I walked into the Humphrey apartment. Dan was sitting at his desk, when I arrived.

"Daniel, just the friend I wanted to see." I chirped happy to see him.

"You seem a lot more chipper."

"I've slept, anyway. I have a favour to ask, well it's more of a Blair has a favour but she's just to proud." I state leaning against the desk.

"Sounds ominous."

"She is throwing a party to impress the guy she's now dating, that whole thing is complicated in itself. but the guy is british and seen as you know about 'football' she was hoping you would come and impress him on her behalf." I informed him

"Seriously?" he wondered much to his amazement.

"Very and Serena thinks it will be a good time to talk." I added

"About that." he hesitated

"Let me guess between talking to me this morning and now. It got complicated." I lean back in the chair and cross my legs.

"Yeah, kind of." I shook my head

"I don't even want to know what is going on between you and my step sister. Will you at least come to the party though?" I hoped, as much as I didn't approve of what Blair was doing. I didn't want her to fall flat on her face.

"Sure." he agreed

"You're the best!"

----------

I was stood with Serena at Blair's party. I was so bored, I barely knew anyone and it was just dull. Duller than a normal function."

"As much as I love our best friend, when would be an acceptable time to bow out early?" I asked her

"Rosie." she scolded me

"I know, it's mean but. You can't tell me you're taking this seriously. A guy she met just over a week ago, a guy that she was going to dump because her served the purpose of annoying my brother. Now she's throwing classy parties." I continue

"She has a dream."

"Duh, a dream not reality. As much as it creeped me out in the beginning, I now actually see that they're actually a match made in hell, in the good sense of course. But come on. don't you think it's our duties as best friends to snap her out of it?" I thought

"Shhh." Blair came over

"Blair, who are these people?" Serena questioned looking around at the random faces of the crowd.

"Dorota invited them." she answered the blonde sighing at how most likely crap this party is and how much of a bad idea it was and all for a guy.

"It feels like a sims party. Just saying." I shrugged. Blair glared at me then we saw Serena's face change, we look back and saw the reason why. Dan was here. Blair went over and dragged him over

"Dan, come and meet the lord."

"Okay. Hello, Lord. I'm Dan Humphrey." Dan offered his had out and Marcus took it.

"Marcus Beeton. Nice to meet you, Dan. Do you know Serena?" They shook hands. i covered my mouth. Do say anything, bite your tongue

"I do."

"He does." Blair added

"And Rosalie." I nodded awkwardly. I just had a bunch of unhelpful things swirling around in my head and i really wanted to blurt them out but I was supposed to be on my best behaviour in front of Marcus.

"Dan is a football fanatic. He's a huge Chelsea fan." Blair tried to break Dan and Serena's gaze

"Oh me too. i just love the Balenziaga store." I covered my face. Not laughing not remarking. Don't say...nope I can't.

"I can't. I can't. I'm trying to behave but argh. The Chelsea, Blair is referring to is the Football club, duh. Dan and Serena used to date but their not anymore because she's a huge secret keeper. they had an awkward moment where they both still have feeling for each other and they had a beech moment. Now it's complicated. This party is something like out of the sims and I really really need to shut up now." I turned on my heel and walked away very fast.

Serena found me sat down nursing a iced tea. She sat across from me. I could feel the silent judgment radiating off her.

"Sorry for my word vomit back there. I couldn't help myself."

"No you were being a friend. A friend that actually knows that Marcus was talking about football." she replied and I looked up at her properly.

"Well that was only because it was recent information. I met a Brit during summer, he taught me a few things." I shrugged

"I can only imagine." we laughed "So Dan told you about the beach?"

"Cliff notes. ugh, I'm so embarrassed not just for me but for Blair as well." I groaned feeling the heat rise in my cheeks.

"Well, she's not doing so hot right now. I think she needs the best friend who's gonna be brutally honest and not sugar coat things. Chuck brought Marcus' step mother the Duchess and Blair was Blair." she informed me

"Oh the I don't know who you are so I'm making assumptions then make a complete fool?" she nodded

"Okay, I will make amends by helping. Where is she?" I wondered standing up ready to be a best friend.

"The roof." I nodded and made my way there. She was leaning against the railing, feeling sorry for herself.

"So, twin I heard you royally..."

"Don't start Rosie." she mumbled and I sighed standing next to her "This party is a complete bust. My whole live is a bust."

"Well it serves you right. You were scheming to convince Marcus you're someone you're not." I folded my arms shrugging.

"My intentions were good. I really do like him, I just.... As soon as I knew he liked me, I would've relaxed, dropped the plotting and devoted myself to being the best girlfriend ever."

"Right now I'm supposed to praise you but I'm not gonna. Blair you like the idea of him but that's not you. You're better than that, you can be the best girlfriend ever with someone who you should have to constantly prove it. Who you both accept. However if your insistent on being with Marcus just drop the bullshit, be yourself. If he or she can't accept that then dump the assholes."

"The Duchess made Waldorf rhyme with Spears. I may as well have gone command and held my party at Nyla's burger basket."

"At least there would have been burgers." I mumbled "Do you want me to go fight the bitch, you have a special licence. She doesn't." i pushed my self to stand properly.

"No, no. I will deal with the duchess. But you can be my back up." she stated

"Oh bitchy Blair is much more fun than scheming Blair. Okay. Let's go." She took my hand and we went back downstairs.

"Dorota have you seen the Duchess?" Blair questioned

"The Library." Blair nodded and we headed in that direction. We opened the doors but when we looked in there was no, Duchess in sight. As we were about to leave we heard moaning. The two of shared a look before heading back inside and looking around the corner.

"Shut the fuck up."

"Oh my F-ing god." Blair and I expressed. There on the floor heavily making out and close to going further was non other than Nate and who I presumed was the Duchess. The both stopped and started to fix themselves. Nate stood up putting his jacked back on.

"Well I don't have to explain myself to you." he aimed at Blair.

"No explanation necessary." she commented back. Nate went to leave and looked back at the cougar he was getting hot and heavy with.

"Catherine?"

"She'll be just one more minute if you don't mind. You can go now Rosie." Blair dismissed us.

"With pleasure." I shoved Nate outside into the hallways

"Nathaniel of all the...."

"Rosalie have you seen Blair or the Duchess?" Marcus asked

"Library." I smiled pointing behind me, he nodded and went in. My smile dropped "Your dumb. Like seriously."

"What, Chuck's done worse."

"That's because he's Chuck and I would expect that from him. Not you." I stopped "Do you know what, go ahead. I'm not your girlfriend or your keeper. Just know I expected more of you." I shook my head and headed for the elevator. I was going home.
