Maria won't be happy with this new developement lol.
~*~*~Maria~*~*~
I flop into the car shutting the door I stare out the window not paying any attention to the people in my car...
They obviously don't understand that I don't like people, especially people I hardly know driving my car. Max was different I would have let him because I trust that he wouldn't ruin my car.. But I don't trust people who tell me what to do and force me not to drive...
It's my car, I am perfectly fine, my ankle hurts, and my head and stomach hurt but there is nothing wrong with my eyes so I can drive.
I cross my arms and continue to stare out the window.. Let them get lost... They don't need my help they're just making up excuses.

Whoa! Liz snaps?!?!
<center>~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ Liz’s Part ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~</center>
“Maria, what’s the next turn?” I ask her as I continue to follow what she said last. What I did not expect was my question to be greeted by nothing but silence. “This is great. Just what I need. Maria, if you want to be childish about this and act younger than me, fine.” I pull the car over. “Max, can’t drive, and I doubt you will let Tess drive.
“I have just about had it. I am trying to appease everyone and get us all to work on time, but I am past it right now. If you want to drive, fine with me, the two of them can talk you out of it, but I am not going argue with you. I am not going to be in a car with you behind the wheel, either. You can’t walk, let alone balance on your own feet, and you seem to think that you can control a car! Go ahead. Drive. And you are sure to sprain your ankle by applying any undo pressure to it, which driving will do. I am going to get a cab, or walk to the office.
“See you there,” I toss over my shoulder as I get out of the car and walk over to the sidewalk, proceeding to suit actions to words as I walk down the street.

What just happened? Liz is out of the car, heading for the sidewalk? I drop the ice and jump out of the car, trusting Tess to keep Maria from getting behind the wheel. Isabel and Kyle have pulled up behind the Jetta, but Liz is walking away from them.
"Hey, wait up!" I call. She looks over her shoulder and stops when she sees me coming after her.
"Don't walk off," I ask her when I catch up a moment later. "We can go in one of the other cars."
"We?" she asks with an arched eyebrow.
I laugh. "I'm not going to ride with Maria behind the wheel, either. Not in her condition. I'd rather drive myself." Looking behind us, I see that Maria and Tess are arguing at the side of the road. I hope that Tess wins, or if she doesn't, that she'll stay out of the car with Maria.
"Max, you can't drive. You can't see!" Liz says.
I carefully touch the left side of my face. It's damp and cool from the ice. It's puffy and it hurts, but it's not quite swollen shut. I bet it looks horrible. "I can see enough to drive, if I had to, but I'd much rather ride. There's room for both of us in the van. Tess too."
She looks worried at that. "You can not ride with Alex."
I give her a half-smile, shaking my head. "I'm not going to hurt him, Liz."
"But what if he tries to hurt you, ... again?"
"You'll protect me," I laugh. "Or maybe Tess has talked some sense into Maria and we can go back there." Isabel would probably let me ride with her, too, I think. But as we turn around, I see the silver convertable pull away from the curb. Obviously, she's decided to go ahead without us. Tess and Maria are still arguing, and Kyle has joined them. Maria is trying to grab Kyle's arm, and I realize that he's acquired the Jetta keys. Good. At least she's not going to be driving away, too.
"Come on. Let's go sort this out. I think it'll be quicker than finding a cab."

Why did he have to come after me? Why? I am starting to think that the fact that he has the ability to change my mind with a few words is very disconcerting. He shouldn’t be able to do that. He shouldn’t. I have my own willpower, and if I want to get as far away from Maria and her silly, childish ways, I will. I have been around people who have been hungover before. But Maria’s inability to see that she is not in the state to drive is something I have never seen before.
I can do what I want. And I am not going to be waiting here. To reason with a two-year-old in a twenty-something-year-old woman. That is not what I signed up for. And this does not look that much faster than calling a cab. Getting in the van and taking it, that is faster than the cab.
“Max, I am not waiting around to talk sense into someone that has so out of touch with reality that she is verging on psychotic. Isabel had the right idea,” I tell him after seeing the way Kyle and Tess are talking with Maria.
“Kyle!” I shout to him to be heard over Maria’s tantrum. “Give me the keys to the van,” I said as I walked over to him. He handed them over to me without argument. “I did not sign up for this show, but I did not accept the offer because I was told that I was going to be a babysitter. If anyone else wants to go to work right now and stop reasoning with a small, sulking child in a temper tantrum over a “toy,” you can join me. If Maria is completely irrational and so vehemently wishes to be the only one to driver of her car, then so be it.
“I am not a babysitter, and I am not going to babysit her. She is old enough to make her own decisions. I will not stop her. We have all given her our opinions and advice. I’m leaving with Alex and Michael. Any of you are welcome to join us in the van,” I said, but before I left I added something more for anyone who would be with Max.
“And watch out for Max. His depth perception is slightly off.” I don’t know if he knew that I noticed, but I did. I saw that he only narrowly missed hitting the lamppost on the sidewalk.
After saying that last statement I walked over to the van. I was going to wait a couple minutes to see if anyone made the move to come over and get to the office with us.
“And Alex,” I tell him as I turn in the driver’s seat. “If Max gets in the van, don’t you say or do anything to him. I don’t want you getting kicked off the show because of bad behavior. I’d miss you too much,” I add with a small smile.

Liz just walks off, leaving me at the side of the road. I can't believe she did that. Didn't I already tell her that I was planning to go ride in the van with her and the others? I'm certainly not going to wait here on the sidewalk and miss work. Not after trying so hard to get everyone moving this morning.
And what was that crack about my depth perception? I mean, yeah, it probably is a little off since I have only one fully functional eye, but I could drive in an emergency. Fortunately, this isn't one. At least, not yet. I already told Liz that I didn't want to drive.
"Kyle, maybe you should just lock it up and we can come back for it later. We can all just go in the van," I suggest as I walk to the car. He's still trying to evade Maria and I'm not sure he even heard me. I suppose I should be jumping in, but the two of them seem to getting things under some sort of control.
I go back to the van and open the side door. Michael is riding shotgun and Alex is in the first seat, staring straight ahead. I climb in without a word and head for the back seat. I hope the others are coming, but I guess that all depends on Maria. At the very least, I hope Tess joins us.
With a sigh, I sit back and wait to see what's going to happen next.

“Everyone, outside.” Liz orders “We are leaving now.”
Well, I never thought I would hear Liz shout but you know they always say that it’s the quite ones you have you have to watch out for. I bet Liz is one of those dominatrix types who is into bondage and whips and other stuff like that!
I watch as Max, Tess, Maria and Liz all get into Maria’s heap of junk aka her car. Maria doesn’t look too happy, I guess she is like me in a way, she doesn’t like anyone driving her car although why she would care I really don’t know. I mean I think it might be a good idea for someone to take that Jetta to the junkyard. It seems like the only right thing to do!
I’m so glad that I don’t have to have anyone in my car, I’m beyond glad. God I can’t bear to think what it would have been like to be stuck in a car with any of those guys. What if they had of touched something and broke it or got dirty finger marks of my windows.
I get into my car and can’t help but sigh as I sit behind the wheel. Its like being home from home. Talking about home I wonder how everybody is doing.
Ring! Ring!
I hit the speaker button “Hello?”
“Iz-o-bel”
“Kathryn!” I say warmly
“You are looking incredible this morning sweetie. Red is so your color!”
“Isn’t it just!”
“You should of seen Joshua when we were watching the show yesterday. He had to leave the room several times to uh release some tension if you get what I mean!” Kathryn snorts “Its so sweet! When do you think he’s going to get over his thing for you?”
Joshua, one of my best friends who has a secret crush on me that everybody knows about but pretend they don’t. I completely adore Joshua but I could never go out without with him, he’s like the brother I never had or wanted!
“Kathryn!” I whine, it’s a subject I don’t like talking about at all.
“Izzy! He was like madly jealous when he saw who you would be sharing a house with! Me and the girls and to wipe the drool from our chins. I mean damn you are on lucky girl sharing a house with all that man meat!”
“I guess!”
“You guess? You guess? Isabel there is nothing to guess about. Can you get me Michael’s phone number? Screw that I’m coming to town and I’m getting it myself. You know last night when he was all wet and I nearly fainted and what were you doing? Screaming about your carpet! That’s what you were doing! One question are you blind?”
“Well duh of course I’m not blind, I totally took in the whole Wet! Michael! But in case you missed it someone was in my bed!” I point out
“Sweetie I did not miss a thing. For example I know that you are dying to talk about Jake! That guy you met in the club last night!”
Damn she knows me too well! “What did you think?”
“Damn Isabel that boy is on F-I-R-E not only do you live with gorgeous guys but you are going on a date with one as well. Jealous is my middle name! Hold on a sec!” Kathryn says and I can hear her talking to someone in the background “Ok I gotta go, I got a shoot in an hour although its going to be no fun without you!”
“Aww ok, miss you!” I state
“Well duh of course you miss me, I’m Kathryn everybody misses me! I miss you too! Speak to you later! Have fun tonight! Remember I want details! Love you!”
“I love you too!”
“Bye!” Kathryn says and I hear her blow a kiss down the phone
“Bye!” I say smiling as Kathryn puts down the phone!
God, its hasn't even been a week and I already miss everyone like mad. I hit the radio on and Jennifer Lopez blasts out of the speakers.
I sing along with the music,
I met so many men and
It's like their all the same
My appetite for lovin'
Is now my hunger pain
And when I'm feelin' sexy
Who's gonna come for me
My only problem is
Their insecurity
Cause I'm real
(The way you walk, the way you move, the way you talk)
Cause I'm real
(The way you stare, the way you look, your style, your hair)
Cause I'm real
(The way you smile, the way you smell, it drives me wild)
Cause I'm real
And I can't go on without you
I listen to Ja Rule’s part and watch the Jetta in front of me.
Girl, I've been thinkin' bout this relationship
And I wanna know is this as good as it gets
Cause we've been through the worst times and the best times
But it was our time, even if it was part-time
My baby lookin' at me, smilin' at me, laughin' like we wasn't happy
But not knowin', ever growin' and we're gettin' married
Hard lovin' and straight thuggin'
Bitch, I ain't doin' this shit for nuttin'
I'm here to get it poppin', hoppin, let's ride up in the Benz
Hair blowin' in the wind, sun glistenin' off my skin, hey
I'm nasty, heh, you know me
But you still don't fuck with your baby
I wonder what's going on in front, looks like Liz is slowly down. I watch as Liz brings the car to a stop and gets out. Max runs after her.
Now people lovin' me and hatin' me, treatin' me ungratefully
But not knowin' that they ain't makin' or breakin' me
My life I live it to the limit and I love it
Now I can breathe again, baby, now I can breathe again
I hum along with the music as I start to park my car behind Maria’s.
“Hey what’s going on?” I ask walking towards Maria’s car. I ignore the sound of car horns and the odd shout I get from deluded men that think they would ever have a chance with me!
“Liz just snapped for no reason!” Maria says and I raise an eyebrow. Liz doesn’t seem like the type of person that just snaps for no reason!
“Maria wasn’t being too helpful with directions!” Tess says
“Ah!” I say and look across the street where Max and Liz are.
“Hey why did we stop?” Kyle asks as him and Michael get out of the van.
“Maria was acting like a five year old and pushed Liz over the edge!” I state much to the protest of Maria. I’m not going to sugar coat the truth for anyone.
“You know, Daddy always makes people work through their lunch breaks when they are late. I have a date so there’s no way I’m being late! You guys sort this out and I see you there!” I state and walk back to my car.
“Isabel you can’t just leave us here!” Kyle says and I smile at him
“I can and I am!” I state getting in my car.
Ok so where am I meant to go again? Maybe this wasn’t my best idea. I have like no idea where I am meant to be going.
I hit speed dial. Jimmy will know how to get there. Jimmy knows everything.
"Hello," Jimmy answers on the second ring. He must be so bored without me to protect.
"Jimmy, its Isabel. I'm lost and don't know where to go!" I say
"Where are you going and where are you now?" he asks and I tell him. I listen as he tells me where to go.
I wonder how long the others are going to be.
"Jimmy, you are the best!" I state as I pull into the parking lot of the radio station.
"Take care Isabel and you know where I'm if you need me!" Jimmy says
"Thanks bye!" I say hanging up the phone. I get out of the car and walk to the front of the building where I wait for the others to catch up, if they aren't here in a minute then I am going in without them!
“Everyone, outside.” Liz orders “We are leaving now.”

Ruby and me have something worked out.
~*~*~Maria~*~*~
I watch as Liz leaves the car... Good for her, then Max runs after her...
I roll my eyes does anyone care why I don't like people driving my car? Of course not, they just push me around I am perfectly capable of driving and well I don't care if they don't think so.
Turning to Kyle "Give me the keys please."
"No." He says.
I roll my eyes "Fine you can drive." I tell him and he gives me a funny look like I'd ever give in that easily. Reaching for his hand I grab snatch them up.
"Either I'm driving or no one is... So I suggest if you don't trust me driving to get out." I tell him once I've seen that Tess hopped out.
"It's your funneral." He mutters and gets out.
"Whatever." I mutter and start the engine. I don't need everyone acting like I'm some stupid little kid. I am not a kid, I'm old enough to know if I want to risk driving and if they had let me tell them that I wanted to take a cab they wouldn't be having this problem.
Picking up my cell phone I ring Lilly.
"hello?" She answers.
"Lilly?"
"Maria?'
"Yeah.."
"What's up?"
"Nothing just keep talking to me my head hurts and I'm driving."
"Why?"
"Cause my roommates dislike me and decided they had to drive moms car."
"Oh, I'm sorry!" She tells me and I smile.
"Yeah I'm fine." I tell her taking a deep breath as I get closer to the station.
"Well just wanted to say hey I gotta go i'm at work."
I pull up and get out noticing Isabel standing there.
"I made it."
~*~*~Maria~*~*~
I watch as Liz leaves the car... Good for her, then Max runs after her...
I roll my eyes does anyone care why I don't like people driving my car? Of course not, they just push me around I am perfectly capable of driving and well I don't care if they don't think so.
Turning to Kyle "Give me the keys please."
"No." He says.

(Ok, sorry I haven't posted lately! Wow, there's a lot to catch up on! )
*Tess*
Ok, what the hell just happened? Why did Alex just hit Max? I want to go over there to make sure he's all right, but Isabel drags him into the kitchen and puts ice on the eye. Max is really going to have a bruise after this one! We all give Alex "What the hell was that all about" looks, to which Alex suddenly looks really sheepish.
Chaos erupts, but thankfully Liz takes charge. I was just about to but was still too stunned about what just happened. So, anyway, Liz gives the orders about who's driving and riding with whom. Max and I sit in the back of Maria's car, and Max comments to me teasingly, "Man, if I'd known this was going to get physical, I'd have tried out for American Gladiator!" We share a laugh at that. It's a good show, but I'd never actually want to be on that. Physical stuff just isn't my style.
Then it turns out that Maria is refusing to let anyone else drive her car, and we all end up piling out. Onto the side of a road in the middle of nowhere, no less. Ok, so now what?

Everyone pulls over and Kyle follows them. I get out with him to find out what's going on, while Alex grumbles to himself in the van. In a minute, it's clear that it's just some stupid tiff between Liz and Maria. I thought Liz was the one who was all hot and bothered about getting to work on time, and here she is holding us all up?
Annoyed, I get back in the van. Kyle stays, grabbing the car keys from the ignition and keeping them from Maria. Isabel drives off.
"What's up?" Alex asks, but it doesn't sound like he really cares.
"Some stupid arguement about the directions, I think." I roll my eyes. Alex smiles. In a few minutes Liz gets in the van and sits in the driver's seat. I glare at her, just because I'm feeling all annoyed and angry and hey, she's there.
She immediately turns and starts lecturing to Alex about how to behave towards Max, if he gets in the van. What is this, musical chairs? A moment later, Max does get in the van. He goes and sits in the back with out talking to any of us. What a jerk.
"So what are we waiting for?" I ask her as Kyle continues his game of keep-away with Maria.
"Just waiting to see if anyone-else will be joining us." She looks around. "Does someone here have directions?"
"Yeah," I tell her, nodding towards the dash. Kyle's copy is still sitting there.
"Okay, then," she says.
I'm in no hurry to get to work, but waiting at the side of the road is pointless. I get out again to see if I can get Tess, Maria and Kyle to figure out what they're doing.
"Either I'm driving or no one is... So I suggest if you don't trust me driving to get out," Maria tells them. Yeah, I'm thinking. The Jetta's not a great car but it's better than the stupid van.
"It's your funeral," Kyle says, shaking his head.
"I'll go with you," I say, grinning. The girl has spunk. Maybe too much spunk. She's in the car and driving off before I can open the door.
Tess and Kyle look at me. "You must be nuts if you're willing to ride with her," Kyle tells me.
"I don't care who I'm riding with, as long as I'm not standing around waiting anymore at the side of the road in the middle of nowhere. You comin' or we leavin' without you?" I get in the van and they both follow. "Let's get out of here already," I tell Liz. She nods and starts up the car.

Isabel
“Where are the others?” I ask as Maria walks towards me. She shrugs in respond and stands beside me “So they just let you drive off by yourself!” I ask raising an eyebrow in disbelief
“Nobody let’s me to anything! I can do whatever I want! Its my car and if I want to drive it then I will. How would you like it if someone you barely knew told you that you couldn’t drive your own god damn car and that they would instead?” Maria rants
“Yeah but I drive a Titanium silver metallic 2004 325Ci BMW Convertible. Do you have any idea how much my car is worth? And that’s not including all my belongings, I mean I bet the contains of my make up bag is worth more then your car. And anyway you drive a Jetta! There is a big different! A very big different!” I point out
“I wouldn’t part with my Jetta for all the BMWs in the world!” Maria states
“More fool you then!” I snort
“Look Isabel, I doubt a princess like you would even understand how much that jetta means to me, I mean I bet every time you want something you just go crying to mommy and daddy” Maria says her eyes flashing with anger
“You don’t even know me!” I say coldly
“Ditto! So don’t try and judge me!” Maria says just as coldly
“Fine then!” I say folding my arms across my chest “Tell me what’s so great about your Jetta!”
“You wouldn’t understand!” Maria sighs
“Try me!”
“My mom gave it to me ok?” Maria says simply
A image of my own mother flashes before my eyes. Her long hair the color of the sun, her soft brown eyes always full of love and warm, her voice as gently as spring rain, her hands tender as they stroked my hair.
“I understand!” I whisper touching the locket around my neck “My mom gave me my locket when I was younger, I never take it off if I can help it!”
“So how would you like it if someone wore your necklace without asking?” Maria asks
“I would be pissed!” I state, big understatement
“Well that’s how I feel!” Maria sighs
“I think we might have gotten off on the wrong foot yesterday” I state
“I think you might be right” Maria agrees
“I’m Isabel Anderson!” I say with a smile
“Maria Deluca” Maria smiles as she shakes my hand.
