For the past hour I had been going around with a pictured of my brother. I was at another restaurant

"Hi are you the owner?" I ask a tall bulk man

"Yes." he answered "How can i help."

"I'm looking for my brother." I show him a picture of the two of us "My friend saw him around here this morning. He has an intimate relationship with alcohol so I figured I check the bars first."

"He doesn't drink here but he looks very much like my new waiter."

"Is he American, New York?" I asked hopefully.

"All I know is he came to Paris from, uh, Prague with my Niece." My smile turned brighter

"I think that might be him. If we are talking about the same person, he could be in a lot of trouble. It's vitally important that I find him, please."

"He doesn't do much talking, especially about himself. He did mention a sister though." he answered thoughtfully.

"That's me. Rose. Please, I've been very worried about him. If you have any idea where he is please tell me." I pleaded

"Okay." he told me the address

"Thank you, thank you so much." I looked up the route and it was only five minutes away. Once I got there I knocked on the door and waited. The door opened

"It really is you."

"Who's here?" A girl questioned and I peeked in "Rose?" she questioned

"You know me?" I ask "Sorry, I um. I didn't mean to bother you it's just I've been looking for Chuck."

"Henry who is she talking about?"

"Sorry you must have the wrong person." He shut the door in my face and I was completely stunned. Bitch did not just blank me. And he thought I would let this drop? Bass please I'm your twin sister. I waited outside, he would come out eventually. He did.

"I had a feeling you linger."He limped out

"Of course i am, my missing brother is found. Chuck stop." i grabbed his arm " Listen to me" he turned to face me.

"Today I had to identify a body that the police thought was you. I was terrified when I told that you'd been MIA for 3 months. Now tell me what the fuck happened or I swear to god. I will scream bloody murder and then you have nowhere to hide." He sighed

"I was robbed and shot when in Prague. When I woke up, Eva was there, she found me and patched me up. I realised I had a chance to be someone else. Not Chuck Bass. The only thing they didn't manage to get their hands on was a picture of you, which is why she know's your name. Rose Prince."

"I know what it's like to want to reinvent yourself. Just because people are mad at you it doesn't mean you disappear. What did you think was going to happen after I returned home to find everything out? That I would just give you up and let you go? You're my twin and you may do some pretty stupid stuff but I will never stop loving you. And you not being there is not acceptable. Mom and I were really worried about you."

"I'm sure the two of you will come to celebrate my absence. As for you, you would have gotten everything anyway."

"Except you! Do you not get that?" I grabbed his face and held it close to mine "My twin, my other half. If I lost you, you not the money or anything like that but you. I would have lost everything. No matter what happens you are my world and the only person who could every truly kill me."

"Don't say that." he pulled away and started to leave

"Do you remember when we were four? Dad hadn't come home for christmas and i was in tears. You pulled me close and promised me on your heart and soul that no matter what happened you would never leave me." I cried "After Dad died and you finally sobered up you promised me that again. That no matter how dark it got whether things worked out with Blair, you would never leave me."

"Rosie." he breathed. He pulled me into a hug "I swear I love you, but being Chuck Bass has brought more dark than your light. I need a fresh start." He kissed my cheek then limped away.

I had dried my eyes and walked back into the apartment where Serena and Blair were. They were laughing, that was until they saw me.

"Rosie, you've been crying." Blair came over and I stepped back

"You uh...you don't need to worry about Chuck, he's not stalking you." I folded my arms and looked down. "I'm gonna go pack." I walked away trying not to cry

"Rosie, Rosie what happened?" Serena caught up with me and I shook my head

"Mademoiselle Bass." a maid handed me an envelope. I opened it and saw the note

'I love you but I can't be him anymore'

He had given me his shares in everything he owned. I showed them to Serena.

"You have to fight for him. He needs you Rosie. Don't back down." She told me. I nodded

"Come on." We made break for it and high tailed it to his apartment. When I got there, the place was bare.

"Call Blair. I need back up." she nodded and I looked around on the counter was a single Rose. I packed it up.

"Blair, call me back. When Rose told you not to worry about Chuck, she was wrong." I turned to her. I took my phone out and called her

"Blair, please pick up. I really need you right now. Now more than ever." I left her a message then ended the call. just as another came through

"Finally." I answered 

"Mademoiselle Bass, It's Inspector Chevalier."

"Inspector of course. How can I help?" I asked

"Can you come down to the station there has been a further development. We've found something else."

"Of course I will be right there"
