Author's Note: It's JuKi (JulieKirsten friendship). Gotta love it, right?
Summary: On the way to an out-of-town event, Julie's car breaks down, leaving the girls stranded in the middle of no where. Their cell phones won't work, there are no passing cars to stop and help them. What will they do?
"I really hope we don't run into anyone we know," Julie commented quickly as she looked over her shoulder to check her blind spot. Driving wasn't her favorite thing to do, especially when she had to drive on the interstate. When driving in a pink silky dress that clung to her every curve, Julie wasn't exactly what you would call happy. As far as she was concerned, driving and dresses did not mix.
Kirsten made a weird noise, what Julie interpreted to be a mix between a laugh and a cough. "Why?" The blond inquired. She flipped the passenger sun visor down and checked her reflection in the mirror. The ever conscious one, Kirsten was convinced that her makeup looked awful, her hair didn't look right, and her dress was hideous. She was just an image-conscious person, and always had been.
The brunette gave her friend a brief disbelieving look. "Because I hate them all," Julie shrugged innocently.
Kirsten's jaw dropped as the statement filled her ears. "Julie! Those are our friends!"
Before the conversation could continue, the car veered to the right even though Julie was pulling the steering wheel to the left.
"What the hell?!" The brunette cried. Realizing that her hold on the wheel wasn't helping the problem, Julie relinquished her hold. Julie prayed that the car wouldn't spin off of a cliff, or into a guardrail. The last thing she wanted was for something to happen to her best friend.
The car came to a sudden halt that threw Julie into the dash just hard enough to knock the wind out of her. As she regained her ability to breathe, the first word out of Julie's mouth was, "Kirsten?"
A groan came from the passenger seat. The pained noise made Julie sick to her stomach, but she forced herself to sit upright to access the situation. Okay. The car had stopped along the right side of the interstate, and was facing on-coming traffic. There was not a single car on the highway, the brunette observed. Turning to her right, Julie faced Kirsten. The blond had her eyes closed and her left hand was clinging to her armrest as if it was the solution to all of her problems.
"Kirsten, are you okay?"
Her eyes stayed closed as she answered. "Julie, you suck at driving."
Despite their previous situation, the two laughed quietly for a moment. Julie was the first to recover, although her hands were still shaking as she opened her car door. "Let's figure out how to fix this."
