Wow! Big thanks to all the people who have reviewed positively for the story! Sorry for not updating recently. I will right now. =)

After about three hours, Beck (Yes, he was behind the wheel now-to much of Jade's relief) drove over the Seaside bridge. He turned his head to face his girlfriend who was talking (more like occupying) to Cat. "Text your sister and tell her we're here." he said, before turning quickly back to the road. Ever since they got in Jersey, the ride has been crazy. The drivers were just pure nuts.

Jade nodded and typed away on her PearPhone. "Okay. She texted me back," she said a few seconds later, "Meet her in front of Karma..." Jade trailed. She had watched Jersey Shore before. She wasn't dumb. Karma was the name of the nightclub the gang frequently attends. Now why would her sister be standing in front of there? Beck nodded and was soon in Seaside. However, he had some trouble navigating the streets.

"Dude! That's a one-way road!" exclaimed Andre, watching out the window as the RV swerved around a little green car, whose driver was angrily gesturing and swearing at Beck. Beck swore to himself but just kept cruising down the road. Within seconds, they were pulled over by a cop car. "Just great..." Andre murmured. Beck could be heard talking out the window.

"Sorry, officer. We're from California. Hollywood to be exact. Um, we're just trying to-" The stern officer rudely cut Beck off.

"Boy, I don't care where you're from or why you're out here. All I know is this RV with you as the driver went the wrong way down a one-way street. You could've killed someone!" Beck scoffed, realizing this cop was a tough one to deal with.

"I understand that, sir. I was just explaining why I didn't know there were so many one-way roads." Beck said.

Jade sighed and gestured to Cat and Tori. "Let's go. We'll walk to Karma." The girls exitted the RV and turned to face the cop. "Which way to Karma?" Jade asked firmly. The cop turned around, adjusting his sunglasses.

"Eh? It's a little early to be going to Karma...well, go down to the end of the street, hang a right and go for about five blocks." Jade thanked the cop and hurried down the road, leaving the boys to their law enforcement trouble. The cop sighed and turned back to Beck, "That your girlfriend?" Beck gave him a weird look and said 'yes'. "Huh. Well, I'll give you a ticket for 50 bucks and you're free to go." the cop said, writing up a ticket, getting in his car and pulling away.

Beck exchanged wild looks with Robbie and Andre, saying how lucky he was to have gotten out as easy. "Let's park and then we'll meet up with the girls..." he trailed, hurrying out of the narrow street.

Jade walked down the sidewalk until she saw the blue outline of Karma. A girl with dark hair was sitting miserably on a bench. Once Jade realized it was Liz, she sped up.

"Liz?" The girl's head perked up and her lips formed a somewhat smile. Kinda looked like a grimace but it was somewhat like a smile. She walked over to meet Jade and hugged her around her waist. Jade knew Jenni and Liz's fallout was deep because her little sister was crying. She never cried. The West family saw crying as a form of weakness and...girliness. Jade chuckled, "Liz...why are you crying?"

Tori stood there and put a hand on Cat's shoulder. "Let them have their moment." she ordered calmly. Cat just mumbled a happy 'kk' and stood next to Tori obediently. Tori never saw this side of Jade before. Calm? Nice? Comforting? Compassionate?

Liz sniffled, smiling and wiping a tear away. "Sorry. I was just-sorry." Jade nodded.

"It's alright. Sooo...you mind sitting here and telling me what happened?" Liz said sure and the two girls sat on the bench Liz was just at. Jade looked at the bag of belongings sitting on the ground, her sister's pillow hanging out. Everything Liz carried with her must've been in that bag plus money plus water plus food. She doesn't know how her sister survived the night. But she could kill her older sister. Jade looked at Tori and Cat and beckoned for them to come over. Tori looked relieved to not be standing awkwardly on the sidewalk. "Sit." she told them, on a bench beside the two. "Anyway, tell me what happened between you and Jenni." Jade commanded.

"Okay." Liz nodded and brushed some hair out of her face. "Um, it was just one night. Randomly really. Roger was here. I stayed at home with the MTV producers while Jenni and everyone went out to the club. Then, she came back with Roger and she wanted to smoosh. Uh, obviously." Jade cringed at her sister even talking about events like this. But she let her continue. "I fell asleep on Jenni's bed. They came back and Jenni woke me up to move. I expected that but now I had nowhere to sleep..."

"Where were you sleeping before?" Jade asked.

"In the smoosh room." Jade cringed again at the mere thought. "Yeah, I know. Anyway, long story short. All of the rooms were taken up. I got mad because I was tired and there was nowhere for me to sleep. I guess I got a little bitchy...you know how I get." Jade couldn't agree more to that statement. "Jenni came out all mad and told me to get out."

"What time was it?"

"I don't know...like 4 in the morning." Jade's eyes grew wide and she immediately stood up.

"You just-ugh. Vega, Cat, take my sister up to the Boardwalk. I'm going to talk to Jenni." Liz stood up quickly.

"You don't have to do that! Look, I don't need a confrontation. How about we just kinda unwind and then we can leave tomorrow. Wait...how did you get here?"

"Beck's RV."

"Ah. Well-" Jade cut her sister off.

"No. I'm going. Go with Vega and Cat." Liz tried to butt in but Jade was persistent. "No but's! Just go!" Jade hurried down the road while Liz was led across the street and towards the Boardwalk.
