[sub][b]Location:[/b] Her house ----> Lala's house
[b]Interacting With:[/b] Audrey Huntsberg (NPC), Girls present at Lala's house[/sub][hr][/center]
Delilah Duclerc’s day started much earlier than she would have liked on her first day of winter break. She’d been fast asleep when her phone chimed, signaling the arrival of a new text message. The tiny brunette had made her mind to ignore it and simply go back to sleep when yet another incoming message made her phone chime. Sleepily, she grabbed her phone from her nightstand, unlocked it, and shot up. This was a family emergency, because why else would LA-based Audrey Huntsberg would be messaging her at this time of day? Delilah’s older cousin wasn’t the type to pester anyone with her problems -much less at this time of day-, so there had to be a very big reason for her urgent messages. The two had been as close as sisters since they were children, re was bound to be some Audrey drama behind all of this... And Audrey drama was [i]much[/i] more eventful than the most popular soap opera or teen drama series you could think of.
 
And so, after making sure she didn’t look as bad as she felt on the inside, Lila took a seat by her desk, turned on her MacBook and made the FaceTime call. She stared at the screen while the call connected, taking in her messy bun, the shadow of dark circles under a pair of green eyes, and even the small kool-aid stain on her pajama top. At about the third ring, another face came into view: that of a woman who looked just the slightest bit older than Delilah. She had layered dark brown waves that fell past her shoulders and out of sight, a flawless olive complexion, full lips and a pair of chocolate brown eyes capable of staring all the way down to your soul. Her resting bitch face softened and broke into a small smile at the sight of her younger cousin.
 
[color=magenta]“Hey, Lila-boo.”[/color] the young woman greeted Delilah, winking and throwing a kiss at the camera. 
 
[color=purple]“Hey, Audrey-bear!”[/color] Lila greeted back, waving a hand to say hello. 
 
Audrey’s expression changed from one slightly happy to a distraught and slightly sad one. [color=magenta]“Lils, I’m so sorry to bother you so early, hun. I just needed to get something off my chest, like, [i]now[/i].”[/color]
 
Worry was now visible in Lila’s face. [color=purple]“That’s okay, Auby. That’s what I’m here for. Now… What’s bothering you?”[/color]
 
Audrey hesitated for a second, closing her eyes and taking a few deep breaths as of preparing herself to say something . A few long seconds passed until she finally said: [color=magenta]“I’m dumping Alexandros.”[/color]
 
Delilah’s eyes widened, and she covered her gaping mouth with her hand for a second before bursting out. [color=purple]“What?!”[/color]
 
[color=magenta]“Yep, you heard right. I’m kicking that fucker’s ass to the curve.”[/color] Even when she had said this cooly, the shadow of tears were visible on her brown eyes.
 
Delilah bit her bottom lip in concern, but she was not feeling particularly surprised at this turn of events. [url=https://media1.popsugar-assets.com/files/thumbor/nd8U2ygBl9Z9wjAJBjtgTjkAPvA/fit-in/1024x1024/filters:format_auto-!!-:strip_icc-!!-/2016/06/03/773/n/1922398/024500889a8292c7_smile5/i/I-Just-Realized-Im-Love-You-Smile.gif]Alexandros Mossos[/url] was Audrey’s boyfriend (or shall she say [i]ex[/i]-boyfriend now?) of , and the father of their five month-old twins. From the moment her cousin and this man had laid eyes on each other, the best way to describe their feelings was leaning more towards obsession than actual true love. Both of them having big egos and even bigger prides, the first few months of their chase was filled with betrayals, to the point that it soon became a contest on who would hurt the other’s pride the hardest. In the end, Alexandros had been the one to give up, and him and Audrey had briefly dated for two months. Although their relationship was fiery, the pair were happy… Until Audrey caught Alexandros in bed with another woman. 
 
Fast-forward to their senior year of high school. A wealthy friend throwing a beach party, both Alex and Audrey tipsy (and, in all honesty, missing each other to bits), and a handful of private cabanas strewn around the beach… And BAM! One night stand. Eight weeks later, they find out they’re expecting. But the surprises didn’t stop there… Beverly Hills’ most toxic couple were expecting [i]twins[/i]. 
 
At about four months pregnant, Audrey and Alexandros became official. His parents had offered them a wing of their estate, and Audrey had accepted. The parents-to-be had moved in together, and the amount of time spent together had helped strengthen their bond to the point that their relationship was actually based on love, and [i]not[/i] obsession. Two weeks after their high school graduation, Audrey had gone into labor. And after ten excruciating hours the cries of Xander Elliott and Briella Amelié had finally filled the delivery room. 
 
[color=magenta]“I just don’t understand… After the children were born, he’d been so happy with us. He was always showing us off and being nothing but a darling to us,  Which was why I’m struggling to believe this is happening...The fucker never came home last night, and this is the third time he’s gone out without even bothering to tell me.”[/color] Audrey’s mood had visibly changed from sad to angry: her eyes were fire. [color=magenta]“And while he’s out sticking it into some [i]slut[/i], I’m supposed to just play the submissive girlfriend act and not ask any questions while staying home and taking care of our kids?! Nope, not me! He knew very well what he was getting into when he got back with me. He knows I’m not playing around. But it seems that he didn’t learn his lesson the last time I dragged the bitch he was cheating on me with out of his room by the hair and then set fire to his Ferrari.”[/color] 
 
Delilah grimaced, reminded of the now iconic and legendary scene. She could only imagine what Audrey could do now that she had two little ones depending on her. [color=purple]“What are you planning to do this time?”[/color] Leave it to her cousin to come up with some sort of plan to get back at those who crossed her, no matter who they were.
 
Audrey seemed to read what was going through Lila’s mind, and she couldn’t hold back a smile. [color=magenta]“Don’t worry, there will be no scalp-ripping or vehicles set on fire this time around, though a good kick in the balls is very appropriate. I'm merely moving out of here and back to my parents with the kids...”[/color] she said, with the fierce determination that had always defined her. [color=magenta]“Alex’s family have been nothing but welcoming and amazing to me and the kids, but I refuse to live in the house of my soon to be ex-boyfriend.”[/color]
 
Delilah nodded solemnly. [color=purple]“Yeah, makes sense.”[/color] 
 
Audrey gave Lila a small smile now. [color=magenta]“Plus, I've been accepted at UCLA’S business school for the spring term. It’s a shorter distance if I move back home, and I really [i]don't[/i] need the kind of stress and negativity that Alex is giving me in my life right now…”[/color] She trailed off again, her expression looking a bit less sad now. [color=magenta]“They've got a daycare center on campus too, so I don't have to worry about the kids while I'm in classes and I can drop by to check on them whenever I want.”[/color]
 
Delilah gave her cousin a glowing smile while excitedly clapping her hands. [color=purple]“Oooooooh! Congratulations. Audrey-bear!”[/color]
 
Audrey was now visibly cheered up, her face brighter at the thoughts of building a future for herself and her family. [color=magenta]“Thanks, love! I’m super excited about it. Those who say having children at a young age slows you down are fucking liars. In my case, having my kids has only made me want this even more, because it will benefit all of u-.”[/color]  A small cry suddenly erupted from behind Audrey. The young woman glanced back, then gave Lila another bright smile. [color=magenta]“One sec. Duty calls.”[/color] 
 
Delilah nodded, watching with a soft smile as Audrey walked out of the screen. She heard her cousin’s voice, softly talking to someone she couldn’t see. And then Audrey came back holding a [url=http://f.tqn.com/y/multiples/1/S/W/l/boy-girl-matching-twins.jpg]gorgeous, chubby little baby[/url] on each of her arms, both of them a tiny copy of their dad. Briella was on Audrey’s right, wearing cute heart-print pink pajamas, and only distinguishable from the blue pajama-clad Xander on Audrey’s left because of her earrings. 
 
Lila let out a high-pitched squeal. [color=purple]“Oh my God, you guys are sooooo [i]CUTE[/i]! Hi Xan-Xan! Hi Brie-Brie!”[/color] The children stared in awe at the screen for a few seconds, but upon Lilla’s coos and gestures they broke out in wide, toothless smiles. Briella even began to coo back.
 
Audrey, who had stared at the interaction go on happily for a few minutes, eventually spoke up. [color=magenta]“Well, I gotta get going. These two are all smiles now, but give them five more minutes and they’ll be screaming bloody murder. Wouldn’t you, loves?”[/color] she said, that last sentence directed at her kids. She kissed one of their cheeks before turning to Delilah again. [color=magenta]“Thank you so much for listening to me, Lils. It truly means the world to me.”[/color]
 
Delilah smiled again while waving an airy hand. [color=purple]“It’s no problem! That’s what families do for each other.[/color] She directed her attention at the infants again, waving at them. [color=purple]“Bye, babies! Auntie Lila will visit you soon!”[/color]
 
[color=magenta]“Bye, hun! I’ll keep you posted![/color] The beaming faces of Audrey and the babies froze on the screen for a second before shutting off.
 
Still smiling, Lila stood up and made her way back to the bed. Just then, her phone dinged, signaling the arrival of a Facebook messenger notification. She checked to see what it was about, and read that it was Lala inviting the girls to Denver for a pre-dance shopping spree. Lila’s face fell at the mention of the upcoming dance the next day. She was now reminded about how she [i]still[/i] didn’t have a date, but would have to attend nonetheless due to her committee duties. The last thing Lila needed right now was to give into the dark pit of despair that was now consuming her at the thought of attending the dance alone like a damned loser. The logical answer to this was to distract herself, and staying at home was bound to not help with that. And so, Lila decided to get ready, have some breakfast and head to Lala’s for some retail therapy.
 
She arrived at her classmate’s house at 7:50 AM, blessing Audrey for having woken her up early. Otherwise she wouldn’t have read the message on time. [color=purple]“[i]Bonjour, chéries[/i]!”[/color] Delilah said enthusiastically, prancing through the open door. But when her eyes fell on the amount of people at Lala’s house, she stood dumbfounded in her tracks. [color=purple]“Oh, my! I didn’t realize it was this many people!”[/color] she said, letting out a nervous giggle. Although she was a social butterfly, the sight of so many beautiful, wealthy girls made her nervous.
