I did a little extra research and from what I've read Darren and Julia dated briefly between 08-09. For the purpose of this story its going to be 07-08 just because it's hard to find exact dates for them anyway. And if I have them dating earlier their cute friendship has more time to blossom. Ya get me? Anyway here's chapter 5, starting with their breakup.

October 7, 2008

Julia had her rolled up script in her hand as she was pacing the isles of the Walgreen's Drama Center. Opening night of The Last Days of Judas Iscariot was in two days and this whole production was a mess. She didn't know what she got herself into when she decided to direct this.

"Joey!" she yelled. "I told you three days ago I want you to exit stage left not right. You nearly knocked Lauren over!"

"Julia I'm sorry…I forgot." At 19 Joey had only been at UMich a year and he still wasn't use to the stress everyone usually caused Julia, and how Julia reacted to it. '"I'll make sure it doesn't happen again."

"Good. Where's Darren!?" Julia looked down at her watch.

"He's not here yet…" Devin replied looking down at her feet.

"He's two hours late! Does anyone understand that opening night is on Thursday? Does anyone care about that?!" Julia threw the script on the ground and ran up the stairs onto the stage.

Moments later Darren sauntered onto the stage like he was right on time. "Hey babe." Darren said walking up to Julia to give his girlfriend a kiss.

"No." she put her finger up against his lips. "Do NOT 'hey babe' me Darren. You are two HOURS late. Do you even understand the concept of time?! I can't run through my show when my Judas is not here!"

"I'm sorry. I had a thing." Darren replied coolly.

"Yeah Darren. You did have a thing. Your thing was to be here. Two hours ago! I am stressed enough as it is and you being 120 minutes late is not making this easier for me!"

"Jules, it wont happen again." He reached out to place his hand on his girlfriends shoulder but she pulled away.

"Darren! This is the third time this week you're late, twelfth time this month. You'd think if you loved me like you say you do you'd be on time for this. This is really important to me Darren. I don't know why you can't understand that."

"Julia, can we not do this now…" Darren looked around the theater and all of their friends just stood around motionless, afraid to hear what Julia could possibly say next.

"When do you want to do this Darren? When it's convenient for you? The world doesn't revolve around you Darren." Tears started to form in Julia's eyes. She couldn't do this anymore. She couldn't deal with him being late, forgetting his lines, and then kissing her like he did nothing wrong. Dating Darren Criss was physically and emotionally exhausting. She finally threw her hands up in the air in defeat. "I'm done. We're over."

And with that Julia turned her heel and walked out of the auditorium without looking back. She didn't notice it then, but she had just made the biggest mistake of her life.

Okay, so I know this chapter is really short, it's because I felt like it was a good place to stop, and their breakup kind of deserved it's own little chapter. But fear not. This is not the last you'll see of their breakup. The next four-five chapters are going to be the sameish events you have just seen in the first five chapters but they're going to be from Darren's point of view. Starting with Joey telling him about Julia. These chapters are probably going to be short, so they'll all be up pretty fast. And then FINALLY, after Darren's POV you will get the moment I know you're all waiting for. JULIA IS GOING TO TELL DARREN. I'm really excited for that chapter. Anyway, if you're lucky more chapters will be up today. If not, until next time.
