. Soulmates…right. I don't believe in that kind of stuff. When two people meet and just so happen to fall in love that is how it happens.

(Blake Redknapp's POV)

At last, we have arrived. I stepped out of JFK smelling the New York cold air. This place was breath taking. I missed my dear sister so much. Ok well she wasn't my sister but she is like a sister too me. We had brought a house right next door to them. Being an only child, I practically grew up in the Chan's household. Peyton & I were glued to each other by the hip from when we were five. Back then everyone called her star that was her Chinese name till she chose the name Peyton. We were like twins. We met our boyfriends and later husbands together. So many years ago, at a party, hosted by a girl called Elana. We were both 18 and attending Elana's 18th birthday party.

(Elana's 18th – all those years ago)

(Blake Roberts' POV)

Peyton was looking so pretty. With her jet black hair and perfect tan. Me and my pale blonde hair and pale skin, I looked so washed out next to her. She has always been the pretty one.

"P you look so pretty."

"Shut up Blake, you are the pretty one."

"Ok let's go. So glad that it summer. Why are we going to this stupid party?"

"Because if we didn't Elana would be on at us."

"I really don't like that girl."

"Well good thing after this party we can kiss her sorry face goodbye!"

"Reading University here we come!"

Peyton and I both got offers at University of Reading. She would be studying English and I will be studying psychology. We seriously do go everywhere together. We even joked about having children and hope that one day at least two of our kids hooked up. We have had our fair share of boyfriends; our longest was just under a year. Nothing that screamed out he is the one. I sick of all these pathetic school boys I want a college hunk.

Peyton & I strolled into the party, it was packed. We had made sure that we were fashionably late. Elana came running up to us, in her ridiculous shoes.

"Peyton! Blake! You are finally here!"

"Happy Birthday El, some party hey!"

"I know….I got my brother to bring some of his hot uni friends! They are totally dishy, especially this guy called Xavier! Now girls' hands off him, he is mine."

I watched Peyton roll her eyes at her. I knew she wouldn't take a guy that has been claimed. I on the other hand, well he technically is not her boyfriend so he is technically still on the market. I dragged P away.

"Let's go and find the college boys."

"Blake, did you not just hear her? This Xavier guy is Elana's!"

"You talking about me?"

We both turned around to be met by a tall Italian hottie. He was gorgeous. Behind him stood his friend, wow he was even hotter! I looked at Peyton she started to go red.

"No….we…..was talking about the word Saviour."

Oh yeah good cover up, well played. Always know a way to embarrass me. He raised an eyebrow and smiled at Peyton.

"Oh right, cos you said, this Xavier guy, and I am pretty sure that I am the only guy here called Xavier."

"Err…no…."

Damn P, he was flirting with her and all she can do is stutter back at him.

"By the way. Elana does not own me; I am a free man…open to anyone till someone captures my heart."

He was really into Peyton; well to speed things along for her I turned to Peyton.

"Hey…I am just going to the bathroom…Hey Xavier be a doll and look after her for me."

"Sure."

She turned to look at me, begging me with her eyes not to leave her. I just threw her a wicked smile and walked away.

(Peyton Chan's POV)

Curse you Blake Roberts! I can't believe she left me with this complete strange. A hot strange, but that is not the point; this is the type of social situations I do not do well in. Blake has always been the better one at pulling guys, I just no I am no good. She had to go and bloody leave me with him, plus it didn't help that he knew we were talking about him.

"So, what's your name?"

"P…P…Peyton."

God I can't even speak probably! I need to get out of this quickly. He had moved closer too me…oh god.

"Peyton…I like it...it's different."

I pulled a weak smile…I was getting nervous; it was actually making me feel sick.

"Let me get you a drink…Peyton."

"Oh….No it's ok…."

"You don't drink?"

"Oh no it is not that…I am just fine…right now…"

"Let's go for a walk then."

"You know what…..I need to go find my friend…."

I turn to quickly walk away from him. He grabbed my arm and swung me back round to face him. His face was so close to mine. God he was gorgeous. I saw from the corner of my eyes a figure approaching.

"Peyton! Is everything ok?"

Curse it. It was Elana she looked pretty pissed. When I mean that I mean angry at me. Xavier was still holding my arm.

"I…am fine….I was just going to go and find…Blake."

"Oh good. Xavier sweetie mind getting me a drink?"

He was ignoring her, his eyes fixed on me. I had to turn away. God this guy was affecting me already. I swung my arm free and walked away from him, Elana was following me.

"Peyton what the hell was that! Did I not tell you that Xavier was mine!"

"E I didn't know he was Xavier and when I knew…I was walking away!"

"Well you stay away from him. You hear me. Oh and just to let you know. I will be coming to Reading University."

"Elana I wasn't going to take him from you!"

"Yeah, right. You can't be trusted."

"Ok I don't have time for this! E he is technically not yours because you are not actually dating and don't worry I won't take him away from you. I am not like that."

And with that last remark I left her. Seeking out Blake…where the bloody hell was she?

(Xavier Russo's POV)

When I heard my name, I walked closer to the two girls. What is with all these silly school girls? That stupid Elana was all over me. Why couldn't she bother Landon? When I spoke to the two girls the dark hair one turned around blushing. She was gorgeous. I always had a thing for Asians. I liked how I was making her nervous. Things got even better when her friend got the jist and left us to be alone together. But then that stupid Elana had to come and interrupt. What was her problem? It was not like she owned me; it was not like I was her boyfriend. She was really giving Peyton a hard time. Once I watched Peyton walk away from Elana, I followed her. Damn that girl moved fast, it wasn't long before I lost her. It did not help that she moved fast and the fact she was petite. After circling the entire building like 10 times I saw her walking outside into the gardens. She stopped by a tree I walked up next to her, she didn't even bother to turn to see who it was, and instead her eyes were fixed on a couple making out on a bench.

"Landon?"

She turned to face me.

"So I take it he is your friend…who has his tongue half way down my best friend's throat?"

Ah thought I recognised that girl. She must be Blake then.

"Let's leave them…"

I reached out for her hand but she swung her hand away and tightly crossed her arms. She started to approach them.

"Hey what the hell do you think you are doing? Just leave them."

"No. I need to talk to her."

She was now just in front of them with me standing slightly behind her.

"Hi, once you have finished shoving your tongue down my friend's throat I would like to talk to her."

The kissing couple immediately pulled away. I couldn't help but laugh.

"Peyton!"

"Blake…we need to talk."

She grabbed her friend's arm and walked away. I watched them walk away. Landon stood next to me.

"You like her?"

"She wasn't interested. But you on the other hand managed to pull the best friend."

"Ha and I thought you was the one who pulled the ladies. What happened man?"

"Well the girl I tried to get was too nice. She was keeping her distance from me because of Elana."

"Oh really? No worries man... We will see them again."

"What we will?"

"Yeah. They are both coming to Reading."

"No way."

Peyton is coming to Reading? Well now she will have to work extra hard to keep me away from her.

Present day

(Blake's POV)

We finally arrived at our new home. Tonight we will be having dinner with the Russo's. I was having a bit of trouble with William; he refuses to go to dinner. He and Edie are still not on speaking terms.

"William stop being so pathetic. You are coming to dinner."

"Mum. I really don't want to go. It means I will have to sit next to Edie."

"Well just maybe you will finally start talking."

"Well I'm not apologising."

"What are you 5? Come on you have been friends for so long now. Do not throw it all away because of a silly fight."

"Mother you don't understand."

With that my 16 year old son left the room. I knew him well, my relationship with my children has always been strong, and they could always turn to me. I know Peyton yearns for the same relationship with her children. Sure she has Edie to go shopping with but they are not close. Edie does not turn to her when she has problems. Hence Edie's near death experience. I know Edie means a lot my William, I also know William loves her. Truly loves her. He does not need to tell me, because you can see. His devotion, his love is shown all over his face. He is like his uncle Xavier. I remember how Xavier persistently chased Peyton till she gave in. But back then, Peyton shared the same feelings as Xavier. Edie shows no love for my son. Sure she loves him in a brotherly way but nothing more. My son goes through all this torment for this one girl who does not love him in the way he should be loved. I love Edie as if she was daughter. I hoped that she would become my daughter through marriage. Through marriage with my William, as they are perfect for each other. Edie just needs to see that the guy she has been dreaming about is already there in her life.

GG: The Redknapp's are the new socialites in town. Rumour has it that former BFFs Edie Russo & Will Redknapp are now sworn enemies. Like they say keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

You know you love me,

XOXO Gossip Girl."
