Secret Keeper

Season 4 Epsiode 18

The Van Der Woodsen family is no stranger to the tabloids, but this time it appears the mother of all scandals surrounds the mother.

Layla stood next to Chuck watching the TV.

"Sources say that Lily Humphrey could be facing up to ten years in prison for forgery and obstruction of Lily Humphrey end up behind bars? The society queen allegedly forged her daughter's signature on an affidavit that sent an innocent man to jail for almost three victim, Ben Donovan, has been cleared of all charges, but it's unlikely Lily Humphrey will be so 's holed up in her penthouse apartment while her lawyers scramble to work out a are currently outside of the Van Der woodsens' Upper East Side residence" the newswomen reported.

Raina walked into the living room.

"I didn't realize you stayed." Chuck said to her.

"Good morning to you, too." Raina said and headed toward Nate's bedroom.

"Hey I'm going to head over there after I get Soph from my mother." Layla said.

"Layla" Chuck said dialing a number into his phone and holding it up to his ear "How's Lily holding up?... Lily thought it would be complicated enough without me but I think Layla is headed that way soon with Sophie...How are things with William?... On the topic of mistakes, do you know one I might have made to cause Blair to cut me off?"

Layla rolled her eyes at him.

"She wouldn't let me in her room...When she said she didn't want to talk to me, I didn't think she meant ever again." Chucks said then looked at Layla "Yeah she's standing here giving me that look...Yes that one...She's not seeing someone, is she?... Thanks for the heads-up...Give Lily my love."

He hung up and walked over to Layla.

"Are we having this fight again?" he asked.

"I know that you will always care about Blair but I for once want to be the girl that you are caring about. Chuck. I love you. I have ruined thing because of how much I love you"

"Like what?"

"A great friendship with a guy that understood a whole different side of me that I wanted to be"

"Your marriage to Carter ruined that"

"I'll see you later for that picture you want me to be in" Shes said grabbing her purse and walking out.

She hailed a cab and headed to Brooklyn. She hadn't been to the loft in forever and it felt like a good place to go.

"Knock knock" she said walking in on Eric and Dan.

"I'm surprised Serena didn't call you and ask you to be her backup." She heard Eric say.

"She did, but I figured I'd dodge that war. Hey, does William Carlos Williams go under "w" or "c"?"

"Okay, well This is the first time I've ever seen you pass up a chance to save Serena, and you're alphabetizing." Layla said walking over putting her bag on the table.

"Layla" Dan said.

"Whats going on Romeo?"

"I'm wondering what she's wondering. And we all know if anyone is dragging it out its our very own Layla" Eric said.

"You swear not to tell anyone or laugh?" Dan pleaded.

"Uh, I'll take your secret to my grave, but laughter is an uncontrollable bodily response." Eric said

"Yeah I cant promise the laughing thing"

"I kissed Blair Waldorf."

"Wow!" Layla said.
