"Mom?" I asked after answering the door. There was Alison Humphrey standing in front of me. "What are you doing here?"
"I came here to talk to your brother." Mom said. "What are you doing here? You're supposed to be in school."
"Alison, it's good to see you." Dad greeted her. I like that they were at least on good terms. "If you're here to talk about a certain website, you need to talk to both of our children."
"So you were in on this too." She stated as she looked over the two of us. "Why am I not surprised? Do you two have anything to say for yourselves?"
"Mom, we did this because this was what the people wanted. We gave them something that they could talk about." I explained.
"At least we didn't do this the Perez Hilton thing and draw pictures of male organs on people." Dan joked. "Look, Mom we never meant to hurt anyone from this. We made some mistakes and at points it got out of control. We were actually about to shut the site down for good."
"Well I guess I can't punish you considering that both of you are adults now." She stated. "It's also good to see you again, Jen. I thought you were never coming back after you went to London."
"I actually was going to come back after the semester was done." I explained to her. "After wanting to get out so bad, I realized how much I missed New York. I was going to transfer to NYU in the spring. So, Dan, I never asked you how your quest to get Serena back was going."
"As of right now, we are officially together." Dan remarked. "Also, Chuck and Blair got married and all is right in the world."
"Well I should probably get heading back." Mom declared.
"Alison, why don't you stay for dinner?" Dad suggested. "I think we could all use some catching up."
"I'm gonna go out for a little while." I explained. "I'll be back in time for dinner which I assume is going to be chili. Some things will never change."
I went out the door. I knew that I would have to make amends with certain people. I hope Serena would forgive me. She was probably going to be my sister-in-law someday and I did not want her to continue hating me.
I went out onto the streets of New York. I took a cab to the Upper East Side.
"Hey, can you hold the door?" A voice asked. I knew that voice. Oh no, I did not want to see her here.
"Drive now." I commanded.
"Sorry, Miss, I can't leave paying customers." The driver told me. Great, now I'm going to die.
I sighed as the brunette model entered the vehicle.
"Jenny." She remarked in surprise.
"Hi, Agnes." I greeted her politely. I didn't have any reason to be polite since she made my life miserable, but I was anyway.
"I heard that you were back in town.' She remarked.
"Agnes, can we just not talk to each other and go where we need to go?" I requested.
"You have all of the reason in the world to hate me." She declared. "I made your life hell and almost put you through something completely horrible. I guess it was justice what happened to me."
"I was the one who got…" She remarked as tears came to her eyes. I closed the cabbie window and gave her a hug. "Why are you showing me pity? You should be happy that I got what deserved."
"Agnes, no one deserves to be raped." I told her. "I'm sorry that that happened to you."
"I did some horrible things to you and I wanted to forget it all. For the most part, I did until today when your brother posted that article." She explained. "I guess I'll always have the scars from it."
"You know, I was thinking of starting my own line." I remarked. "Maybe you could be the face of it."
"I don't understand why you would do that for me. I haven't done much modeling in the past few years since it happened." She explained.
"You should come with me. I was going to Waldorf Designs to see if I could get my job back. I could pitch you for my line." I suggested.
"You know I'm not used to people being nice to me." Agnes admitted as I told the driver to take us to Blair's mother's shop. "I was really impressed by what you and your brother managed to do. The fact that you managed to keep it a secret for six years is also really impressive. All I could think of when I found out about it was 'That bitch is a genius'."
We arrived at the boutique not long after and I paid the driver to go away. That was one thing that was different about living in London. I drove everywhere, on the other side of the road and the other side of the car. I need to remember to sell that before I come back.
I walked into the shop and she sheepishly followed behind me. I think she was nervous because Eleanor Waldorf was one of the biggest names in the fashion industry.
I didn't seem to find Eleanor. What I did was the new Mrs. Bass. I don't know if I was ready to face her. I at least needed to ask her if her mom was here.
"Well, well, look what the cat dragged in." Blair greeted me. Oh crap. She then gave me a hug. "It's good to see you J."
"I don't understand. I thought you hated me." I replied. I looked at Agnes and was left with a sense of déjà vu. Now I was on the other side.
"Well I dated your brother and that made it harder to hate you." She explained. "Is that the girl who drugged you and destroyed all of your dresses?"
"I've decided to give her another chance." I remarked. I then whispered. "She had some really bad things happen to her, and while some may believe it's karma, it was too much, especially since your husband tried to do it to me."
"So why are the two of you here?" Blair asked, wanting to get off the subject.
"I need to talk to your mom about getting my job back." I responded.
"My mom is taking some time off of the company and has left control of it to me. I don't know if you've heard, but I just had first successful launch." Blair boasted. Wow, I didn't even know that Blair was interested in fashion. "So what exactly were you planning to do if I gave you your job back?"
"Well, I wanted to start my own line. This brings me to why I brought Agnes with me. I want her to be my first model." I told her.
"You know there hasn't been another line under Waldorf Designs in years." She mentioned.
"I understand, but I think that this could be a great opportunity for both of us." I replied.
"How long are you going to be in town?" She asked.
"I need to be back on Sunday night." I responded. I felt kind of tired. This is my first time with jet lag.
"Well how about you make me something by Saturday?" Blair suggested. "If I like it, I'll give you the job and we can work together when you get back."
"Okay." I agreed. "I was pretty sure that I could do that."
"Well I need to get going." Agnes announced. "Thank you for the help. She wrote down something on a piece of paper. Here's my number. You can call me when you get back."
She walked out with a smile on her face.
"So just to be clear, your brother is shutting that site with the name we will never speak of again down, right?" Blair asked.
"Yes." I confirmed. "The post I made today will be the last."
"Good." She remarked. "You can go now."
I walked out the door and collided with someone as I did.
"Jenny?" He asked.
"Nate." I responded.
So I know the pairing of Rufus and Alison may not be the preferred choice, but I'm trying to keep it as close to canon as popular. I just cannot justify Rufus and Lisa Loeb. If Serena's parents can get back together, so can Dan and Jenny's. Also, a lot of people probably don't like Agnes, but I am such a big Willa Holland fan that I want her redeemed. And lastly, it's Nate. What are he and Jenny going to say to each other? Please don't forget to review.
