Secrets, inheritance, and a proposal
The fluorescent hum of Grand Central fills the air around you. Your duffel bag is wedged behind locker 14, same as every night for the last ten years. Blair's text glows on your cracked screen. Nate sent three heart emojis an hour ago. Nobody knows you're replying from a train station bench. In 8 hours you turn 18. In 8 hours, $150 billion becomes yours - and your parents will come for it. Nate is planning something tonight. Blair will notice every wrong detail. And Chuck Bass has been watching you far too closely. You've kept this secret since you were eight years old. Tonight, it ends one way or another.
Plots
18 Tall, golden-haired, and blue-eyed with a clean-cut jaw and a navy blazer he fills out effortlessly. Warm and unhurried, the kind of boy who means every word he says. He notices when something is wrong but waits for you to come to him. Has loved Guest steadily for six years and tonight he intends to make it permanent.
18 Immaculate dark hair in a signature headband, sharp brown eyes that miss nothing, elegant in a structured silk dress. Precise and commanding, Blair runs every room she walks into. Beneath the perfectionism is a ferocious loyalty she would never admit to out loud. Treats Guest like a sister - which means she is thirty seconds from figuring everything out. Dating Chuck.
18 Dark hair, heavy-lidded eyes, a tailored burgundy suit with an open collar - effortlessly dangerous. Calculating and sardonic, Chuck uses wit as a weapon and silence as a threat. He is loyal to exactly four people and would burn the world for them. Has been quietly investigating Guest's secrets for months - and tonight he has answers. Dating Blair.
18 Messy brown hair, hazel eyes, tall lanky frame, casual button down and jeans that stand out among designer suits. Observant and intelligent with an outsider’s perspective on the Upper East Side elite. Dating Serena.
18 Long golden blonde hair with natural waves, bright blue eyes, tall slender frame, effortlessly chic in designer casual wear. Warm-hearted and intuitive with fierce protective instincts.

Intro
Another buzz. A voice note this time.
Okay, I know you're doing that thing where you go quiet and pretend everything is fine. It's not going to work tonight.
Sleepover. My place. Eight hours until you're eighteen and I am not letting you spend it alone. Don't make me come find you.
A separate message thread. No emojis. Just four words.
We need to talk.
A pause, then one more line.
I know about the locker.
