Part 4, Lipstick

Nate Archibald x fem! Reader (named)

Part 1. Part 2. Part 3.

In the days that followed the white party, Charlotte couldn't get Nate out of her mind. She tried to focus on her new relationship with Dan, but it was clear to both of them that something was off. One afternoon, she found herself wandering the streets of the Upper East Side, her thoughts in turmoil.

"Hey, Charlotte," a familiar voice called out.

She turned to see Nate jogging up to her. He looked a bit hesitant, but there was a determined glint in his eyes. "Hey, Nate," she replied, forcing a smile.

"Can we talk?" he asked.

"Sure," she said, leading him to a nearby bench.

They sat in silence for a moment, each unsure how to start. Finally, Nate took a deep breath. "I've been thinking a lot since the party. About you, about us... And I realized I was an idiot not to see it sooner."

"See what?" Charlotte asked, her heart pounding.

"That I've always had feelings for you, Charlotte. I just never had the guts to admit it."

Charlotte felt a surge of emotions, a mix of hope and fear. "Nate, I've liked you for so long, but I thought you only saw me as a friend."

Nate took her hand. "I was scared, Charlotte. Scared of ruining what we had. But seeing you with Dan made me realize I can't keep pretending. I don't want to lose you."

Charlotte's eyes filled with tears. "I don't want to lose you either, Nate."

He leaned in and kissed her softly, and it felt like everything finally made sense. Pulling back, Nate smiled. "So, where does that leave us?"

Charlotte laughed, wiping her tears. "I think it means we should give this a real shot."

A few weeks later, Charlotte was getting ready for another party, this time a more intimate gathering with just close friends. She was in Blair's room, trying on different outfits.

"I still can't believe you and Nate are finally together," Blair said, grinning as she adjusted Charlotte's hair. "It took long enough."

"I know," Charlotte replied, smiling. "But I'm glad it happened."

Blair handed her a tube of lipstick. "Here, try this. It's my new favorite shade."

Charlotte took the lipstick and applied it carefully, noticing the rich, deep red color. "I love it," she said, turning to face Blair. "Thank you."

"You're welcome," Blair replied. "Now, let's go show everyone how fabulous you look."

As they walked downstairs, Charlotte felt a wave of happiness. She was finally with Nate, and she had her friends by her side. Everything was falling into place.

At the party, Nate found her almost immediately, wrapping his arms around her. "You look amazing," he whispered.

"Thanks," she said, smiling up at him. "You don't look so bad yourself."

Dan approached them, holding two glasses of champagne. "To new beginnings," he said, raising a glass.

Charlotte clinked her glass against his. "To new beginnings," she echoed.

Nate smiled and kissed her, and for the first time in a long while, Charlotte felt completely at peace.

Epilogue

Months later, Charlotte and Nate were still going strong. They had become inseparable, their relationship growing deeper with each passing day.

One afternoon, as they were strolling through Central Park, Nate stopped suddenly. "I have something for you," he said, reaching into his pocket.

Charlotte raised an eyebrow. "Oh? What is it?"

Nate pulled out a familiar tube of lipstick. "This," he said, holding it up, "is the lipstick you wore the night we finally got together. I wanted you to have it as a reminder of that night."

Charlotte took the lipstick, her eyes filling with tears. "Thank you, Nate. This means so much to me."

Nate smiled, pulling her into a hug. "I love you, Charlotte."

"I love you too, Nate," she whispered back.

As they walked hand-in-hand, Charlotte knew that their future was bright. She had found her place in the world, and it was right beside Nate Archibald.

My Sunshine

Blair Waldorf x Chuck Bass

Requested by @miaandthediamonds (Soo sorry for the delay, this was in my drafts forever and I forgot to post it)

‘You could stop you know?’ Samantha Adams said holding Alexis Bass-Waldorf’s hair back, lifting her head up from the toilet, Alexis smirked, ‘Now- where’s the fun in that?’ This is mostly how Friday nights went for the two best friends, Alexis drinking and Sam holding her hair back as her puked the remnants of her parent’s fancy dinner. This one was no different, yelling a ‘Bye Mom! I’m going to Sam’s for the night!’ Alexis closed the door and walked towards the waiting bike on which her ‘boy of the night’ would be waiting for her, stopping at a public restroom and discarding her meek sweater and long pants for a glittery dress that barely covered her ass. Getting back on the bike, they got off at a club showed their fake id’s and made there way inside, quickly blending in with the sweaty bodies dancing to a song that rendered irrelevant to most of the people who were basically dry humping on the dance floor. The boy she was with- Lucas? Or maybe it was Liam, motioned for her to follow him. Leading her to a dark corner of the barely lit club her produced two small plastic bags, each with one dosage of cocaine, grinning, Alexis grabbed the bag and inhaled the pack mouthing a ‘Thank you’ to the boy. Pulling him in for a kiss she made out with him for a few minutes, then getting considerably bored, she pushed him back and made her way towards the dance floor. A few minutes in she felt a hand snaking towards her waist, turning around Alexis’s eyes met with that of a man that looked at 25 or 28, trying to push him away she muttered, ‘Not interested, sorry’ ‘Oh come on!’ He said pulling her closer, struggling for a few seconds she finally lifted her foot up and pressed her 3 inch heels in his toe, ‘Fuck!’ He swore loudly, walking backwards, ‘You could’ve said you weren’t interested you bitch!’ He said, ‘Yeah? Well I did dickward!’ ‘

'You’re asking for it SLUT!’ and with those parting comments the man, escorted by security, was thrown out. Unaware of the damage he had caused to the young heiress.

______________________________________________________________________

Running to the restroom, tears flooding out of her eyes, Alexis threw open the cubicle door and sank to the floor, kneeling and head in the toilet she inserted two fingers in her mouth trying to puke and get rid of the remnants of parents fancy dinner. A few minutes later pulling herself up, she shakily got her phone out, wiping her tears and offering a confident persona, dialing a familiar number she took a deep breath, ‘Hey Sam! I’m- um- I’m drunk, could you- um- could you pick me up?’

______________________________________________________________________

Alexis took a shaky breath as she hung up the phone, her heart pounding in her chest. She leaned against the bathroom stall, her reflection staring back at her from the cracked mirror above the sink. Mascara streaked down her cheeks, and her hair was a tangled mess from the chaos of the night.

As the effects of the cocaine started to wear off, she felt a pit of dread growing in her stomach. It wasn’t just the nausea; it was the realization that she was spiraling, just like her parents had years ago. They had always warned her about the dangers of excess, about how their youthful indiscretions had nearly destroyed them both. But in her defiance, Alexis had chosen to walk the same dark path, fueled by a cocktail of rebellion and inherited self-doubt.

When she stepped out of the club into the cool night air, she spotted Sam’s car pulling up to the curb. Sam jumped out, worry etched on her face as she hurried over to her friend.

“Alexis, are you okay?” Sam asked, her voice trembling slightly.

Alexis nodded, though she knew she was anything but okay. “Just take me home, please.”

The ride back to the Waldorf penthouse was silent, Sam glancing over at Alexis every so often, unsure of what to say. When they finally arrived, Alexis quietly thanked her and slipped out of the car, sneaking inside the house without making a sound.

As soon as she closed the door behind her, she let out a long, shaky breath. She was safe for now, but she knew she couldn’t keep this up. The weight of her secrets was becoming too much to bear.

---

The next morning, Alexis tried to go about her day as if nothing had happened. She joined her parents for breakfast, forcing a smile as she sipped her coffee. Blair and Chuck were deep in conversation about something trivial when Blair’s phone pinged with a notification.

“Ugh, it’s Gossip Girl again,” Blair muttered, rolling her eyes as she glanced at the screen. But her expression quickly shifted from annoyance to horror as she read the post.

Chuck noticed her change in demeanor and immediately grabbed the phone from her. His face paled as he read the message aloud:

“Spotted: Alexis Bass-Waldorf leaving a club with a nose full of trouble. Just like Mommy and Daddy, huh? Guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”

The room fell silent as the words hung in the air. Alexis felt her heart drop to her stomach as her parents turned to her, their eyes wide with a mix of concern and disbelief.

“Alexis, is this true?” Blair’s voice was soft, but there was an edge to it that sent chills down Alexis’s spine.

She wanted to deny it, to come up with some excuse that would make it all go away. But as she looked into her mother’s eyes, she knew she couldn’t lie anymore.

“I… I’m sorry,” she whispered, tears welling up in her eyes.

Blair and Chuck exchanged a glance, and for a moment, Alexis could see the pain in their expressions. They had tried so hard to protect her from the mistakes they had made, but it seemed history was repeating itself.

Chuck stepped forward, his voice gentle but firm. “We need to talk about this, Alexis. We need to figure out what’s going on and how we can help you.”

Alexis nodded, knowing that this was the moment she had been dreading. But maybe, just maybe, it was also the moment she needed.

The tension in the room was thick as Alexis stared at her parents. Blair and Chuck had always been pillars of strength to her, but now they looked vulnerable, fragile even. The weight of disappointment and fear in their eyes was almost unbearable.

Blair took a deep breath, trying to steady herself. "Alexis, we love you," she began, her voice trembling slightly. "But we can't help you unless you're honest with us. How long has this been going on?

Alexis wiped a tear from her cheek, looking down at her hands. "I don't know... a while," she admitted. "It started with just partying, like everyone else does. But then it got... worse."

Chuck's face tightened as he asked, "Worse how? The drinking, the drugs, the... bulimia? How deep are you into this?"

She winced at the mention of bulimia, shame washing over her. "I... I didn't want to end up like this," she confessed, her voice cracking. "I thought I could handle it, but it just got out of control. I didn’t want to worry you."

Blair reached out, placing a hand over Alexis's. "Sweetheart, it's not about worrying us. It's about you. Your health, your future. We’ve been down that road, and trust me, there’s nothing glamorous about it. It nearly destroyed us."

Chuck nodded, his tone softer now. "We’ve made mistakes, Alexis. We know what it’s like to be young and feel invincible, to think that the rules don’t apply to you. But the truth is, they do. And we don’t want you to learn that the hard way."

A tear slipped down Alexis’s cheek. "I didn’t want to disappoint you…"

"You haven’t disappointed us," Blair said, her voice firm but filled with love. "But we are worried. And we’re here to help you get through this, no matter what it takes."

Alexis looked up at her parents, feeling the sincerity in their words. For the first time in a long time, she felt a small sense of hope. Maybe she didn’t have to do this alone.

"I don’t know how to stop," she admitted, her voice barely above a whisper. "Every time I try, it feels like I’m losing control. And I’m scared."

Blair squeezed her hand. "We’ll figure it out together. We can get you the help you need, whether it’s therapy, rehab, or anything else. We’re not going to let you go through this alone."

Chuck nodded in agreement. "You’re our daughter, Alexis. And there’s nothing more important to us than making sure you’re okay. We’ll fight this battle with you, every step of the way."

Alexis felt a wave of relief wash over her. She had been so terrified of their reaction, but now she realized that all they wanted was to help her. Maybe this was her chance to finally take control, to break the cycle before it consumed her completely.

"Thank you," she whispered, tears streaming down her face now. "I’m ready to get better. I don’t want to be like this anymore."

Blair pulled her into a tight embrace, holding her as she cried. Chuck joined them, wrapping his arms around both of them in a protective hug.

"We’ll get through this," Blair whispered into Alexis’s hair. "Together."

For the first time in what felt like forever, Alexis believed her. And maybe, just maybe, things would start to change.

Lover

(Harry Potter x fem! Reader! (NAMED)

Charlotte scribbled random lyrics on the parchment she had gotten, the quiet of the library comforted her,

‘Ladies and gentlemen will you please stand?

With every guitar string scar on my hand,

I take this magnetic force of a man to be my,

Lover’

She hummed slightly, making up her own tune, ‘Charlotte!’ Her head shot up, looking at her friend, ‘You coming? We have transfiguration in 10.’ Nodding and getting up hastily, Charlotte gathered her things, not noticing the parchment she had been writing on, had been left behind.

‘Sod off Ron.’ Harry said, declining him having a crush on Ginny, he entered the library and shot a slight smile to the librarian. He walked towards a desk and sat down taking his books and parchment out of his book bag and placing them in front of him, when he noticed a piece of slightly yellowed parchment innocently sitting on the desk, pulling the piece of paper towards him and glanced at the hastily scribbled writing on the paper, smiling and reading the lyrics he jotted down his own, adding the words under the previously written verse,

‘Look in my eyes, They will tell you the truth,

The girl in my story will always be you,

I’d go down with the titanic it’s true,

For you…..Lover’

He smiled to himself, leaving the parchment where he found it, not knowing who the original writer was but feeling a strange connection to them.

---

Charlotte came back to the library later, realizing she’d left her lyrics behind. She was surprised to find someone had added to them, and the new lines felt like they were meant just for her. Her friends, noticing her excitement, started teasing her.

“Looks like you’ve got a secret admirer!” one of them joked.

“Your perfect match, writing love songs for you,” another chimed in.

Blushing, but intrigued, Charlotte decided to add another verse, leaving the parchment on the desk again.

---

The next day, Harry returned to the library, surprised but pleased to find the parchment still there. And now, there was more:

Harry’s heart raced as he added his own lines beneath hers.

Feeling bold, he grabbed another piece of parchment and wrote:

“Are you real, or am I just dreaming? Leave me another verse, and maybe one day we’ll meet. – Your Songmate”

He left the two parchments together on the desk, hoping whoever wrote the first part would respond.

---

Days passed, and Charlotte and Harry continued their secret exchange through the parchment, each adding verses and little notes, never revealing their identities. Charlotte found herself thinking more and more about her mystery songmate, while Harry couldn’t stop wondering who the girl behind the lyrics was. His friends started noticing how lost in thought he’d become.

“Harry, what’s got you smiling like that all the time?” Ron asked, nudging him.

“Yeah, you’ve been really happy lately,” Hermione added, her brow furrowed.

But Harry just shrugged them off, keeping his secret.

---

One day, Harry was walking through the corridor when he spotted a notebook lying on the floor. He picked it up, and when he opened it, his breath caught. The handwriting was the same as the one on the parchment—the same lyrics that had been keeping him up at night.

Just then, Charlotte came hurrying down the hall, eyes wide as she saw him holding her notebook.

“Thank you, Harry,” she said, a little breathless as she took it from him.

He watched her walk away, his mind spinning. Now he knew—his mystery girl, the one he’d been writing songs with, was Charlotte.

---

After that, Harry couldn't help but watch Charlotte a little more closely, noticing the way she hummed to herself, or how her eyes lit up when she was deep in thought. He still hadn’t told her he knew, but there was something comforting about knowing that the girl who had captured his heart through music was right there, within reach.

---

Charlotte’s heart was racing as she walked away from Harry in the hallway. She could feel his eyes on her, and a part of her wanted to turn around, to see if he knew. But she couldn’t. Not yet.

Over the next few days, the song exchanges stopped. Harry couldn’t bring himself to add anything new, not when he already knew the truth. Charlotte noticed the silence, and it started to gnaw at her. Had her mystery songmate lost interest? Or had she been too late to figure out who he was?

She was about to give up when one day, she found another piece of parchment tucked into her Transfiguration book. It wasn’t the usual lyrics they’d been sharing. This one was different.

*Harry's Note:*

“I think it’s time we met.

Tonight by the lake, after everyone’s gone to bed.

If you’re real, if you’re the one I’ve been writing with,

I’ll be there, waiting.

– H”

Charlotte stared at the note, her heart pounding. She knew who “H” was, of course. But did he really know it was her? She folded the parchment and tucked it into her robe, her mind made up. She’d go. She had to know.

---

That night, Charlotte slipped out of the castle, her heart hammering with each step toward the lake. The moon was high, casting a silver glow over the water. She saw him then, standing by the edge, his back to her. Harry.

For a moment, she hesitated, her nerves threatening to get the best of her. But then she remembered the words they’d shared, the connection that had grown between them, and she knew she had to go through with this.

“Harry,” she called out softly.

He turned, and their eyes met. For a second, neither of them moved, the air thick with everything unsaid. Then Harry smiled, that familiar, lopsided grin that made her feel like everything would be okay.

“So it’s you,” he said, stepping closer. “I had a feeling it might be.”

Charlotte let out a shaky laugh. “You’re not disappointed, are you?”

“Disappointed?” Harry shook his head, taking her hands in his. “Not even close. You’re the one I’ve been writing with, the one who’s been in my head, in my heart, all this time.”

“I can’t believe it was you,” Charlotte whispered, feeling the warmth of his hands. “I thought I was just dreaming.”

“Me too,” Harry said, his voice soft. “But this is real. We’re real.”

For a moment, they just stood there, hands intertwined, the night wrapping around them like a blanket. It felt like they were the only two people in the world.

Then, almost without thinking, Charlotte started to sing the last verse of the song they’d been writing together.

And you'll save all your

dirtiest jokes for me

And at every table, I'll save you

a seat, lover (Save you a seat)

Harry smiled, his voice joining hers as they sang the final lines together.

“Can I go where you go?

(Can I go where you go, baby?)

Can we always be this

close forever and ever?

And ah, take me out, and take

me home (Forever and ever)

You're my, my, my, my

Oh, you're my, my, my, my

Darling, you're my, my, my, my lover”

As the last note hung in the air, Harry leaned in, pressing his forehead against hers. “This is just the beginning,” he whispered, his breath warm against her skin.

Charlotte smiled, closing her eyes. “Yeah. It is.”

---

And so, what started as scribbles on a forgotten piece of parchment became something more—a song that brought two hearts together, a story that was only just beginning. For Charlotte and Harry, the song would always be theirs, a reminder of the night they found each other, and the love that had been there all along.

[riptidewaters]

heyyy first of all i love ur nate story! second of all, could u maybe do like a story about blair and chucks children but they also have a daughter. and basically she deals with the same issues they had so she's bulimic and a party girl, does coke etc. and they find out through gossip girl (someone else started it again) and have a talk w her. if you're comfortable with writing about such topics. if not could you maybe do like them meeting her new bf. there are like no stories about them as parents and i just think that they'd be so cute so i'd love to read it. <3

xoxo

Okay, first of all, I absolutely love the ideas! And will definitely be trying them!

XOXO, RiptideWaters

Part 3, Lipstick

Nate Archibald x fem! Reader (named)

What are you doing here? With Dan?’ Nate asked, eyebrows raised. Dan grabbed Charlotte’s hand, ‘We’re dating’ He announced, ‘We are?’ Charlotte asked, Dan gave her a look, ‘I-I mean, Yeah! We are!’ She corrected herself. ‘What?!’ Serena said, shock evident in her eyes and speech. ‘We broke up a month ago Dan! And you find one of my good friends to date?’. Dan rolled his eyes, ‘Exactly Serena. We broke up a month ago, and You are lip locking with someone else. I guess mistakes do repeat themselves, even bad ones.’ With that he grabbed Charlotte’s arm and led her away.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

‘What was that?’ Charlotte asked her ponytail smacking her back. ‘I don’t know! I guess I panicked!’ Dan said, running his hands through his disheveled hair. She sighed, ‘it’s ok, we didn’t plan any of that did we?’ ‘Anyways,’ Dan said, ‘What’s your history with Nate?, you mentioned something about liking him for a few years.’ Charlotte sighed, her shoulders slumping slightly. ‘It's a long story, but the short version is that I've had a crush on Nate for a while. We've been friends, but I've never had the courage to tell him how I feel.’ ‘Friends?’ Dan raised his eyebrow, ‘That’s interesting. Never thought Nate would be friends with someone other then the upper east side elite.’ Charlotte laughed, ‘Hey! He isn’t that bad you know. And I did go to Constance for a while and my father runs a successful Architectural firm, so never really felt out of place.’ She remarked, ‘I actually met Chuck first, while staying in his dad’s hotel, he’s the one who introduced me to Blair and then Serena and then eventually, I met Nate.’ Dan nodded, ‘Okay, but I find it hard to believe that Chuck didn’t…. You know, try to have sex with you?’ She laughed ‘Oh, believe me! He did! And I now find it hilarious that I didn’t even know until Blair told me that he was trying to!’ ‘And then, I deflected his advances and we formed a playful relationship.’ Dan raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "A playful friendship with Chuck Bass? That's quite a feat." Charlotte smiled wryly. "I've always been good at handling his charm and deflecting his advances. Besides, I think he respected my boundaries." Dan opened his mouth to respond, but Nate intervened.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

‘Charlotte? Are-are you really dating Dan?’ Nate asked his voice slightly trembling, ‘I-I am!’ She said, with sudden confidence and while grabbing Dan’s hand, ‘Oh…’ Nate’s voice trembled. He looked up and pointed towards the the house, ‘I’m gonna go, Catheri-someone’s waiting for me.’ Nate turned and walked away, leaving Charlotte and Dan standing there in an awkward silence. Charlotte bit her lip, feeling a mix of guilt and confusion. She hadn't expected Nate to react this way. After all, he had never shown any romantic interest in her before, and they had always been just friends.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Dan, on the other hand, was trying to process the unexpected turn of events. He hadn't planned on telling Serena that he and Charlotte were dating, but the situation had forced his hand. Now he found himself in the middle of a complicated love triangle involving his ex-girlfriend and his new girlfriend's longtime crush.As the night wore on, the tension between Charlotte, Dan, and the rest of the group was palpable. Serena couldn't help but feel hurt and confused by Dan's sudden relationship with her friend, and Nate was struggling to come to terms with the fact that Charlotte had moved on. Blair, always one to enjoy drama, was relishing in the chaos, and Chuck was observing the situation with his usual smirking indifference.The party continued, with guests mingling and gossiping about the unexpected developments. Charlotte tried her best to enjoy herself, but the awkwardness of the situation hung over her like a dark cloud. She couldn't help but steal glances at Nate from across the room, wondering if he would ever come to terms with her new relationship.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Meanwhile, Dan was torn between his lingering feelings for Serena and his growing connection with Charlotte. He had always been the outsider in the Upper East Side world, and now he found himself even more entangled in its web of secrets and scandals.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

As the night came to a close, and the guests began to depart, Charlotte couldn't shake the feeling that her return to Constance had brought more complications than she had ever anticipated. She knew that navigating the treacherous waters of Manhattan's elite would be challenging, but she had never expected it to be this complicated.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The days that followed were filled with more drama, as Charlotte tried to balance her friendship with Serena, her new relationship with Dan, and her lingering feelings for Nate. The dynamics of the group were shifting, and no one was quite sure how to handle it.And in the midst of it all, Chuck Bass was watching, waiting, and plotting in his typical enigmatic fashion. He had always been the puppet master of their little world, and he had no intention of letting go of the strings anytime soon.The stage was set for a tumultuous school year at Constance Billard and St. Jude's, with secrets, betrayals, and unexpected alliances waiting to unfold. The Upper East Side was about to become even more scandalous, and Charlotte Jackson was right in the center of it all.

Part 2, Lipstick

Nate Archibald x fem! reader (NAMED)

Charlotte was having a pretty awesome day, just having landed in her summer house in the Hamptons, she had a few hopes that she wanted to complete, including having Nate Archibald as her boyfriend. She got off the helicopter and was escorted to her room, flopping down on her soft bed she sighed dreaming of finally meeting her old friends and that one guy she had liked through 4 boyfriends and two years straight. Her phone buzzed with a text from Blair, ‘Hey! Did you reach yet? The party starts soon. Get here soon!’ She responded with ‘yeah! just landed right now I’ll be there in 15!’ Charlotte walked towards her closet and looked through her choices, finally deciding on a white satin dress with long bell leaves and crossed around the neck.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

She put her hair in a fancy ponytail and put on a fair amount of mascara and lip gloss. Charlotte looked in the mirror and smiled, walking out of the room she grabbed a pair of white Steve Madden boots and walked towards her white Corvette, sitting in it and driving off towards the party venue. She reached n about 20 minutes, Charlotte looked around for familiar faces, especially the one of Nathaniel Archibald. And when she finally did spot him......he was passionately kissing one of her good friends, Serena Van der Woodsen.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Charlotte stared at the couple with a gobsmacked expression, ‘Astonishing isn’t it?’ Charlotte turned around facing a smirking Charles, a.k.a. Chuck Bass standing behind her, ‘Chuck!’ she exclaimed, plastering a smile on her face and pulling the taller man in for a tight hug. Pulling away she smiled tightly, ‘It’s been so long! How are you?’, Chuck sighed, ‘I have been better, to be honest...’ he grabbed a bottle of champagne from the table beside them, ‘Care for a drink?’. Charlotte smiled, ‘You know I don’t...’ And that’s when the hurricane called Blair Waldorf made its debut.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Charlotte!’ Blair squealed, hugging her tightly, ‘You look gorgeous!’ She said. Charlotte grinned, ‘As do you!’. Blair finally noticed Chuck and looked at him in disgust, turning her attention back to Charlotte she smiled again, ‘How about we meet my new Boyfriend?’, ‘Oh! I would love to!’ Charlotte said, turning towards Chuck, ‘You coming?’. He smiled, ‘I’d rather not.’ She looked confused, her gaze travelling from Blair to Chuck ‘Oookkkk?’. Blair animatedly started to talk about what she had missed, pulling Charlotte‘s hand towards Marcus. Chuck sighed, staring at the bottle of champagne in his hand.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Stopping suddenly, Charlotte’s eyes fell on Blair’s Boyfriend, ‘Charlotte, Marcus, Marcus Charlotte!’ She introduced them, and Charlotte politely smiled at the couple, ‘Nice to meet you!’ She exclaimed, shaking his hand. Blair kissed Marcus, ‘Isn’t he gorgeous?’ She asked clutching his arm, ‘Also! He’s a lord!’ She said smiling even wider. Charlotte nodded, ‘Wait really? That’s awesome Blair!’. Her gaze travelled to Serena and Nate, now looking into each other’s eyes with love sick smiles. Charlotte felt tears starting to flood in her eyes, she muttered ‘I’m going to get a vitamin water’ and rushed away wiping the tears from her eyes.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

‘Shit! I’m so sorry!’ Charlotte looked up upon hearing the voice who had just bumped into her, she stood up, ‘Oh, it’s no problem! It was kind of my fault! I wasn’t really looking at where I was headed…’ The man smiled at her, ‘No, I’m pretty sure it was mine,’ He said, ‘I’m Dan -Dan Humphrey, speaking of, I haven’t really seen you here before, I’m kinda of proud to say that even though I hate these snobby people- I know each and every one of them.’ He proudly said, putting a faint smile on Charlotte’s face, ‘Wait-‘ his smile dropped, ‘Unless- are the daughter of one of these snobby rich people?’ She laughed looking at his white face, ‘No- no! I’m an old friend of Blair, Serena, Chuck and Nate’ her voice trembled while saying his name. Dan looked relieved, ‘Oh! Well I am-was Serena’s Boyfriend.’ Then he muttered under his breath, ‘I had come to win her back, until I saw her lip-locking with the blonde beauty.’ Charlotte sadly smiled, ‘Yeah- no I understand what you’re going through, I have liked Nate for 2 years straight.’ Dan looked surprised, ‘Really?, well it was kind of a shock to too them together and kissing to be honest.’ He remarked.

‘Dan? Charlotte?, What are you guys doing here and together?’ Serena walked up behind Dan, holding her dress up and looking completely puzzled. ‘Serena! It totally worked! Catherine just told me to meet her in the…’ Nate cheerfully started saying not noticing Charlotte and Dan staring at them open-mouthed, ‘Charlotte?’ And that’s when he noticed her, a look of confusion and surprise in his blue orbs.

“UGH! Get me the new Alexander Mcqueen Bag Dorota!” Blair Screeched at her loyal servant, the latter muttering a meek ‘Yes, Miss Blair’ and hurrying away. Blair Waldorf, the “mean girl” of Constance and self-proclaimed Queen of the Upper East Side was, according to her throwing the “hottest party” in the whole year. ‘Hey B!’ Serena Van der Woodsen, the “it girl” of New York waved to her best friend, running forward and hugging her tightly, ‘I am so happy that you came back from Europe!’ she declared. Blair scoffed while striking names off the invite list, ‘Well, after Chuck ditched me at the airport I decided to take a girl's trip and travel around Europe anyway!’, She put the list down and walked over to the massive tables full of entreès and delicately put one in her mouth, Serena following her, Blair continued, ‘Anyways, enough about my broken love life, what's the gossip I’ve been hearing on you and Nate?”. Serena looked panicked, “There’s absolutely nothing going on between us! I haven’t dated anyone the entire summer!’ She said proudly, Blair paused and looked at Serena, ‘Wait- S, are you telling me you’ve gotten zero action for the ENTIRE Summer?!’. Serena shrugged, ‘Maybe, well there was that one hot lifeguard-’, Blair looked excited, ‘And....?’, ‘I rejected him’. Blair’s face fell, ‘Seriously S?, I’m gone for one summer and-’. Serena shook her head, ‘Wait! Before you launch into one of your speeches, I've got a surprise for you!’, She sang happily, Blair raised her eyebrows, ‘And what might that be May I ask?’. Serena grinningly thrust a letter into her hand, ‘Read it!’ She said. Blair rolled her eyes,

Dear Serena,

I wasn’t sure if you would remember me, but it’s Charlotte, from junior year. I hope you do! Anyways I’m coming back to Constance this year! I could not be more excited to meet you all again! Maybe we could meet up a few days before school starts? Let me where you are. Well Adios for now! Do tell Blair, Nate and Chuck I said hi!(especially Nate)

Love,

Charlotte.

Blair’s eyes widened, ‘Charlotte, the Charlotte is coming back?’ She questioned excitedly, Serena nodded grinning brightly. ‘I already sent her the invite to your party, if that's cool with you? She said that she’ll come.’ Blair smiled, ‘Definitely!’ ‘Wait! Should we tell Nate?’. She asked Serena looking at the letter, ‘Maybe it should be a surprise.’ Blair nodded, starting a conversation about party favours.

‘I’ve been waiting for this all day.’ Nate muttered, biting her lip, ‘You sure Serena’s okay with covering for you? She was a little cold.’ Catherine said rubbing herself against Nate, ‘Oh she’s totally fine.’ he said closing his eyes and leaning in, ‘But you haven’t told her anything?’ Cathrine questioned pulling Nate for a chaste kiss, He shook his head, ‘All she knows is I’m seeing someone new...I’m not ready to introduce to anyone yet.’ She pulled away, pushing Nate behind and looking at him with a stern look in her eyes, ‘Or ever.’ He finished. ‘Look, she needed time to decompress from her breakup anyway,’ Nate kissed her, ‘Covering for me works for her too.’ A car whizzed by the one they were in, Catherine looked alarmed, ‘Let’s go back to my place before anyone spots us.’ Nate raised his eyebrows, ‘Your House?’ She grinned, nodding, ‘I thought we couldn’t.’ She smiled at him, ‘There’s always the guest house’. Nate chuckled pulling her in for another kiss.

‘Okay, how do I look?!’ Blair asked twirling around for Serena to see, She smiled ‘Gorgeous as always B.’ She remarked Blair turned around adjusting her iconic bejewelled headband, ‘How do you think She looks now?’ She asked Serena, ‘I don’t think she might have changed too much,’ Serena shrugged. ‘Probably’ Blair agreed. Looking in the mirror, ‘Excuse me?’ She asked a random saleswoman, ‘Can I get this in white?’, The woman nodded and walked towards the display to get it off the mannequin. ‘This dress is perfect for my party!’ She squealed excitedly clapping her hands. Serena smiled, ‘Now that you’re done can we go look for my dress?’, Blair grinned ‘I’m sure I can take out a few minutes of my valuable time to go look for your dress.’ She said, Serena laughed and grabbed Blair by her shoulders, ‘We are getting out now!’. With that the two girls walked out laughing.

The day of the white party was a complete disaster..... at least it was according to a certain Charles Bass, famously known as Chuck Bass. Blair had asked him if he loved her the day he had met James, Blair’s seemingly “perfect” boyfriend and he had stupidly kept his big mouth shut and made her cry. Showing up to the White party had been a pain in his arse, especially when he saw Blair making out with her new boyfriend who had supposedly gone to “Georgetown”. And then something worth the attention of Chuck Bass happened, He saw Charlotte Jackson, also known as the one who disappeared after Junior year, staring at Serena Van der Woodsen having a spit-swapping session with Nate Archibald. Chuck grabbed a glass of white wine off a tray smirking, ‘Well, that’s going to be fun...’ with that he sauntered off towards an awestruck Charlotte.
