Chapter 14: Here We Go Again

2 Weeks Later

Lucas and Josie were waiting at the airport. Lucas yawned as he began pacing out of habit. Josie was sitting in an extremely uncomfortable plastic chair. She slid down in her seat, yawning, as she glanced at the clock mounted on the wall.

Corrine had not been feeling well that morning so she had decided to stay behind. She said she had a migraine and of course she knew a simple migraine or headache could lead to another blackout. Marshall, of course, had insisted on staying home with her.

So Josie and Lucas had driven up to the airport at 7:00AM that morning to wait for Vaughn's flight that was scheduled to land at 8:00. He had called earlier that week just to let them know when exactly he would be arriving.

All Josie could think about in the past couple of days was Vaughn and the awkward tension that would return when Vaughn arrived. Her heart still flitted when she thought of him but she began to notice her heart was beginning to do that around Lucas as well.

If only I could just mash that two into one person so that it wouldn't be so confusing and hard to choose!

"Hey, Vaughn!"

Lucas' voice brought Josie back to reality.

"Hey, Lucas! Hey, Josie!"

Vaughn and Lucas clapped each other on the back, what can be more specifically described as a 'guy hug.' Vaughn hugged Josie managing to whisper, "I missed you," in her ear before he pulled back.

"So where are Corrine and Marshall?" asked Vaughn.

"Corrine wasn't feeling too well so she and Marshall stayed behind," replied Josie.

"So, let's get a move on, then!" said Lucas as he helped Vaughn with his luggage.

They headed outside to the Jeep and as Lucas and Vaughn were loading his luggage in the back, Josie hopped into the driver's seat with the keys. She turned on the engine as she closed her door. Lucas and Vaughn looked at each other.

"You don't think…"

"Uh oh," replied Vaughn. And there, of course, in the driver's seat sat Josie, engine on and looking cool and collected.

"Hey guys!" said Josie with a smile.

"Josie, maybe you should let one of us drive…" said Lucas with a look on his face mixed between worry and fear.

"Come on guys! I'm not a horrible driver, I swear! Just because I totaled my mom's car last year doesn't mean anything!"

"Oh, it means a lot," replied Lucas.

"Lucas, maybe we should let Josie drive. Maybe she isn't such a bad driver." Josie beamed at Vaughn sticking up for her. Lucas reluctantly got into the back as Vaughn climbed into the passenger's seat.

"Here we go…" mumbled Lucas as Josie pulled out of the airport's parking lot.


Corrine lay in bed, tossing and turning. Finally giving up, she sighed and lay scrunched up on her side. She had a migraine and had taken some medicine to help it. She knew what a slight migraine was capable of for her.

Sighing, she got up and walked over to the French doors that led to the balcony. She opened them wide open in hopes of a passing breeze. A cool breeze blew through the open doors causing her to shiver, seeing as she was just in shorts and a tank top.

The sound of waves soothed her and soon she was pulled into a trance-like state as her vision was focused on the ever-moving waves. Corrine felt someone drape a robe around her shoulders.

"Thanks," she mumbled without breaking her gaze out at sea. Marshall wrapped his arms around her shoulders.

"You really should be back in bed, resting," said Marshall.

"I'm fine. I'm not on my death bed yet, anyways," snapped Corrine. A hurt look appeared on Marshall's face and he remained quiet. A silence soon hung in the air, only broken by the occasional seagull or the sound of the waves. Marshall finally spoke up.

"You should…get some rest."

He kissed her on the top of her head before leaving her alone on the balcony.


Josie pulled neatly into the driveway and after parking, turned to both Vaughn and Lucas and gave them a look that said I-told-you-so.

They got out of the car and Vaughn looked up at the villa.

"Wow, it's…gorgeous."

He and Lucas carried his stuff up to the front door as Josie unlocked the door.

"Corrine! Marshall! We're back and Vaughn's here!" yelled Josie up the stairs. Marshall was the first to appear at the top of the stairs.

"Hey, Vaughn!" said Marshall as he made his way down the stairs.

"Hey, Marshall!" He and Marshall exchanged a 'guy hug.'

"Where's Corrine?" asked Vaughn.

"She's probably…" started Marshall.

"…Right here!" said Corrine as she came down the stairs, "Hey, Vaughn. How was Italy?" Vaughn hugged Corrine as he looked down at her.

"It was great. How are you?" Corrine pulled back and smiled.

"Um, pretty good so far."

"Oh, here we'll help you get your stuff upstairs," said Marshall as he and Lucas grabbed some of his luggage. Vaughn followed them up the stairs, leaving the girls in the foyer. Corrine gave Josie a secretive smile.

"Caught in the middle again, huh?" Josie rolled her eyes.

"Ugh, don't remind me."


Corrine sat in the kitchen at the island with paper and pen. She was finishing up a letter to her parents. She sat tapping her pen on her lips as the phone rang. The others were outside swimming and chucking sand at each other so she leapt off the stool and picked up the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi, is this Corrine?"

"Yes, this is she."

"Hey, Corrine. This is Brooklyn."

"Hey! How are you?"

"I'm doing well. How are you and your friends?"

"We're doing great."

"Good. Well I wanted to call to invite you guys to a party we're throwing down at the south end of the island. It's going to be at one of my friend's house."

"I don't know…"

"Oh, come on, Corrine! You've declined the past two parties I've invited you and your friends to. It'll be a lot of fun and you guys will get to meet some of the locals." There was silence as Corrine contemplated it.

"Please?" pleaded Brooklyn on the other line.

"Ok," she replied quite reluctantly," so where is it again?"

After getting directions and information she said good-bye and hung up. She headed outside and stood on the edge of the deck.

"Hey you guys! You up for a party?"

A/N: I know this chapter wasn't as long as 13, but it's more description than actions really. Uh oh, now that Vaughn's here will things get all tense between everyone and crazy? You'll just have to wait and find out! Rate and review!
