Disclaimer: I don't own Life with Derek, just original characters; Riley and Shane, remember them?

Summary: Sequel to You and I, Both. One last thing before going to college: take a road trip with three couples in the car. A car filled with tension, unsolved problems, and some serious attractions. Spending weeks with each other is definitely not going to improve the circumstances. It's going to be a bumpy ride. Oh boy.

A/N: Helloo. Well, I'm back with some of that drama. It's definitely more drama in this story. This is the sequel to You and I, Both, and I hope you guys like it. You don't really have to read the first one to understand this story. The story starts in the future, but it goes back to lead up to it. Anyway, reviews would be much appreciated, because I'd love to know what you guys think. It helps me update quicker, and gets me motivated. So, enjoy, and reviews, please. Warning: There may be cursing in this story, just tell me if you think I should up the rating. It may go up in later chapters.

Oh, little side note, the title is after the book by Jack Kerouac, On the Road, great book. Very random, yes. Moving on.

… Hours before arriving to San Diego, California.

The mini-van traveled down the swerved roads; high mountains covered in rocks could be seen outside the windows. There were cars filled with smiling families, sleeping kids, and giggling teens. The sun brightly shined, reflecting off the colors of the cars, with the beautiful California blue sky above them. The world seemed peaceful… other than the silver car with yelling that could be heard a mile away.

Jordyn and the boys sat awkwardly as Casey and Emily fought, releasing the tension that seemed to be filling their lives ever since they met each other. How Emily always made Derek the center of attention, frustrating Casey. How Casey always got what Emily wished for. And of course, the attractions that hid and traveled around the group.

"Casey! Why don't you stop paying attention to everyone else around you and pay more attention to your own boyfriend?!" Emily screamed, with only her seat belt holding her back.

"Oh, boy," Shane said, his eyes getting wide, as the car became dead silent. His fingers wrapped tightly around the steering wheel.

"Fine! I'll do that when you start liking your own boyfriend!" Casey's head was turned around, and she was shaking from aggravation. "I mean you still like Derek," Casey used her index finger, and then stuck out her thumb, "and you have this attraction to my boyfriend. Oh, let's not forget to mention Sam, your own boyfriend, who you've confused if you even like him or not."

Sam groaned, with his head cupped in his hand, staring out the window, wishing he could just jump out of the car.

"Yes, Sam, MY boyfriend, Casey!" Emily's fury matching with Casey's. "So just get over what you guys had, and get over Sam!" Emily moved forward and cocked and eyebrow, "And let's not forget your want for Derek, just because you can't have him."

"Aw, geez," Jordyn mumbled, from the back of the car, Derek holding tightly onto her hand.

"What about you, Jordyn?" Emily turned around, to face Jorydn's, whose eyes got wide, as she sat up. "What's with you and Sam, being oh-so-close nowadays?"

Sam slowly turned around at Jordyn, who cocked an eyebrow, "Me and Sam are just friends. When you guys fight, I convince him to go realize how great you are." Jordyn shook her head, her nails digging into Derek's hand in frustration. "I told you that. Get over it. I'm sure Sam's going to need someone to talk to because he's going to reconsider his whole relationship with you, because you're just such a lovely glowing person right now, Em."

Casey looked at Sam, who was instantly turning red, and becoming more nervous, "What about you, Sam? Are you and Jordyn just friends?"

"Casey!" Jordyn sat up, taking her hand out of Derek's, and giving Casey a look. "Of course we are. I don't think you need anymore drama considering you like Derek, and Sam, and not to mention my bro-"

"I don't know," Sam mumbled, and the attention all turned to him.

"What?" Jordyn asked, sitting up, begging him to look at her. "Sam-"

"I don't know if I like you or not, Jordyn. I don't know if it's just friends or something else," Sam said, then looked at Emily, before looking at Jordyn. He then turned to Derek, who looked at him, jaw slightly dropped, eyes in slits. "I'm sorry, man."

Derek raised an eyebrow, "You're sorry? Is that all you're gonna say? You like my girlfriend, dude!" Derek yelled, as Sam sat to the edge of his seat, seeing that Derek was ready to pounce on him.

"I don't know either," Jordyn said quickly, holding Derek down.

"What?" Derek yelled, looking at her confused.

Jordyn looked back at Sam, "Well it's because Emily was spending so much time with Shane after Sam and Emily fought, and somehow I would always be there to make Sam feel better, and then you went off to talk to Casey because she was feeling insecure about Shane, or you were with Emily making her feel better. It just… Derek, I don't know."

Derek looked down, the angry look leaving his face, "I don't either."

"Don't know what?" Emily asked, and Derek looked around before making eye contact with Jordyn.

"I don't know about Casey," Derek said, glancing at Casey, who was looking down.

Jordyn sat back in the seat, her face up. Silence filling the air, before she yelled, "Why the fuck did we take this fucking road trip?"

All heads tilted back against their seats, sighing, and waiting until they would reach the closest beach to finally figure everything out.
