Jenny Humphrey had been through a little bit of a rough patch in the last year. She knew her Dad had been worried so she decided to get her act together throwing herself back into fashion design and getting a part time job. Not so much to ease her Dad's worries. She did it for herself so she could be free from being confined to the house. Unfortunately it hadn't quite worked out. When her Dad said he was pleased with her progress she had assumed she could stay in New York. He was pleased but he still didn't trust his little girl in the big city. So instead she had been shipped off to live with her Mom. She wouldn't have minded too much if her mother was still living near by. But she wasn't. Alison Humphrey had found love again after her first husband and moved off to Forks Washington. Jenny was moving to an entirely different state, away from her brother, her friends and from Nate Archibald.

Jenny sat perched on the end of her new bed half listening to her mom as she filled her in on all the things she would need to know. Stuff about how the oven worked and the washing machine. She fought hard not to roll her eyes. Her Mom had been gone for way too long. Jenny had learned how to take care of herself a long time ago. There was no way she could have gone to Constance with the Upper East Side eating nothing but waffles like the Humphrey men.

"I'm so glad you're here" her mother gushed excitedly. "Bob will be home soon I can't wait for you to meet him"

"Yeah sure sounds great mom" Jenny smiled back. "So would it be ok if I went to look around?"

"I'm not so sure" Alyson said her eyebrows creasing slightly "It's your first day here I don't want you doing too much before school tomorrow it's going to be a lot to cope with"

"Mom I'll be fine, I've been to school before, and I'm sure I can handle a town this small" Jenny reassured her.

She knew it wouldn't work though. Rufus had probably already informed her mom all the about stealing, lies and drug dealing boyfriends. She'd be cooped up again with nowhere to go.

"It's not that I don't trust you" Alyson added quickly "I know you're a good girl Jenny, your father just wasn't there properly for you and neither was I"

Jenny rolled her pretty blue eyes. "It wasn't either of you, it was me but I'm past that now"

"I know" her mother smiled "And tomorrow I've invited the neighbours round to meet you"

"Are you trying to embarrass me on my first day here?" Jenny asked "Can't you wait a little while before turning into Dad"

"Jenny!" Alyson warned

"Right ok I'm sorry, maybe I'm just tired and need some sleep" Jenny said trying to sooth her mother before she could start "Like you said big day tomorrow."

Alyson looked at her daughter and smiled. It wasn't a happy smile though. Jenny smiled back a very similar smile as her mother closed the door. She lay back on the bed and sighed. This was defiantly a new low. Not only was she banished from Manhattan she had gained another unbearable parent when one had been bad enough. Jenny was most defiantly annoyed at Rufus.
