Chapter 2

Jenny realized she hadn't spoken to any of her family back home. She missed them…at least THEY still somewhat loved her. She decided to call Dan and ask how life was going.

"Hello?" a very weary voiced Dan answered.

"Hey Dan, this is Jenny…is everything alright? You seem exhausted?"

"Uh…I guess I'm okay."

"What's the matter? Nothing's wrong down there is it?"

There was a huge sigh from Dan before he replied "you haven't been reading Gossip Girl lately have you?"

"No and I'm glad. I don't want to hear about anymore bullshit that's happening. But I guess I should've been…what's going on?"

"Look, Jenny, things here are fucked up-more so then they have ever been. You're so lucky you're out of this mess. I envy you right now-"

"Dammit, Daniel, tell me what the hell's going on!"

Another sigh before Dan finally spoke, "All hell's breaking loose. Georgina came back; she's pregnant, and she claims its mine. What's more…." Dan paused. He didn't know if he should mention Chuck's death. Chuck was a touchy subject with Jenny, and he knew she was trying to forget about that night. But she was bound to find out sooner or later, so it mine as well be from him. "Chuck's dead, Jenny. He got shot trying to protect his engagement ring he was going to give to Blair. He didn't make it. Poor Lily's stressed on whose going to run the Empire Hotel and about the funeral."

"Chuck deserved it. I'm glad the asshole's dead. And as for you-"

"I hated him too, but nobody should have to die prematurely-especially like that. You've got to have some sympathy."

"No Dan, I don't. Now stop changing the subject. You and Georgina? What the hell were you thinking? I personally think she's lying. I mean, she is a slut. Did you tell dad?"

"Listen, I desperately want to believe it's not mine; but if it is, I'll man up and at least pay child support. I mean, I can't blame the kid for all this. I don't know what I was thinking, and no Dad doesn't know about this and we're going to keep it that way until humanly possible. I have to go, I have a funeral suit to find. I know you hated him Jen, and I KNOW what he did to you was wrong, but maybe it's a good excuse to come back to the city for a bit. I wanna see you and I need you. Life's so fucked up-I just want a little bit of normalcy in my life."

"Listen, Dan, I love you and dad and miss both of you but I just can't come back down there-especially for Chuck's funeral. My life is finally going back to normal and I don't want that to change. As for Georgina-sorry but you shouldn't have slept with her. End of story. Take a DNA test to make damn sure she's not just using you. I'll maybe be down there for Christmas. I'll talk to you soon. Bye."

Jenny couldn't believe all that was going on. She felt nauseous but she didn't know why. It couldn't be because she felt sorry for Chuck. What he did to her was wrong. It wasn't all her. Maybe it was because she was picturing her brother doing Georgina Sparks. Yuck. That was enough to make anyone's stomach churn. The wave of nausea passed, but unfortunately for Jenny this wouldn't be the end of it.

Blair was once again eating a pint of Crème Brulee (she was in France after all) Haagen Dazs ice cream. She could never be happy when Chuck Bass is-or was-involved in her life. She felt so alone. Not even Serena could make her feel any better. S was walking into the hotel room bringing Blair another pint of ice cream, but all of a sudden Blair felt sick. She rushed to the restroom, throwing up the Crème Brulee ice cream into the toilet. When she walked back out of the restroom, she was greeted by a hug.

"I know you're sad about Chuck. Why do you keep denying it?"

As much as Serena was right, she refused to admit it. "S, please. Basstard means nothing to me anymore. Yea, I'm sad that he died, but that's it. If you haven't noticed-I've been on date after date. I'm over him. "

"You're just trying to convince yourself more than me B. If you were truly over him, you wouldn't be eating tons of ice cream to the point of puking. How about you stop with it? The funerals in a week; we need to find funeral dresses and get tickets home" Serena glanced out of the hotel window "…I'm going to miss Paris. It's so-drama free."

Blair agreed with Serena. Paris was so drama free and life felt much better here. She knew once she hopped off the plane in New York, all the shittyness of their world would be back in their lives. Blair loved the Upper East Side with all her heart. But as much as her life seemed fabulous, there was always something crappy going on it at some point. Especially now; could she go on living her life without Chuck?

Blair may not have Chuck in her life anymore, but there would be a new person in it soon enough that would be as close to Chuck as she could get.

A/N: Told you I'd put the second chapter up :) Well, what did you think of this one? Idk if you guys have noticed, but at the end of each of the girls POV, I put a sentence that kind of foreshadows what to come next. It kind of like the show. Before each commercial, Gossip Girl gives her two cents on what had just happened, without sending a text. That was my intention. Do you guys like it? If not, tell me and I'll stop. I'm not going to do it in every chapter, but for the first few, their in there. So what do you guys think will happen next? what do YOU guys want to see in coming chapters? I have two more chapters typed up and ready to go, so if you want to see them, you know what to do ;)

-B!
