Losing is Hard. Forgetting? Is the Hardest.
Blair sighed blissfully. Her life was back in perfect order. She was the queen of Constance Billiard once again, she had her best friend Serena back, and she screwed up her love relationship with Chuck Bass….Okay, so everything was perfect besides the last thing, but that is easily fixable. All she had to do was proclaim her love to Chuck Bass and they could live happily ever after…Let's hope.
She was still in shock when Chuck refused to have sex with her when she wouldn't say the…three words. Blair was even more mad at herself for not saying them. She knew what she felt for Chuck and it was definably the three words, eight letters feeling.
So after school, she decided she finally needed to tell Serena what was spinning through her head. Blair needed to confess to someone. Although, she had a feeling that Serena already had a hunch about what was going on.
In her house, Blair sat down on her couch in the grand living room and took out cell phone and called Serena. It rang, once, twice, three times, and four before going to her voice mail. Blair sighed in frustration. Where was her best friend when she needed her most?
Blair was feeling desperate, so she called the Bass-Woodsen penthouse.
"Hello?" Eric answered the phone.
"Eric? It's me Blair. Do you happen to know where your sister is? She didn't answer her cell."
"She's probably in her room sulking. My parents founded her for dressing like a slut and disobeying the rules." He said rolling his eyes as he spoke.
"Okay. Just tell her I need to talk to her. It's important." Blair said before saying goodbye and hanging up.
"Leave it to S, to get grounded." Blair thought angrily.
--X--3--O--
After talking to Blair, Eric figured that's where Serena was. Sitting in her room pouting because she couldn't get her way.
He couldn't blame his older sister, we all deserve freedom, that doesn't mean he would go around disobeying the rules though. Bart and his mother meant well, they were just being extra protective of their children and he appreciated that.
Eric sighed. He desperately wanted to see his new boyfriend, but Bart had already told him to leave the house once. He sighed. Texting him will have to do for now.
He collapsed on the couch and pulled out his phone.
--X--3--O--
A good hour later, Eric stretched and got up. His boyfriend and him decided to meet for dinner tomorrow night and he wanted to make sure he was prepared, clothing wise.
Eric started walking towards his bedroom. He passed Serena's door and was reminded of his and Blair's conversation earlier. He paused and knocked at the door.
'"Serena?" He called out.
After a few moments of silence he pushed through the door, only to reveal an empty bedroom. He surveyed the room, but nothing seemed out of order. He was about to turn and head back out, a strong breeze hit him. He shivered, a chill running up his spine.
Eric crossed the room to close the window. He reached up and grabbed the window sill and began pulling it down. And that was where he saw her. She was lying on the ground, her golden hair sprawled haphazardly everywhere, her body perfectly still..
That's when he screamed.
--X--3--O--
Lily Van der Woodsen was driving home from the spa. She got an amazing massage and had a mani and pedi. She took a personal day, because Serena, her daughter, was causing her so much stress. And everyone knows that stress causes anxiety and anxiety causes wrinkles.
It seemed as if Serena was trying to rebel against all the new rules that her and Bart had planned. Yes, the kids have never experienced something like that, but Lily felt she was being a stronger parent, and she knew it was what Bart wanted, so she agreed.
When Bart told her about how she wore the too reveling dress and left the house, Lily's blood boiled. She knew Serena could've behaved better.
When Serena got home from her nights escapade, Lily pounced., performing the perfect parent in front of Bart. She grounded Serena for two weeks and told her that everyday after school she had to come home and do her homework in her bedroom and wasn't allowed to leave until she said so.
Lily felt that that punishment was fair and she no intention of backing down. She had to stick with the plan.
When the limo pulled up to her penthouse, and she made it inside, Lily sat down for what seemed like only two seconds, when she heard Eric's bloodcurdling scream echo throughout the penthouse. She flung herself off the chair and ran towards the scream.
Lily found Eric by the window in Serena's bedroom.
"What's going on?" Lily asked angrily.
Eric pointed to the ground outside, his eyes bulging out of his head. Lily rushed over and saw Serena, herself laying on the ground.
This sight caused Lily to scream herself and she sprinted outside, with Eric on her heels.
Lily knelt down beside her daughter, not even caring that her new skirt was getting ruined by the soil.
"Serena! Serena, honey! Wake up!" Lily shouted, shaking the body on the ground. When nothing happened, she demanded for Eric to call 911.
A few minutes later, that felt like days, paramedics came and scooped Serena up and placed her on a stretcher. She rode in the ambulance with them, grasping her daughter's hand, murmuring soothing words, not only for Serena, but herself as well.
The rest of it went by in a blur. At the hospital, doctors rushed them into a room and then continued rushing, doing several tests on Serena. One doctor demanded that Lily and Eric wait in the waiting room. Lily screamed in protest, but the doctor had won and she was soon pacing the small waiting room.
Two hours later, the doctor came out and he quickly ushered them into the room. Lily saw her daughter laying on the hospital bed, a million of wires hooked to her. She gasped and kneeled by the bedside taking Serena's cold hand.
Serena's eyes fluttered open and she smiled faintly at her mother.
"Serena! Serena! Are you okay?"
"…I'm fine. Mom,…I…I love you." Serena said, her voice raspy. She closed her eyes and Lily sighed in relief. Then, the equipment laying around the room flashed and made loud ear shattering beeping noises. The doctors charged at her sleeping daughter and again they found themselves in the waiting room, once more.
Lily felt herself losing composure as she took in what just happened. She sat on one of the uncomfortable red plush chairs and began to cry uncontrollably, Eric right beside her doing the same.
A half an hour later the head doctor came over to them. "I'm sorry." he said his own eyes filling up with tears.
Lily sobbed when his words registered in her head. She ran into the room and saw her once living daughter, laying still on the bed. She was about to run to her and hold her hand, and to feel her heartbeat, just to make sure the doctor's weren't lying but she was pulled away into the hallway.
Lily began walking back to the waiting room, desperately wanting to sit down and cry, but she saw Daniel Humphrey running towards her. The sight of him only made her tears fall harder.
"You're too late." She whispered to him as he passed her. She didn't look back. Lily suddenly didn't have energy anymore. She slowly sunk to the ground. And sat in the hallway crying her heart out.
Review please! Thank you.
