EPISODE TWO

brielle pov :
today was the annual brunch for bart bass and my fathers foundation. it was the type of thing that i was expected to be at, i really didn't have a choice.

our house maid gloria, who my family has know for a long time was making me some tea before brunch. i decided to called serena to see how the rest of her night with dan went.

"so he waved?" i asked serena over the phone. "i wouldn't take him for a waver."

"no he was just trying to be funny."

"i don't take him for the that kind of funny type."

"or he hates me," serena said.

"no guy in the history of the world has even hated you."

"whatever it's probably for the best. the last thing in need in my life is a new guy. he was just so smart, though and funny."

"serena you like him!" i yelled over the phone.

"and really nice." we talked a little bit more about dan before serena brought up another topic. "hey, blair was so mean to you last night, what's going on?"

"um i'm not sure probably just being her bitchy self," i lied.

"talk to her you guys can work it out." she paused for a second. "how about before brunch?"

"yeah no, um i have to go shower," i said then i immediately hung up. i walked into my bathroom and when i was using the bathroom i saw something on the counter. it was a pregnancy test. i knew it wasn't mine. i immediately knew who's it was, the only other girl living here. i knew that neither stephanie or my dad was home so i went to the place that he would most likely be.

i went to chuck and his father's apartment, also located at the empire. i walked through the elevator doors, the first thing i saw was chuck and nate sitting at the bar.

"get out," was all chuck said. i knew where my dad was, i walked through the doors where they had meetings. i saw my dad and bart just having a casual conversation, most likely about the brunch.

"so when were you going to tell me?" i asked blankly.

"about what brielle?" he asked with a chuckle, i could tell he was trying to put up an act in front of bart.

"about how stephanie is pregnant," i said raising my voice.

"we were going to tell y—," he said.

"that seems like such a common theme ever since i got back 'we were going to tell you' i'm so sick of your shit." i got close to his face. "one year!" i screamed with tears in my face. "dad, mom died one year ago."

"i moved on , you should too. it's what she would have wanted. this isn't healthy," he said. i looked around the room to see bart standing there looking shocked. i turned around to see chuck with a small smirk on his face.

"you're right, i need to move on. that's why today will be the last day you can call me your daughter. i'm going to this stupid fucking brunch but after that i'm moving out," i lower my voice as i said that and i walked out. i moves past chuck. as i stood at the elevator, waiting for it to come up i see nate still at the bar. we make eye contact and he starts to get up out of his chair.

"brielle," i shook my head and mouthed 'no'. the elevator came and i left. as soon as i got home, i buried my face in my pillow and cried. some time went by and i heard a knock on the door. then someone opening it. it was gloria. i looked at her and stood up, i ran into her arms and we just hugged as i cried. after about a minute she spoke.
