"More towers than trump more bucks than Bloomberg Bart Bass definitely made his mark on Manhattan the passing of a public figure can shake a whole town, but the real story is always the one happening in private away from the headlines at home" Gossip girl's post said.
Mia was at home lying in her bed thinking about last night hoping it was all a dream.
But the sad thing was it wasn't a dream as much as she wished it was.
As much as Mia wished she could stay in her room forever she knew she couldn't. She slowly got up looked in the mirror wiped her tears and got ready for the day she was already dreading.

Serena, Eric, and Mia walked into the dining room where they saw Celia. "Ah come eat you need your strength" Celia said.
"I'm not hungry" Serena said. "I'm saving room for later" Eric said. "I just lost my father, and you want me to eat" Mia asked. "In times of great uncertainty, it's even more important that we continue our daily rituals" Celia said.
"You haven't eaten a cheerio since you've been here" Serena told Celia. "And we know that's gin in your coffee cup" Eric said.
"My point exactly life must go on as it always has" Celia said and Serena sat down.
"How's mom" Serena asked. "I took her some coffee and some toast she didn't sleep very much last night" Celia said and Eric and Mia sat down. "I know the feeling" Mia said.
"Or any night since it happened" Serena said. "All she does is make lists and yell at people" Eric said.
"People mourn in their own ways" Celia said. "What happens tonight when it's all over and there's nothing left for her to do" Serena asked. "Maybe she'll move into the palace and hole up with Chuck" Eric said.
"Ah yes the bottomless minibar and the comfort of the twins in room service it's a scandal" Celia said.
"Can we not talk about my brother's sex life please" Mia asked. "People mourn in their own ways mother" Lily said coming over.
"I've been assured by the hotel that if Chuck isn't alive and well, well at least he's alive" Lily said.
"He has to be I can't lose him too" Mia said and Serena rubbed Mia's back. Lily saw the picture of Bart on the newspaper.
"Oh, that's a nice picture remind me to send a thank you note to the photo editor" Lily said. "Is that tuna" Lily asked going to the man serving tuna.
"Grandma please talk to her" Serena said. "We're doing comfort food nobody's comforted by a tuna tower" Serena told the man. "Fine" Celia said. "Darling where are you going" Celia asked Lily getting up.
"Oh, out uh for a walk to the park" Lily said. "Well, is that wise" Celia asked.
"Well, it's really hot in here with the cooking and the cooking I'll be, I'll be right back" Lily said and kissed Celia's cheek and left.

"I know I was just coming to check in on you and Mia and see how you two were" Dan said coming in the room. "I'm hanging in there" Mia said.
"I'm fine I'm just worried about my mom and Eric and Mia and Chuck" Serena said.
"That's uh that's nice I'm worried about you" Dan told Serena. "Thank you so much for being such a rock these past few days it's meant so much having you around" Serena said.
