Another Logan Hunter party. Another chance for Scarlett to get out of the house instead of obsessing over medical textbooks and practice tests. Another chance to interact with one Jason Walker; not that he ever made that an easy task with all of his brooding. Still though, it did provide Scarlett with some time to simply admire him from afar without being caught. “You know, I’ve heard that if you stare into her eyes long enough, the universe will grant you three wishes.”

~*~*~

              Jason felt a smile tug at his lips at the sound of he voice. He’d be lying if he said he hadn’t noticed Scarlett the second he’d walked into the room. He was a moth and she was a flame, he couldn’t ignore her if he tried. And he had tried, he’d been dating, it was nothing serious but it allowed him to convince himself and everyone else that he could and would move on. Just not tonight.

“Does is still work if you ask for infinite wishes? Everyone knows that’s at least one of the things to wish for.”

                     Jason sometimes genuinely wondered why he kept coming to these Upper East Side parties. Sure, it was a chance to see people like Nick and Carter, and perhaps a certain Vandervort sister, but he found himself enjoying them less and less these days. At least the Hunters kept good scotch, he mused, swirling the amber liquid and ice in his glass as he looked at one of the large photos of Ceren displayed around the space. @tfrstarters

Jesse. It gave both everything and nothing away at the same time. To his credit, Jase hadn’t immediately started swinging punches and accusations. His brother had cleaned up his life a lot in the past couple of years, you know? Cool job, cool place. He seemed happy. But Jesse knew that he’d been avoiding him. If it weren’t for their mom and the power of the emoji, Jason would still be dodging him fifty years down the line.

Which was fair enough.

Had Jesse meant to keep this bombshell to himself? No. Well, not at first. He let himself get in his head about it, let the ‘hero complex’ take over and made the mistake of thinking he knew better. That he would be protecting his mom and Jason. What they didn’t know couldn’t hurt them, right? It made Sophia’s secrets hit that much harder too…

He had set down the sandwich he’d taken a bite out off. Man, this was gonna suck. Jesse looked at him briefly but then he looked away. Coward.

“Are you going to ask?”

~*~*~*~

Jason loved his little brother, he did. But Jesse had this annoying habit of assuming he knew what was best for other people, and not letting them decide for themselves. It something Jase knew he did with the best of intentions, but it had a noticeable pattern of backfiring.

Like when his brother had inadvertently broken up Dean and Rose. Jason had accidentally let that information slip to his brother, but he hadn’t expected Jesse to just keep it to himself and not confront them, although in hindsight he should have known that was exactly what his conflict avoidant brother would do.

And now here they were again, with Jesse keeping information to himself to avoid conflict, only for that information to come out and cause conflict anyway. Jason could already feel the telltale throb of a headache building up behind his eyes as he fought to keep his tone and expression neutral.

“Would you tell me the truth if I did?”

Had Jesse been avoiding his big brother since the bonfire bash (now there’s alotta b’s!)? Yes, yes he had. Of course he’d been preoccupied with Sophia- with his marriage- but that wasn’t the only reason. The thing was, it was true. Jesse had a run in with their infamous, elusive, father and he’d told him to scram. And then he’d kept it a secret. It had been foolish, of course it had, thinking it would never come to light.

It shouldn’t have happened like this though. Not because of frickin’ Gossip Girl.

The door opened to his mom’s house while he was just about to bite into a sandwich. There was nowhere to run. Jesse swallowed his pride along with the sandwich knowing this was gonna hurt when it came out again. Straight from the horse’s mouth.

“Hey, Jase.” @itsyaboy-jase​

The respite from Gossip Girl’s relentless pursuit of what she would probably call the truth had been good for Jason. He’d found a job through a friend of a friend’s brother managing a trendy boutique art gallery in SoHo the owner of which was currently planning to expand to other locations as business boomed thanks to the artists Jason had convinced to show their works with them, he had moved out of home again into what some would probably call a glorified shoe box in Mid Town. He’d even started dating again in an attempt to move on from Scarlett. Things had been going pretty well.

Until Logan’s annual Bonfire Bash ushered in the return of Gossip Girl and the news that his father had seen and spoken to his brother and Jesse hadn’t said a word. Jason knew his brother was staying with his mom, so he’d made every effort to avoid coming over, unsure how to feel about his brother lying to him.

But he was weak, at least when it came to his mom, as half a dozen pleading text messages with various sad faced emoji’s had finally broken him. So here he was, standing in the doorway of the family home, face to face with Jesse who if he wasn’t mistaken had just swallowed a bite of sandwich whole. He’d promised his mom he would be civil.

“Jesse.”

                          Hey, as long as you’re not offering “sex on the beach” to my wife, we’re all good. For the record though, mom would call you majorly cringe. You’d get unfollowed on Insta so fast. It’d be devastating.

                       Come on, I would never do that to you or Soph. Her sisters are still fair game though, right? [ His unrequited feelings for the eldest Vandervort sister aside, he could still flirt with them both. It didn’t have to mean anything, even if he wished it did. ] Ouch. Words hurt, bro. And mom would never.

[itsyaboy-jase]

Dad came back? And Jesse didn’t tell me?

[itsyaboy-jase]

[ walker-on-sunshine​ ]

               Does your mother know that you talk to other people like that, Jase?

                           No. And you’re not going to tell her, you little tattle tail.

I would rather just take the rum straight but I will take anything at this point.

                         Straight rum? Sure. The sex on the beach thing was just a drink suggestion slash joke and not me hitting on you by the way.

“Oh, um… I’ve never had either so I have no idea what kind of girl I am. Pretty sure I only know those are drinks because of Sapphire.” She paused briefly, “Hi Jason.”

                           “A first timer! Honestly, unless you’re allergic to pineapple or coconut, a piña coalda really goes with the vibe.” He grinned at her, his own slight beer buzz allowing him to relax slightly instead of being rendered speechless by her. “Hey, Scar. It’s good to see you.”

[itsyaboy-jase]

                        Can I interest you in a Piña Colada? Or are you more of a Sex on the Beach kind of person?

[ TEXT FROM UNKNOWN NUMBER ] Jason, Jason, Jason... You of all people can understand what it's like to make a life altering mistake, right? That's what your baby brother is doing now. It's for the best you derail his little mission. You know, like you derailed your chances of ever graduating from college.

vanessa-films :

Please don’t tell me that you’re going to ask to borrow my phone. Two people already have because someone broke theirs, or knocked it out their hand, or something? Anyway, pretty sure “Gossip Girl” hasn’t posted any crap today so…

                        It’s happening to you too? Here I was thinking that me and my phone were just very popular all of a sudden, way to crush my ego.

                               Alright so it does nothing for me but if I was anyone else, I’d totally be scared of your mom in meltdown mode. She’s the hashtag alpha. Ha! You should forsure get to pick and choose what that means TBH. I dunno, I could Google it real quick. Or! I could hit up my psychic, she could probs fix whatever’s going on here. Dude, right? I would straight up die. Look, if we can’t get you exorcised then we should at least grab a venti chai latte before hell begins.

                           Honestly I think the only people who are genuinely scared of her are the hospital interns- And so they should be. I really hope I get to pick and choose, but I think on some level you’re either like your parents or you just aren’t. Look, a psychic is never a bad idea in these dark times. Neither is a Venti Chai Latte.

                                  Except definitely Jade. And Opal actually but it’s not a secret that aunt Saph basically invented recklessness and inappropriateness at the dinner table. We only have to be 1% more responsible to get the credit for it. Oh my god, please. Just once I’d like some peace over the starters. [ is she pouting? absolutely! ] I’m gonna sign you up for some classes on how to sugar-coat for the sake of your cousin’s pride, thanks. Yes. Exactly like mom and dads generation Gossip Girl only surely not the same person.

                                    Definitely not a secret at all. The bar is so low but I’m not mad about it. With the exception of Mom’s personal bar, that’s a different story. Peaceful starters, [sighs dramatically] we can dream. [grins] Babe, admit it, you know I’m right. We can all see the heart eyes you two are giving each other. And as your cousin it’s my duty to call you out, seeing as our other relatives are slacking. Oh god, I hope not. They’d be old, and a grown adult messing with teenagers is just sad.

[itsyaboy-jase]

[ michelle2kings ]

Relax. Trust me, I don’t need your homework. I don’t even think we’re in the same classes, nor do I really know who you are.

                        Oh, [ frowns for a second trying to remember if they do have any classes together. ] no we’re not. Dahlia, right? I’m Harper, Harper Walker.

[itsyaboy-jase]

[ shinebrightlikea-sapphire ]

                          Oh yeah, I am actively out here now thinking about re-arranging my whole life thanks to that tone. You just channelled full-on Aunt Scar. You Scar’d me. Do you need to sit down or, I don’t know, have a drink or something? We need to undo this moment before I do something wild and start sounding like my dad.

                                We all know that tone does nothing. [laughs] I know I’ve always thought I wanted to be like mom but that was not what I meant. I think I need an exorcism but I don’t think we can fit that in before first period. Oh my god, that would be terrifying.

                Safe and smart move, my gal. The last thing we need is more to talk about over family dinner which, BTW, is getting more and more out of hand as the years go on. We might need a bigger dining room. Have I wha— Uh, what- -what are you even… Psh. First of all, I don’t pine. And second of all, no. Not that. I- It’s some silly “Gossip Girl” thing.

                                    Anyone in our family has to have a healthy amount of self preservation, right? Except maybe Jade. We need a much bigger dining room, and a handy-dandy list of banned topics definitely. You heard what I said. And you do pine and should do something about it. Wha- as in the Gossip Girl? Like mom and dads generation Gossip Girl?
