Chapter 13 (part one)

What do you do when you'll meet your daughter? A daughter who is already a teenager?

What do you feel? How do you act?

Questions, more questions, nothing but questions.

I don't know anything particular about how you feel when you meet your 15 year old daughter but what I do know is how Chuck Bass felt when he realized he had just met her.

His head was spinning and he felt like he had just entered a movie theatre, watching a film which leading character looked a lot like himself, he spoke like himself, he even acted like himself.

He watched a movie that was about him, starring people he knew and one girl he had never met before. That girl was his daughter.

But one person was missing in the cast of his very own movie.

The woman he loved, the woman he had loved since the first time he saw her and the woman he'll love forever.

And they say Chuck Bass wasn't a romantic…

But how could he say that he would love her forever … she was dead, she was dead and it was his fault.

His fault…

But this wasn't the time to drown in self-pity.

There was something or someone he had to take care of first.


Audrey and Serena sat in one of the huge, exclusive rooms in the palace hotel. They were both silently starring at the floor as if they were trying to do anything but thinking about the man who was sitting in a room not so far from the one they were sitting in.

"He's going to kill me…" Serena finally broke the silence.

"He's not… but he hates me" Audrey replied, he would blame her for her mother's dead. She knew he would.

"Audrey, you're his daughter he doesn't hate you. It's in your DNA. He can't hate you."

"He does, I can see it in his eyes…" It was true she saw the hate burning behind his eyes. He didn't knew that she was his daughter, he didn't knew that she was the reason he had never had a chance to fight for Blair and he had already hated her just because she looked like her mother.

Tears were beginning to stream down her cheeks again but she was sick and tired of being so weak, she couldn't take it any longer.

"I have to get out of here" she choked out and with that she was out of the room, nearly stumbling over her own feet because even though she tried hard the tears blinded her view.

Damien Baizen wasn't a boy who chased after girls, usually the girls chased after him. So he had been more than confused when the petit brunette girl had run away from him.

Who did she think she was?

She was completely different from the girls he knew. She had a sense of humour and from what he saw; she was also a little bitch. After all she hit his spine, no other girl had done that before and truth be told he liked that.

It was a nice change. The girls he knew were all very uptight and worried about their reputations but she didn't seem like she really cared what other people would say about her, she did what she wanted to do and he admired that about her. He did what he wanted to do, either.

His reputation was already bad; it couldn't get much worse so he had nothing to lose.

He was the son of Georgina Sparks and Carter Baizen his parents had met in rehab and after Georgina gave birth to him his grandparents had raised him.

When he was about four years old his parents got back together and after the wedding he moved in with them.

Everyone expected him to be bad, he was named after the spawn of Satan, how could he not be evil? And his parent's reputations were ruined as well they were just invited to social events because they were old money; they were members of the group even though no one trusted them.

And he as their son was meant to be just like them, he had to be like them. He was just a chip of the old book.

And even though he wasn't so sure of that himself he had to be… when everyone said that he was, how could he not be?

He was lost in his thoughts until a small figure ran through the lobby he was sitting in.

It was the girl from before… that girl that clouded up his mind just seconds ago.

He could see that she was crying.

Without thinking he got up and ran after her.

Well, well as I said Damien Baizen didn't chase after girls… rumour says that Audrey Waldorf is the one to change that.

Chuck entered the room next to the one he had just left and there he found the person he was searching for.

"Chuck" Serena stood up as she watched her stepbrother walking up to her.

"Serena" he said calm. To calm…

Serena noticed that, she knew Chuck was furious. She had known that since the moment she had sworn Blair to never tell Chuck. She knew it… She had been caught between two stools.

She had been caught between her dead best friend who she owned everything and her brother who she knew was suffering.

She had chosen her best friends. She had done it with a heavy heart, though. It had been one of the hardest decisions in her life… maybe it had even been the hardest one.

She didn't know.

"Chuck" she repeated. "I am so sorry."

And all of a sudden she could see it, the furious glimmer in his hazel eyes.

"So you're sorry?" he asked; his voice still calm.

"I am", she replied, "You have no idea how hard it's been these past years. Missing you, Blair, my mom, Eric, Nate… and doing the right thing. And of course, I had to raise Audrey… " she stopped when she noticed that he was shaking.

"I HAVE NO IDEA HOW HARD IT'S BEEN?" he shouted. "HOW DO YOU THINK IT'S BEEN FOR ME? EASY? I watched Blair leaving, I called like a motherfucking hundred times and all you ever said was: "She doesn't want to talk to you, Chuck. I am sorry." YOU KNOW WHAT I AM SERENA? FUCKING MAD. BECAUSE YOU WERE THE ONE PERSON I TRUSTED. I THOUGHT YOU'D TELL ME IF SOMETHING WOULD EVER HAPPEN TO HER… and all you did was remaining silent about her, about her and her life. And now that you're back you tell me that she's dead since bloody 15 years!" He finished out of breath.

Tears were streaming down Serena's cheeks. She had known he would say that. She had known that he would react like this. It was the reason she was so scared to meet him again. He would blame her for his suffering and the worst thing was that she knew he was right to do so.

She was the reason he had never had a chance to meet his daughter until now and all because she had promised Blair not to tell him anything.

Maybe had been wrong to keep silent but Serena had always thought that she owned Blair.

"Chuck…" she pleaded.

"Oh no don't "Chuck" me, Serena. It's enough. Leave! GO TO HELL!"

With that he stormed out of the room, slamming the massive wooden doors furiously.

Damien reached out and touched Audrey's shoulder.

"Hey" he whispered. "Are you alright?"

She turned around in shock and mustered him quickly.

"You" she spat out and flinched back.

"You came to tell me that meeting you here is my destiny? And that we'll marry and have two beautiful kids that I'll raise while you'll be cheating on me with your secretary?"

"No" Damien said. "I came to ask you if you were alright."

What was wrong with him? Why was he so genuine? He wasn't a nice person. Or was he? That was beside the point. Why did he even care what was wrong with her? He had just met her… her problems shouldn't matter to him. The problem was that they did.

"I'm fine."
"No, you're not."
"How would you know that?"

"Because you don't cry if you're fine. So tell me what happened."

"No… I… I can't."
"Then tell me what you're doing here, I've never seen you before."

She smiled a sad smile. That somehow reached his heart.

Damn it! He thought.

"That because I am not from her. I am from France. And I can't tell you what I am doing her because that would lead immediately to my problem."

"It's okay." He padded her shoulder carefully.

"So you're from France… tell me how is it there" he elegantly changed the subject.

She laughed a bit.

"It is great, very beautiful and very different from here. This town… it's like another world."

"I know what you mean. I moved here when I was about 7 years old. My grandparents raised me and they live in Connecticut. I was used to endless fields and horses and when I came here all I saw were skyscrapers and limos. It's pretty scarring, especially when you're just a kid."

"Are you sure that you're the same person from a little while ago?" she teased him.

He laughed and showed her his perfect white tees.

"I guess so, but maybe you changed me in our brief conversation" he mocked her.

"Oh shut up, idiot" she winked at him.

"I am Damien" he said and shacked her hand formerly.

"I am…" but she didn't have the time to finish her sentence."

"Audrey", she couldn't finish the sentence because Chuck Bass did that for her instead.

"I need to talk to you" he looked down at her with sad eyes that were wined.

Audrey couldn't say anything, she just starred at him an eternity later (at least if felt like that to her) she nodded, took the hand he offered her and with his help she stood up, her knees were shaking.

"Okay" she muttered nervously.

TBC -SOON

I know it's awful short but therefore I promise there'll be a update soon. It's like one chapter cut into two pieces but at least you didn't have to wait longer for an update. Please review and help me or just tell me what you liked/didn't like it encourages me to write.
