But she eventually got out of bed and left the house. She rufused to cry anymore not for anybody. So she walked tall said she was doing "just great" when really she wanted to crawl back into bed. Jenny wouldn't let herself cry anymore because of him. As far as she cared he could jump off a cliff. But Jenny didn't want revenge no she wanted space, a chance to move on with her life and get over Nate. She saw him the other day, walking out of a restraunt with a brunette girl on his arm. What was her name again Britany, Becky, Bree yeah that was it Bree Buckly. A girl that would fit better in his life than she ever could. Jenny smiled a perfect mask to hide her pain.
"Nate!" She yelled a fake excitment in her voice as she gave him a quick heart wrenching hug.
"Hey J whats up. I feel like I hardly see you anymore." He said smilling like nothing had ever happened bewteen them and he didn't stomp on her heart.
"Oh nothing really. Hey I'm Jenny." She said to Bree smilling as warmly as she could.
They talked for a little bit longer catching up on things they missed. Jenny even talked to Bree, she was a nice enough girl. Not bad enough to make Jenny hate her no matter how hard she wanted to. Then as they walked away she saw the way Nate held Bree's hand, brushed her hair away from her face. So tender, so loving. Thats when something hit Jenny.
He was gone. He had moved on from her and here she was holding on like some child to an insane dream that he was pinning over her. At that moment Jenny new what she had to do. What was good for both of them.
She had to leave.
So she applied to colleges all over the state and decided to go to the furthest one she got into. Thats why after graduation she was standing at the airport infront of the terminal about to leave with her whole family standing there crying there eyes out. Her dad was there crying more than she has ever seen him, her new stepmom Lily had been there crying out all her make up. Dan, Serena, Eric, even Chuck and Blaire were there. They all said goodbye and hugged and cried.
She assured them all that she would do great. She said things like "Don't worry dad California will be great." and "Berkley's a really great school and I'll visit for sure." And for the first time in a very long time Jenny felt hopeful and happy to start a new life. So she got on that plane and never looked back. Only forward to the happy sunshine of California and her new life.
