Chapter 6 Serena's back

" Hi Mom, I missed you!" Serena exclaimed getting out of the elevator. Rufus and I had agreed to spend New Years together but we still had to work things out with our families. For now I was in my apartment and he was at the loft welcoming Dan and Jenny back.

" Where's Aaron?" I asked, " And how was Buenos Ares? I want to hear all about it!"

" Aaron went to go see his father at Blair's and the trip was great the weather was beautiful!" Serena explained. She went on to tell me all the places the two of them had gone and how great everything was. I had no idea how I could begin to tell her about my Christmas. Then she asked that dreaded question, the one I was hoping she wouldn't ask, " So how have you been?"

" Well I'm with Rufus now," I explained, I knew this wouldn't come as too much of a shock to her since I had already told her we wanted to be together.

" That's great Mom I knew it would happen I'm so happy for you," she said even though I knew she was still getting used to the idea of her mother being with her ex boyfriends father.

" Well things have been a little complicated, but we're working things out and we are definitely together," I explained.

" That's great Mom, like I said before, it's time for you to follow your heart," Serena said. We hugged and I felt better knowing that Serena was ok with everything. " So what are we doing for New Years, going to a party at the Waldorf's?" Serena said sarcastically knowing she was more than likely right.

" No, we're not actually," I said," We're spending New Years at the Humphrey's that is if it's ok with you?" I was nervous that things might be awkward for Serena and Dan, but Serena seemed more than happy we were going there instead. I would have to ask her how things were with Aaron later.
