Je Suis Rose

Chapter Twenty Eight - My head hurts

"There wasn't a keg cracked within ten miles that Serena didn't know about. And then suddenly she started staying home. Reading in her room. The generous conclusion to draw would be that Serena was getting her act together and focusing on school." he told us

"No one thought that. They assumed she was sleeping with the handsome young English teacher."

"Was she?" Blair asked

"I always thought the best about Serena but..." he trailed off and I caught on

"But something made you believe it was true." he nodded at my statement

"I was having dinner with my aunt at the Hillbrook Inn in Poughkeepsie. As we were heading out I saw Serena checking in with Mr Donavan."

"Oh Lord." I breathed Dan's phone rang just as I want to get some things for the trip back. When I rejoined the Dan looked worried

"What's going on."

"Juliet's brother Ben saw Nate and told him Serena was in danger. We're going back home, talk to your Mom and try get this sorted out." We all got back into the car and headed home

"Okay I think I got it figured out, okay? Serena had an affair with her teacher because let's face it it's Serena, and what else is there do into Connecticut? Then she came to her sense and discarded him like last season Channel booties. Then he became a crazy stalker and Serena pressed charges." Blair ranted as I slipped my arms around Dan and kissed his cheek.

"Juliet find out the whole story and rationales most of what happened, convinces herself that Serena is in the wrong and comes up with a plan egged on by her brother to destroy Serena." I finish.

We arrived during the party. Serena was here and up next to Mom and Chuck

"Ah, Rose. You made it come on." Chuck smiled. I gave a apprehensive look towards my fiancee but made my way to stand next to my brother. I gave a small smile. Serena started to protest then broke off.

"Hi I'm Serena one of Lily's daughters. I wasn't going to be able to make it tonight because I was at the Ostroff Centre. Though if it was up to my mother she would have you believe I was at Canyon Ranch. That's because having a daughter in a mental hospital threatens her carefully protected image. She wants you all to think that she's the perfect host, mother and wife. But the truth is she's a selfish liar who'll destroy anyone who stand in her way." Serena then left for her room. Everyone broke off to talk and I headed back to Dan and Blair who stood with Nate.

"What's going on?" I asked

"I don't know. all I know is that Serena came here with Juliet." we saw Juliet head for the bedrooms and we followed. Blair cut in front of her when we got into Serna's room

"Don't take one step closer to her. How do you feel about prison food and daily strip serches? Better yet, Rosie you've been wanting to let you frustration out on the woman you kissed your fiancee."

"That's true." I comment

"B, Rosie, it's okay. I talked to Juliet. She's not the problem anymore. It's my Mom." Serena stopped us

"Well clearly she's drugged Serena again. Dan, write a list of everything Damien said he sold to her. Nate look at the list and tell us which drug causes you to trust psychopaths. Rosie restrain her and Eric call the police."

"Okay no body is calling the police. i know everything that Juliet did and nothing excuses it. But the Van der Woodsers are not putting anymore of her family behind bars."

"What about Bass' or Humphrey's or Archibalds or Waldorfs?" I question

"No one, Rosalie." she told me sternly I glower at her "Juliet, I'll find a way to get Ben out of prison, I promise. You're free to go now."
