The Bet.

Chuck's Point of view…

Later that night…

When I received my text message from Gossip Girl, I held my breath. This was going to shatter Emily, which was the last thing that I wanted it to do. I didn't even want Gossip Girl to have a part in this.

So, I started to pack my bags. If I left right now, I could dodge having to talk to Joe, and I could make it to the airport for a trip to England.

I started to pack my bags quickly. Only preparing 6 months worth of clothes, I think that should be enough. And Joe wouldn't even have the guts to come into my room, so I was safe with that.

I arranged for my limo to come and pick me up from the Palace. I grabbed my bags, and my phone and set out for my departure. I walked out to the Palace and sat on a nearby bench as I waited for my limo.

When the limo pulled up the most peculiar thing happened. It was different than usual, and most unexpected. But in Manhattan and you're a teenager a lot of things are unexpected.

"Where would you like to go tonight, Mr. Bass?" George, my limo driver, asked me.

"The Airport." George nodded as he grabbed my bags and started to put them back in the trunk. When I started to open the door, George interjected.

"By the way, Mr. Bass, you have a passenger." George said. I raised an eyebrow and opened the door to see a blonde beauty.

"I'm going to smile like nothings wrong, talk like everything's perfect. Act like it's all a dream, and pretend it's not hurting." Emily said. I got into the limo, wordlessly, and I put my arm around Emily's shoulders, reassuringly.

"Did you pack?" Emily nodded. I nodded too. "I'll be your friend, your bed buddy, anything that you want me to be, Emily. I'm the one who got you into this mess, so I'm going to try and help you out of it." Emily nodded.

"Thanks, Chuck." She whispered.

"Anytime….anytime, Emily." I whispered as I kissed the top of her head.

Meanwhile, with Joe.

Joe's point of view.

I sighed as I walked up the steps to my apartment. Chuck moved in, but I had a feeling he'd be long gone. When I got to the apartment, I opened the door, took my jacket off, and went to the mini wet bar. I really needed a drink. And there I found a note, and another one.

The first one was from Chuck and it was on the refrigerator. I read:

Dear Joseph,

Sorry about everything. There should be some leftover alcohol in the fridge.

And by the way, Emily wasn't the one who started everything, it was me. I told her that it'd be 'an affair, nothing more.' Only because you and Emily weren't going out at the time. And I'm guessing that when you got the text message from Gossip Girl, you two already made up and all that love stuff.

Wish you the best,

Chuck.

The second note was in the fridge, right on my favorite drink. I held my breath as I read the author of the note. It was from Emily.

Dear Joseph,

I'm guessing that I'm not here with you right now, so you must know that I slept with Chuck.

I'm truly sorry, but that wasn't my fault, and I'm also guessing that we probably made up, but that's not going to happen very long.

Oh, by the way, I'm leaving. I'm not sure where but I'll be back, I just don't know when. I need to clear my head to see if I'm making the right decision.

With all my love,

Emily.

I sighed, I felt horrible now. Especially since Emily was leaving. And I wasn't sure where she was, or when she was going to be back which really sucked.

I went to my bed and laid there, soon I fell asleep, leaving all my memories of Chuck and Emily behind, and going into my dream.

My dream consisted of a game, and how it was between a boy and a girl.

They both loved each other, but couldn't say it to each other, because they were only together because of the game. If they did, they both would get bored.

When my dream ended in darkness, I woke up with a start. And sighed. If my dream was telling me something, it was about Emily and I.

I wasn't going to let Emily and I just be about the game. I was going to love her…whenever she got back from where she was.

The only thing is:

Will she ever come back?

Author's Note:

Of course there is going to be a sequel. It's going to be called 'The Game' and the new story trailer will be up for it soon, it'll be on my account so you might have to subscribe to that story too.

Tell me if I should make a sequel though, because I really enjoy making these, and I hope that you guys will want to wonder what's going to happen to Joe and Emily….and Chuck.

Review?
