Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters or this story unfortunately.

P.S. This goes to the chapters before it but I don't know I needed it.

This is a very long one. Sorry. I would think my reviewer: Miss Ditzy I am taking your advice.

Tibby was riding a bus to Kentucky to see her cousins and Aunt. Two of her cousins lived in Kent, Kentucky with their mom. Their dad had died in a car crash five years ago. Tibby didn't go to the funeral because her parents were having her little brother at the same time. (That is what you call the circle of life. When one-person leaves and another comes.) Tibby had not seen her cousins, Caitlin and Dylan, and her Aunt Ashley in seven years. Caitlin was the same age as Tibby, 18, and Dylan had just turned 21!

Tibby thought it was time she go and see her family. All of her friends were off to some place and she wasn't going to be home by herself like the first year of the pants. That year was an exception though because she had met Bailey. But Tibby wasn't going to think about her yet. She wasn't ready right now. She might not ever be ready, who ever is after a death of a friend? Tibby decided to just go to sleep, besides it was a three hour drive and surely wasn't going to be thinking about her friends and family for the next three hours.

Tibby did sleep for three hours until her arrival in Louisville, Kentucky. Her aunt's house was just 3 blocks from the bus stop. When she arrived at the familiar looking suburban brick house, she had seen when she was little, she knocked three times before her aunt had came to the door wearing a purple T-Shirt and blue jeans. "Tabitha! Oh I'm so glad you're here! I was so happy when your mother called and said you were staying with us for two months!! Isn't it just wonderful?!" her aunt was overwhelmed to have her sister's daughter visit over the summer. "Umm…Hi Aunt Ashley. Thanks for letting me stay with you and Caitlin and Dylan. Yes, it is very wonderful, but do you mind calling me Tibby? I don't know if you have forgotten but I don't like the name Tabitha," I tried to smile at my small request but I really hate the name Tabitha. "Of course darlin'. Oh I just love that accent of ya's. It's just so proper, when I hear Alice talkin' on the phone it feels like I'm talkin' to a stranger, not my sister! Ha," Tibby's aunt laughed.

There was a lot of heying and hugging for the next ten minutes as Tibby greeted her familiar relatives. Tibby went upstairs and put her moss green suitcase on the guest bed. She flopped on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. Her cell phone rang. The caller ID said Bee.

"Hey girl," greeted Tibby, wondering what has happened to Bee.

"Hey Tibs. I have had a surprise guest here at Camp Gonna Die," Bee explained.

"Who?"

"Guess. Here is a hint. He broke my heart and loves soccer," Bridget was on the verge of tears. Her voice was shaking.

"Is it Billy or Eric?"

"Both. They are here and I am scared. Really scared. I mean I have no idea what I want to do. If I wanna talk, yell, cry, love, hate. I just don't know. Help me please Tibby."

"I am here for you. All you have to do is be you. Be Bee! Talk to them, one at a time, and let everything out but don't get too into it ok Bee? Ask Billy why he broke up with you and what has he been doing. Just wait for Eric to come to you. We want you to be ok. You have the pants remember that. If they are there we are there, with you."

"Thanks Tibs. You know I love your pep talks. They help a lot. You're right I do have the pants. I forgot about them, I'm gonna put them on and go find Billy."

She hung up and lay back again, just as her phone rang. It was Carmen. Tibby was the Dr. Phil out of the group. Ever since Lena gave up the job when she was the one with the problems.

"Hello?"

"Tibs, I need help. Everybody is calling me and I don't know what to do. You're the phys, what ever that word is. Not me!"

" Physiologist?" Tibby was just thinking the same thing.

"Yeah, whatever. Here is the problem. Have you heard from Bee?"

"Yup. About Billy and Eric?"

"I told her be brave and handle one at a time. That's all I knew to say,"

"That isn't all. Lena has guy trouble too. Kostos is here. In our room. We went to the university of London and she went to the bathroom and he was there and she came out and she PASSED out Tibby! And he is still here. And she just woke up. What do I do?" Carmen was talking so fast I thought any minute now she would go Spanish on me. (She does every time something crazy happens.)

Tibby couldn't believe what she had just heard. I mean this Kostos guy had ruined Lena's life, now that her life was getting back together he was there again. Tibby was just glad that Carmen was there to help her.

"Umm…Just let them talk. But whatever you do don't leave them more than an hour, if you do check on them. If she is crying hysterically go out there with her. They need to talk though. She needs to get on with her life and she can't if they don't talk." That was the only advice Tibby had.

"Ok. Thanks Tibster. You are a lot of help. Trust me I'll take care of our Lena." Carmen hung up.

Tibby went out to the kitchen and started talking to Caitlin and Dylan while thinking of her friends who were in trouble.

I hope you all like this chapter. I am so sorry it took so long. R&R I thank all my reviewers. It feels so good to know people read and like your story!
