Part 1. Chapter 16

- Well, Rufus. Maybe you finally did us to play? - Rufus smiled and picked up the guitar.

- Is it true I'm in such a state, so do not judge if the notes will not fall.

- Dad, we do not even understand - everyone laughed and took Rufus guitar ..

He played all the songs of our youth, all the fun and dancing, and I am nostalgic.

- Dad - Rufus came to Dan - come on, I'll play, but you Lily potantsuesh.

- Do you think he will entrust you with my guitar? - Jenny said, and everyone laughed

- Another question, Jenny - added Serena - what do you know how to play?

- I can only play a song papa - everyone laughed. - I'll try to sing, but do not judge me ahaha

- Rufus surprise gave the guitar to Dan and Dan sat down, and Rufus came up to me ..

- Dan started playing the most popular songs of the group. The one that Rufus has dedicated to me. "Everytime you walk away"

We Rufus looked at each other, smiled, and began to dance on the words "come back to me" Rufus stronger each time I hugged. It was a beautiful evening ..

Out of a family dinner ... all gone home. Before leaving, Charles told us that tomorrow we Rufus must come to him in a hotel, that would make the photo engraving for plaques on the most romantic couple. We spent all the elevator and young people left. Jenny Eric also went under the pretext that they wanted to see on the night of New York, as very bored of it.

- Well? - I smiled and looked at Rufus putting both hands on his neck - it seems that the evening was gorgeous.

- Yes. That was not enough. Tranquility and family warmth. - He put his hands on my waist and kissed her. - Are you going to sleep?

- Yes, but you need something to sign. Documents from Bass Industries. Listen to it, please document in the right drawer, and I'll go I'll go get changed ..

- Of course, dear - he smiled and went to the table, and I'm in the room.

- When I was dressed, Rufus walked into the room with some sort of piece of paper ..

- I requested the same documents - I smiled - What is it? - I wanted to go to Rufus, but he took a step back, and I stopped, and he began to read out loud ..

- "Hi. I'm writing this letter that you never read. I was so simple. I can tell you what I think, but I will not hurt you.

We are different. Even after these gody.Vse our cats - the mouse will bring up to no good. This recognizes William and Lisa, and children, too little longer. I think we had enough chances that this would have happened. "- He took a breath, looking at me. I already knew what would happen next, and only rubbed her forehead"

- Rufus is ... - but he continued to read

- "But the moment has come and it's time we let go of each - other. I know it's hard. So, I know that this letter, you will never see. I'll burn it immediately after writing it. I've heard that so, too, can communicate with people. But they say the dead. Somewhere, deep down, we're both dead. For a long time. We have nothing, as a couple. If you knew how I, seriously, admit it. Now we meet and I will break our relationship once and for all, because we separate ways. The different directions. Who of us has to go. Someone - has to stay in one city with children. Leave no other city, but it is advisable to fly on another continent that would be our secret meetings stopped once and for all. I believe you and Lisa have to leave. New York is my city, and here my whole life. I think I would not be able to throw everything for you. Because we He died long ago, but our meetings, as a body, still keep warm. But when we cool down and is no longer able to warm each other. This is important in life together. I think we still meet out of habit or because we are bored. No, really. I do not know what I am. I do not know, I think so actually inspire or just imagine it. Yes. I'm attracted to you, and I hate to see how you kiss another. It pains me to as much as possible. Every time one of us breaks another heart. Wounds heal, but the scars remain forever. Now I will write the last word "goodbye" and I will burn this piece of paper that you were not able to see it. I'll try to do everything that we have left right now. Our meeting in half an hour. I will burn all our photos. I do not know if I have enough of this courage. But I hope so.

Well, good-bye. Forever yours Lily van der Woodsen. "- After reading in the room froze silence .. And Rufus just looked at me blankly and I did not know what to answer him

- That is, we have long been dead as a couple? You will do everything to leave with me? I'm ready for you all, but you .. You're not ready, and has never been done! You know what the most brutal in this letter? That I love you, and you do not even know you love it! We meet out of habit. Excellent Miss van der Woodsen. Thank you for the evening. But I was taught that the bad habits you need to get rid of. That is why I'm leaving. - I just sat on the bed and could not understand what had happened. Everything was so well and suddenly everything was broken. I slipped the tears from his eyes, and I got to the room, looked after later, Rufus. After the elevator door closed behind him, I went to the bar for a drink. Taking a bottle and a glass sat on the steps and drank more than half a bottle .. I know that I'm not burned pictures, but I can not understand how it happened. How could I not burn this letter. I was sure that I burned it, after that meeting with Rufus .. I thought it pointless. I sat on the steps of an hour and a lift opened again, in the hope that it returned Rufus stood up the stairs. But it was Jenny and Eric.

- What happened? - I asked Jenny and Eric protested that I drink.

- Mom, you can not drink so much, you're crazy.

- No, not yet, I'm sane. Collect and goodnight - I gave Eric a bottle and a glass of Jenny .. and went to her bedroom ... From alcohol drunk, I fell asleep almost immediately and it was the most pleasant in the last few hours.
