I Love You

Trust?

"You gave it to a random?"
"No." she said unsure of how she was gonna phrase this. "Okay so my friend whose father passed away. He came to see me the night after the funeral because everyone was treating him differently but I understood what he was going through. He kissed me. I didn't stop him, nor did I stop what came next."

"You like him?"
"No, he's just my friend. Someone I never thought I would be friends with."

"You're confused because you don't know why you could sleep with him but not a guy you like."

"Yeah"

"Trust." She said.

"Trust?"

"Do you trust this guy?" Brooke asked and Darcy thought about it. Yeah she guess she did. She could tell him anything.

"Yeah" she finally replied.

"That's why. You trust him enough to let him go there. You couldn't say the L word back not only because you can't say it but because you also didn't feel it"

"Trust" she said again.

Darcy spotted Jenny and Eric talking on the steps.

"Welcome back to Constance" she said to Jenny.

"Thanks Darc" Jenny replied back.

"Um Eric, have you seen Chuck?"

"No, but Uncle Jack went to go find him"

"Uncle Jack?"

"He's Bart's little brother"

"Charming. Will you let me know when you hear from him?"

"Yeah of course, I know you're worried about Chuck. You two are close"

"We are. I'll see you guys around" she said then walks away and into the school. She rounds a corner to see Dan and Serena making out.

"Darcy" Serena said pulling away from Dan.

"S hey. So um that doesn't look like Aaron."

"We broke up"

"Well that explains the many photos of you by yourself"

"Darcy" Dan said.

"Dan" she replied back doing their normal routine.

"So how was California?" Serena asked.

"Good, I just had a lot on my mind so it was good going back"

"Your mom?"

"Mostly but other things. Um I'm gonna let you two get back to that but um but S. Have you heard from Bass at all?"

"No, I was actually gonna ask you the same thing."

"Oh, well see you guys later" she said and walked away.

"Why are you so worried that you slept with this guy?" Brooke asked her.

"Well I don't...you know"

"Darc, it's the 21st century"

"True I guess"

"You're avoiding something"

"The Queen Bee"

"Wait Darcy Ellis isn't the queen"

"No I'm not. Her name is Blair and well..."
