Disclaimer/Author's Note: Before I even start writing I just want to say that by no means am I an expert on the personalities and quirks of the actors and actresses of Once Upon a Time. And I'm also not a stalker so I don't know everything about their lives. This is just my imagination having a little fun. That being said, I hope you enjoy :) Please review if you have time!

"Two week break from filming. We rented a house in Hawaii. You in?"

I jumped when Colin appeared out of nowhere at the door of my hotel room.

"Umm, who?" I asked.

"The main cast members," he replied. "Lana, Robert, Emilie, Josh, Ginny, Georgina, me, you."

"Any significant others?" I followed up.

"Well the Charmings are bringing their baby of course," he winked.

"You know what I mean," I scoffed, slapping his arm.

"Georgina and Lana are bringing their husbands to up the count of men on this expedition," Colin said. "Your boyfriend is welcome to come if you so wish."

"Is Helen coming?"

He sighed and ran a hand through his hair.

"She's a little unhappy with me at the moment," he trailed off. "She took our son and dog to Massachusetts to stay with her parents."

"Oh Colin, I'm sorry," I said sadly. "I thought you guys were doing fine."

"Well we don't want the media to get a hold of that information," he said slowly. "So naturally like pretty much every other couple in the history of fame, we are hiding our private lives."

"If it makes you feel better, I broke up with Lance," I shared. "Turns out he wrote a blog about our sex life."

"Now that's bad form," Colin laughed.

There was a knock on the door and Sean poked his head in.

"Hey man, I'm in for the vacation. And I just booked tickets for everyone. We leave tomorrow from the airport."

"Great to hear," Colin exclaimed. "We'd better get packing. Did you let the rest know?"

I watched as the two men exited the room chatting away. I started flipping through my closet looking at my assortment of dresses.

I had just about packed my entire suitcase when there was a soft knock on my propped open door. Ginny stood there holding baby Oliver.

"What's going on?" she asked.

"It's just everything with Lance," I sighed, flopping onto my bed. "And then I just found out that Colin and Helen are having trouble. And the whole world is just so stupid."

"That's quite the conclusion to come to based off of two relationships," Ginny observed.

"It's not just these two relationships," I protested. "It's every relationship I've ever been in and pretty much any relationship that any famous person has ever been in. Present company excluded," I added quickly. "Too many people treat relationships and love like its common and they don't put any real effort into maintaining them or being faithful to them."

"You could be right, Jen," Ginny replied. "But don't let it get you down."

"Maybe this vacation will be good for us all," I said.

I zipped up my suitcase and set it by the door.

"Let's go get lunch," Ginny said. "I'll let Josh watch Oliver for a bit."

I nodded and she hurried out to find her husband. I combed my unruly long hair and reapplied lip gloss before sliding into a jacket and grabbing my purse and keys. Ginny met me in the hallway.

"Where do you feel like going?"

"I'm in the mood for a foot long Subway sandwich," I mumbled.

"Great!" she beamed. "That's just down the street."

We walked the short distance in the brisk Canadian air. Just as we were about to enter the sandwich shop, we heard our names being called.

"Ginny, Jen! Wait!"

I turned immediately to find Colin and Sean running up the street. Ginny held the door open for us as we all walked through.

"Mind if we join you?" Colin asked belatedly with a wide grin. "We're hungry, helpless men."

"Hungry, I can believe. Helpless, no."

"You're more than welcome," Ginny added after my statement. "Don't tell Josh that he missed out though."

"Or Jared," I laughed. "He hates when we do stuff like this without him."

I went first, ordering my sandwich as we chatted about random stuff.

"Foot long spicy Italian on Italian herb and cheese bread please," I rattled off. "Colin, what's this house like?"

"It's amazing, Jen. Wait until you see it!" he replied enthusiastically.

"What kind of cheese?"

"American."

"Toasted?"

"Yes, please."

"How many bedrooms?" I asked him cheekily.

"More than enough," he replied. "Careful, Morrison. One might think you were flirting with me."

I laughed out loud at the thought.

"Please tell me that someone is bringing lots of wine and cheese?" Ginny said. "I'll die if there isn't any."

"Lana will most certainly have that covered," Sean said.

"What veggies?"

"Lettuce, black olives, onions, ranch and chipotle sauce."

I watched absently as the lady piled on the condiments.

"Jen, are you doing all right?" Colin asked, touching my arm lightly.

"Yes!" I said a little too brightly.

"Anything else with this?"

I had reached the cash register.

"Chips and a drink please," I said.

I handed over my card to pay and then accepted my sandwich, chips and cup. I let the rest of the group finish ordering while I filled my soda cup with Dr. Pepper and sat in a booth near the front windows. Colin finished next and hurried over to sit next to me. Ginny and Sean soon followed.

So much for Ginny and I's heart-to-heart over lunch. I ate in silence, listening to the playful banter between my coworkers. I noticed the glances that were shot in my direction but I was too tired to do anything about them.

When all of us had finished, we gathered our garbage and headed back to the hotel that the TV show had permanently rented out for all of the cast and crew. I actually enjoyed the quaint town that they transformed into the hometown of the show.

"So much for our girl time," Ginny whispered teasingly as we passed by my room and I split off from the group. "I'll text you later," she added in a louder voice.

I waved a hand as they continued down the hall and collapsed on my bed to watch more cable. Ironically, that included a rerun episode of the TV show we were currently filming.

My phone buzzed about halfway through the 45 minute episode.

Colin: Hey, seriously, Jen, are you doing okay?

I rolled my eyes and waited a few minutes before texting back.

Jennifer: I'm fine. How many times do I have to tell you before you believe me?

Colin: Maybe if you told me the truth, I would.

Jennifer: Calling me a liar now?

Colin: Actually, there's something I need to tell you…

Jennifer: You're cheating on me? Oh my gosh! I knew this day would come! Lol

Colin: Haha…

Colin: But really though…

Jennifer: I'm listening.

Colin: When I told you that Helen and I were having some problems, I was kind of understating the issue.

Jennifer: What's going on? Is everything okay?

Colin: She cheated on me and now is filing for divorce. It'll be finalized tomorrow. And she's getting custody of our son.

Jennifer: Oh my gosh, Colin. This is not a conversation for texting.

Jennifer: Come to my room. You shouldn't be alone right now.

Colin: Forget I said anything. This vacation will be just what I need.

Jennifer: All right fine. Blow me off.

Colin: Thanks for the concern, Jen. I'm fine. Now will you tell me what's bothering you?

Jennifer: I'll share my secrets when hell freezes over.

Colin: Ouch.

Jennifer: Turnabout's fair play. You won't talk. I won't talk.

Colin: All right that's fair. Sorry. Maybe I'll be ready to talk at some point in the future.

Jennifer: Whatever helps you sleep at night.

Colin: Jen, I'm sorry.

Jennifer: Good night, Colin.

Colin: Jen, come on. I'm not trying to shut you out.

I dropped my phone to the bed and ignored all future texting. Ten episodes of the Big Bang Theory later, I yawned and turned off the TV. I slipped on a pair of boots and grabbed my wallet. The diner down the street sounded great for dinner.

It was fairly empty when I walked through the door and settled at a booth near the back. A waitress jumped up to take my order.

"Can I get an avocado bacon burger and an extra big order of fries?" I asked without even looking at the menu.

"Sure thing. Anything to drink?"

"Dr. Pepper."

"I'll have that out in a jiffy," the young girl beamed.

I envied her enthusiasm about something as simple as a waitressing job. True to her word, she whipped back with my glass of cold soda. I thanked her and sipped.

"Moping, Morrison?"

"No, O'Donoghue," I mocked. "Now leave me alone."

Instead of leaving at my request, he settled himself at my booth and started perusing the menu. The waitress nearly swooned when she came to take his order.

"I'll have two grilled cheese sandwiches and an order of onion rings," Colin ordered. "Oh and a glass of lemonade please."

"Coming right up," the waitress attempted to recover as she backed away.

"Feeling hungry?" I teased.

"One's for later," he said evenly. "Ready to talk yet?"

"Has hell frozen over?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Georgina's working on it," Colin said with a wink.

"Ha ha, very funny," I said dryly.

My burger and fries appeared in front of me and I looked up to find the waitress staring unabashedly at Colin. I slid a napkin and a pen towards him and started chowing down as he signed the napkin and handed it to her. Only then did she go back to the kitchen to keep collecting orders.

"Seriously, Jen. I'm worried about you."

"Don't be," I replied, popping a fry in my mouth.

"But I am. You need to talk about this."

The waitress reappeared with Colin's food. Thankfully, that shut him up for a while.

"Jen, is this about your break-up? Because I can empathize," he said after swallowing. "You and Lance were pretty serious."

"Seriously, Colin. Shut up."

"Part of the healing process is talking about it."

"You're one to talk," I was on the verge of yelling.

Then my phone started ringing. Caller ID told me it was my mom.

"I'm sorry, I have to take this," I said, standing up.

"Jennifer, I wanted you to hear this from me before the tabloids got a hold of it," my mom started talking immediately. "I mean, you know your father, he loves the attention."

"Wait, what? What's going on, Mom?" I asked, confused.

"Your father and I are splitting up. We came to this mutual decision half an hour ago when we both discovered that we'd been having separate affairs. At that point we realized that neither of us was satisfied with this marriage anymore. But don't be worried, it won't be awkward for you at all. We'll be very civil towards each other when you're visiting."

"Mom, I'm really busy right now, I'll call you later," I managed to stammer.

Before hearing her reply, I hung up and pressed a hand to my forehead. What was wrong with this world? Even my own parents couldn't keep it together.

As I walked back to my booth, I signaled the waitress.

"Can I get a box for this please? Something's come up and I need to go."

"Sure, hon," the girl rushed off with my plate.

I moved up to the cash register and quickly paid for my meal. I murmured a quick excuse to Colin as I grabbed my box and left the diner like my feet were on fire.

Reaching my hotel room, I slammed the door and locked it, slipping the chain into place. The TV was turned back on. I laid on my bed and finished my burger and fries while discreetly sniffing and wiping away tears.

A knock sounded on my door but I ignored it. I was not fit to be seen. The person knocked again.

"Jen, I know you're in there."

It was Josh.

"You're not my dad, Josh. I don't care what Colin told you. I don't need to talk to anyone."

I could hear his sigh through the door.

"Okay, Jen. Whatever you say. You have my number if you need Ginny or me."

I turned back to the TV as his footsteps faded back down the hallway. Then I started sobbing. I fell asleep sometime later that night with the TV still blaring.
