Sinners and Saints

Chapter 44

It had been a busy morning since I had taken mom to the hospital for some treatment.

 I had given her some money for her last two treatments and for a plane ride home to visit Jeff and her other two kids once the effects of the treatment wore off. 

Aiden didn't want me to spend money on her saying that our relationship with her was enough but I couldn't help it. 

I had yet to tell dad and Lucy about how I had been giving mom money out of fear for them having the same reaction as Aiden. 

Harry had gone back to France for the weekend to check in on Louis. 

I still think Louis is a jerk but I understand that he and Harry have been best friends for years and that at the end of the day he was just protecting him like I was with Blair.

 Speaking of Blair I'm currently out with her and Chuck at a salon catching up on our lives the past few weeks. 

My classes are almost over and then I will officially be a graduate of Columbia University. 

I was able to graduate early and am extremely excited to begin my own company. 

Blair is unfortunately with Dan after she and Nate decided to finally let each other go for good.

 Honestly it makes no sense to me but I'm just trying to be a good friend so I'll support her.

 Chuck's been busy with all of his business endeavors.

"More wine?" Blair asks Chuck, already pouring some red wine into his cup. 

I continue to sip on some lemonade scrolling through my phone. 

Chuck pulls out his phone watching what appears to be some live stream video of...Diana and Serena talking. 

"I'm Chuck's mother." Diana says, causing me to look up from my own phone. 

Chuck throws his phone down harshly as Diana now walks into the salon? 

"Is it true?" he asks, making eye contact with her. 

"Yes Charles, it is." Diana reveals. 

"Don't" he snaps as Diana tries walking over to him. 

"Just stay right there." Chuck brings his hands up in a stopping motion. 

"You have been in New York for months, inviting me to parties, hiring my friends, hanging out in my apartment, in your underwear! Banging my best friend." Chuck's voice raises with each statement.

 "Please Chuck. I can explain." Diana begs. 

"I can't do this right now. Or ever. I can't" Chuck replies before leaving the salon. 

I struggle with whether to follow him since the last time his "mom" was in town we got into some serious arguments about my involvement. 

However, considering we were no longer dating and were just friends I'd imagine me coming to him as a friend might be okay.

 "Chuck, wait!" I call out as he's about to shut the door to his limo. 

"What's real?" he questions shrugging his shoulders. 

"I don't know but we can figure this out." I tell him. 

He grabs my hand escorting me into the limo "Let's go back to mine. We can watch a movie like old times. It will help me take my mind off of things." he suggests. 

Nodding my head I get into the limo.

Chuck slips into his room for a minute to grab us some blankets.
