"𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞 𝐬𝐥𝐞𝐞𝐩... You can meet Serena before the photoshoot." My mother smiled to me. "Why not Blair too?" I wondered softly with a smile. "She's coming with me to the shoot dear." She softly spoke tucking me in, I heard the soft sound of Blair snoring in the other room. "You haven't done this since I was little." I confessed. "You haven't been in bed by ten since you were little. You look beautiful tonight you know?" My mom complimented tucking my hair behind my ear.
"I spoke to Doctor Lewis again today, I've not been doing well with food recently." I confessed. "What's brought it on?" She asked as I sighed. "I know you don't wanna hear it but I miss daddy, even if he is in Paris with Roman and they're living their life." I admitted. "I miss him too. But he's moved on and we are too. It may take a while but you'll recover Alex." She assured me switching the light off.
"Do you really think I look beautiful?" I wondered. "I do indeed." Mom smiled walking off, I grabbed my pink sleep mask and put it over my eyes drifting off to sleep...

"𝐇𝐞𝐲 𝐁 𝐰𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐠𝐮𝐫𝐞𝐝 you're either sleeping or you must be on your way. But I can't wait to see you at the shoot we're gonna have so much fun! See you there B!" Serena and I's voicemail had been opened by Blair. "How do I look?" I asked Serena posing in my dress. "Excellent! How do I look?" She asked hand on hip in a goofy voice. "Beautiful Madame Van Der Woodsen!" I cheered. "Serena, Alex we need you!" Laurel shouted.

𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 both posing together for the photoshoot, neither of us thinking a thing of it. I presumed we were taking a couple of shots before Blair showed up. My hair was crimped as Serena's was frizzy we were like the perfect duo except missing Blair to fit for the perfect trio. "Fantastic one two three, come on girls!" The photographer said as we posed.
I looked over to see my sister, "Oh there she is! Blair what took you so long?" I called out as Serena waved. "Hey! Blair!" Serena shouted as we followed after my sister.
✯✯✯
"𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫! 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐮𝐩!" I called after my sister as Serena and I were hot on her tail. "Why are you so mad?" Serena asked. "Why am I so mad? Why aren't I furious!" My sister snapped at us both. "What are you talking about? Mom told me you was coming with her to the shoot." I replied. "I can't believe for one second I thought it would be different this time! I'm always in your shadows!" Blair spat.
"You thought what would be different? I don't understand." Serena furrowed her brows. "Blair let me explain--" I tried to tell my sister. "You couldn't deal with the spot light shining on me for once Serena! And you being completely naïve to believe such a thing!" Blair sneered. "What are you talking about? We was told the three of us were doing this together." Serena replied.
"Blair didn't you get our message?" I asked. "What about this morning then?" Blair questioned. "The call sheet..." I sighed. "When I wasn't in hair and makeup didn't that seem strange? When the dressing room only had your names on the door, did you think they just forgot?" My twin questioned once more.
"I was told you were running late, they asked me to do test shots first. Blair, they told me you wanted me here." Serena tried to excuse as I'd stayed quiet, to me I was only in the wrong for believing my mom. "And you really believed them?" Blair wondered. "To be fair that does seem strange that you didn't see through it." I stated. "Well you was here too." Serena spoke. "But I was meant to be here anyway." I shrugged. "You still should've noticed." Blair stated.
"Fuck this, when you both make up again call me- we only just became friends again don't either of you realize you're both in the wrong." I huffed walking off to see Dan there. "Well look who it is..." I smirked to him "Come with me." I told him.

"𝐈 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐞𝐚𝐯𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐫𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬 other than me, don't do it again. Especially not around my family." I sternly told the lonely boy. "How does that make any sense you're just being a hypocrite." He replied as I rolled my eyes. "Don't flatter yourself with smarts... No matter how much of a lower class man you are and that my- that my- that Chuck doesn't like you at all, you're still with Serena." I told him.
"I thought you were dating Nate?" He raised a brow. "I am... But Chuck and Anthony are my friends and neither of them like you all that much. If you hurt Serena or my sister in any single way, I will socially and psychically destroy you." I glared at him. "Okay I get it no hurting Serena or your sister." Dan replied. "Sorry to uh be so harsh but I love them..." I sighed. "I understand." He replied. "Least you showed up." I smiled. "What?" He asked. "Nothing." I shook it off before walking off.

𝐈 𝐦𝐚𝐝𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐰𝐚𝐲 to the roof with my sister, apparently Dan spoke to her and then I apologized, "I'm sorry, sometimes I feel like I need to prove myself a lot more than I should." I confessed. "I'm sorry too." Blair smiled as we got towards Dan and Serena, "Okay friday 8:00." Dan suggested. "I think we can agree to those terms right A?" Blair spoke. "Certainly." I smiled. "But you can't wear those shoes." My sister said. "Or that hair." I joked with a smile.
"Thank you, just don't hurt her." I whispered to Dan. "I never would." He assured me. "Blair, Alex." S chuckled. "Okay see you then." Serena spoke kissing him and hugging Dan. "Ew." Blair grimaced. "My eyes!" I gasped as he walked away. "Okay, you were right. I got that call and should've known you had nothing to do with it." Serena admitted. "And I should've not been so stupid." I said.
"I should've never pushed either of you to do this in the first place." S softly spoke. "Actually I'm glad you did. It ended up being a very important day for me." Blair replied to my shock. "I just thought it'd be more fun." I smirked. "I know, me too." S said as the three of us hugged. "Who says it still can't be?" I smirked as the three of us ran off.

𝐒𝐞𝐫𝐞𝐧𝐚, 𝐁𝐥𝐚𝐢𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈 took multiple of my mothers designed dresses off of the rack with a giggle. "Let's have our own fashion shoot." I smirked as we all laughed running off with piles of clothes in our hands. "Serves mom right." Blair nodded. "Because she's just so nice." I mocked. "Let's have fun!" Serena grinned.

𝐈 𝐩𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐧 𝐚 beautiful floral coral dress with a pink blush and matching eyeshadow. "We all look amazing!" Serena smiled. "I couldn't agree more." Blair smiled as I took a picture of me in my outfit whilst a cab drove us to the place we all thought was amazing to start our shoot. I texted Chuck:
Here's tht photo u wished for so badly. See u whenever-A
Looking hot... I'll see u sooner thn u think-C
"Thank you!" Blair smiled handing the man some cash. We all clambered out of the cab, "Right first B and A." Serena cheered snapping shots of us posing innocently against the cab. We then took photos of S and B near a beautiful tree, then photos of me near the bush, then Serena, then Blair. After that we all took pictures as a trio, like we're meant to be, kissing Blair's cheek hugging, all sorts of pretty yet crazy poses.
"Look the water fountain!" I pointed as we laughed, "Excuse me? Can you take a few photos of us please?" Serena asked. "Yeah course." The guy nodded taking snaps of the three of us posing by the water fountain. "I love you both!" I giggled. "I love you too!" B and S both laughed...

𝐀𝐟𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐨𝐭, 𝐈 relaxed in my room reading through vogue, "Please my legs surely look better than hers." I thought to myself. However a knock at the door interrupted my thoughts, "Mom! Go away!" I shouted. "It's not your mommy kitten..." Chuck smirked. "Oh sure come in." I shrugged placing the magazine on my nightstand. "You're knocking because..." I raised a brow. "Because I wanted to talk to you." Chuck spoke as I patted my bed for him to sit.
"So this is how it feels to be on your bed next to you." He smirked looking me up and down. "Back to the point." I smirked back. "Your boyfriend got conned, Carter gambled with him and tried to take his money, the money in his account has somehow gone." Chuck confessed. "Oh right... He'll find it back Nate always gets back on his feet." I replied, I wasn't as concerned as I probably should be.
Chuck and I were laid next to each other looking into one anothers eyes, "I missed your wit today." He told me, "Oh because that's all I'm good for, jokes." I scoffed. "You're much more." He admitted. "Please don't flatter me, then you're flattering yourself." I told him as Chuck tucked a strand of my curled hair behind my ear.
"Do you have more pictures..." He whispered in my ear causing goosebumps to surround my body. "Yes, doesn't mean you can have them." I spoke softly to him. "Why not kitten? You wound me." He smirked leaning closer towards me. "You know why." I warned him. "I know nothing kitten." Chuck whispered attempting to kiss me. I pushed him off of me, "What the hell Chuck!" I shouted.
"You were giving me signals, you were asking for it." Chuck retorted standing up as did I getting in his face. "I could never ever date, kiss, or sleep with a dirty rapist like you. You disgust me." I snarled. "I wanted a friend, not a fucking fuckbuddy. I have a boyfriend, your best friend. So get out." I ordered. "Once a slut always a slut." Chuck sneered as I slapped him hard, "Man whore get out of my penthouse." I glared. "Feisty little kitten, I love it when your claws come out." He smiled going to walk out.
"I love it when your dick doesn't get hard and your hands don't wander." I told him. "I am sorry...I thought it's what you wanted." He smirked. "I don't want you like that, not now..." I stated. "Oh well maybe one day kitten." He winked walking off...
