A/N: This is a rewrite of my fanfiction Secret Keeper from FanFiction.net

Hey, Upper East Siders, It's That Time Of Year Again, When The Mere Act Of Descending A Staircase Means You're A 's Right-Debutante Season.

Layla walked a few steps behind Nate and Chuck while they talked ahead of her. Her nose in her favorite book, 'Romeo and Juliet'. She was trying her best not to eavesdrop.

"Hey so, uh has Blair Mentioned who's escorting her?" Nate asked Chuck.

"Why? Are you having remorse sex fantasies about your ex?" Chuck asked.

"Sisters ears back here, don't want to hear that" Layla said

"No" Nate said.

"Don't eff with an effer. I know that look"

"No, man. It's just every time I see her lately somethings different. You know she's lighter, happier. She's just less Blair."

"She does have a certain glow about her doesn't she? Chuck smiled

"With my dad in rehab, its like the pressure is finally off me. I can see Blair clearly and its. I don't know man. I think I might miss her."

"You don't miss her." Chuck said.

"Well if I don't miss her, I do know someone who misses you." Nate said they both turn to look at Layla.

"Give us a minute" Chuck said stopping.

"No problem" Nate said then entered the building.

"I hate to ruin the book for you, but Romeo dies at the end"

Layla shut the book and turned to Chuck

"As does Juliet" she replied. "What do you want?" 

"A. I am so sorry for how I acted toward you at Blair's party" he said

"I already forgave you for that, I got over it quickly. It's not me to stay mad a Chuck Bass for so long."

"But you're mad about something?"

"I wish you would be honest with me."

"You saw." He said realizing why she was upset

"Why didn't you tell me? I'm not upset you slept with her because there isn't really anything but our unique friendship between us."

"Then why are you acting as if I cheated?" he asked

"I'm not. I just wish my best friend would have told me"

"You're Nate's sister"

"Chuck I am the best Secret keeper. I have kept all our Secrets and lots of other secrets."

"Fine. I screwed up and understand if you don't want me to be your escort."

"You've my plan for an escort since we were little. You're not getting out of it!"

"Darn I thought I found my escape route" Chuck said laughing with Layla. He pulled her in for a hug

"Best Friends again?" Layla asked

"Always"

They both walked inside and did their Cotillion rehearsal.

Chuck and Blair laid on her bed making out when Chuck spoke up.

"You looked pretty hot on Prince Theodore's arm today"
