Again I am failing with updating. I am currently writing Chapter 2 of this fiction so I can say there will be continued at least to a Chapter 2. None of the information's going to be all that accurate so please don't hurt me if some information is wrong. I don't own anything. Please enjoy!

October 12, 2021

It had been 12 years since graduation, five years since their last Starkid Production, and three years since she had seen him. Three years since she had seen the boy she had fallen in love with when she was 20, the last boy she ever loved.

Julia was now 34, and her life was productive as always. With all her experience as a director for the countless Starkid productions, and tours she had gotten into a little bit of movie producing and directing. She had a few films under he belt, which was more than a lot of 34 year olds could say. She was happy, or at least she thought she was.

Yes. Julia had been single for quite some time, never finding the right guy who could sweep her off her feet, which kind of upset her because this was in no way apart of the plan. Her plan was to get married no later than age 30, a plan she clearly broke four years ago. She lived alone, Lauren and Jaime had moved off, gotten married, and she was in countless weddings as a bridesmaid or in Lauren's case a maid of honor. Of course she was happy for her best friends but she felt apart of herself missing. All of her best friends were married, and here she was alone, living with her cats.

Not really but she might as well have been.

She had gotten out of Chicago, thinking that a move to LA would be more suitable for a working director. Of course it was, but it wasn't necessarily a place she was easily finding love. She wasn't the average LA beauty. She wasn't blonde, she wasn't 100 pounds, and she didn't have sky-high legs. She was Julia, and she was always going to be that. Just Julia.

She rolled out of bed and checked her clock. It was 10:43 and she was meeting Lauren for coffee in the Starbucks near her apartment. She apparently had some major news that she had to tell her best friend in person. Julia groaned. She knew what it had to have been. Lauren and Joey had been married for five years, they were more than likely expecting their first child. Why else would Lauren have to see Julia?

Julia took a hot shower and quickly got dressed in a pair of jeans and a sweater before quickly drying her hair and putting a bit of makeup on. It was just coffee, and it was just Lauren. It's not like she really was good at impressing the Barista. He didn't really even give her a second glance. With this she knew she was getting old and her time was running out.

She lugged herself to the Starbucks and sulked into a chair as she waited for her dainty friend. Lauren was always late. Julia broke off a piece of her muffin and popped it into her mouth as the five foot brunette sauntered into the now busy coffee shop.

"Julia!" she exclaimed as she ran up to her best friend. "It's so good to see you! I feel like it's been too long!'

'I know!" Julia added. "I missed you too Lo. How's Joey?"

"He's fantastic. He got an audition for a new movie along side Ryan Reynolds! Could you imagine? I'm praying he gets the part. Maybe I can do lunch with Blake Lively."

Julia just laughed. As happy as she was for Lauren, she still was slightly jealous of the happy marriage she had and Julia lacked.

Lauren sat down in the chair beside Julia and took a sip of her mocha. "So how're things with you?"

"Things are okay. I'm producing a little Indy film starting next month so that should be exciting. But everything is pretty much exactly how it was the last time we saw each other." Julia said as she played with the cardboard around her cup.

"Any guys?" Lauren asked in hopes of a positive answer. She hated that her best friend couldn't find a guy who understood her busy schedule. Julia was a catch, but Lauren felt like her friend had a hard time seeing that.

"Lauren, don't you think you'd be one of the first people to know if I was seeing someone? You call me everyday and we have the same conversation. You ask me this question at least three times a week. I'm fine Lauren. Really. I'm not upset about it. I've learned to deal with the fact that maybe prince charming isn't out there for me."

"Julia…there is a guy out there for you. You just need to find him. That's all." Lauren reached for her best friends hand. "You know you're always welcome over if you get lonely."

"Thanks Lauren. But I'm fine. I promise." It's okay." Julia gave Lauren half a smile as she took another sip of her coffee. 'So, why'd you bring me here today? I figured it would be something important."

"Oh right." Lauren smiled. "I'm pregnant."

Julia smiled back. Knew it. "I'm so happy for you Lauren. How far along are you?"

"I'm about two months in. Joey and I wanted you and Darren to be the first of our friends to know. Since you two are going to be the godparents."

Julia froze. No. No. No. No. She couldn't be godparents with Darren. This would ruin every wall she has built up since her sophomore year of high school. She couldn't she wouldn't.

"Lauren. I'd love to be the child's godparent."

Suck up.

Lauren clapped and smiled. "Thank you Lauren. You have no idea how much this means to me. We want you to be in the child's life constantly. You're my best friend and I can't wait until we can share these memories together."

"Me too." Julia said leaning over to hug her best friend. "So, Darren. How's he doing? I haven't seen or spoken to him in a few years. We kind of lost contact after he married Mia."

Laurens eyebrows rose and she suddenly got that look on her face. The look that meant Lauren had some gossip. "You didn't hear?"

"Hear what?" Julia asked.

"Mia cheated on Darren."

"W-what?"

"He walked in on her screwing one of her old band mates."

"That's horrible! The poor guy…"

"Yeah. He filed for divorce not even 24 hours later. I guess he means business. They've been divorced for a year and a half now. "

"Wow…I'm sure he's doing well, plenty of girls would be begging to get a date with Darren."

And that's when Lauren's lips curled into a smile. "He's single."
