Chapter Thirty Six - Serena Interferes

We arrived at Kellari, Serena got us a reservation to apologise for earlier. We saw them already sat at the table. Dan and I joined them."

"Sorry we're late, the subway was packed." Dan told them as he helped me with my coat. We sat down.

"Have you ordered?" Questioned. Serena and Nate looked at me weird  "What?"

"Nothing." she denied "Our drinks would be nice, maybe some bread."

"You haven't eaten bread since middle school." Blair retorted

"So, how are you two holding up? Good?" Nate wondered. Something weird was going on here.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Chuck answered. Serena and Nate glanced back and forth the she motioned her eyes to look behind us. I turned around, the woman from the picture had just come in. I looked at Blair.

"It's wasn't me." Blair denied holding her hands up.

"We called her"  Nate admitted.

"We think you're making a mistake." Serena added "One you'll regret for the rest of your life. Why not just listen?"

"That's not your decision to make, Serena!" I exclaimed

"Let's go." Dan and Blair told us.

"Blair, Dan. You know i'm right. no matter what they say it will eat away at him. Chuck, Rosie. She's here now and she wants to talk. Whatever she has to say, it's better than not knowing." I grabbed the water that was in the glass in front of me and there it at her.

"Fuck you." i sneered. I got up grabbing my things and went to leave Elizabeth turned around just as i got to her.

"Rosalie." she smiled

"Go fuck yourself." I stormed out and hailed a taxi, then got in and went to the VDW apartment

After Rose stormed out Dan turned to his friends with a scowl. He then glanced at Chuck was was looking at where Rosie had gone then back to his friends.

"Oh well, done. Bravo. Who knows where she's gonna go." Dan stood up and put his jacket on

"I'm just trying to help." Serena defended herself

"Help her into a bottle?" he retorted "She's happy, she's settled and she has a family. Rose told you to leave it alone, if she end's up in any of her bad habits I will never forgive you. now I'm going to find her." Dan left to try and catch her up but by the time he got outside, she was gone.

"Shit." he huffed

Back inside Chuck shook his head and sighed glancing at the waiting woman near the bar.

"Fine." Chuck agreed, standing up and heading over to talk to Elizabeth the stood near to the bar.

"My sister and I were brought here under false pretences." Chuck informed her straightening his jacket and fixing his tie.

"Your friend Serena told me that you know who i am." Elizabeth replied standing a little straighter

"Friend is a pretty loose term right now." Elizabeth looked down not know what to say.

"I don't know where to start."

"If it's all the same to you why don't we skip to the end of the story?" Chuck took out his check book, much to the surprise of those watching what he was doing.

"I'm sorry?"

"I know why you're here." Chuck replied writing out a check for the woman in front of him.

"Yes, to talk."

"Really? Well, we'll see how much you want to talk because I bet it's not as much as this." Elisabeth looked at the check

"Wow."

"No judgment no strings attached but one." he dropped the locket in front of her "My sister and I don't want to know your story. I want to know you'll leave and never come back. You stay away from me and Rosalie." Elizabeth picked up the locket

"This is really what you want?"

"I will tell you something for free. My sister is the only family that I care about. to see her this upset, I actively avoid it. And she had made some good points. So for both of us yes." Elizabeth nodded

"Okay." she agreed "You were right?" Elizabeth left and the remaining three went over.

"What happened."

"It was an expensive lunch, but worth it. By the way you were wrong. Now I'm going to help Humphrey find my sister."
