Change
Summary: Takes place after 2x10 "It's a wonderful Lie"...Nate is with Vanessa and what about Jenny? Well she is making a change. Nate/Jenny
AN: Okay I am on holiday (in LA...woot woot) and I probably shouldn't be starting a story but ever since I saw the 2x10 ep I have been pissed off because I really liked Nate/Jenny and I actually liked Vanessa but when she was not with Nate and well hopefully you guys like this story.
Disclaimer: Sadly I don't own Gossip Girl or Chace Crawford or the songs in the story just the idea of the story :D
Chapter 1: Facing Reality
Cause I'm not your princess this ain't a fairytale...I'm gonna find someone somewhere who might actually treat me right- 'White Horse' Taylor Swift
Good Morning Upper East Siders remember the Snow Flake Ball, 2 weeks ago wasn't it fun? Feelings, truths all put on the line. Too bad it wasn't a happy ending for Lil J watching N going after V. According to my sources Lil J is coming back to Constance today well I guess the path of becoming a fashion designer has been put on hold. I wonder what students will think of her return in particular Nate Archibald.

Jenny adjusted her hand bag on her shoulders as she walked up the stairs towards the entrance of Constance with her older brother.
"You ready sis?" Dan asked
Jenny gulped as she looked up to her brother "Yeah been here before so it can't hurt right?"
Dan turned to face his sister "Even with Nate here?"
Jenny nodded "A week of sulking is enough I am just tired of being weak not only because of Nate which I know was my fault, but also from the beginning of trying to fit in and even if I don't have any friends I am actually okay with it because now that I am back I am just going to study, design and maybe find another interest"
Dan smiled proudly at his sister and did a side hug and whispered "I'm proud of you Jenny"
Jenny looked up to her brother and behind his shoulders she spotted Nate starting at her; causing shivers down her spine. Jenny smiled at Dan and nodded and said "I learn from the best"
Dan just laughed as he swung his arm around Jenny and said "I may be your brother but I am also your friend"
After school...
Jenny ran up to her music teacher. Mrs. Scott "Mrs. Scott!"
The mid 30's woman turned around to be faced with Jenny "Jenny, what may I do for you?"
"Ummm..." Jenny hesitated causing Mrs. Scott to chuckle, Jenny may have changed her looks but her attitude was still the same
"You want to use the music room" Mrs. Scott guessed
"Yeah if that is okay...to practice my song" Jenny smiled nervously
"Of course you are my best singer" Mrs. Scott said as she handed Jenny the keys
Jenny held the keys as she looked at her music teacher "I thought it was Penelope"
"No she thinks she is number one but she shows no emotion in her songs unlike you...you relate to the songs and I think you should pursue a career in singing"
Jenny chuckled "Thanks Mrs. Scott but at the moment I am not thinking of my future just the present"
"Okay well you know the drill of the keys so see you tomorrow Jenny" Mrs. Scott said and walked to the staff room
Five minutes later...
Jenny sat with the keyboard in front of her as she closed her eyes and took a deep breath and started to press the keys on the piano that she created to go with the song she had chosen for her project that she wrote the week she was sulking over he-who-shall-not-named...little did she know that he spotted her walking into the music room and followed her.
Nate had to see her, he knew what he said to her but it didn't mean he didn't still care for her. Nate walked cautiously into the music room to see the back of Jenny Humphrey as she began to sing her heart out
I see your face in my mind as I drive away,
Cause none of us thought it was gonna end that way.
People are people,
And sometimes we change our minds.
But it's killing me to see you go after all this time.
Mmm mmm mmm Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm Mmm mmm mmm Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Music starts playin' like the end of a sad movie,
It's the kinda ending you don't really wanna see.
Cause it's tragedy and it'll only bring you down,
Now I don't know what to be without you around.
And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, noone here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand,
And I can't,
Breathe, Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.
Never wanted this, never wanna see you hurt.
Every little bump in the road I tried to swerve. But people are people,
And sometimes it doesn't work out,
Nothing we say is gonna save us from the fall out.
And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, no one here to save me.
You're the only thing I know like the back of my hand,
And I can't,
Breathe, Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.
It's two a.m.
Feelin' like I just lost a friend.
Hope you know it's not easy, Easy for me.
It's two a.m.
Feelin' like I just lost a friend.
Hope you know this ain't easy,
Easy for me.
And we know it's never simple,
Never easy.
Never a clean break, noone here to save me.
Ohhh
I can't,
Breathe, Without you,
But I have to,
Breathe,
Without you,
But I have to.
breathe,
without you,
but i have to.
Sorry (oh) Sorry (mmm)
Sorry (eh eh) Sorry (mmm)
Sorry (eh eh) Sorry (mmm)
Sorry
With those last words of the song Jenny sighed and wiped the tears from her eyes
"Wow" a voice said startling Jenny the voice she had been avoiding. She quickly turned around to see Nate Archibald leaning against the wall
"Nate, what are you doing here?" Jenny asked nervously as she thought 'Get over him now show the strong Jenny Humphrey'
"Umm had soccer practice and heard you on my way to my locker" Nate lied
Jenny stood up and picked her bag up and the keys on the table and walked towards Nate and stood next to him as she smirked at him "Uh huh come up with a better lie because today is Monday and soccer practice after school is on Wednesday" after saying that Jenny walked out of the music room and spotted the janitor
"Hey Harry"
"Good afternoon Jen Jen back at Constance?" the old sweet janitor asked using the nickname he made up
"Yep couldn't stay away from you Clean Harry" Jenny joked as she handed the music room keys to him
"Oh I knew it you take care Jen Jen" Harry said as he noticed Nate behind Jenny
"I will say hi to the family" Jenny said as she turned around to walk past Nate towards her locker
"Jenny!" Nate yelled following her
"What Nate?!" Jenny turned around annoyed he was still here
Nate took a hold of Jenny's hand and asked "Can we talk?"
Jenny looked down as she felt the sparks flowing throughout her body, she quickly pulled her hand back and said "About what Nate! You are with Vanessa that is it end of story"
Nate tried to reach out for her but Jenny moved back "No Nate it is over between us I am moving on"
"From that song I don't think so because Jenny I lov..." Jenny's eyes widened as she put her hand over Nate's mouth and said
"No you don't okay you are with Vanessa that is it you stay with her and you put me out of your life"
Nate moved Jenny's hand and held it as their bodies were now so close as Jenny's heart started beating faster and faster as Nate said "What if I can't?"
Jenny closed her eyes...this was the moment she dreamt of for a whole week of Nate running back to her and she taking him back now it was really happening what was she to do?
'You are not what I thought you were' Nate's words flashed through Jenny's mind. Jenny smiled as she looked into Nate's ocean blue eyes
"Here I thought you were actually going to be faithful to Vanessa, but I guess you are not what I thought you were" Nate's eyes widened of the words he said to Jenny as he quickly let go of Jenny's hands as heer words stung him and with that Jenny walked away from Nate
Spotted Lil J or should I say J walking away from the Nate Archibald very pleased with herself, but N looks like someone had ripped his heart out and stomped on it could it be that J herself did this. She seems to be moving on thank goodness for the library to be open after school hours for Jackie091 to capture this image. Wonder what V will have to say to the expression of N?
