Okay so I'm back and I'm sick and I don't know how many times I read this chapter it's not that great and when I wrote this I was kind of in a minor pissed off mood so there may be minor Vanessa bashing eek! Anywho you guys let me know I kind of know where I want to take this chapter but I would like to hear where you guys want me to take this story ;)
So I LOVED the reactions slash reviews so thanks: kwimz, Mwhahahaha18, qpritchie1, bananasinpjs, chlean, AshleyM15, babyshan211
So my awesome reviewers and to ALL those who alerted and favourited this story are AWESOME people ;) Love you here is the next chapter
Oh and the dresses and shoes are on my profile... love Kiera's dress and Jenny's oh and the shoes make me want it
I love you Jenny, that's it
We are back to the start of the weekends… lock those houses tonight and tell your maids goodnight and those who have parents that care because you will be out all night at B's masquerade ball. Everyone will be there of course… D & S are back together not much to my surprise they would probably break up before I get to this ball. Not that I'm doubting them ;). B & C are still playing cat and mouse of course B being the cat and C being the mouse… or is it the other way around? J has been hiding her tears since the whole break-up seriously I think N and J are on the road of following break-ups and make-ups of Lonely Boy & S. J is being dragged to this ball.
Spotted yesterday at lunch, Queen B personally handing the invitation to J and her friends then dragging J to the side to trade little words that ended with a hug… weird.
What about the newbie parents? N and V surprisingly not much has been going on… since N been laying low but been mostly with V to help out with the baby and all. Seriously it has only been a couple of weeks it's not like she has swollen feet that need to be massaged or maybe she does, but whatever N wants to be daddy who knows he could become husband but we will never know with N. So I guess N will be a no show with V having a short tight leash on him.
So boys and girls grab them masks and put them on. Everyone has this one night to be somebody their not, to kiss somebody they have been wanting, to tell secrets to an unknown stranger. According Queen B's rules; at midnight masks are off and pleasures and shocks can be thrown into that moment.
Can't wait as I know you kiddies will keep me posted as I will too ;)
You know you love me

Gossip Girl
9am:
"Please Jen let me do it" Sophia begged on her knees as Jenny laughed from the couch
"Don't you think you are being a bit dramatic" Keira yawned as she sat on the kitchen stool having another scoop of cookie dough ice cream
Sophia turned her head back and shot a glare at Keira "You are next and why are you having ice-cream at this time of day"
"Well who told you to drag me out of bed at eight thirty to here so excuse me for eating ice-cream and I agree to whatever you want" Keira surrendered grumpily as Sophia smiled then turned to Jenny and pouted
"Fine" Jenny surrendered as Sophia got up and clapped excitedly
"Okay you deal with the dresses and then I will deal with hair and make-up start now we have eight hours to get ready then give it tops two hours for hair and make-up. K you ready to show me your artistic skills for the masks I brought and I have your arty stuffs in my bag of goodies over there" Sophia pointed out on the table
"Yep these hands are ready to do some artwork but the question is are you ready?"
"No, but I can give you suggestions" Sophia smiled coyly as Keira laughed and nodded then asked Jenny
"Colour of dresses you planning so I get to know what to do for the masks"
"Hmm thinking silky satin red for S and satin emerald green for you and satin white for me" Jenny said as Keira nodded as Keira said
"Let the magic begin"
Eight hours later and three dresses later…5pm
Jenny wiped the sweat from her forehead as she finished sewing the finishing touches to her dress
"Girls have you finished?" Jenny yelled as she admired her finished works
"Yep these masks are hot Keira! And I have all the make-up and all my hair-styling equipment ready" Sophia yelled excited
"Didn't really think we needed it all" Keira added as Sophia playfully slapped her
"They better be because these dresses are beyond amazing that I can't believe I created it" Jenny said loudly as she later heard footsteps running to her bedroom door. Both Sophia and Keira paused once in Jenny's bedroom as Jenny turned to her best friends to see their eyes widened and mouth wide open
"Amazing isn't it" Jenny smirked at them as Sophia walked up to a red dress
"Please tell me this is mine" Sophia asked as Jenny nodded as Keira walked up to the green dress beside Sophia and moved he hands over the silky green material opening her mouth to say words but nothing came out
"Yes sweetie that is your dress K"
"It's…beautiful" Keira gasped at the sequin design as Jenny smiled at her friends all that work was worth it to see the smiles from them
Keira and Sophia turned their head to the elegant white dress "Jenny this is beautiful and it will look amazing on you"
Jenny blushed from all the compliments "Thanks guys you better make sure they come off carefully when your boyfriends see them"
"Oh I can't promise anything with Tyler and I we are…" Jenny and Keira covered Sophia's mouth
"We don't need to know about you and Tyler's sex life!" Jenny exclaimed as the girls felt Sophia's mouth pout in their hands.
They slowly removed their hands as Sophia smiled at the dress as Jenny explained "Don't worry its not too long when you wear those white slash gold heels and the dress will perfectly sit above it so when you walk it will be like you float on air same goes to you Keira"
Sophia smiled excitedly as she ran out the door to grabbed the masks and passed it to Keira and Jenny their respectable masks
"We are going to look hot" Keira said excitedly
"Of course so S it's all up to you now" Jenny said and looked to Sophia who ordered Keira to be seated in front of the mirror
Two hours later…7pm
"Ladies I must say we make an awesome threesome with J's fashion skills, K's artistic skills and my hair and make-up skills" Sophia stated as they stood and looked at the dress-length mirror
*Knock Knock*
"That must be Ryan" Keira smiled excitedly as her heartbeat quickened
Sophia and Jenny laughed at their friend's reaction as Jenny motioned for Keira to get the door. With the clicking of her emerald green peep toe heels she opened the door to be greeted with a black and white suit with his raven black hair slightly spiked in the front as he turned his head to have his breathe hitched in his throat
Keira blushed at his reaction that's what she loved about Ryan he didn't have to say anything his face said it all. She began to get hot under his stare as bit her bottom lips knowing it drove him crazy as she knew she had control
Ryan gulped as he took in her beauty as he watched her bite her bottom lips he knew she was enjoying his reaction and he was definitely not complaining the view. With her blonde hair slightly curled framing her face perfectly she smiled "So you like?"
Ryan chuckled and stepped towards her and pressed his lips against her clear glossy lips. Keira moaned when she felt his tongue slip into her mouth as he pushed her against the door caressing her cheek. Keira sighed as she closed her eyes when she felt his lips leave trials against her neck.
"Ry we can't…" Keira breathed out as she felt his hands rub against her thighs as her arms wrap around his neck and her hands ran through the back of his hair
"AHHHHH! OUR EYES!" Sophia and Jenny yelled causing the couple to break apart
"Did you guys have to be here?" Ryan said annoyed as he placed his forehead against Keira's who smirked at him while Jenny and Sophia laughed at his reaction
"This is my house and I really don't want you two to be tainting it" Jenny placed her hands on her hips
"Guessing he liked the dress and now I'm going have to fix your hair and make-up" Sophia sighed as Keira said
"Just lip gloss and my hair is fine"
"No its got the whole 'I-got-pressed-against-the-wall-and-made-out' look" Sophia pointed out as the trio looked at her crazily as she said
"What it does… come on" Sophia said motioning Keira as she sighed and briefly kissed Ryan on the lips as he closed the door and followed her to stand outside of Jenny's room
"Hey Ry" Jenny said as he hugged her
"Hey J you looking beautiful, made it?" he asked as Jenny nodded
"And Soph's and K's"
Ryan smirked at Jenny "Thank you because she looks sexy and amazing"
"Yeah I got the visual ugh now I'm going to have nightmares" Jenny shuddered
"I did the make-up and hair" Sophia yelled from the room
"Thank you not that she needs it because she is always beautiful"
"Aww thanks…ow" Keira said as Sophia slapped her arm to stop her from moving
"Stop moving"
"So how are you J?" Ryan asked
"Okay so far" Jenny said truthfully
"He's not coming is he?" Ryan asked as Jenny shook her head
"I don't know with the baby and all that I don't think so even Gossip Girl says he would be a no show" Jenny explained as Ryan said
"If he does show I'll beat him"
Jenny laughed "Why? I'm the one who broke up with him"
"Which I still don't know why you could have helped them out and I swear this feeling in my guts is screaming V is up to something" Keira said loudly as Jenny seemed to think about the 'helping out' idea
Sophia said loudly too "Yeah I'm with K here, Nate was willing to make it work with you and V come and talk to you after what she did to you… definite suspicious there"
Jenny rolled her eyes at their theories as Ryan looked at her in agreement "Not you too" Jenny said
"Sorry J but I know you think V is your friend but I just think its weird when has V ever put Nate's feeling first in consideration" Ryan explained
Jenny sighed getting agitated and can't help but push aside the fact that maybe her friends are right "I've known Vanessa for as long as I remember and she always think of others before herself"
Ryan placed his hands on either side of her shoulders "I know but those were the days but she sounds like she has changed since moving here"
Jenny looked away and saw her two girlfriends come out of the room behind her as they stood in front of her as Sophia said "Actually Hot shot may be onto something I mean she had the crush on Dan and tried to break them a part"
"No she didn't it was Serena's insecurities" Jenny defended Vanessa
Sophia sighed as she continued "Yeah but Vanessa used that to her advantage then she fell for Nate then they broke up and whatever, then you came along. Then you sort of had time apart because of family but Nate sent you a letter to say how much he cared about you but who steals the letter?"
"Vanessa" Jenny muttered weakly
"Yes… so you both think you don't want anything to do with each other who comes into Nate's picture?"
"Vanessa" Jenny said again
"That's right Vanessa! Now shall we relieve the Snowflake Ball"
"That was my fault you guys know that" Jenny said surely
"Uh huh right please I am not stupid everybody knows that would be a see through material who the hell wears a dress and not check if everything is perfect"
"Like you just did for the half hour" Jenny chuckled as Sophia smiled
"Hey got to look perfect for Tyler. As I was saying she pulls the whole 'I'm-sorry-for-snatching-the-letter slash guilt card to Nate and then BAM see through dress a perfect plan too perfect"
Jenny laughed at Sophia's crazy theory "Okay I don't think it was a plan how would she know I would give her a see-through dress"
"She knows you J a little too well she knew you would be angry and wanted revenge especially hanging with Penelope and the other minions which I don't know why you did"
"Can we not relieve it"
"Sorry but see Vanessa understands people and knows their weakness and knows how to use it to her advantage"
Jenny shook her head as Keira said "As crazy as Sophia sounds but I just think this pregnancy is I don't know it's… just something fishy is going on"
Jenny looked at her three best friends "I love you guys but all this drama is called life and it hurts and the pain is indescribable being without Nate but sometimes you have to let go the people you love in order for them to focus on their life"
Ryan, Sophia and Keira saw the pain they have been seeing the past two weeks in her eyes as they enveloped her in a group hug "We're here for you J whether you like it or not"
Jenny chuckled as they pulled apart until they heard a knock on the door
"Tyler!" Sophia squealed as Jenny's eyes widened and told Sophia to stay back
"Why was K allowed to answer the door when hot shot came" Sophia pouted
"Yeah and what happened? They almost had sex against my door… now you and Tyler I don't want clothes ripped off at first sight because that took hours to create"
Sophia pouted more "Please I'll answer and we'll just kiss that's it not K and R make-out sessions"
Jenny couldn't resist the pouting "Fine"
Sophia squealed in excitement as the knocking was heard again "Coming" Sophia yelled and walked to the door to reveal Tyler in his suit and his hair lightly spiked as well
Tyler let out a low whistle "Damn I still can't believe you my girl"
Sophia smirked seductively "Oh baby the one and only" as Tyler walked in then turned back and offered his hand.
Sophia closed the door and looked at Tyler confused as she slipped her hand into his then squealed when he twirled her then brought her to his side and bent her down towards the ground
"You are looking more beautiful then stars out there tonight and your lips are screaming for me to kiss it" Tyler said huskily as Sophia sighed at his tone and said
"You know just what to say" Tyler smirked and captured her lips as Sophia wrapped her arms around his neck his hold on her tightened around her waist
"Hi TYLER!" Jenny yelled then made gag noises
Sophia pulled away as Tyler pouted as she whispered "Later babe we have all night"
Tyler smirked as he brought Sophia up to an upright position and left his arms around her shoulders "Don't be jealous you had a chance with me"
Jenny laughed out loud "Please you are like another addition to brothers"
"And you are just a pain in the ass sister" as they all laughed
"Hey what up Ry?" the boys did their manly handshakes as he kissed Keira on the cheek then smirked to Ryan
"Made out with her huh?" as Ryan nodded proudly as the boys high fived
"How do you know?" Keira said surprised
"You lips a sort of swollen and your hair still has that 'I-got-pressed-against-the-wall-and-made-out' look" Tyler said as they all looked at him surprised
"Dude that just sounded gay" Jenny said
"No he has just been around Sophia for long hours" Keira said as they all agreed
"I'm not complaining" Tyler smirked and kissed Sophia on the cheek causing her to giggle
"So you boys got your masks?" Sophia asked leaning against Tyler's shoulders
"Yeah" the boys said both looking into their tux pockets
"So we all ready to go?" Jenny asked
"Yeah we better go; got Alfred outside don't want him waiting long" Ryan said as they all made their way out
"You guys go ahead I just get some stuff and write a note of reminder and lock the apartment" Jenny said
Once alone Jenny leaned against the wall she loved her friends but she felt a bit jealous of the attention they got she missed that. Holding her tears she wrote the reminder on a post it and stuck it to the fridge for her dad knowing Dan was already at the party with Serena.
"It's about having fun tonight Jenny Humphrey and you are going to have it" Jenny said to herself determined as grabbed her evening purse and locked the apartment
*B's Masquerade Party* 11pm
Jenny adjusted her mask after mingling and dancing with her friends and drinking a little they then divided into their respectable couple going to the dance floor leaving Jenny alone at the bar
"Would a beauty like you dance with me" Jenny smirked she knew that voice to be Carter she could say no but again they had masks and she was with nobody so what harm could it do
"Of course" Jenny replied as she accepted his hand as he led her to the dance floor. Jenny turned her back to him as his hands went straight to her waist. Nothing she felt nothing she'd hoped she at least feel a spark but there was none
'Damn you Nate' Jenny thought as she continued to dance
After a couple of songs she got tired and went to move away from Carter but he had a tight hold on her waist as he whispered in her ears
"Do want to go somewhere quiet?" Jenny gulped as she shook her head
"Come on just to talk" he tried again but Jenny tried to away from his grasp but he only tightened causing Jenny to whimper
"That hurts" Jenny said as Carter turned her around and looked through her eyes and said menacingly
"Come on just to talk"
"I don't want to… your hurting me" Jenny struggled as he held her wrists
"I think she said no" a male voice spoke as Jenny and Carter turned their head to the side to be met with Nate Archibald in a tuxedo and wearing a half mask
"Archibald" Carter said as Nate stepped closer to him
"You better let her go" Nate threatened
"Or what?" Carter challenged Nate
"Or I be breaking your bones" Nate said and Carter retreated back in the truth in Nate's tone as he turned to Jenny and let her go and muttered a whatever
Just then "I'll be" by Edwin McCain started to play as Jenny turned to Nate as he held out his hand. Jenny accepted it as he swiftly pulled her against him as his hands went perfectly to her waist sending sparks up her spine. Jenny took a breath in as she let hands lay against his chest and looked into his blue eyes and for once not caring if she got lost into them
"You look beautiful Jenny"
"How did you know it was me?" Jenny asked softly
"I just knew when I walked in you were the first person I saw and my heart beats faster when I'm near you… here" Nate said as he moved one of Jenny's hands to his chest to feel the rapid heartbeat
Jenny closed her eyes taking in this moment and then moved her hands around his neck.
Nate stared into Jenny's green eyes and said "I miss you"
"Nate…"
"Just tell me do you miss me too?" Nate asked quickly cutting Jenny off
"You know I do Nate but this situation is just so complicated"
Nate shook his head "I love you Jenny that's it"
"Vanessa is having your baby which by the way where is she?"
"But I don't love her Jenny and she is at home she doesn't know I'm here" Jenny felt a little relieved when Nate said that as she bit her bottom lips nervously
"I don't want you to spend your time with me or worry about me"
"Do you know even when we are not together I worry more about you" Nate chuckled and continued
"Whether we are together or not you will always be on my mind Jenny Humphrey you are it for me when I wake up you are the first thing on my mind and the last thing when I go to sleep. I'm tired of always running from my heart because you are my heart Jenny Humphrey no matter what everyone else says. I'm always thinking of you and I will always love you" Jenny felt tears in her eyes as he said
"I would lift your mask up but the rules and Blair is like vulture on those who don't follow the rules" Jenny chuckled
"So are you willingly to give us another try?" Nate asked as Jenny said
"Yes but only as friends" Nate looked at her surprised
"Jenny…"
"Nate it's hard enough to be around but these past two weeks it got me thinking I need you in my life but I can't be in a relationship with you when you are just learning to accept Vanessa is the mother of your child. I miss you Nate I do but before we were good friends so can do that and see where it takes us"
Nate took a deep breathe in holding in his tears and his want to kiss her lips as he said "I'll take what I can get"
Jenny smiled and said "I'm proud of you for standing by Vanessa but I want to be friends with you on one condition"
Nate nodded it couldn't get any worst "Don't cut me out with the baby I want to help out with anything you guys need I want to involve too; Vanessa and I used to be friends so I'm here for you guys anything you need that I can do" Nate looked at Jenny with amazement as how she could offer her help it made him love her more
Nate nodded just then the countdown was to be heard as they stared into each others eyes lovingly as they counted down with the crowd "Five…Four…Three…Two…One….Take off the masks!"
Jenny and Nate pulled theirs off as Jenny turned to Nate and caressed his cheek causing Nate to close his eyes "I love you Nate I probably always will but I just need time"
Nate nodded as he bent down and kissed her on the cheek as he whispered in her ears "I'll wait for you"
Well, well what a night. Gossip Girl had fun with the details. C and B spotted mingling, dancing then made their way to a private room. Speaking of another C yep Carter was here for the night spotted dancing his way into J's heart which was mission failure but by the end of the night spotted with Penelope.
Speaking of J… N made a special appearance saving J from the wrath's of bad boy Carter. Wonder if V knows N snuck out to see his recent ex-girlfriend?
I got a lovely snapshot of N and J after taking off their masks. Were they saying goodbye? Will V finally have N?
I think this love triangle just got a whole lot interesting
You know you love me
