Chapter 22 All Fall Down

Chapter 22 ~ All Fall Down

In the two days that followed, Blair and Tony were more visible that ever. We really wanted to piss off Phoebe until she unravels and makes the biggest scene of her life at the charity event which is now a few hours away.

From Rory's sources, Phoebe has her eyes trained on Blair. We all know she is just waiting for the right time to get even. Their showdown at the bistro was viewed a thousand times from the gossip site. The uploader entitled it 'Bam! Bitch Went Down'. The mysterious uploader is actually Rory. Obviously, the bitch is not yet down. She is up and about, plotting her revenge.

Of course, Phoebe thought I uploaded the video. I was her number one adversary (until Blair came along and marinated her with orange juice) and I was also at the bistro during their take down. I had to issue a denial through the gossip site. 

One of the publishers actually sought me out to get my side of the story regarding the scene at the bistro and to confirm if I am dating Caleb Richardson of the Noise Detour band. I felt like a celebrity of sorts. With a tinge of sadness, I did not confirm nor deny my relationship with Caleb. I don't really know where we stand. Literally, I don't even know how I can still stand. I am paralysed without Caleb's presence.

I left messages for him every day and every night. All went unanswered. I get updates from Andy and Cate but that is it. I miss his voice and his presence in my life. They say he is back to being quiet and lonesome. The only person who can bring him out of his shell even for just a short while is his best friend Marcus. 

I wanted to be there to cheer him up but how can I do that if he refuses to listen to me. I am also the reason for his recent heartache. I cannot blame him. It was good while it lasted. If I cannot get him back, the least I can do is stop Phoebe from ruining his and his friends' dreams. 

Andy confirmed Liza is a spy from Phoebe's father's music company. I guess it is true what they say 'Like father, like daughter'. Phoebe is as scheming as her father while my father and I both have a penchant for dossiers. I thought I will need a filing cabinet for my dossiers but I already burned them all. 

Andy is now working with their manager Leo to feed Liza with bogus information. They will confront her at the charity event too. Leo got information that Mr. Mendell's artists will release a new song. They suspect this is the same music that was stolen from Andy.

I glanced at the clock, a few hours more until the take down begins. Team Blair Bitch has been briefed. All hands on deck. Ears and eyes are open. We are expecting Phoebe to unleash her fury at the event. We made sure she knows that Blair and Tony will be there and that this is her chance to get even. We just have to break her down first.

To my disbelief, she still has not figured out who Blair is. It is either she is in denial, she is totally clueless or she is playing us. Either way, we are prepared.

"Elle honey, please hand me the scissors..." My mother's voice broke my train of thoughts. I am helping her pack and set up her booth at the charity event. She is catering the desserts tonight. 

Since I will be helping her all night, Rory will run the Blair Bitch Project. He will do it for the love of his cousin Blair. This is their one chance to get even with Phoebe. I helped them in planning because I know how Phoebe will react at each situation they foresee. I am just crossing my fingers that the execution of our plans will be successful. I hope this is my final take down. Being mean is just so much hard work. Plotting takedowns and revenge is so not me. Not anymore...

I carefully placed cupcake after cupcake in boxes. We will transport all the food and then set them up onsite. I have to concentrate because one wrong move can mess up my mother's creations. Still, I cannot take my mind off the other task at hand. This afternoon's events will be a huge scandal. Everything will go downhill.
