Nate's cell phone was buzzing from someone calling him. It fell off the drawer and woke everybody up. Serena moaned first and rubbed her head. "Oh my God, how much did I drink last night?" she breathed.
Blair giggled. "Too much S. Then you dragged everyone with you. Nate, do you have any Advil?" she asked. Nate nodded tiredly and slowly got up into the kitchen. He came back in ten minutes with a bottle of Advil in his hand. "What took you so long?" she asked tiredly.
"I kind of passed out half way there."
"You idiot," Chuck said.
Serena's blonde hair was everywhere. It was all tangled up, her makeup was everywhere on her face, and her eyes were scrunched up because her head hurt so much. She turned her head around to look at Chuck. "Why aren't you more hung over?" she asked drunkenly.
"Oh, I can consume massive amounts of alcohol and not get drunk."
Serena moaned again and dropped her head on her pillow. Everyone laughed. "Okay, you guys leave, now," Serena said tiredly and drunkenly as she pointed towards the door. Everyone laughed again. "Seriously, I want you to leave."
Nate sat next to Serena where he slept last night. "Serena, this is my house," Nate reminded her. They laughed again. "Guys, do you want to go to the other room?" Nate asked.
Serena slowly got up. "No, I'm up. Let's just sit here, and quietly talk," Serena told them.
Blair and Chuck looked at each other and laughed quietly to themselves. "So, what do you guys want to talk about?" Chuck asked them in a whisper.
Serena wiped her face. "Guys, quieter, please," she said.
They all laughed quietly again. "But Serena, if we go any quieter, we won't be able to hear what each other are saying," Blair pointed out.
"Yeah, how about we just do that," Serena said as she leaned on the head board. She fell asleep.
They all got up quietly and went to change. After they were done getting ready, Blair walked into Nate's room just to see Serena pushing herself up. "Oh S, do you need some water?" she asked caringly.
"Yeah, but I'll get it," Serena said a bit soberer.
Blair ran to the bed and tired to push Serena down. "No, I'll get it, don't worry." Serena smiled and lay on Nate's bed. Blair came back in three minutes. "Here you go," she said as she gave Serena a glass of water.
Serena drank half of it in one gulp. She came up for a breather. "Thanks, but I need to take a shower, I'll be back in a bit," she said as she got up and walked to the bathroom. She came into Nate's bedroom with just a towel on, then noticing that everybody was in the room. "Okay, I'm just going to get my clothes and I'll go get changed," Serena said awkwardly.
"No, it's okay, you can change in here, we don't mind," Chuck said.
Blair slapped him again. "Chuck, you are disgusting." Serena laughed at Blair and went to the bathroom to change. She came out and sat on the bed. "So, what do you guys want to do today?" Blair asked them.
"Well, want to have a party?" Serena asked.
Nate and Chuck looked at each other, confused. "I'm sorry I was thinking that this was the party," Nate said. That day Blair and Serena were texting everybody to come to Chuck's hotel suite at 9:00 P.M. for a party. Blair's cell phone was the first to vibrate. Then Serena's, then Nate's, and then Chuck's.
'Gossip Girl here. Word has it C, B, N, and S are having a party. Where, you might ask. At C's hotel suite of course, where else would you host the party of the Christmas vaca? You know I'll be there. All the gossip and drama, something is going down.
XOXO Gossip Girl.'
"Great, Gossip Girl is going to post everything that happens."
That night lots of people came to the party. Nobody would miss a party Chuck, Blair, Nate, and Serena were throwing. Nate was looking at Serena talking to some guy. They were laughing and jabbering about. Nate realized something then, he would never get Serena. She would flirt with every guy and date every guy, but she wouldn't date him, her best friend. He saw some girl, who was pretty, but wasn't as pretty as Serena, but he could settle. He walked over to her and started talking to her. Serena looked over at him and frowned. Nate was now flirting with another girl. "Excuse me Jonathan, I have to go over there," Serena said awkwardly as she pointed nowhere. She walked away from her brother's boyfriend and sat on Chuck's bed. At the end of the night, Blair was talking to some guy, Chuck was drinking scotch and talking to two girls, Nate was kissing the girl, and Serena was sulking on Chuck's bed.
"Actually, I think I'm going home with Blair tonight. I'll just get my stuff in the morning. Bye Nate." He nodded and hugged her goodbye. He pecked the girl on the lips and left Chuck's suite.
Blair came up to her an hour later and said, "S, I'm leaving, see you tomorrow?"
Serena nodded. "Yeah, see you tomorrow," she replied. Serena got up and hugged Blair goodbye. She watched as she left. The party ended an hour later. Chuck was left alone. He came up to Serena and sat next to her. "I'm surprised you are left empty handed," Serena said.
"Yes, well I saw you and dismissed them. What are you doing here all alone? Actually, what are you doing here?" Chuck asked her.
Serena exhaled and lay on his bed. She wiped her eyes. She didn't want to talk about this with Chuck. But she had to let it out. "You know about Nate right?"
"That you are in love with him? Yes," Chuck said quickly.
"Well I saw him with another girl, then he started kissing her, and I just can't bare it anymore. I want to hurt him like he hurt me," Serena said. Chuck lied down next to her and put his hand on her thigh. She lifted her head up and stared at him. "I'm going to have to get way drunker for this," she said.
Chuck got up and helped her up. "That's possible." Serena walked to the bar and poured three glasses of scotch. "Who else is coming?" Chuck asked jokingly. Serena pushed one glass of scotch to Chuck and took the other two. She chugged them down as fast as she could. Once she got properly drunk, she took Chuck's hand and pulled him to his bed. She kissed him and pushed him on the bed. "This is finally happening," Chuck breathed. Serena kissed him, and took off his shirt.
Serena woke the next day with an arm around her. Her hair was all messed up again. Her head was pounding again. "Chuck," she breathed. He moaned. "Get up Chuck, I need to get up," she said. Chuck rolled over on her. "Chuck, bones crushing, lungs collapsing," she said with a rough tone to her voice. "Chuck, get up right now. I'm going to scream in your ears."
He moaned once more. "I'm up, I'm up Serena," Chuck said quietly.
"Chuck, we can't do anymore of this, we can't tell anyone about this," Serena told him. The whole time she was thinking about Nate. "We're never going to talk about this again, got it? Last night was purely me getting back at Nate."
"Nate will find out about us. You're going to tell him because you still want him," Chuck said.
