"That was Nick's surprise, he gave us 3 plane tickets to Hawaii. So get up! We gotta pack." Julia beamed.
"A whole week and a half in Hawaii, with Brian. Does life get much better?" Brooke said dreamily as she went to go pack.
"I'm not going." Gabby pouted.
Brooke spun around.
"Listen to me Gab, I don't want to see you mopping around, you are going to Hawaii. Come on, love, romance, beaches, moonlight, you and AJ will fall in love. So get off the couch and go pack!" Brooke said placing her hands on her hips.
Gabby grumbled and went to go pack, along with Julia and Brooke.
At 4 am, the girls piled into Gabby's car and headed to the airport. When they got there, they took to escalator to the second floor. Once they got to the top, Julia spotted Nick, Brian and Howie over at one side of the passenger waiting. Julia walked over to Nick and wrapped her arms around him tightly.
"Thank you so much, this is more than we deserve." she said.
"I figured it would be a nice surprise." he said.
She let go of him and set her bags down next to his, he leaned down pretending to help her.
"You know how bad I want to kiss you right now?" Nick whispered.
Julia smirked and mouthed, 'Later on.'
Brian met Brooke in a quick sweet kiss.
"This is going to be so much fun!" Brooke smiled.
Brian kissed her cheek, grabbed her bags and lead her and Gabby over to where Julia, Nick and Howie were.
"When Nick told me his plan, I wanted to come see you, but I had to play along." he smiled.
Gabby dragged herself over and sat down next to Howie. She didn't even bother saying hello to anyone, she figured everyone was mad at her, for what she did to AJ.
"Hey Gab, how ya doing?" Nick said sitting down across from her.
"Peachy keen, doesn't it show?" she said sadly.
"This will all blow over." Nick said moving to sit next to her.
She nodded and Nick looked up to see AJ storming over to where they were sitting.
"What the hell is she doing here?" he demanded.
"AJ, she is everyone'd friend and I invited her along with Brooke and Julia." Nick said standing up.
"She is not coming." AJ said pointing a finger at her rudely.
"Don't treat her like that! You may be angry now but you won't be forever. She is coming, she is my friend." Nick said getting angry.
Gabby just sat there listening to AJ trash her, and Nick stand up for her.
"She has no right to -" AJ started.
"Stop it!" Gabby yelled standing up, "I don't even want to go, Julia is making me. So don't let me phase you."
Gabby walked over and sat down a few seats away from everyone else. Julia sat down near Nick.
"I hope this trip works out." he said sounding exasperated.
Julia looked over at the escalator and saw Kevin walking up with Emily by his side, and she was carrying luggage.
"Well, it will be interesting." she said glaring.
