I Love You

Not a Family Tradition

Darcy walked into the kitchen checking her phone every so often. Usually, she was excited for thanksgiving but after the last couple years it just made her sad.

"Morning beautiful" Chuck said kissing her but she turned, and he got her cheek. "You okay"

"Yeah...no. It's Thanksgiving and usually I'm all for it but once again my dad isn't here."

"Well, I know last year you walked out in the middle of Lily's so if you want, we can skip it and make our own traditions"

"No, she's family. I'll be fine. I promise." She said and he kissed her temple

"Hey, if you start getting anxious and want to leave, we will. I promise"

She turned to him and smiled.

"You are the best" she said then kissed him.

"There's my Ellis" he replied.

"Har har" she said.

"Also please don't break up with me today. I know it tends to be your breakup day" he said and hurried away from her.

"You are lucky I like you" she said and they left.

They arrived at the Van der Woodsen's

"Darcy you made it" Lily said.

"Yeah, my normal tradition didn't work out again." she said "So Bass convinced me to come here"

"Thank you Charles" Lily said kissing his cheek.

"What are you two doing here?" Blair asked entering.

"Hello Blair" Darcy said then walked away.

"Darcy hey" Rufus said.

"Good to see ya Rufus. Is um Jenny joining us"

"She won't make it" he said "your father's not invited"

"If he were in town. Trust me I wouldn't be here. We have traditions. Need help with the turkey?"

"You know how to cook a turkey?"

"I was actually born poor. Imagine that" Darcy said.

"There you are" Chuck said and guided her away "Lily wants to know if you've heard from your sister"

"No I haven't. Not since before the party" she said.

"Where could she be?"

"I could try calling her" Darcy said.

"Please would you. She'd answer for you" Lily said.

Darcy got out her phone and dialed Serena's number. No answer. At the same time they got a call from the hospital about Serena. They arrived at the hospital and waited. Chuck rubbed Darcy's back comforting her.

"I'm gonna call your dad" he said and kissed her forehead.

"Thank you" she said and she stood up and walked over to Blair as Dan came running in.

"Where is she? Is she alright? What happened?" Dan said.

"She overdosed in some cheap motel in Queens. Alone. Why didn't she come to me? I mean no matter how angry we were at each other, she knows. I don't know what I would do if anything happened to her."

"It will be okay Blair" Darcy said trying to comfort Blair.

"What did the doctors say?"

"Rufus and Lily are waiting to talk to them" Darcy said "Bass is also calling our father"
