Family Dramas

Darcy sat in her bedroom studying her script. Her parent always laughed at her focus on her movies which is why they liked when she had them. She wasn't her normal wild child partier when she had a role to prepare for. Today she was making it her day. No interruptions from anyone. Though Chuck wasn't listening to that because he had already called six times since that morning. She wasn't quite sure what time it was. She heard the elevator ding so she got up and walked into the living room.

"Good you're alive" Chuck said.

"I was taking a personal day Bass, I told you that"

"Lunch?" he asked raising a bag of food.

"What do you want?" she asked following him into the kitchen.

"Why do I need a reason to want lunch with you?"

"You always have an agenda Bass."

"Fine" he said setting the food on the counter. "I was gonna see if maybe you can tell me something about Carter."

"No" she said "I'm gonna tell you like I told him. I'm not getting involved"

"He's with Blair"

"I thought he had better taste than that" she said "No offense"

"None taken."

"I know too much about him but he knows a lot about me so I'm not getting involved"

"Please Ellis" he said as his phone rang. "Excuse me a moment"

He walked away from her to talk and she looked through the food.

"After we eat, I need to go"
"Who was on the phone" she asked.

"Serena"

"Let me guess she has something on my brother"

"I assume so" he said and they began to eat. "She wants me to call him."

"Bass"

"Please will you just call him, please" he said and then done something she never thought she would see Chuck do. Beg.

"Fine" she said. "Where do you want to meet him?"

"Serena and I's place"

"Alright"

They ate and Chuck left. She got out her phone and dialed him.

"Hey Darc?" he said.

"Hey" she said unsure of how to start this conversation.

"What does Chuck want?"

"Wow straight to the point"

"Darcy"

"He wants to meet you at the Van der Woodsen's. Before you ask why I don't know. I also don't want to know because I am done being between you."

"Okay, but will you be there? He won't be too brutal in front of you"

"I beg to differ but yeah sure." She said.

Later that evening she arrived at the Van der Woodsen's.

"Dubai again?" she heard Carter say. "Nice try, I'm having way too much fun. Nothing is gonna get me to leave town."

"What about Santorini?" Serena asked.

Santorini? Darcy thought. What were Serena and Carter doing in Santorini?

"Do you think Blair will want to hear about that? The Greek police? I still have all of their phone numbers from when they questioned me" Serena said and Darcy turned to Carter.

"You wouldn't" he replied.

"I would, but I won't if you leave town now. Alone"

"There are a few things I could hold over your head from that trip" Carter said then looked over at Darcy then back to Serena "But consider us even"

He walked over to Darcy and gave her hug then turned back to the other two.

"If the two of you think that getting rid of me is gonna magically change back your friend think again. I'm just a symptom of the disease, not the cause" he said then kissed Darcy's forehead "Love you sis"

"You too" she said confused and he left.

"What happened in Santorini?" Chuck asked Serena.

"Let's go find Blair" Serena said ignoring him and left the room. Chuck walked over to Darcy.

"You okay Ellis?" he asked.

"I'm always gonna be the middle man when it comes to you two aren't I?"

"I'm sorry"

"Go find Blair, I'll be okay" she said giving him a weak smile. She got back home and collapsed on the couch. She would have to schedule another solitude day. She looked over to the right and spotted her parent's wedding photo. Her phone vibrated and she spotted Nate's name. "Hey Archibald."

"You sound gloomy. Day of solitary not go well?"

"You could say that."

"Are you free tomorrow?"

"I thought your girlfriends name was Vanessa"
"Haha Darcy" he said "She'll be there as will Dan"

"A party?" she asked.

"It's a family thing at the Country Club"

"Fancy" she laughed.

"Please"

"Okay I'll be there"

"Thanks, Darc you're the best"

"You owe me"

"Kisses. Got it" he said which made her smile.

"Night Archibald" she said.

"Night Darc" he replied.

The next day Darcy showed up at the Country Club. She had been to the one in Beverly Hills with her dad a few times for doctor events. This one was wow. She spotted Chuck and Serena.

"Hi" she said to them.

"Why are you here?" Chuck asked.

"Well I was gonna ask you the same thing" she said then spotted Blair "But now I know. Hey Blair"

"Darcy Ellis" Blair said. Clearly the girl was drunk.

"Have you seen Nate?" Darcy asked Chuck.

"No"

"Well I'll let you handle this train wreck" she said and walked away. She spotted Nate up ahead talking to an older man. "There you are"

"Darcy, you made it!" Nate said then turned to his grandfather "Grandfather this is my good friend Darcy Ellis"

"Nice to meet you" his grandfather said and left.

"I think he likes me" she joked and Nate laughed.

"I'm sure he does. You're Darcy Ellis, people always like you"

"Of course" she laughed.

"Let's get some drinks" he said guiding her toward the bar.

"Where's the girlfriend?" she asked then spotted Vanessa who didn't look happy "Never mind I found her"

"Hey" Nate said kissing Vanessa's cheek.

"Anything you wanna say" Vanessa said.

"I'm gonna go" Darcy said walking away. She found the bar and got a drink. She sure needed one after yesterday. She walked around the place just getting lost. She rounded the corner and spotted Blair and Chuck kissing. She quickly turned back around pretending she didn't see anything. A few seconds later Blair rounded the corner followed by Chuck. He spotted her and turned to her.

"Hi" she said.

"How much did you hear?"

"I just saw you two kiss"

"Good"

"What happened Bass?"

"I don't know, but this isn't her" he said then began to walk away.

"Bass" she said grabbing his arm. He turned to her. "Just give her time"

"Thanks" he said

"Anytime Bass" she said smiling.

Darcy arrived at home and passed out on her bed. She couldn't sleep so she just stared at the ceiling. After a few hours she heard her bedroom door open and a shift on the bed. She turned and faced Chuck.

"Wanna talk about it?" she asked.

"No" he said.

"Bass" she said grabbing his hand.

"I went to Blair's"

"Bass?"

"Our friend Nate was there"

"Archibald?"

"One and Only"

"They're friends"

"They're exes"

"She's out of control. Maybe Nate is just what she needs. Try again tomorrow. If you care about her as much as I know you do you won't stop fighting for her. Now get some sleep" she said then snuggled into him and fell asleep.
