"What do you mean he's gone?" Alex asked Connor.
"Exactly what I just said" Connor replied. "He left a note saying he had to leave for a while and now he's gone. I have no idea where he is."
Alex rolled his eyes.
"Connor every time someone in our friend group is upset where do we go?" Alex asked.
Connor shrugged his shoulders.
"New York" both Daria and Taylor said.
"That's right" Alex said. "New York. I went there when I was having trouble. So did Jude. And then Leo did. So I'm guessing Jude needed a break after losing Stef. Just give him some time."
"I have to find him" Connor said.
"Connor you can't go after Jude" Alex said. "It's a bad idea. He needs to figure this out on his own."
"How would you know?" Connor snapped. "Don't try and tell me what's best for MY husband. Just shut the hell up."
Alex rolled his eyes.
"What is your problem?" Alex snapped. "Are you on your man period or something?"
"Screw you" Connor snapped. "You have no idea what me or Jude are going through!"
"Right" Alex snapped. "I know exactly what he's going through. I lost Danni.."
"Oh my god shut up about that dead bitch!" Connor snapped. "She's been dead forever so let it go!"
Alex stared at Connor.
"What did you just say?" Alex asked.
"Guys stop!" Taylor snapped. "Were all a little upset here."
"Yeah" Alex said. "I think I better go."
"Alex.." Taylor tried.
"You know what Connor" Alex smiled. "Jude had wanted to leave you for weeks. And he finally did and I don't blame him one bit. Your an asshole." Alex smiled and Connor stared at Alex shocked. "Have a nice day, Connor."
Alex stomped out.
"What's he talking about?" Connor asked.
"I have to go" Daria said.
Daria got up and walked out. Connor looked at Taylor.
"Well?"
"He.." Taylor tried. "He doesn't want to be married anymore."
At the beach, Jamie sat with Mitch.
"I can't believe Chad is actually dating her over you" Mitch said. "I mean what is he thinking? Look at her and look at you. Your hot compared to her."
Jamie blushed.
"You really think so?" Jamie asked.
"Trust me" Mitch said winking. "Chad is such an idiot. I would have chosen you."
"Really?" Jamie flirted.
"Trust me" Mitch winked.
Mitch leaned in to Jamie but they were interrupted by Ashlyn.
"Guys this is Grant" Ashlyn said. "My new hottie."
"Oh hey" Jamie said.
The two joined them and Jamie and Mitch exchanged looks.
Alex sat next to Brandon across from Gail.
"I'm so glad you picked us" Alex said.
Gail smiled.
"I have two gay dads" Gail said. "So I after looking over you both I knew you were the perfect choice."
"So your a senior at Anchor Beach?" Alex asked.
"I was" Gail said. "I just graduated. I start college in the fall. The baby should be here pretty soon. Another week or two and you'll be parents."
"I can't wait" Brandon smiled.
"May I ask what you want to name her?" Gail asked. "Or have you not picked a name yet?"
"We have a first name" Brandon said. "Stephanie. It's after my mother who just passed."
"Oh I'm so sorry" Gail said.
Brandon nodded.
That night, Daria and Ava watched TV together.
"So what's with you and Taylor?" Ava asked. "Lately all you two have done is argue it seems like."
"She just acts like I have to agree with her 24/7" Daria said. "Like she wants me to take her and Jude's side during an argument between Jude and Alex. And I never do. I always take Alex's side."
"Me and Peter try to stay out of it" Ava said. "Too much drama for me to handle."
Daria laughed.
"We all can be dramatic" Daria said.
"Yeah" Ava laughed. "You and Taylor are going to be okay right?"
"I hope so" Daria said. "But I don't know anymore."
"But your Daria and Taylor" Ava said. "You two have been together since high school. You two have been in love for years. At least that's what you two keep bragging about."
Daria laughed.
"Yeah but sometimes things that have become broken" Daria responded. "Stay broken. And can't be repaired."
Connor picked up his phone and tried to call Jude.
"Hello?"
"Jude baby is that you?"
"No" a familiar voice said. "It's Jonas. Remember me?"
Jonas laughed.
"Where's Jude?" Connor asked worried.
"He's in the shower" Jonas said smiling. "I'll let him know you called. But he has me here so he probably won't even care."
Jonas hung up and Connor looked worried. Did Jude sleep with Jonas?
