Taylor entered the teachers lounge with Jude and Stacy.
"What did she say when she asked exactly?" Jude asked Taylor.
"She just asked if we could meet up and talk" Taylor said. "Oh my god. What if she's divorcing me?"
Stacy laughed.
"Your not going to get divorced" Jude said.
"Alex and Connor did" Taylor said. "No offense."
Jude nodded.
"I wonder how Alex is doing in Florida" Jude said. "I wonder if he gets to go to the beach."
"No" Stacy said. "He can't leave the center at all. Not until his time is up. But he can have visitors."
"Yeah Jude let's go visit him" Taylor joked.
"No" Jude laughed. "I'm the last person he wants too visit. So I'm going with a no."
Taylor giggled. Connor entered and joined them.
"So what are we talking about my lovely friends?" Connor asked.
"The famous recovering alcoholic" Jude said. "He seems to be the topic for the day."
Connor nodded.
"So is he not allowed to drink at all?" Connor asked.
"No" Jude said. "He's an alcoholic after all."
"So my Dad wants to have dinner with us tonight" Connor told Jude.
"I'm not too sure about that" Jude told Connor. "He hates me these days."
"Why does Adam hate you?" Stacy asked.
"He was very fond of Alex" Jude said. "And I guess he thinks I broke up their marriage."
"You kinda did" Taylor said. Stacy laughed and they high fived each other.
Taylor enters the cafe and sits down to smile at Daria.
"Hey" Daria said.
"So I'm glad you called" Taylor said. "I missed you."
Daria nodded.
"Me too" Daria said.
"So have you heard from Alex?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah" Daria said. "He's doing better. He thinks it's what he needed. Even though I miss him. It sucks not getting to see him in person everyday."
"Yeah" Taylor said. "So is his crazy bitch phase over with?"
Daria shot Taylor a look.
"Excuse me?" Daria snapped.
"Dar you have to admit he was a little mean" Taylor said. "He was mean to Jude."
"And if you ask me Jude deserved it" Daria snapped.
Taylor rolled her eyes.
"And Jude isn't exactly a saint here either" Daria said. "At least Alex admitted his mistakes and apologized for them. Did Jude ever apologize to Alex for what he did?"
Taylor stares at Daria.
"Yeah didn't think so" Daria snapped.
"Can we stop fighting?" Taylor asked. "I love you. And I'm afraid if we keep on like this I'll lose you forever. And I won't be able to make it without you."
Daria touched Taylor's hand.
"I love you too" Daria said. "And I hate fighting with you. But it'll always be the same. You'll always choose Jude and I'll always choose Alex. How can this marriage even work?"
