Miss Those Rooftops

Darcy walked into the apartment after her A.A meeting. With everything with Carter she needed someone to talk to that wasn't gonna say anything mean about him. Not to mention her and Chuck getting their hotel up and running was making things hard as well. She saw her dad at the table.

"Hey Dad" she said hugging him.

"Hey sweetheart. Where's your other half"

"His cousin is running for congress so he's helping out"

"Politics" William said raising an eyebrow.

"Not for me, the last time I dealt with politics was my 4th grade glass president and I lost."

"Yes your mother told me about that."

"I vowed never to get involved" she smiled.

"You two are good though right. When I was here last you two seemed tense."

"Carter"

"Now I understand. He doesn't like Carter?"
"He has good reason but still."

"Don't let Carter get in the way of you and Nate."

"I'm not. We're good now"

"Good" her dad said.

"We are actually going out to lunch soon" she smiled "Care to join?"

"I'll let you two have your night. We can do it another time"

"You sure?" she asked as her phone rang and she saw Nate. "Hold that thought."

"Hey beautiful." he said as she answered the phone.

"Hey, I was just talking about you"

"Oh really?"

"I was telling Dad about our lunch plans and invited him"

"Oh, well I'm actually calling to talk to you about that"

"Oh no you have to cancel?" she said bummed.

"I promised Serena I would help her with something"

"Okay, well I hope you two have fun" she said with a fake smile. She was really looking forward to time with her boyfriend.

"We won't at least I won't, I'll miss you like crazy" he said.

"Me too" she smiled "I'll talk to you later"

She hung up and turned to her dad.

"Lunch? You and I?"

"Sounds good to me" he smiled.

She got changed and they headed across town away from the Upper East Side.

"So what are all your friends up to tonight?" her dad asked.

"Um well Olivia has plans with her boyfriend, Nate is doing something to help a friend of ours and Bass is doing something with his evil girlfriend"

"Evil?"

"She's Nates ex and we really aren't best friends. Probably never will be."

"You put up with her for your friends sake" he asked.

"Yes but I hate it with a passion"

They ate their lunch and headed back to the apartment. She sat on her bed doing her homework when it began to get dark. Her phone buzzed and she looked over.

BASS: Will you come over? Need a rooftop

She got her phone and headed out.

"Where you headed?" he dad asked sitting at the table.

"A friend of mine needs a friend." She replied.

"Bass?"

"Yeah" she smiled. "I'll be back"

She got to Chuck's and knocked on the door. He cracked it open and saw her.

"Hey Bass" she said giving him a faint smile and he opened it and let her in. "You okay Bass?"

"Blair" he said handing her a glass of water.

"What about her?" she asked.

"She used me" he said taking a drink.

"How? What? Why?"

"So many questions Ellis. You seem to be enjoying this"

"No I don't Bass. We're friends"

"She had me kiss another guy. Tricked me more like it"

"Was he hot?"

"Ellis"

"I'm sorry. I had too. The fact you kissed another guy amuses me."

"Really?"

"What?" she said "Oh come one I've kissed another girl. Actually multiple but I was also trashed"

"Wow. I learn something new about you everyday" he laughed then smiled at her "Thank you"

"For?"
"Listening and making me laugh"

"What are friends for?" she said "Plus I miss our rooftop moments"

"Me too"

"I'm still upset though on how you handled the Carter deal" she said as someone knocked on the door.

"Chuck" Blair said from the outside but he ignored it.

"Wow, you're really pissed at her" she said

"She uses people that she has little respect for"

"I'm gonna tell you what I told Nate a few years ago. You're my friend not her so whatever happens. I have your back."

"Good to know" he said and she grabbed his hand giving it a light squeeze.

"I would stay and we could relive that rooftop scene from a few years ago but I have a bunch of homework"

"Go, I'll be fine." He said as they both stood up. She kissed his cheek and walked to the door and left.

She got back to the apartment and spotted Nate sitting on her couch.

"Hey" she said and sat down next to him.

"Hey, where were you?"
"Bass's. Blair did something and he needed a shoulder to cry on. Figuratively"

"What did she do?"

"Used him, how was the thing with Serena"

"Were no longer talking"

"What did you do?"

"I think its best you don't know"

"Is it related to Carter?"

"Yeah"

"Then yeah I don't want to know" she replied and leaned in to him.

"I'm gonna head back to my dorm, I have another early morning."

"If you must" she said and kissed him.

"Goodnight" he said kissing her forehead and standing up.

"Goodnight" she replied and watched him leave.
