A few more days passed without consequence. Vanessa had pulled herself away from the group, finding that she was quite unwelcome, despite the fact that Dan tried to incorporate her more often. Blair and Nate had brought their relationship out into the public, Nate now avoiding Jenny every chance he could. But no matter how much it angered her at times to see the couple holding hands beneath the table, Jenny had her nights with Chuck to soothe her. At the end of the second week, they were all gathered upstairs on the roof. It was night, soft music played in the background, and tons of candles were giving them light
Dan and Vanessa were sitting by the diving board, glasses of water in their hands, just talking. Blair was stretched out on one of the lounge chairs, Nate behind her, his arms around her waist. Across from them was Serena who was laughing at something Blair had just said, all of them had glasses of wine in their hand.
And Chuck was behind the bar with his normal scotch in hand as he watched Georgina throw olives from the already drank martini glasses into Jenny's mouth.
Dan was watching his little sister out of the corner of his eye, and he frowned as he watched her catch one of the olives, Chuck laughing lightly as Georgie clapped. Another martini was slid towards her and he sighed, standing and going over to her.
Jenny had barely gotten the glass to her lips when Dan took it from her, "I think you've had enough for the night."
She frowned at him and took the glass back, "I don't think that's up to you."
Taking a sip the blond danced away from him. The glass was empty quickly and she let it drop, smashing against the ground. Everyone had stopped what they were doing and had looked towards them.
Georgina was just as drunk as Jenny was and she got up with the blond and took her by the hands, beginning to dance. Slowly, Serena got out of her own chair and walked over, standing beside Dan.
"You guys, that really is enough, you should go back downstairs," she said looking at them.
Georgie laughed and leaned in to whisper in Jenny's ear, "don't listen to her, you might end up dead."
People stared at her confused, Jenny laughing, not knowing the meaning as tears welled up in Serena's eyes.
"I thought you promised you wouldn't say anything Georgina," she mustered.
"Well, I haven't gotten anything out of it yet, so why keep it a secret," the brunette said moving away from Jenny.
Jenny, finally understanding that what was going on wasn't a game ran her hand through her hair and reached out for the brunette's hand.
"Come on Georgina, let's go get some ice cream or something," she said.
"No, no, the party is just getting started, why would you want to leave now?"
Slowly, Vanessa, Blair, and Nate joined Dan and Serena.
"Maybe you should listen to her Sparks," Blair shot, "leave us alone and sober up before you cause any trouble."
"No. It's about time you all learned the truth about your precious perfect Serena and why she left last summer."
Dan shook his head, "we already know the story. She slept with Nate, felt guilty about it and took off. We don't need the details, we know them already."
"Aw, you slept with Nate S," Georgie said looking at the blond, "no matter you were already so torn up when you got to Pete's. Or do you not remember him. He's dead now…because of you."
"Because of us, Georgie! Us! You and me!"
The brunette kinked her eyebrow and looked at the people that had taken a step back from Serena, "looks like the truth came out and your friends couldn't handle it. What does that tell you about your so called real friends?"
Jenny grabbed Georgina's wrist and started to pull her towards the door that led back down to the apartment, "come on, I could really use something to snack on," she said with a laugh, "maybe I can toss cherries into your mouth, get you back for the olive you hit me in the eye with."
She didn't like the atmosphere of the party now and just wanted things to go back to the way they had been merely moments before, but Georgina wasn't having any of that.
"Aw, go fuck Chuck," she spat, shoving Jenny roughly away, causing the blond to trip over the edge of the pool, falling head first into the shallow end.
What happened next seemed as if it happened in slow motion. Both Nate and Dan shouted and went running for the pool water which as slowly tinting a red as Jenny's now unconscious body resurfaced. Nate made it first, leaping into the water and grabbing Jenny, lifting her out with the help of Dan and Vanessa. Serena propped her head up in her lap as Nate gave her CPR. Blair was holding onto one hand as Dan and Vanessa paced back and forth, waiting. Georgina had already disappeared downstairs. And Chuck was still standing behind the bar, sipping at his scotch, staring blankly at the scene.
Coughing suddenly, Jenny sputtered to life and everyone let go of the breath they had been holding.
"Where's Chuck," she managed.
At the sound of his name, Chuck moved from behind the bar and pushed Nate aside crouching beside Jenny.
"I'm right here," he said, giving her a soft smile as he brushed away some of the wet tendrils clinging to her face.
She smiled, and reached her hand up to his chin, pulling him towards her and pressed her lips softly against his. There was a collective gasp from everyone watching and as they broke apart, Chuck help her up. Still holding onto her hand he looked away, only to be greeted by Dan's fist to his nose.
Author's Note: All right, for those of you out there that hate the Jenny/Chuck relationship, you're going to have to deal, because it's probably going to be present most of the story, but come on, this wouldn't be a Gossip Girl fan fiction if one of them didn't waver. If you don't get the hint that means I'm probably going to either have another Jenny/Nate moment or a Blair/Chuck thing. Also, I'm going to start putting a bit of Serena/Dan action, and maybe even a bit of Vanessa/Dan or Serena/Nate, depends on how the story goes. But if you have any idea's or criticism's please, contribute them, I'm open to everything.
