I Love You

Parental Identity

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

After spending the holidays in sunny California she was back home and she was pretty excited to do be even though her trip was pretty adventurous. Who knew she could have so much fun and not drink?

*Flashback*

Darcy walked into an old bar she used to party at a lot in her days. Mostly because she knew the owner's son and the owner.

"Well look who the cat dragged in?" her friend TJ said.

"Hey" she replied sitting down.

"What brings you by?"

"I was in town thought I'd stop by for a drink"

"Is that so?" he said and poured her a shot and handed it over. She slid it back.

"Drink up" she smiled.

"It's for you"

"I'm not drinking anymore"

"Since when" he asked and she pulled out her chip.

"7 months now" she replied giving it to him.

"Wow what brought this on"

"Brooke and Austin were visiting me and I just couldn't handle it. My good friend and ex-boyfriend helped me out"
"So Hollywood Darcy took over New York Darcy?" she heard TJ's dad say.

"Yeah something like that" she said hugging the man.

"You are more and more like your mother everyday"

"Thank you"

"So an alcoholic. How did your dad handle that one?"

"Actually pretty well. We've been good since me moving that way"

"Good" TJ's dad said.

Her car pulled up in front of the Empire and she got out. Right as Chuck was getting out of his.

"Bass!" she shouted and he turned around.

"My favorite actress returns to town" he said hugging her.

"My favorite business man hard at work. I see you didn't burn the place down."

"Who would I roast marshmallows with if I did?"

"I missed you Bass" she said and kissed his cheek.

"You too Ellis" he replied.

"Where did you just come from?" she asked.

"I'm investigating something."

"Need a partner in crime?"

"You're avoiding something?"

"Bass."

"Talk to him."

"I did before I left."

"But now you're back."

"We're fine."

"I don't want to be the child/" he said using her words from a few years back.

"So not fair Bass." she laughed.

*Flashback*

Darcy and TJ walked on the pier near the bar eating ice cream.

"So Brooke said you got yourself a fancy boyfriend?"
