Change

Victoria's pov.

I and Serena landed at JFK I decided to leave in a separate car and arrived at the hotel, of course, there was a lot of paparazzi outside waiting for me.
-
I got out of the car and they started yelling questions at me like...
"Victoria look over here"
"Victoria where is Carter Baizen?"
"Victoria where Serena?"
"Are you still the party girl you showed us last week?"
I look over thank god the doorman was there.
V - thank god your here Daniel can you help me get inside, please.
D - of course, miss Victoria.
He got my luggage and helped me inside.
V - thank you, Daniel, just wondering if my mother and grandmother here by any chance?
D - yes they have been waiting for you to arrive.
V - thanks again and please send my bags up later on today.
D - yes miss Victoria.
-
With that, I went to our floor and of course, my mother and grandma were waiting for me and not alone. I just couldn't believe that he decided to come home now instead of when I asked him 3 months ago. How long has he been here?
Hermione - Victoria your finally home.
Rose - welcome home darling.
V - I'm glad to be a home mother and how have you been grandma I missed you. I'm not trying to be rude but what is he doing here?
Hermione - Mija he -he cuts her off-
Hiram - I decided to come home Mija to surprise you and imagine my surprise when you weren't here to greet me.
Hermione - she was off on vacation with her friends the whole summer she didn't even tell me.
Hiram - not like you at all Mija.
V - I've changed. You have no idea. The question is, have you? Since I last saw you 3 months ago.
Hiram - not so much that I still don't want a kiss hello from my daughter.
I just stood there for a second I decided to greet him cause I don't want any trouble with daddy dearest. I kissed his cheek.
V - by the way, in case either of you was wondering, I'm moving out I can't be in the same place with you two and I know we're all really happy about that. I'm finally free.
-I walked away to pack the things I just need to get off here I need a major change.-
-
I went to my room I called for Gloria she came quickly and helped me.
G - miss Victoria are you sure that you want to move out. What about your grandmother and myself we will miss you miss Victoria. You can't leave.
V - don't worry Gloria you are going to move with me if not then who going to help me with everything that is my life.
G - are you serious miss Victoria?
V - yes Gloria I need you to be able to live on my own way from my parents.
G - if you don't mind me asking miss Victoria why are you moving?
V - enough with the questions Gloria just keep packing so we can leave already.
We finished packing everything I just noticed it was the next day I don't even know what time we passed out last night. I decided to go out and about to clear my head.
-
On my way out Daniel, the doorman stops me.
D - miss Victoria your bags are about to be sent up do you need anything else.
V - don't send them up I'm moving out tomorrow. So ttfn, Daniel.
D - oh wait miss. Victoria. You might want to take the side exit.
V - why?
I was wondering why he wants me to exit the other side and then it all makes sense he doesn't want me to bump into my father.
Hiram - yeah, why, Daniel? Because she might bump into me coming in from a morning run?
V - hello father.
Hiram- Mija. You won't be joining us for lunch, you come out of your room before we are about to start lunch. I can't remember the last time we had a meal together as a family.
V - I can. It was at the Dakota. The day you ran off after the fraud you committed.
Hiram - well, perhaps we should talk about that. Tonight at dinner. The four of us.
V - unfortunately, I have plans. To quote that New Yorker cartoon, how about never, daddy, is never good for you?
With that being said I left and I decided to meet up with Serena and Blair.
-
We decided to walk around the city on our way to the shops.
S - wait, you do what?
V - we go to Europe for three months, and you turn from Jane Austen to Anais Nin.
S - is there anything Chuck Bass can't get you to do?
B - it was my idea.
V - no. No, it wasn't b.
B - yeah. We had our honeymoon period, and it was perfect, but while other couples settle into a routine, we were determined to keep things interesting. So chuck plays the cheating bastard, and I play the scorned woman.
-I can't believe what I'm hearing.-
I even get to choose who to humiliate models, tourists, upper west siders,
S - I don't know if anybody ever told you this, but the honeymoon is supposed to end.
We both say. "It isn't real."
V - the real part is when you settle down with each other.
S - the 3-month milestone.
B - it is not a milestone. It's a gravestone. Settling down means deathless sex, more silence. We found a way to avoid that works for us.
V - omg b y'all need help it's going to end badly.
S - I agree with v come on b come to your senses.
-
We kept walking and Blair kept explaining that she wouldn't get hurt if they kept playing their game.
Then I noticed the paparazzi taking pictures of me and Serena.
S - ugh. I still have no idea why they keep following us Victoria.
B - oh, please. Spare me s and v. I get every edition of "hello!" And "ok!" There is. I know what y'all did this summer, and who. For you s Cristiano Ronaldo? I hope y'all got your shots before you traveled. Should I be worried about both of you?
S - no.
V - no, we just had a great time.
S - I just wish that they would leave me and v alone.
B - oh. Is that why you got your hair blown out and for you v you're wearing your favorite dress?
We all laugh and walked off.
-
After my hang out with s and b I decided to walk home on my own. As I'm almost home I see a group of paparazzi standing outside the building waiting for me.
I feel someone standing behind me and as I turn around I spot the lovely Carter Baizen.
C - where are you headed, beautiful?
V - Carter.
I try to walk away but he grabs my hand.
C - I was in the neighborhood. He laughs
V - no, you weren't.
C - gossip girl said you'd returned. I wanted to see you.
V - well, you've seen me. Now you can go.
C - we need to talk.
V - no, we don't.
- I was getting annoyed-
C - mm. I know what you're doing. You can't avoid what happened forever.
- he smiles at me. I have to leave already ahh I can't be seen with him right now. I need time to think what I want.-
V - watch me Car and please feel free to leave town.
-I did something I might regret but I don't care. I lose the strings to my dress and of course, I get the attention of the paparazzi just to annoy Carter.-

-

" Spotted - - Victoria Starling giving Carter Baizen the slip. We've all seen the selects. But what happened between them when TMZ was M.I.A? Something tells me the truth is just out of focus."

They followed me to the hotel I just need to get away from him.
-
I got home I went straight to my room and Gloria was packing the last things I will need.
V - Gloria I ran into Carter today.
G - oh miss Victoria you need to stay away from him.
V - I know Gloria but I love him and he has been there for me and I just can't let him go. You know that first love.
G - I thought you said Mr. Nate was first love.
V - omg Gloria.
Good thing someone walked in to stop this much not need conversation.
Hiram - hey. Victoria. May I speak to you?
V - daddy?
Hiram - Gloria May you excuse us.
V - no Gloria you stay here I and daddy dearest will go on a walk. Please continue packing.
G - yes miss Victoria.
-
With that being said we left to walk around town let's see what he has to talk about.
-
Hiram - every day I was on the run, I thought about getting back to you and your mother. And I knew it wouldn't be easy, I knew it would take time. Meet me halfway.
V - don't you think I want to, daddy? Don't you think I want everything to go back to the way it was? The three of us, walking into some fabulous gala or ball. You with your two favorite girls. But I can't. The blindfold's off, daddy I can't just put it back on. I'm sorry, but I should get back to Gloria and help her pack my things.
Hiram - yeah, hey, so were you, planning to leave already.
V - yes daddy.
Hiram - I can help you get a place if you want Victoria.
V - okay daddy thank you but I have to go back to Gloria.
-
I went back to my room and I found Gloria looking at some things that I left out that I was going to rid of later on tonight.
G - Before I get upset with you, please tell me what happened?
V - I'm sorry for lying Gloria I was in figi looking for my father like you can see already that he is back and I can't be here now. Yes I will be honest I partied a little bit I wasn't alone. I had Serena and Carter by my side the whole trip. The only reason I didn't tell you, Gloria, because I know that you will think that I went off the rails again.
G - did you though Victoria?
V - no Gloria you know that I wouldn't not anymore.
G - okay Mija so let's finish so you can be ready for tomorrow.
V - what's tomorrow?
G - the polo match that the Van Der Bilt is hosting. Yes, that means your going to be seeing a lot of Mr. Nate.
V - oh. He probably already over me.
G - how can someone get over you miss Victoria for example when you dated Mr. Chuck he loved you to death and yes I believe that he still has feelings for you.
V - oh please Gloria he with Blair now and for sure he is over me too. Enough about that let's get ready for bed.
-
I went straight to sleep and I can't wait to move out tomorrow after the polo match.
-
I hope you enjoyed!
