	Tasha hit the steering wheel of her PT Cruiser with the palm of her hand as she sat there frustrated as hell and pretty much at her wits end. Normally she would have felt bad for knocking Claire on her rear-end in a fit of rage like that but right then she didn't. Sure Claire was known for pushing someone's buttons and going too far but normally that didn't end with Tasha cold cocking her right in face. Today it had but Tasha was at her wits end. Everything that could go wrong lately was, in all respects, and she really couldn't deal with Claire and her brazen attitude right then. She really couldn't take much right then. She felt as if she trying to keep from falling over the edge of a cliff and this whole group trip was not making things easier. Sure she wanted to relax and have some fun but a lot of the group didn't get along these day; well at least one was still an issue and Tas didn't know if she had it in her to keep things calm right now; in fact she was more in the category of more likely to start stuff than stop it. 

	Taking a deep breath, she tried to calm herself. She knew how much this trip meant to everyone, especially Connor. Which was funny since it was Nat's late birthday present but he had been the one to foot the bill for everyone, it was his plan, his idea and now that it was finally happening the last thing she wanted to do was cause even more problems for her friend. Even though he was with Eva now and they were no longer doing the whole Netflix and Chill thing she still adored Connor in many ways. He was one of her closer friends and they still hung out. She was even warming up to Eva and happy for the both of them. It was nice seeing Connor coming out of his anti-relationship shell and Eva was the reason for that. She respected the girl for making him happy. 

	Hearing her phone go off she cringed, she really didn't want to talk to anyone right then and she half figured it was Claire trying to either make amends for pushing Tasha over the line or to bitch at her some more. Pulling it out she unlocked the screen and perked a brow when she saw who it was from; Alex.

[color=585996]Can I ride with you?[/color][/center]


	Well that was unexpected. She sat there pondering if she invite him to join her for the ride out to Disneyland. On one hand she really needed some time to herself but perhaps she had had a bit too much alone time over the last few days. Alex was new to the group and wasn't privy to as much of the drama that had occurred lately as she had been. Plus, did she really want to drive the whole way by herself and let her mind wander to Sam? That entire ordeal still stung. Taking a deep breath she sent him a text back.

Yeah, more than welcome to. I'm in the Blue PT Cruiser in the parking lot. Ready when you are.[/color][/center]

	She hit send and slipped her phone into its charging station attached to her console before plugging it into her stereo system. She would rather have a play list than deal with what ever multitude of radio stations they may have to deal with during the four hour drive. Leaning back in her seat she pursed her lips. She wasn't planning on any small talk during the trip but she really didn't know anything about Alex, so it was really all they had to start. Oh well, small talk was better than deep meaningful talk right then. She had had enough of that lately.
