Chapter 8 A new year to remember
The ball was dropping in Time Square, but the real action was happening in Brooklyn.
" So how are things with Aaron," Dan asked Serena tentatively.
" We broke up in South America," Serena explained," I told my Mom everything was great so she wouldn't have to worry, but I had a miserable time there,"
" That's terrible," Dan said," What happened?"
Serena then went on to tell Dan how Aaron had started drinking again. He got really mean and tried to rape her. She reported him and he was arrested. When he woke up the next day he didn't remember what had happened, all he knew was that he blew it. He tried to get Serena to give him another chance, but she wasn't taking a risk. So it was a bitter breakup, she couldn't wait to come home.
" Wow," Dan said after Serena told him everything," That's a really bad breakup. Are you ok?"
" Yeah I'll be fine I just need some time," Serena answered. " To tell you the truth I really just wanted to talk to you, the minute I stepped on that plane I knew we did the wrong thing," Serena said.
" I haven't been able to stop thinking about you," Dan replied. They both knew things were far from over at that point. There was no turning back now. Everything happened all at once. One minute they were kissing and the next Rufus and Lily saw what was happening.
