I Love You

Are We Being Civilized?

Disclaimer: I only own Darcy, all other characters unless otherwise noted belong to someone else.

Darcy spotted Serena and Eric up ahead and ran toward them finally catching up.

"These rumors are getting to be ridiculous." Serena said.

"Oh, like the one where I'm Gossip Girl" Eric said.

"Wait. You're Gossip Girl" Darcy said.

"No" he said "Do you even read her?"

"I get the blast but I usually ignore them."
"D is used to tabloids."

"Press is press. Good or bad you're getting talked about"

Serena's phone rang and she quickly answered it.

"Hey Chuck...yes I'm fine. I haven't heard from her in two weeks. So if you'll stop calling me I can get rid of all my monsters.

Darcy waved bye and went on her way.

A little later that day she was rounding the corner of a building when she spotted the guy she believed was dating Jenny kissing some guy. She didn't have a problem with it being a guy she had a problem that he was cheating on Jenny. They guy walked away and she spotted Eric. She headed his direction.

"Eric" she yelled and he turned around.

"Hey Darc" he said awkwardly.

"If you wanna talk I'm here"

"About?"

"I saw you and J's boyfriend Asher."

"Darc"

"Don't Eric. I know what I saw and I probably wasn't the only one."

"Look..."

"I don't hate you Eric. That's your business I just wanted you to know that if you're in the closet you probably won't be for long. There were a lot of people around."

"Oh"

"Like I said. I'm here if you want to talk"

"Thanks Darc"

"It's what friends are for. You may be Serena's little brother to others but I see you as a friend"

"I'm afraid to tell her. Tell my mom"

"Well if you need help and someone to practice on I live a few doors down from Chuck's old suite"
"Thank you"

"I'll see you later"

"Yeah" he said.

Later that evening Darcy walked into Jenny's party. There were so many people. She personally knew a lot of people but she had no clue Jenny knew this many people.

"D" she heard Jenny shout and rush over with her two little groupies behind her.

"Darcy!" they said.

"Hey" she said with a fake smile. She wasn't their biggest fan.

"We weren't sure you were going to make it" one of them said.

"Why is that?"
"You're so Hollywood and well we aren't" the other one said as a guy with a tray of drinks came by and Darcy grabbed two.

"Well you see unlike you I'm human." She said and downed the first drink "And when a friend hosts a party then I'm there"

She walked away downing the other drink. She set them on a tray and grabbed another one. She walks further into the party and sees Asher and Blair talking.

"...lucky for you your friend is someone I care about or I would have used this against you and Jenny already. Too bad you don't care about him the same way."

"It's okay Blair I can handle this" Eric said.

"What's he doing here?" Asher asked.

"What is she doing here?" Jenny asked

"Are you gonna tell her or should I?" Eric asked.

"There's nothing to tell"

"Gossip Girl was right. He was kissing someone this morning. Me"

"He's totally lying. Tell them Jenny I was with you"

"Yeah Asher is right. He was with me. Eric is lying"

"That's funny because I swear it was your lips that were attached to Eric's" Darcy said and they all looked at her. She downed her drink and grabbed another.

"Go ahead and post it Blair" Eric said and walked out. Darcy behind him. She met up with him up front.

"You okay Eric?"

"Yeah, just a long night"

"I'm just assuming here that you told Lily and Serena. I mean you did just out yourself."
"Didn't have to?"

"I'm lost. Why is that?"

"Georgina did"

"What a bitch?!" Darcy said.

"After that I talked to Chuck and he really helped"

"I can say a lot of bad things about Chuck Bass but he is a good listener. Trust me." She smiled.

"He said the same about you" he said then walked away. She stood there for a little while when she felt someone stop right by there. She looked over and spotted Blair.

"You're a pretty good friend Blair" Darcy said. "You didn't have to do what you did"

"I know" she said "I guess so are you"

"Are we being civilized?"

"Don't get used to it"

"Wouldn't plan on it"

"Let's agree that Serena is our Neutral territory. That includes Eric"

"Agreed" Darcy said and they went their separate ways. Darcy got back to her room and collapsed on her bed. She was close to drifting to sleep when her phone rang. She picked up,

"Hello" she said unsure who was on the other end.

"Darcy its Blair"

"I know we had a moment..."

"Serena's missing, I need your help"

Darcy sat up.

"I'll be right over"
