The day after the funeral Dan, Jenny, and Nate sat in the Humphrey family room sulking. They all stared at the carpet in silence, lost in their own thoughts. Rufus came in and starred at the three teenagers for awhile contemplating on what to do.

"Guys, I hate to break it to you but you cant sit here for the rest of your lives." Rufus said sadly.

"I don't want to do anything else." Dan said after a moment and Nate nodded in agreement.

'Look, I'll give you thirty bucks." He said pulling out his wallet. "The three of you go out and eat something, since none of you seem to find anything here appetizing." Rufus handed Dan the money.

"Now go." He ordered them. They protested, but he ushered them out the door. "Bring back the receipt so I can make sure you at least had something decent."

They starred at him strangely before closing the door. Rufus shrugged. Desperate times calls for desperate measures.

At a nearby pizzeria down the street the three of them ordered a medium pizza and three small drinks. Normally, they would have gotten a large pizza topped with pepperoni and sausage with a large order of fries, but they just weren't in the mood.

They sat at a table by the window and watched the steam slowly rise off of their pizza slices. Not one of them had taken a bite yet.

Dan unconsciously stirred his straw in his water causing the ice cubes to clink the side of his glass. He watched the liquid go round and around.

"Serena loved pizza." Nate said glancing out the window absentmindedly.

Jenny cringed when he said her name.

"Serena loved eating in Brooklyn. She said it was so different compared to the restaurants where she ate." Dan added.

Nate nodded, "Serena-"

"Stop! Just stop!! How can you talk about her when she just died?!" Jenny screamed causing the whole place to stop what they were doing and look at her.

Dan and Nate gaped at her astonishingly. Jenny glared at them before fleeing the pizzeria altogether. Dan and Nate didn't have enough time to react as they watched Jenny run down the busy streets before disappearing into the crowd on the sidewalk her long blond hair flowing out behind her as she ran.

When they couldn't see her anymore reality hit the both of them and they sprung from the booth throwing the thirty bucks on the table. The both of them dodged people on their cell phones who threw them icy glares.

Jenny didn't know where she was running to but she continued nonstop trusting her feet to carry her. She had glanced behind her to see if Nate and Dan had at least followed her but she saw no one familiar. Did they even care about her? Or were they too uninvolved in naming endless memories about…Serena?

Jenny felt the tears start to choke her, but continued to keep her pace. After what seemed like hours of endless running she found herself at,…Serena's grave. Jenny sat down and stroked the marble softly.

Tears dropped from her eyes and landed on the soft earth beneath her.

She felt sorrow and hatred overwhelm her.

How could Dan and Nate simply just leave her? Dan was her brother and Nate was her boyfriend! And why, why did Serena die?! Jenny had always looked up to her as an older sister she never had. Serena had always been the strong-willed and determined girl that let nothing stop her, the kind of girl Jenny wanted to be.

Jenny stood up and faced the grave stone. "Serena, I will be like you and nothing will ever stop me anymore. Not Dan, Nate, or even Dad." And with those last parting words she spun on her heel and walked off.

------------------X---------3-----------O------------------

Dan scanned the streets looking for his sister. She couldn't be that hard to find. Blond hair, red sweater, that's not too hard right?

Nate was on the other side of the street calling Jenny's name over and over again helplessly. He glanced over at Dan and they frowned at each other worriedly.

Jenny walked into the drug store and went to the make-up aisle. A new personality calls for a new bold look. She grabbed a cart and filled it with eye liner, black nail polish, ruby red lipstick, things that the "old" Jenny would have never bought.

After the make-up spree Jenny felt exhilaration running through her blood so she Jenny couldn't help but shut her eyes boldly stepped into a hair cuttery and picked a new style from a book laying on a table.

Jenny couldn't help but squeeze her eyes shut as the hair dresser snipped her hair. After an hour the hair stylist announced that she was done and Jenny cautiously opened one eye…and then the other.

She squealed. It looked amazing. There were more layers that stood out and she now had a neat "fringe" along her forehead. She was about to jump up and hug the stylist excitedly but she reminded herself the "new" jenny would never do that. She had to stay cool, calm, and collected.

Back out on the streets of Brooklyn Jenny checking her purse. She had a few coins but otherwise was broke. She cursed under her breath. Jenny decided she would sneak into the house and grab some money and then go shopping for a new wardrobe.

Jenny started walking home. She held her chin high as if to show off her new hair cut. She felt her phone vibrate in her pocket.

Gossip Girl: Looks like Little innocent J has turned bold with a new hair style. What's next?

Jenny groaned. Gossip girl was starting up again.
