'Jenny' Nate hadn't spoken to her in what felt like years. He had no idea where she was or why she was there in the first place. What he did know was that without her, his life had become a mess. He had no direction, no ambitions. Everything he had left when she did, but it took 10 months for him to figure that out. He missed her blonde hair, her striking blue eyes, her beautiful smile, and her adorable laugh. He missed hanging out with her, he missed watching movies with her and watching her fall asleep half way through, he missed everything about her.

Why did he let her go? He knew how she felt about him, why didn't he realize he felt the same way earlier, when she was still around? Instead he went off with Serena, but she was in love with Dan and would always be in love with Dan no matter what. He had wasted his time with someone who would never love him, instead of being with someone who had always loved him and who he had always secretly loved. Now he could never get the chance to be with Jenny because she left, she moved, and didn't say goodbye. 'But she had no reason to say goodbye' Nate thought. He couldn't think about this anymore, he needed to get up and go to class. But as he was getting ready she was still all he could think about.

As he was walking to class, he saw a tall blonde figure across the street that looked exactly like Jenny. He was sure it was just his imagination; he wanted to see her so bad he was becoming delusional. But he had to make sure, he wasn't going to let her get away if it was her, not again. He ran across the busy street nearly getting hit by every car that drove by. The shrieks of the car breaks made the blonde stop, as Nate walked towards her it was apparent to him that it was not Jenny. "Of course it isn't her, what would she be doing here anyway?" He mumbled to himself.

"Are you okay?" the blonde said.

"I'm fine" Nate said clearly upset.

"Okay good, I'm-"Nate walked away before the blonde could finish her sentence. He didn't care who she was or what her name was, at that moment the only thing he cared about was Jenny.

After class he went back to the empire, he paced back and forth in his bedroom contemplating whether or not to call her. All he wanted to do was to call her, to hear her voice, to know she was okay. "I'm Nate Archibald, I shouldn't get so nervous by a phone call" he told himself. He stood there for another 15 minutes before finally dialing her number.

"Hello?" The sheer sound of her voice brought a smile to Nate's face.

"Hey Jenny, its Nate."

"Nate?" She was confused, why was Nate calling her? Why now? "Hey, w-what's up?"

"Uhhh nothing much, I just felt like we haven't talked in a while" Nate said slowly trying to chose the right words.

"Yeah, it's been a while." Jenny replied nervously. Even over the phone Nate had her flustered. "W-what did you want to talk about?"

"Just wanted to ask how you were doing….so how are you doing?" The smile had faded, now he was just nervous, very nervous.

"I'm….I'm good, yeah it's good here."

"Where is here, exactly?" He said trying not to sound weird or creepy.

"Hudson, I'm staying with my mom here. You know I'm not trying to sound rude here but why did you decide to call me now…and not 10 months ago?"

There was a long pause; he didn't know how to respond. He wanted to tell her that he couldn't live without her, that he missed her, and that he loved her but he didn't want to tell her over the phone, he needed to do it in person. Finally he said "Because"

"Nate because might've been a good answer 2 years ago but it's not good enough anymore. You said you'd be there for me no matter what, but where were you when I needed you? Where were you when my life was falling apart?" Her breathing became staggered, she was crying and it was breaking Nate's heart. She was right, where was he? Why wasn't he there when she needed him? "Why didn't you call all this time? Why was it that Chuck called before you? And why was it that he was there when I was looking for you? I needed you!" Jenny cried into the phone before she hung up.

Nate stood there stunned with what he just heard. What was she saying about Chuck and him being there? What happened between the two of them? He quickly redialed her number.

"What? What do you want now Nate!" She said as tears kept falling down.

"What happened with you and Chuck?" Nate asked. Jenny was silent. How did he not know? She sent out the GG blasts months ago, how did he not know yet? But if he didn't know, she didn't want to tell him. "Did you two…?" She knew what he meant when he said that, but she just couldn't tell him. "Jenny, how could you do that? And with Chuck?" He said with slight disgust in his voice. "Is that why you left?" he asked.

"Yeah" she responded quietly.

"Can you tell me why the hell you would, with Chuck?" Nate asked still disgusted with the thought of Chuck and Jenny together like that.

"It wasn't like I went there begging to have sex with him Nate!" she yelled into the phone with frustration.

"Then why did you do it with him?" Nate said trying to calm down.

"I was alone, and sad, and I just wanted someone to want me. And he was there, alone and sad and it just happened." There was another long pause before Jenny spoke again. "I was looking for you, I wanted to see you" she whispered before hanging up again.
