It turns out Lauren is going through the same thing that I went through a few weeks ago...except her test results were positive. She's freaked out. Alex doesn't know and her parents don't know. Josh is flying in so that he can help her break the news to her parents.

She stayed with me last night, but she and Josh will be staying at Jason's tonight. Josh's flight is getting in around dinner time so I'm going to take Lauren up to Newark to pick him up. She was lucky that he had a long weekend and was able to come home.

Right now Lauren's asleep. I've canceled my plans for the day. I figured I'll just try to keep her mind off of things. I might take her to Point Pleasant for lunch. The ocean and the salt air might do her some good.
