I was following the Vanderbuilts round for the lead up to the election. I was writing notes for the story I was gonna write for the NYU paper. William and Tripp had been kind enough to let Vanessa and I document in our own ways what was going on. We arrived at the Empire, I hugged my brother.
"Hello, sister. Having fun following around like a lost puppy?" Chuck wondered.
"Brother, having fun making sure your livelihood doesn't go down the drain?" I kissed his cheek "You going to show us your new toys?"
"Right this way. Nathaniel, come along." I took his arm and he led us on a tour.
"We patent the media system. Interactive high-def 3-D gaming. instant access to the worlds largest media library. And all in house food, spa services, just the touch of a button." He gestured around the Penthouse apartment.
"Blair's favourite part: real time surveillance playback. It's naughty."
"And both of you are vile." I say with a smile walking around
"Well, it certainly is a step up from the Columbia dorms." Nate commented
"Most Penthouses are, Nathaniel. It has two bedrooms. Feel free to crash anytime you like." he told his best friend. Tripp and Maureen arrived up along with Vanessa. I went to stand next to her as she filmed. Nate joined us.
"Hey, all this behind the scenes stuff is great. Thanks again for letting me film Tripps campaign." She thanked Nate.
"No problem. How are you getting along Rose?"
"If I'm not top of my class after what I write, then those Professors need their head checking." he chuckled William Vanderbilt joined us and shook hands with my brother.
"Rosalie, come here." I walked over to them.
"How is your story coming along?" Mr Vanderbuilt wondered
"Great, I just need to condense all this time down into an article, i think I might need your luck for that." they laughed
"Well, you have it. Both of your generosity will not be forgotten by me or my family. We're looking forward to tonight's event." Mr Vanderbuilt told us
"Thank's again, Chuck. Even if the night's end in defeat at least will have a good party." Tripp sounded genuine. That's what I liked about him, I've been around men practically my whole life and most of them had some sort of complex. Tripp was different
"Sweetie, don't talk like that" Maureen looped her arm through her husbands
"This morning's numbers aren't great. We're down where we should be up. Where we are up we're barely hanging on." Trip informed his wife
"That makes it exciting right?" Maureen clasped her hands trying to sound chirpy
"Yes and I can change when you least expect it." My phone started ringing. I checked it, Dan calling. I stepped away
"Hey, how are you?" I ask
"I'm doing okay, actually that's what i was going to ask you. I've barely see you?"
"I know, I know. I just I wanted to catch up since I haven't been here since the beginning and there is so much happening, that I never even knew about. But it's election day which mean win or lose there is a party if you wanna come?"
"Well since it's probably the only chance I will get seeing you for more than five minutes, sure." he lightly joked
"It's almost over after this I just got to write it up and hopefully be the most coolest person in the class." I joke.
"Alright I will see you tonight, Love you."
"I love you too"

Vanessa and I were talking to people about the upcoming election when were heard someone screaming for help. A man was in the river, Tripp ran over and jumped in saving the man and bringing him back to the dry surface.
Back at home I was showering and changing for the night's event I grabbed something to eat before writing a note for Dan when Serena called me.
"Hey S what's up?"
"You know how your really good at not taking no for an answer and just being generally intimidating?" she stated
"Yes." I answer
"The whole Patrick Olivia ruse didn't work out as planned and now I'm fake dating him." she told me what I already knew.
"I saw."
"Well KC is pushing for him to do this political thriller and he's being an ass about it. Think you could work your charm." she hoped
"Where am I heading?"
"The Empire. Room 2201." I write it down
"Okay I'll be there soon." I hailed a cab and did my research on Patrick, I had a few things I could twist to my advantage. I knocked on the door of the hotel room and Serena answered
"Where is he?" she pointed behind her and i walked in
"Oh is this a party?" he took a swig of some whiskey
"5th June 2005 you attended a party with some very unsavoury people. The news didn't get out because KC is good but she hasn't gone up against me. 6th August 2007 you were arrested no one knows why but I do. 3 Months ago A girl walks into a station and accuses you of harassment. you got off with a slap on the wrist. Now you have only one option and you better listen good." I took the bottle off him and handed it to Serena
"Until Serena or KC says so you're gonna be her little bitch, Serena says jump you say how high, or she makes a phone call to me and I will make one that not only destroys your career but will also make no woman in the entire world wanna go within a foot of you. Do we have an understanding? he gulped and nodded
"Fantastic. He's all yours" I tell my friend and walk out of the hotel room.
