Title: So Close

Summary: TV SHOW BASED: Kaelyn Ryan just lost her parents and as part of her mother's will she was place in the custody of her aunt Lily van der Woodson. Kaelyn is forced to get used to life in NY's Upper East Side and leave behind her life in LA. When warned about the antics of a certain Chuck Bass, Kaelyn is intrigued. Can Kaelyn tame this bad boy or will he stay in his old ways of parties and sex?

Chapter 1 –

Kaelyn looked out the window of the cab as it drove through the streets of New York City. So much had changed in the last time she had been there at only 10 years old. There was more color and it seemed a tad bit busier. Water slipped down the glass of the window and the patter of the raindrops could be heard in the roof of the cab. Kaelyn hugged her coat around her. The coat had belonged to her mother. A single tear fell from Kaelyn's right eye, she quickly took her index finger and wiped it away. The cab then pulled in front of a large majestic brown building.

"Palace Hotel." The driver said. "That'll be 50 bucks."

"Thank you." Kaelyn said as she handed the driver a 50. The driver got out of the cab before she opened the door and he opened the trunk where he pulled out 2 large suitcases. Kaelyn grabbed her purse and the smaller suitcase next to her before she exited the cab.

She stepped out into rainy New York and suddenly an umbrella was over hear head and next to her smiling was her aunt Lily. Lily van der Woodson was the sister of Kaelyn's mother Charlotte Ryan. Kaelyn was in New York to live permanently. She never thought she would ever be moving somewhere without her parents before 18, but this was under horrible circumstances. Two weeks prior Charlotte and her husband Kaelyn's father Tyler Ryan were in a horrible car crash and both died. In the Ryan family will it had been stated that if anything happened Kaelyn would live with Charlotte's older sister Lily and her two children Serena and Erik.

The crash had been a horrible one enough that there were no bodies to have a proper funeral service so there was a memorial service planned in New York where both Charlotte and Tyler's families resided. Kaelyn had been thrown from a loop one minute planning a girls day out with her mom to the next packing for New York because her mother was dead. She was only allowed to bring what she needed right away like clothes and important items, but she had to leave all her other things behind to be packed by the house staff.

"Kaelyn I'm so glad you arrived safely. Serena and Erik are waiting for you in the lobby. So let's get your things." Lily said.

Two Bellhops came and grabbed all of Kaelyn's bags. Lily and Kaelyn walked silently into the lobby of the hotel and at once Kaelyn was grabbed into a hug by her cousin Serena. Kaelyn had last seen her cousins when they came to LA two years prior for a week. Kaelyn and Serena had the best time together in that one week. Family members always teased them for being just like twins physically and mentally. When Serena had come to LA the girls would walk up the street and they were stopped by so many people assuming they were twins. Since Kaelyn had cut her blonde hair into a short bob.

"Kay!" Serena said excitedly. Kaelyn hugged her back and she spotted Erik behind Serena who waved.

"Rena, it's been so long." Kaelyn said happily hugging her cousin. She knew if there was anyone who would help her through this trying time it would be Serena who had always been her support for everything. Ever since both of the girls could use email they were talking at least twice a week. Every now and then a phone call, but they were always no email.

"Well let's get Kaelyn moved in and then we are off to dinner at the Waldorf's." Lily said.

Kaelyn and Serena chatted the entire time in the elevator and then to the suite were the van der Woodsons had been living. The bellhops arrived right after them with Kaelyn's bags.

"I still can't believe you cut your hair." Serena said as the girls pulled Kaelyn's bags into a room.

"I wanted something new." Kaelyn said.

"Girls we are going to be running late hurry." Lily called from the living room.

"Coming." The girls said in unison.

The family arrived at the Waldorf's Upper Eat Side apartment. Serena and Kaelyn walked with their arms linked into the apartment.

"Serena finally!" called a voice. Coming down the stairs was Blair Waldorf who stopped in her tracks as she spotted Kaelyn with Serena. "You must be Kaelyn." Blair said as she came down the stairs and hugged Kaelyn.

"Yes Blair, right?" Kaelyn questioned.

"The one and only." Blair said happily. "Well everyone is already in the dining room."

Everyone went into the dining room and took their seats. The girls sat at the end in intense conversation. Kaelyn heard all about the school and about a certain Gossip Girl that they talked about always had the latest on everyone in the UES.

After dinner they returned to the hotel. Serena and Kaelyn sat in the bar having martinis. Serena told Kaelyn more about the school and what there is to do in New York. The girls walked towards the elevator where they were stopped by Chuck Bass who looked Kaelyn up and down. Kaelyn flashed a simple smile as their eyes met.

"Serena who is the new friend?" Chuck asked.

"This is my cousin Kaelyn. She just moved in with us." Serena said.

"Chuck Bass, a real pleasure Kaelyn." He said as he took Kaelyn by the hand. Kaelyn felt shivers as his cool lips touched her hand. Kaelyn tried her best not to blush, but she could feel her face becoming extremely hot. He held on to her hand a few more seconds and their eyes met again before he released her hand.

"Nice to meet you." Kaelyn said.

"Well we are just heading up for bed, there is school in the morning." Serena said.

"Well good night ladies." Chuck said.

Serena and Kaelyn walked towards the elevator.

"He's cute." Kaelyn said.

"Cute, but that not the guy to mess around with." Serena simply said.

"He is a dog. He uses girls for sex and then just dumps them off. Too much of a bad boy for you." Serena said as they stopped into the elevator.

"Bad boys can be tamed." Kaelyn said with a smirk.

"Not that one." Serena said as she went to press the button for the number floor they were going to. Kaelyn looked out the door. She and Chuck made eye contact and she smiled. He blew her a kiss as the doors to the elevator closed.
