Summary:
Chapter 1: Mixtape (Butch Walker)
If you've read any of my fics, I have Julie and Dean together in the future. But what if (hence the title of the story) she chose Adam instead?
((This is going to be told through Dean's point of view.))

The gym is filled with red and white balloons, and of course the graduating Class of 1998. Now some would ask why the school would have the reunion after eight years and not ten. Well I don't know the answer to that question, but I do know that there is really only person I am most anxious to see.
And there she is. The light catches the green glint in her eyes.
"Dean! Oh my god!" She runs over and throws herself in my arms, and all the memories of ten years ago come rushing back to me. "Hey, how are you?"
How am I, are you kidding?
You say hello, inside I'm screaming I love you.
"You look so good." She said with a smile. I can't even stop myself from grinning. How could she even be focused on me? She is taller, curvaceous, her blonde hair falling far below her shoulder blades.
"Yeah, yeah so do you." I manage to stammer out. She must be the perfect woman, and I'm the biggest idiot on the face of this planet.
You say goodnight, in my mind
I'm sleeping next to you
"So rumor has it you're gunning for the minors." Julie asked, genuinely interested. To be honest, I was much more focused on how beautiful she looked.
"Oh yeah. Uh, tryouts are coming up. Definitely hoping for it."
"You'll be great. I always believed in you." A pang of guilt hit my stomach, don't remind me of how I let you go, please don't.
"I wanted to show you this." I say reaching for my pocket. I pull out a tape and hand it to her.
"Oh my gosh, you still have this?" She asked with a smile. "I can't believe you kept this."
"Yeah, well not all the songs sucked." I say with grin.
"Hey, hey. Well maybe if someone listening to something besides the Bone Club you'd have some taste." She handed it back, and I couldn't help but notice the giant diamond on her ring finger. My jaw slackened and I stared. She caught on and smiled.
"Oh yeah, so I guess you heard." What?
"Oh, of course. Congratulations."
"Thanks." Someone called her from across the room. "I'll be right back."
You drive away from my car crash of a heart
And I don't know
I put the tape back into my pocket, making a mental note to listen to it in the car.
But you gave me the best mixtape I have. And even all the bad songs ain't so bad. I just wish there was so much more than that…about me and you.
"Portman!" Fulton called behind me. I broke out of my trance and went over to hug him. Of everyone he and I had kept in touch the most. "It's pretty crazy to see everyone again, huh?"
"Yeah." I say looking around. Well things had certainly changed. Averman and Ken were business partners, Ken had two kids, Connie had married Rick Riley of all people and she was pregnant, and then…Julie.
"When did Julie get engaged?"
"Last month. Funny how her and Banks are gonna be married. I mean when they dated we all made jokes about it but of course, nobody was actually serious."
"And yet here we are." I respond. I see Julie again not far from me, her hand clutching Adam's tightly, Connie next to her.
You talk to him, and it burns me like the sun
You talk to her, and you say that you feel like he's the one
I talk to me, but you can't hear the pain I feel
You don't know

And the night continued the exact same way. Through all the speeches, jokes, drinks, I could only focus on one thing. At the end of the night I had already grabbed my coat and was waiting by the door.

"Hey, you." She greeted me.
"Hey."
"Did you have a good time?"
"Yeah, yeah it was great."
"Good." She looked awkwardly at her feet. "I'm sorry we didn't keep in touch. You'll come to the wedding right?"
"Uh, sure."
"I'm so glad. I've really missed you and everyone. It has been way too long."
"Yeah."
Oh, don't turn around and say bye again
"I just wish we could turn back time. At least then we were close. I mean at least we're still friends."
Yeah it crushes my head when you call me your friend and I'm not the same person from back in the day in the back of the class that you thought was gay.
"Friends…" She smiled meekly.
No I can't find the words cause I lost them
The minute they fell out of my mouth

"Okay, I guess this is goodbye." She came close and hugged me.
And it's love and I'm in it, so give me your lips
And just let me kiss 'em
And let's get messed up and listen to probably...
"Bye." She started to walk away. Do I just let her go?
The best mixtape I have
And even all the bad songs ain't so bad
I just wish there was so much more than that
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
About me and you
"Jules wait." She turned. Now what? "Um, congratulations, again."
She smiled then waved and I watched her walk out of my life for the second time…
About me and you
