Today was a big deal for me. 

I was going to meet with my mom and Aiden to let her know my decision. 

I'm sitting at a cute little booth at Lux waiting for them to arrive. 

Dad was more than apprehensive about me getting involved with mother but at the end of the day Lucy convinced him that I'm an adult and that I have to do what's best for me. 

I was too lost in my thoughts to notice that they had arrived. 

"London, darling." mother says sliding into the booth. 

"Hi Aiden." I smile only acknowledging him. 

He smiles softly back. "Hey, London." 

"So you must be wondering what I have decided.... I'm willing to try to mend our relationship slowly but surely mother." I start. 

"Oh this is wonderful! You have no idea how much this means to me!" my mother rejoices.

 "Yeah, yeah. Please don't make me regret this." I plead. 

"I won't. I promise." she states. 

The three of us end up talking for about two hours just explaining how our lives have been the past few years. 

She is the first to leave. 

Aiden ends up staying a little bit longer to talk with me. 

"I hope you can forgive me for how we originally met and the fact that I kept the information that I'm your brother from you for all that time." he says. 

"No, I understand why you did what you did. Honestly it all makes so much sense now. I mean you've always been protective of me and have given me lots of good advice... you know like a brother would." I comment shrugging my shoulders. 

"I know it's gonna take some time but I'm glad that you can be here with me on this journey with our putting it nicely, batshit crazy mother." I laugh at his statement pulling him in for a hug.


That night I was with Serena and Blair trying to calm Blair down about impressing the royals at their event in a random empty hallway. 

Blair and myself have been all over the tabloids since Blair is officially dating Louis and I'm the first girl Harry has been spotted with since Raina.

 However, Harry and I haven't put any labels on what we are.

 We have just agreed that we are friends right now.

 "Blair, you need to stop worrying so much. You have all of these girls beat by a long shot." Serena encourages our friend. 

"Serena's right B. Relax, you don't need sports metaphors. You've been preparing for this your entire life. Now come on, let's go out there and show these people what a real princess looks like." I add on. 

"In this town, you are royalty." I continue. 

"Thank you, L and S. I couldn't do this without you both by my side." Blair smiles lightly at us. 

We walk back to the party going our separate ways. 

Harry comes back with a lemonade for me to drink but Chuck sweeps in out of nowhere, almost knocking the drink out of my hand in his attempt to grab my arm. 

"Chuck, let go." I mutter not wanting to make a scene. 

"I need to ask you something." he asks, clearly intoxicated.
