BEHIND THE SCENES | Grenoble, Montebeliard, Lavande

beginning | previous | next

As Aubrey sits in the opulent opera house, a wave of self-doubt washes over her. The elegant surroundings, once enchanting, now feel like a gilded cage, amplifying her discomfort and amplifying her insecurities. She can’t shake the feeling that her drastic style transformation has only drawn attention to her perceived inadequacies. Surrounded by the confident glances of others, she wonders if she’ll ever feel at home in this world. Each smile and nod from the crowd feels like a reminder of how far removed she is from their effortless charm, igniting a painful longing for acceptance that seems just out of reach.

transcript below↓↓

Aubrey and Laurie have made it to their seats at the opera house in Grenoble, Lavande. Aubrey is feeling light headed after all of the chaos that was the red carpet. With all of the added attention she is recieveing from the drastic change of her style. She feels uncomfortable in her skin. Not knowing how to navigate the world outside of her comfort zones.

‘how do they live like this’ she thinks.

having watched Laurie shmooze with the other attendees, the public. Making a show of who he was, it was so absurdly fake that she knew deep down. She knew she never really could know him at all.

As they walk to their seats, a suprise awaits them. sitting there looking more comfortable in his body, than aubrey could ever be, was Azrael Hottinguer. [The “best friend” of Laurie]

Unlike the other’s Azriel doesn’t get up to greet his future king. The couple walk over and Aubrey is somehow left in the center of the trio. They boys share a curt introduction as the ballet begins. Things are quiet, things are going well until Azriel moves in closer to Aubrey, and whispers close to her ear.

Az] You’ve seen this before, no?

Au] No this is a first.

Az] Ahh.

Laurie looks over, slightly perplexed. Aubrey can feel his gaze upon her, she ignores it. Quite frankly, she’s over the way Laurie treats her. Her care has flown out the window, and the more Laurie pays attention the better.

Az] … Something’s changed.

Au] It hasn’t.

Az] Did you finally realize what was so clearly in front of your eyes? Are you still denying…

Au] Why are you doing this? Is it to get back at him for something?

Az] (ammused) I’m merely trying to help.

Au] (suspicious) hmm.

The show is finished, the lights are back on. Laurie and Azriel are standing and chatting. Aubrey is still sitting down, very uncomfortable. Laurie has a way of excluding her, of making her feel invisible in the presense of others. As if she is a secret done can divulge, even himself.

The relationship between Azriel and Aubrey is interesting. It’s not one of romance, simply of user and toy. In honesty, Azriel is using her as a pawn, and for a girl who has not experienced the proper love on should recieve from a romantic interest. Aubrey is wary, and doesn’t notice what exactly it all means.

Az] Miss Stuart, you’ve been a lovely companion this evening.

La] You’ve got it confused, she’s mine.

Az] Forgive me, it’s just you haven’t looked at her all evening. One would guess you’re worse than strangers.

Au]…

He leans in and kisses her hand. something that has been a trend for Azriel and Aubrey. Making her flustered, and unable to think properly because (she isn’t used to such affections). Right as they do, a single flash interupts them, a paparazzi member having secured the image of the pair appearing to be more than cozy.

Au]S- Stop.

Az] [chuckling) it happens. they’ll be talking about this for a while, you’ll be relavent for a few more weeks.

Au] (annoyed) You hold yourself in such high regard.

L] (amused laughs)

The scene changes, Caroline and Laurie are sitting around a table. And She smacks a news article onto it. showing her disapproval at the situation.

The Magazine encapsulates Aubrey and Azriels “rendezvous”. A moment that is being taken way more out of context then it should.

C] What is this?

L] They’re just friends.

C] Friends? Laurie… I don’t care about what they are to each other. I care about what people are saying!

C] You can’t tell me this doesn’t look bad.

She is angry as she sips her tea (which she’s been doing all along).

L] (sighs) what do you want me to do about it?

C] Control your-

Caroline is interrupted by the woman who walks into the room. Giselle De La Valliere, walks in. This takes Laurie by suprise, in this state, he doesn’t bother about thinking of Caroline’s reaction. Instead he gets up and kisses her on the cheek like the Lavandish do. He pulls Giselle toward the table, his hand in hers. Caroline watches this, she sips her tea.

L] What are you doing here?

G] um, Her Royal Highness called for me.

L] You did? (to caroline)

C] I did.

L](anxious)… I can’t stay.

C] You told me you were excited for the first course.

L] (chuckling nervously) something came up.

C] that hair better be cut! (she yells after him)

He makes a break for it, leaving giselle behind. stranded alone with his very perceptive sister. Giselle eyes the headline on the table, she says nothing about it.

G] I should go…

C] sit, I’ve still got a lot of tea, I can’t finish it by myself.

(awkward laugh)

…

…

C] So… you and my brother?

G] Yes?

C] … I wasn’t able to attend the last gala at the Museum of Natural History. I heard you accompanied him in my stead.

G] (choked up)

C] Giselle, I hope you haven’t gotten involved with my brother. As you know, he’ll soon be engaged.

G] Engaged?

C] There are many who want to see him wed. Many who want to know our future Queen.

G] …To Ms. Aubrey?

C] (laughing) I haven’t a clue. By all accounts, you, could be a better match. But I dislike such disingenuous ways. I know what you’re after.

…

C] He is whom you should be convincing.

G]…

C] seeing as he’s not… available. You know what would be a terrible thing. You and Laurie are over… and breaking up such a happy relationship… it would be horrible.

G] I’m aware.

C] I’m glad.

deborah (wife of one of james' team mates) invited tamera and another friend giselle out for coffee! their kids are similar in age, so they told tamera about the private school their kids are going to once they age up. naturally tamera had to enroll kimi and kenji into the same private school and ensure their acceptance by making a huge donation 😌

Swan Lake 🦢

As an early Valentine’s Day surprise, Theo reserved two tickets to see the premiere of Swan Lake at the Bavarian State Opera. Principal dancer, Valeria Vishnina, gave a spectacular performance dancing the roles of Odette and Odile. Caroline was deeply moved by Theo’s thoughtful gesture as the last time she attended a ballet was with her brother, a great patron of the arts, before his passing.

Pairing: Best friend!Heeseung x F!reader

Trope: Best friends to lovers, College AU, Teasing, bickering,

Warnings: Includes cursing, mature themes

Featuring: Enhypen ot7, Aespa ot4,

Synopsis: Heeseung is a constant pain in the ass and does nothing but ruin your life and annoy you. But somehow you feel the need to take care of him and make sure he's okay. This dynamic hasn't changed in over 14 years, but a chain of events changes everything you've ever believed in.

🔗 Part 2

Pls keep in mind that this is my first post on Tumblr (I have no clue what im doing)

Feel free to let me know what you think <3

•° `♡` °•

Heeseung cursed out loud as his teammates made him lose yet another round. "For fuck's sake learn how to play!!" He yelled through the mic and scowled, his fingers aggressively typed on the keyboard.

The door to his bedroom flew open as you tiredly plopped down on his bed. Heeseung payed no attention, his eyes glued to the screen.

"Oh come on, how long are you gonna sit there? Aren't you the least bit bothered by the heat?" You said followed by a dramatic sigh.

Ignored.

You let out a groan, finally having enough of your best friend's attitude or lack there of. You quickly unpluged his computer and yanked his headphones off. Heeseung's mouth dropped in an instant. It takes him a second to process what you had done.

Meanwhile you take this chance to run for your life. You knew exactly what you had gotten yourself into. "Oh you're fucking screwed." He muttered to himself and ran out of the room to catch you.

Heeseung is quick on his feet and it doesn't take him long to close the distance between you two. You get into a defensive position, circling the couch and watching his moves carefully.

"You really think you can outrun me?" Heeseung taunted as you threw a pillow at him. Before he could react you threw another and bolted back upstairs to his room.

By the time he ran through the door you were standing on his bed, a slipper in hand ready to attack. He chuckled in amusement and caught his breath. You had to stop yourself from screaming as he jumped on the bed and grabbed you by the wrist.

You two battled for the slipper, as he pinched your side. You flinched at the sudden contact and pulled at his hair. "Ow ow, ow--!!" He yelped in pain and a second later both of you went crashing onto the floor.

The slipper fell somewhere around the room while you and Heeseung layed on the floor, breathing heavily. "Told you I'd catch you." He said as a smirk formed on his lips.

"Yeah yeah." You discarded his comment and sat up.

"You going to that pool party later?"

Heeseung raised a brow and stood up. "Oh yeah, Jake basically begged me to go. Plus it's the last party of the summer. You thinking of going?" He asked and sat down on his bed.

"Not sure, might just stay at Giselle's for the night."

•° `♡` °•

So... you didn't stay at Giselle's. Infact she was the one dragging you to Sunghoon's pool party. One thing about Heeseung is that he had filthy rich friends (with you being the exception). Giselle also invited the other girls. Ningning, Karina and Winter showed up for a pre-party with a few cocktails to warm up.

And at 8 the five of you were in Sunoo's car, singing karaoke on the way to Sunghoon's place. He stopped the vehicle infront of the large private estate and threw the car keys in your direction. "Keep an eye on these for me." He said as you passed the keys to Karina, your parent for the night.

A few minutes later all of you were inside and drinking all kinds of beverages. "No drinking today Karina?" Ningning teased as she noticed the older girl sipping fruit punch.

Karina let out a chuckle. "After last party's hangover I don't even want to taste alcohol." Her words made you grin widely. "Okay so this is a pool party, and we kinda need to go to the pool." Winter reminded everyone and sqeezed past the crowd.

The second you went outside you spotted Heeseung with his friends. He wore a simple white tank top and swim shorts. His hair was damp, most likely from an earlier dive and he was passionately explaining something to Jay. Your gaze lingered on him for a second before you made eye contact with Jungwon.

He gave you a small wave and smile. Your heart warmed at his cuteness as you waved back. Your next instinct was to go over and say hi from up close but Giselle pushed you towards the outdoor bar.

"No boys allowed tonight, just drinks and music." She nagged and poured you a shot. You downed it in one go and made a face at her. "I was just going to say hello, but fine, tonight we party like animals."

The girls cheered while lifting their drinks in the air.

•° `♡` °•

"Hey I'm gonna go say hi to Y/n." Sunghoon commented as he patted Heeseung's shoulder. His eyebrow shot up in confusion. "When'd she get here?" He asked as his eyes scanned the outdoor area.

"I drove her and her friends here." Sunoo answered as he layed on a lounge chair. Heeseung let out a scoff. "You could've told me."

Sunoo only brought his sunglasses down and looked at him in disbelief. He and Ni-ki shared a look. Heeseung walked off seemingly pissed off for no reason. On his way he bumped into Jake and didn't even bother apologizing. "Is he good?" Jake asked with a raised brow.

In a few seconds Heeseung was at the bar, ordering another drink. His eyes instantly went to you.

You, who sat smiling and laughing with your friend.

You in your tiny jean shorts and a red bikini top.

You, who hadn't even bothered to text him and let him know that you was coming.

He grabbed his drink and walked over to your lounge chair. You were still chatting away with Karina, while Giselle was zoned out. Your two other friends were splashing around in the pool.

You hadn't even noticed his presence, until Karina went silent. Heeseung sat down next to your legs. You eyed his clearly drunk state and raised a brow.

"You could've told me you were coming."

You were caught off guard. Is that why he looked so upset? Drunk Heeseung was really something else.

You couldn't help but let out a laugh. "Is that why you sulked all the way over here?" You teased and took a sip of your drink. His eyes followed your every move. Karina gave you a look before signaling that she was gonna leave you two alone.

You nodded and glanced back at Heeseung. He was drunk yes, but his usual drunk self was very energetic and giggly. He was nothing like what you were seeing right now. "Are you okay? Should we go home?" You asked while pressing your hand on his bicep.

Your cold touch instantly caught his attention. He looked you in the eyes and suddenly grinned. You knew something wasn't right, but he had already grabbed your waist and thrown you over his shoulder.

You let out a surprised yelp and gasped as he started walking towards the pool. "Heeseung no, don't you dare-!!" Your screams echoed through the backyard till all the attention was on you two.

Giselle took out her phone to record the whole thing. "I'm being serious!! My phone is in my pocket, Heeseung-!!"

Heeseung was laughing at your protests. He pretended to throw you as you flinched and harshly smacked him. "Enough just put me down!!" You hit his back as hard as you could but he just wouldn't quit.

His friends' must've noticed how opposed you were to being thrown in the pool. "Okay Heeseung that's enough. She doesn't want to." Jay said as he approached you two. Heeseung only stepped closer to the edge, causing you to scream.

By then Jay and Jungwon were desperately trying to stop him. While Jake and Ni-ki laughed in amusement. You would've been in a good mood too, if your phone wasn't in grave danger.

"Hee, come on put me down. We both know you won't throw me." You said in a more calm tone and attempted to take your phone out and throw it to the nearest person. "It's just water Y/n you'll be fine."

"My phone won't--!!"

You gasped as Heeseung's foot slipped. Your phone slipped out of your pocket and went diving into the pool. You could only scream as your best friend lost his balance and dropped you. Jungwon caught your arm in time before you hit the concrete floor.

Heeseung on the other hand wasn't so lucky. His knee collided with the ground but he still giggled at his 'prank'. Jay helped him up while mentally facepalming. "I think you've had enough, go sleep it off." He said. Heeseung harshly shoved his friend's hand off.

"You okay?" Jungwon whispered to you as you gave a short nod. Frankly you weren't okay, your phone was taking a bath in the pool and you were fuming at your best friend's utter stupidity. "Are you actually fucking insane?" You yelled and took a step towards him.

His grin widened as you harshly pushed his chest. "Why do you keep getting so fucking wasted? You idiot, you ruined my phone!! What were you even thinking??!!" You screamed again as Sunghoon stepped between you two. "Y/n, I know you're upset, but clearly he's not in his right mind. Please calm down." He said calmly and watched as you backed down.

You let out an exhausted sigh and walked off to retrieve your phone. Ningning and Winter had fetched it out of the water, their expression's were unreadable. "You okay?" Ningning asked as she touched your shoulder. You nodded and grabbed your now broken phone.

"Why's he being such a dick?" Winter muttered, her eyes glaring into his back. You refused to watch his friends try to sober him up. If you did you would definetly lash out again. Giselle walked up to you three, a look of disappointment decorating her face.

She was about to speak when you heard multiple people yelling. It sounded a lot like Heeseung's friends. You barely registered him charging at you at full speed. Ningning gasped as Heeseung tackled you into the pool.

"Dude what the hell!!?! You couldn't have stopped him??" Giselle yelled as her eyes scanned the pool searching for your figure.

Jake and Sunghoon were about to jump in when you appeared on the surface. You took a deep breath and pushed your hair back. "You're so fucking dead, Lee."

Heeseung could only laugh at your hilarious expression. You finally lost it and pounced on him, grabbing his head and shoving it underwater. Jake, Sunoo and Ni-ki burst out laughing as Jay shook his head. Giselle somehow always managed to record the good moments.

Winter and Ningning enjoyed Heeseung's deserved punishment. You felt him struggle beneath you as you finally let him go. He gasped loudly and grabbed the edge of the pool. His eyes were red, breathing heavy as he coughed out all the water in his lungs.

You climbed out of the pool as Winter handed you a towel. You plopped down on the floor, too exhausted to move. Heeseung followed after you, a bit too quiet for your liking. You looked at his face as Jungwon offered a hand to help him up.

Your gut was telling you something wasn't right. And just as you stood up Heeseung stumbled. Jungwon's eyes widened as Heeseung's body fell towards you. You barely caught him as he went completely limp and unresponsive. "Hee?" You breathed out, heart pounding from worry.

"Lay him down!!"

A wave of gasps erupted as Jungwon and Sunghoon helped you lay Heeseung down on the floor. Jay checked his pulse and let out a sigh of relief. "For fuck's sake, can this guy not ruin my fun all the time?" You breathed out while sitting beside his blacked out figure.

"He loves to crash parties that's for sure." Jake said as he shook his head.

•° `♡` °•

His friends managed to carry his ass inside and lay him down on the couch. Mind you the party is still up and going. You sat down beside him clearly the only one willing (forced) to take care of him. About a half hour later, he opened his eyes and lazily looked around.

The colorful lights were blinding his vision as he covered his eyes with his forearm. His headache was only getting worse by the second. You touched his arm and glanced at his face.

"Welcome back sleeping beauty." You commented.

His eyes flew open at your familiar touch, his gaze landing on your face. He could make out a hint of annoyance, some worry and a whole lot of anger. He must've done something stupid.

"What happened?" Heeseung asked and rubbed his forehead in pain.

"Long story shory, you owe me a new phone. Now let's go." You grabbed his wrist and started dragging him towards the exit. You called Karina and told her to meet you outside.

"Woah what happened to him?" She asked at the sight of you supporting Heeseung with his arm around your shoulder. "Drank too much like usual. Can you drive back to his place?"

"Yeah of course." Karina used Sunoo's car to drive you back to Heeseung's house. She watched in concern as you dragged his body to the front door and unlocked it. You waved Karina goodbye and went inside.

The trip up the stairs with Heeseung around your shoulder was a nightmare. You barely managed to get to the top, and even then you were close to just dumping him there. You layed him down on the bed and took his shoes off.

That's more than what he deserved but still. You placed the blanket on him and layed down for a while. Your exhaustion finally kicked in as you turn to face Heeseung's sleeping figure. His features were completely relaxed, his lips naturally pouting. Gosh if only he'd be this quiet all the time.

•° `♡` °•

The next day Heeseung woke up with a pounding headache. He was half expecting (hoping) you were laying next to him or atleast cooking breakfast and getting ready to throw insults at him. Unfortunately the house was silent and Heeseung's dream shattered in an instant. There was no trace of you in his room.

Had he actually dreamed about you laying next to him? He remembered it all too vividle for that to be true. After regretting all of his life choices, he sat up. he didn't even attempt to remember the events of the party. Or rather he'd prefer not to feel extremely fucking emberrassed.

He opened his phone and furrowed his brows. Weird. You hadn't sent him a single text. No matter how stupid Heeseung acted while drunk, you'd always check up on him. Did he fuck up that badly that you won't even text him?

To stop himself from overthinking Heeseung called his buddy. "Yo Jake."

"Hey man, you alive?"

"Yeah why wouldn't I be?"

"Right, you probly don't even remember what happened."

"So i fucked up?

"If by that you mean Y/n probably won't ever talk to you, then yeah."

Heeseung's mouth dropped in shock. What could he possibly do (that he hadn't already) that would piss you off to the point of breaking up their friendship?

"Did I kiss her?"

Instead of a reply Heeseung got laughed at. Jake was basically wheezing from how hilarious his friend's words were. Heeseung could only roll his eyes in annoyance.

"Are you gonna answer my question?"

"Man you're gonna have to figure this out on your own."

And with that Jake hung up.

Heeseung decided that the best thing he could do was actually get to college. Which he was extremely late to and considering the place was about 2 hours away he'd have to be a tiny bit more late.

Of course Jungwon had called to ask where the hell he was. His only excuse was that he overslept, which wasn't a compete lie. The whole ride to college he stared at his phone screen. He went through his previous text conversations with you, noticing how you always replied as quick as you could.

But now he felt uneasy.

You didn't text back and haven't answered any of his 18 missed calls.

By the time he got to the campus he was exhausted. Heeseung retrieved his dorm keys from the main office and went to dump his luggage in his room. Just as he was sitting on the couch the door creaked open.

Winter peaked inside, her eyes went wide at the sight of him. "Sorry wrong room." She bowed apologetically and was about to close the door when Heeseung blocked it with his foot. "Winter, Have you seen Y/n?"

The girl gave him an 'are you serious right now' look. He could feel her judgemental gaze as she crossed her arms. "No haven't seen her. Bye."

She said and slammed the door in his face.

There seriously must be something wrong with everyone today. No one, and literaly no one would tell him when you were. He tried your friends, which left him with even more questions. Ningning ignored his entire existance, Karina hurried away without answering and Giselle gave him the dirtiest look possible.

It was safe to say he fucked up badly, so bad that your friends suddenly hated his guts.

During lunch he sat between Jay and Jake. Casual conversations were flowing between them as Heeseung stared down at his plate, lost in deep thought.

He finally snapped, dropping the fork with a thud. The table went dead silent. "Anyone wanna tell me what heinous act I commited yesterday? Why's everyone acting like this?" He asked, letting his frustrations out. His friends stayed silent, avoiding his eyes.

He scoffed and looked around, his gaze searching your figure. That's when he saw you sit down at a table with your friends. You were chatting away, a small smile decorating your lips.

He abruptly stood up, deciding that you were the only one who could tell him. He walked over to your table, his friends gasping behind him. "No no no--!" Jungwon began but covered his eyes.

Jay shook his head in disappointment as Sunghoon took a bite of his food. "What an idiot." He muttered causing Jake to chuckle. Sunoo pushed Ni-ki to the side. He needed a clear view of your table as shit went down.

Heeseung stopped right behind you. You knew instantly since Giselle scowled and the rest went silent. You slowly turned yoru head to him, fork full of food in hand.

"Hey, Can we talk?"

Heeseung asked without hesitation. "I only have 10 minutes to eat so I can't spare you any time. Sorry." Your sorry didn't seem all that genuine. Heeseung frowned at your attempt to dismiss him. "I'm sure you can eat and listen at the same time." He didn't back down.

You glared at him for the snarky remark. "Not right now, Heeseung."

"Then when? When will you make time for me?" He asked and leaned down, placing one hand on the table.

"Our spot, at 5."

Heeseung straightened back up and walked off without another word. He needed to figure out what made you so upset. The only logical solution that came to him was that he kissed you.

And that you felt uncomfortable given your relationship as best friends. And now you can't even look at him the same. He couldn't believe that a single kiss ruined years of friendship and trust.

BEHIND THE SCENES | Chantilly, Picardy, Lavande

beginning | previous | next

"Aubrey Faye Stuart grew up in a tiny world, in an even tinier town. Her parents, as normal as you can get, adhered to the ideology of staying within one's means. This upbringing left Aubrey with a small perspective, limited dreams, and a repressed personality. All of these qualities were perfect for a guy like Laurie — a man who didn’t really need the girl, just the face. From the outside, no one knew what Laurie could want in such a plain girl; his motives were never clear. The two didn’t fit very well on paper but got along fairly well. And to Aubrey, what others might perceive as just 'okay,' she regarded as exceptional. In her eyes, Laurie was the love of her life, and she his."

transcript below↓↓

Laurie] Mother’s given her permission. ...you’re to attend engagements with me, be seen with me offically.

AUBREY lifts her head, offended.

Aubrey]sarcarstically How generous.

Laurie] annoyed You're the only one benefiting from this.

Aubrey] scoffs

Laurie] I’m just saying, it wouldn’t hurt to actually be thankful.

Aubrey] of course I’m grateful…

Laurie] Don’t be mad, maybe I can take you shopping.

Aubrey]…

Laurie] contemplative Black hair… and more eye makeup, It’ll make your eyes stand out more.

AUBREY touches her hair; confused, a bit sad.

Aubrey] My hair?

AUBREY in the shower, a shot of her feet in a puddle of black water (hair die)

AUBREY getting her makeup done

AUBREY putting shoes on

AUBREY in a chair, with people fussing over her. A shot from the back.

Laurie and Aubrey walking out of some establishment. Completely decked out in their new looks. He has even changed a bit, they are getting photographed from every direction

As the light bleeds into her sight, her unease slight loosens. To be on the other side of the Cameras is something that she never would have imagined for herself. People call his name, People call her name. She might be happy she thinks. How could she not? She looks beautiful, a concept she never thought she could grasp, and maybe never again. For once she likes all eyes on her.

Now she’s a room, a very pretty one. She’s on the phone with her mother. Aubrey is a commoner from Caledonia. She’s a long way from home.

THE SHOT comes in. Her face isnt shown until the end possibly. She’s on the floor painting her toenails while on the phone. Very girly I’d say.

Mom] Are you okay?

Aubrey]… Did you see me on tv?

Mom] You loved your hair, sweetpea.

Aubrey] I know…

Mom] You know you can come home?

Why you? You’re not made for this.

Aubrey] …He’s not like you imagine, mom.

They’ve finally make their relation public. And life is supposed the be good. But they aren’t really.

EXT. Toussaint Estate - Afternoon

A very idillic afternoon at the toussaint estate. The party is happening around the pool. People are swimming, people are having fun. [Aubrey Caroline ~~~~is capturing this on her old camera, the images look as if they are shot on film. She films Laurie and Giselle getting risky, and also Aubrey laying alone, with Az approaching her. And also a shot of her fiance in the pov of the camera. He’s close, moving the camera away laughing.]

Laurie and Giselle are being a fit to friendly, they are roughhousing around. And laurie films her with his camera. While laurie is almost shameless with his advances, it is Giselle who is trying to hold it out. She is visibly uncomfortable, trying (not extremely hard) not to get caught.

As they so shameless project their feelings, Aubrey watches it all from the vantage point of her pool chair.

She already does not feel in her element, dressing in something way more revealing than she would have worn herself. Laurie has been dressing her as of late. She can’t say they’re ugly outfits, just not hers.

As she watches her boyfriend play with another girl (she doesn’t really know what to make of it, she’s got nothing to say),

Someone comes up behind her. It’s Azriel, a person she met a while ago, known to her as a best friend of Laurie.

Azriel] whispers So you’re not blind.

She looks over to him, a bit dumbfounded and suprised.

Aubrey] cautious I don’t know what you’re talking about.

Azriel] “Poor Aubrey…” That’s what they call you. You don’t know how to play the game, you’ll get eaten alive. you’ll get eaten alive here, if you don’t learn to play along.

Aubrey]…

Azriel] Do you love him?

Aubrey] offended Of course I love him! Az] chuckles Your first mistake.

Aubrey] He woul- He’d never betray me.

Azriel] You can’t even convince yourself. laughs mockingly.

He walks away, leaving her with more questions that she isn’t willing to have answered.
