A/N: So here I am again. I couldn't help, once more, trying to write a Jenny fic. Seems like she's the only one in GG I am capable of writing around. So I'll try it and then we'll see how it works.
This is set a while back from the last episode of Gossip Girl. About the time when Jenny was virtually homeless. She will be actually homeless in this fic by the way.
Hopes you like it, read and review! =)

6 PM. Crap. Jenny Humphrey looked at her watch and saw what time it was. For once she was hoping the morning would come. At least, at school she could be warm and eat something. And have a shower. She sighed.
Jenny never thought she'd be in this situation. She would never imagine she'd be one day looking forward to school, let alone PE. But it was her first class the next morning, and she really needed that shower.
She wandered along the streets of Brooklyn, huge bags in her hands and a backpack on her shoulders. She'd been like this for two days. At first, she thought it would be easy to leave home, but as time progressed and Agnes abandoned her, Jenny felt reality sinking in.
You left home for what, huh? What do you have now? She was mad at herself for the situation she was in. Actually you didn't even leave home. He kicked you out. And for what? She took everything from you! Your job, your family…she even burned those clothes!
Tears started to fall down. So fast and so furious, she had to put the bags down and sit on a bench nearby.
And now you're crying. Wasn't dirty hair and bad smell enough, now you wanna add up red eyes. She continued chatting with herself madly.
Half an hour after that, she managed to stop crying. She relaxed herself on the bench and closed her eyes. Eventually she almost fell asleep.
She stayed like that for about an hour and a half. Then she felt her stomach hurt.
You're hungry now? She started the chatting again. She looked in her pocket for money, but she only had a dollar in her pocket. A dollar? What will I buy with a dollar?
She looked at the watch again. It was 8 PM now. They must be having dinner by now. She remembered her dad's food. She could almost taste it in her mouth. It started to water.
OK, let's go get something to eat. She walked towards a hot dog stand. She scanned the price sheet. Thank God I'm in Brooklyn! Her eyes were brilliant as she thought of the hot dog she was going to eat. It was exactly a dollar.
It would take all her money for now, but she'll think about it later.
"Hey! What can I offer to such a pretty girl?" The hot dog guy asked her snapping her out of her thoughts.
"A hot dog" Jenny answered. She tried to smile, but her smile was weak.
"And to drink?"
"Nothing" Jenny answered quite coldly. She was a bit thirsty, but she would have to find another way to have a drink.
"Why not?" The salesman insisted. His smile was bright but he had noticed her hair and clothes. He wondered what had happened to her.
"I don't have enough money" Jenny felt herself blush. Wow. Now I am at my best! Why couldn't I just lie?
"Have at least water. It's on me and I won't take a no" The salesman handed her the hotdog and water.
"Thank you" Jenny took her food and gave the dollar to the man.
Jenny was about to turn her back on the man when she heard his voice.
"You should go home. Girls like you aren't meant to be on the streets at night."
She walked away, ignoring the man.
Home…she thought of home. Her brother, her bed, food….her father. Here she was. She could have everything she wanted at home.
She felt alone. She pulled her cell phone out of her left pocket and navigated through her phone's menus to the contact book.
The saw the names and then she realized there was no was no one to call. She had no friends, her family wouldn't talk to her…she was all alone. She set her phone back in her pocket.
She walked back to the bench where she'd been sitting. Luckily, it was still empty. She sat back on it and started eating her hot dog,
Hot dogs…this will be a great contribuition for my current good looks!She almost laughed at herself for thinking about her looks when she was sleeping at a garden bench.
She enjoyed the hot dog. At least is food. That's more than most people in the world have. She tried to convince herself, but her smile faded easily. She used to love hot dogs, but now it was all she had to eat, she missed her father's cooking.
Jenny took a pillow out of her backpack and set her head on it. She also put her legs up on the bench. Then, she curled up and closed her eyes.
It didn't take long for the tiring days to make her fall asleep.
The sun was too bright, Jenny thought as she was woken up by the warm sun of morning in Brooklyn.
God! Could this sun be brighter? She sat back on the bench and put the pillow back in her backpack.
She looked at the time. Seven-thirty. Just in time.
She got up and started walking. She needed to get ready for school or they wouldn't even allow her into Constance if she didn't have her uniform on.
Wow. Some days ago I was begging to skip school, now… She didn't finish that thought. Behind her, a voice was calling.
"Jenny Humphrey?"
Jenny turned to see a blonde woman getting out of a black limo.
"Lily?"
Shit! God, are you punishing me? Lily Bass, of all people, in Brooklyn, TODAY? Jenny felt like a kid caught sneaking to get a chocolate cake.
"Jenny what are you doing here this early? And what happened to your hair and clothes?" Lily looked somewhat…worried.
Doesn't she know what's up? I thought everyone knew. Especially her. Didn't dad tell her?
Jenny hoped the confusion didn't show on her face. In spite of that, she stuttered when she replied.
"Lily I…" She didn't know what to tell her.
"Yes?" Lily's look was somewhere between curious and inquisitive.
"Dad kicked me out. I've been living on the street." She decided to blurt it all out. She did it as fast as she could. Again, she blushed.
Lily Bass looked mortified.
A/N: So I'm not sure this was the right place to end this but I thought I'd leave the rest of this conversation for later.
Hopes you like it…and hope you review if you wanna know how this conversation ends! XD
Please do! =)
