A/N- Let me start this with a huge I'M SORRY! Its been forever since I updated and I feel really bad about it. Don't worry, I haven't abandoned you! Last chapter was dramatic but it wouldn't be one of my stories without the dramaaaa! So yay!

"Juliaaaaaaaa!" Meredith whined, "Are we there yet?" Julia sighed. They had left DC just a few minutes ago for Orlando and people were already asking if they were there yet. She knew it was gonna be a long trip.

"No Meredith. We still have about twelve hours." If we're lucky. She thought to herself. But she couldn't tell them that. There would probably be a riot.

"Juliaaaaaaa!" Lauren called.

"Yes?"

"When are we stopping?"

"We just got on the road."

"I'm bored." Julia looked to Darren for help. He raised his hands and stuck out his bottom lip in a classic 'Darren doesn't know' pose. Then his face stretched into a smile. He motioned for Julia to go sit next to him. She walked over and sat next to him. She couldn't help but smile back. His excitement was contagious.

"Do you have an idea?" She asked.

"No."

"Did you call me over here for a reason?"

"I was lonely. And I think you were too."

"I was in the middle of a group."

"I think you were lonely in here." He motioned to her heart.

"That was deep Darren. Especially for you."

"Was that an insult?"

"You'll never know." They got quiet. Julia didn't mind it when it was quiet between them but she wished they could still go quiet without her mind and heart going into overdrive wondering if he didn't want to talk to her. She wanted to go back to college when they were best friends. No feelings. No complications. Just friends. But, she couldn't back out now. She knew that she had let her little crush go too far and now she had to deal with it.

"Juliajuliajuliajuliajuliajul iajulia..." Lauren chanted her name, interrupting Julia's thoughts. Her voice only getting louder.

"For the love of god! Lauren! What do you need?"

"Are we there yet?"

"We'll get there when we get there! Just shut up!" The bus went dead silent. None of them could remember the last time Julia had lost her temper. And she had never just lost it before. Both Lauren and Julia looked on the verge of tears. Julia got up and moved to an empty seat as far away from everyone else as possible, turning her head towards the window. Darren started to get up but Lauren reached her arm over the seat and stopped him.

"Don't."

"What? You're gonna go?"

"No but it sure as hell can't be you."

"What are you saying?"

"Don't make me tell you but please just let someone else go." Lauren pleaded.

"Okay." Darren's face showed his confusion but he understood there we something going on that was beyond something he could fix.

"Thanks." Lauren looked relieved, "Jaime? Can you?"

"Sure." Jaime got up and slowly walked to Julia's seat and sat next to her, "Jules?" Julia turned around to face Jaime. Jaime could see tears in her eyes. She wrapped her in a hug. A few moments later Julia pulled away.

"I just... I don't know. He likes Lauren. And I know I sound like a middle schooler but I love him, Jaime. And I don't know what I'm supposed to do." Jaime hugged her again.

"The way you feel about Darren isn't some middle school love. I can tell. But, Julia if he doesn't see how you feel he's not worth it. He's just a guy. Maybe he's the love of your life. Maybe he's not. If he is it'll work out. If he's not, soon you'll find another guy, a better guy. Okay?"

"Okay. Is Lauren okay? I didn't mean to snap at her like that."

"She's fine. She understands. She wanted to come over here but figured she wasn't the person you needed to talk to. She also stopped Darren from coming to talk to you."

"She's being so great about this whole thing."

"Except she won't tell Darren she's not interested."

"I can't blame her. She liked him a lot in college and its hard to get away from feelings like that. But, I think that Joe's the guy for her. She seems much happier than she ever did with Darren."

"See. Everything is going to work out."

"I'm going to go apologize."

"Okay." The girls got up and returned to their original seats. All eyes focused on them wondering what Jaime had said to calm Julia down.

"Hey guys!" Julia began, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry for losing my temper. I don't know what go into me."

"Its fine." Lauren said, "We all have those days." But as her eyes me with Julia's, Julia saw something different. She looked apologetic. Julia broke eye contact confused and wondering what she was sorry for. Once the bus had calmed down and gotten back into its routine. Julia silently motioned for Lauren to join her. The two moved to the front of the bus.

"There's the look again." Julia observed.

"What look?"

"The apologetic look."

"Oh. Yeah."

"So what's with that?"

"I feel like this whole thing is my fault."

"What thing?"

"The whole you and Darren thing."

"How is it your fault?"

"I don't know. I keep thinking there's some way I can get him to unlike me." Lauren admitted.

"Don't blame yourself Lauren. If its meant to be it'll happen."

"Did Jaime tell you that?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"She's been telling herself that a lot lately."

"Wh- Oh. Right. Joey."

"Yeah."

"Do you think he likes her back?" The conversation shifted.

"I don't know. I think so but we don't want to get her hopes up."

"Well she is Salad Sally. and he's Joey Richter. So it has to work out. We wrote it." Julia joked.

"What does Joey have an out of control dick now?" Julia erupted into loud laughter. Lauren quickly followed. The laughing deteriorated into crying. The rest of the bus stared at the best friends who were on the floor, their laughing out of control. Finally they stopped and took a few deep breaths.

"Are you guys okay?" Joey asked. His face sent them into their fits again, "Was it something I said?"

"No." Julia said between laughs.

"Its not even that funny."

"What was it?" Dylan asked, ever curious.

"Lets just say we were talking about two people who want to have Carribean Study together." Julia admitted finally calming down. The moment she said it Jaime's face went bright red, knowing they were talking about her.

A/N- I hope this seemed normal. It felt weird writing. I don't know why. I'm super excited for Glee on Thursday! Klaine forever 3! Tell me if there's a particular couple you think I should include more. I feel like this is becoming my other story (When Life Gets Too Hard) and I really don't want that. So, review!
