Greetings followers, Gossip Girl here. Your one and only, period. There are obvious upsides to being the children of the world's most influential people, but the biggest? The luxury of choice. While the majority of the world has little to no say in what they can and cannot do...
"You know I don't mind helping with whatever you need," Rocky said kindly as she walked into Max's kitchen, Audrey was having a really hard time so we all were helping out, Max and I had been put on breakfast duty
"I know, I know, but I want it to come from us," Max told her while he whisked the eggs, I chopped up some chives next to him, it was still a little awkward and I wasn't sure if I had totally forgiven him yet. His phone lit up and I glanced at it quickly, it was from Rafa.
"Cat?" Max looked up from his eggs
"Hmm?" I mumbled still chopping, I knew what he was going to say, and to be completely honest I wasn't sure if I was ready to talk about it let alone forgive
"I'm sorry," he said and I looked up, it would have been rude not to "I wasn't myself and how I acted was beyond me, you were right, I was super lost and I took it out on you and Aki, I'm so sorry Cat"
I sighed and bit my lip softly I had no idea what to say "Max, I-I don't know if I can forgive you right now, the things you did and said were extremely hurtful and I'll need time to get over it which means things can't go back to being exactly how they were before you went off the tracks"
"I didn't expect it to," Max told me "I just want to be friends again, even if it takes a month or a year" I nodded and finished chopping the chives, we were making a sort of flatbread for Audrey. Max walked over and wrapped his arms around me, I knew he felt really bad and I wanted to forgive him but what would that say about me? What if I forgave too quickly?
...The Elite get to choose whatever they want, whenever they want it, choice in where they live what they eat, and even who they speak to. Even choice on who they deign to spend their time with, But, there's one thing not even they get a say in, no one gets to choose their parents. And as pour Moi? consider me the au pair you never knew you needed, you can come cry in secret on my shoulder anytime and you'll want to 'cause no matter where you come from or who you are, family is anything but easy and no one survives it alone.

Max and I walked into the hospital about an hour later to hear Audrey freaking out "If it wasn't for me micromanaging her nepotistic lack of skills, then she would-"
"But Dr.Death only makes rounds at night, right?" Max interrupted, I gave Audrey a hug before going to help Max with the food
"Right, so Kiki will be fine while you take your AP lit this afternoon" Aki insisted
"But I'm not going-" Audrey began
"Stop helicopter daughtering" I said while Max and I gatherd food out of our picnic basket "Kiki will be ok, now eat some food and put on one of those ugly ass shirts because your current shirt is probably a biohazard at this point" Audrey grabbed one of the shirts and stormed away
"She's so on edge" Aki sighed "I don't know what else we can do"
"I know" Max took a fork "just try to help when she lets us" I slapped his hand when he went to eat the food
"Let Audrey have first bite" he rolled his eyes and placed the fork down, Max's phone buzzed and I looked over his shoulder at all the desperate messages from Rafa
"You still doing that?" Aki asked
"Hmm?" Max mumbled distractidly as he blocked Rafa's contact "no, no I uh maxed that game out and I'm not interested in a re-play" I was starving and I knew Max would get mad but whatever I grabbed the fork and took a big bite of the food "you were right about him any- what the hell? Cat, were the one who said to wait for Audrey to eat"
"I know but I couldn't help it, it smells so good and I'm starving" I whined as I took another bite "and I didn't want our amazing work to go to waste
"I do not like you" he said glaring at the fork in my hand "gimmie it" he lunged for the fork
"Nope, get your own" I said taking another bite, it was really good, I had to give myself credit
Spotted: Max Wolfe and Cat Baizen hitting it off once more, could Cat really have forgiven him so quickly or is this just a facade, they seem to be having fun while sharing a small breakfast but everyone knows all good things must come to an end.
"Well?" we turned around to see Audrey in the ugly striped shirt
"Even in off the rack, tens across the board" Max told her
"Hey" Aki hit him lightly "that was from a nice store"
"Can we please just get this over with" Audrey groaned walking past us, she ate none of what we made so it was fine that I had decided to eat it
"Am I allowed to taste was took us an hour and a half to make?" Max asked sarcastically
"Yes, yes" I rolled my eyes and he started digging into the food as we made our way back to the car where Audrey was waiting fidgeting with her hands nervously
When we got to school Audrey instantly sharted freaking out "I shouldn't have left, I don't trust these hospital goons to call me if something goes downhill, I'm so stressed out about this"
JC grabbed her shoulders "You are the first person they'll call in an emergency, I promise, you needed a break, sit, have an avocado puff, breathe"
"You wanna impress your dad?" Luna interrupted "A dozen stories and a slideshow per day"
"I'm just gonna check in one more time ok?" Audrey started to walk away
"Audrey" I snapped "that is your fourth call in less than an hour"
"I know, I just need to make sure that Kiki is ok" she exclaimed dilaing the hospital number, those people we going to get so annoyed at her. I sat down at one of the tables and waited, Max had promised to get me a coffee and I was waiting for him to get back from Starbucks, just then Rafa walked out and waited by the stairs, I guess he was waiting for Max too
"Is one of those for me?" he asked as Max came up the stairs carrying two coffees "Finaly caught you, if you want me to chase you again just let me know"
"Is that the line you use on all the boys?" Max asked
"So that's what this is about?" Rafa scoffed "the fact that I occasionally sleep with a senor or two" damn this guy was really messed up "all this coming from a seventeen year old for whom ringside at the Knicks takes on a whole other meaning?"
"That's different"
"You're right, you're different from them" Rafa smirked "you aren't a conquest" watching this was just sickening, I stood up and got my coffee from Max
"Thanks" I grinned and gave him a kiss on the cheek just to make Rafa jealous, it seemed to work because Rafa glared at me "lets go" I took Max's hand and led him away
"Thanks for getting me out of that"
"No problem"
