Aisling nodded when Josie told her about the lawyer she’d been talking to. She couldn’t say that she knew who he was, which didn’t give her much confidence in him. “Well, if you decide he’s not the right fit, let me know. I have a few law school classmates who went into family law, several of which owe me favours.” She told her. It might seem extremely backward that she was helping her brother’s ex-wife instead of him but she knew that at the end of the day, Josie had way more than her brother, which he might try to go after. “I know it’s none of my business but out of curiosity, did you and Sean sign a prenup?” She asked as she sat down in the living room.

She listened as Josie explained what happened and Aisling had to admit that part of her was satisfied knowing that she was at least remorseful about it. “I wanted to find out both sides of the story.” She answered truthfully. “And no, I don’t understand it but I appreciate you being so open with me. I’m sure your manager will do the same, but I’d advise you not to speak to any reporters or paparazzi until after the divorce is finalized, especially to try and explain yourself. It could end up being used against you.” She advised her, hoping that Josie would take the advice more seriously than Sean.

Cole smiled as she talked. He was really enjoying getting to know someone new. He listened attentively as she spoke. “Oh that’s cool. I will definitely have to hear you sing one of these days.” He smirked at her. He didn’t want this to end. He wasn’t sure though if he was keeping her from somewhere she had to be. “So tell me more about you Savannah.” He smiled at her as he let Grizzly’s leash release so he could wonder a little further as they talked.

Tommy stood there; kind of bored as he waited for Dave and Helen to come back from wardrobe. He smiled and talked with some people. However, as soon as he saw Helen he couldn’t help but to smile huge. He stood there watching her carefully. He was watching her very intently. She is so beautiful He watched as the scene started. He would never admit it to anyone, but he was kind of jealous of Dave. Only because he got to be so close to Helen. Tommy watched as Helen threw flour in Dave’s face. This made Tommy laugh hard. Tommy hated watching the flirty scenes. Mostly because he knew it was so fake. Tommy watched Dave get flirty and it made him angry and jealous. He sighed. He looked to the director hoping they would yell “CUT”. So that he could talk to Helen. He hated how jealous he felt in this moment. He wanted to be on that stage with her making this loving movie, but it would be better if they were at his house doing something like this. So, it was real and not acting. He continued watching them both hoping that his jealousy and anger wouldn’t grow too big.

As Sunny led her brother to her room, she couldn’t help but notice that something was off about him. He didn’t seem like himself, even more than at Thanksgiving. Not that she would ever say this to his face but she almost preferred the full of himself version from that night to the man who was with her now. She would ask him what was up with him, but she had no confidence that he wouldn’t just brush it off. When they entered the room, Emiliano said that the room was unique, though Sunny wasn’t sure if he was being sarcastic or if it was a genuine compliment.

“Thanks, my boyfriend and I decorated it together.” She responded as she picked up her laptop and sat down on her bed. She didn’t stop to think about whether he knew about her relationship or not, assuming he had found out about it through the magical grapevine that was tabloid magazines. “You can take a seat. I don’t bite.” She teased while gesturing to the bed beside her, figuring it was better than him standing around awkwardly.

“What the f*ck?!” She exclaimed to herself as he began harshly coughing. She looked up from her laptop and watched him cautiously as if she were waiting for him to cough up blood. “Are you okay? Can I get you anything? Water, a lozenge maybe?” She asked him, wondering what was wrong with him. He asked what she wanted to show him which brought her out of her initial shock but she still harboured some concern for his condition. She cleared her throat, getting herself back on track as she pulled up the file.

The Loneliest - Måneskin

“I wrote this after Mattias died. No one really knows it exists. I was waiting for you to come home.” She told him as the song started. She wanted him to be aware of the importance of her playing the song for him. The track was stripped down, just her and a keyboard, which added to the sombre lyrics, which alluded to her deceased brother becoming one of the thousand stars in the sky. Call it cliché but it comforted her to think about looking up at the night sky and seeing her brother among the stars. It made his death feel less final. As she listened, she found herself reaching for Emiliano’s hand. As if she needed to touch him to make sure he was real and this wasn’t some grand delusion her mind cooked up. When it finished, she watched her brother carefully for his reaction but certain that she wouldn’t respond nicely to negative comments about it.

Josie nodded her head when Aisling asked if she had signed a prenup with Sean. That was the first thing she had asked him and now she was happier that she had done it seeing the catastrophe that just happened. Deep down, she didn’t think that Sean would try to take anything from her. He was more successful than her and that was what drew her to him in the first place, still she didn’t know completely what would happen. Divorce brings out the ugliness in people. Josie listened to Aisling’s advice about not talking to reporters or paparazzi and Josie rapidly nodded her head. “I haven’t been doing that at all. I’ve just been staying far, far away from that mess.” She ran a hand through her frazzled hair. She was really glad that Aisling chose not to make this situation worse and was actually being a decent human being. Was there a sense of care there? Josie wondered for a split second but a thought came over her, one that hurt so much. Josie stared off into the distance like an injured lamb “… But…Sean he… he talked to everyone and he said that he would never do it…he said…” Then she began sobbing again. She couldn’t help herself. The tears rumbled down her cheeks as her eyes squeezed shut again. Then the image of Sean throwing his ring on the floor came back. She turned to Aisling and put her head on her shoulder and started crying harder. “And then he just! He just threw his… ehuhu… His ring on the floor!* she continued to sniff and cry. “He did so many things… ehuhu that he said he wouldn’t sniffs” she held Aisling’s coat as if she were holding on to a boat for dear life. She didn’t fully realize what was happening. She just knew that she needed to hug someone and Aisling was the closest person there.

“Ain’t that the same thing?” Silas had playfully. She placed her hands on her hips as she said; “Either ways, I’m too sexy to be greedy,” She frowned, “Wait that don’t make sense.” Her brows furrowed and it was obvious Silas was trying to say something that made sense, finally she settled on: “I’m too much of a saint to be greedy,” She teased rolling her eyes, “Remember back in the old neighborhood they used to call me Saint Silas.” Actually, instead of Saint Silas, Silas was called Satan or a menace to society, which she would have you know, she definitely was not.

And to show how non menace-ish she was, she was literally making a sandwich for her best friend- a toasted Blt. “Thanks,” Silas thanked as she placed the bacon inside the bread, “I’m glad to have you in my life, you like family and sht.” And she was, family that is it. Isla had always been there for Silas, and Silas had always been there for her. It was a mutual beneficial friendship and none of that fake sht, period. She was there for Silas and Silas was there for her, this type of friendships could never be replaced.

“I feel ya” Silas had said to Isla saying that body guarding for the Wallace lady was like a new change of pace, “Felt the same when I suddenly become famous and I was around literally everyone and people wanted to rub shoulders, I was like- damn this my life now? Who the fck is y’all?” It’s still so weird, like really, Silas still couldn’t believe this was her life right now. Though, she wasn’t complaining, having this big @ss mansion, with a maid and a walk in snack closet had been her childhood dream for as long as she could remember, and now she had achieved that dream. “Do I even have a love life?” Silas asked as she brought the sandwich plate to the sitting room, placing it down on the coffee table, as she grabbed her own half eaten sandwich and continued to eat iit. “More of a sex life than what not,” She said, “Some situation ships here and there, nothing too serious. I’m just not trying to commit right now, you know?”

The confirmation that Josie and her brother had signed a prenup gave Aisling some peace of mind. It meant that this process might not be as long and drawn out. It also relieved her to hear that she was staying away from the press. “Well, at least one of you still has their wits about them.” She quipped, still stunned that Josie had the most sense between the two of them. “If you want, I can talk to Sean and see if I can get him to stop talking to them going forward.” She offered. It wouldn’t undo what was already done and it was highly likely that her brother just wouldn’t listen but she wanted to at least try to prevent the situation from getting worse.

Josie began to sob as she recounted what had transpired between her and her husband and when she put her head on Aisling’s shoulder, Aisling froze up for a second, unsure of what to do. She realized that Josie probably just needed some comfort and so she hugged her back, the way she would if she were comforting one of her children. “I’m sorry, Josie.” She whispered to her, knowing that if the tables were turned and Robin had left in the way Sean did, she would be just as broken.

He blinked, and blinked, and if perhaps Emilio had glasses–he would have taken them off, the way an old man does to ‘see if they’ve heard right.’ His brows furrowed, and his nose scrunched as he gave her a look than in simple terms could only represent: girl when was this? And asked: “Boyfriend? You have a boyfriend?” He was truly not caught up with the lives of people around him, was he? Was it a known fact that Sunny had a boyfriend? “When did this happen?” He asked for a nervous laughter as he pocketed his hands. His eyes scanned the room, searching for anything that belonged to her boyfriend that would tell him of his identity, and whether he knew him. There were a lot of things that belonged to the man, that he had noticed before, and he couldn’t help but to question his sighg, when had he become so blind? Moreover, known of the materials gave a clue to who the man was, so he asked: “Whose he? Do you love him?” And with that, he rubbed his neck awkwardly, “We have so much to catch up to, Sun.” He smiled, and awaited her answers.

He thanked her, when she said he could take a seat, and sat on the bed, his legs spread as he waited for her to sit beside him and tell him what she needed of him. But before that could even happen, a lump–not literal, more figurative as it felt like cat fur was stuck deep inside his throat and he coughed, and coughed, and cough again, creating worry in his younger sister as she exclaimed a ‘wtf’ that made him grimance. “Allergies,” He scrunched his nose, “Can I have ginger tea instead?” It always helped to soothe the symptoms. He waved a dismissive hand as more worries began to pour out, telling her to continue and she did with a clear throat. What he heard, Emilio was not expecting to hear it. It was a song, apparently a song meant for Mattias and him, one written by his sister, his only sister. As he listened to the song, observing the lyrics, multiple thoughts swirled in his mind, his greatest one began with- what? if? What if he never came back, what if back then-- he swallowed his saliva, and his head began to hurt. He didn’t even notice that tears began to sprinkle in his eyes, until he reached up to clean his eyes, feeling dust in them and was met with a wet feel. “I–” He didn’t even know how to begin. He swallowed: “It’s beautiful, it’s very beautiful.” He whispered

A curve from Ezra’s was present as both felt a sentiment shared, once hidden by many. As he heard what came out of his mouth, Marco’s attitude lay on two sides of a coin. On one point, he was truly glad someone got this unexplainable feeling, yet he grew worried that both were talking about something that could implicate them. Something that was so human—a fresh, hopeful idea that could be crushed by the next day. He could say it out loud, but this industry lays upon the egos of many and could crush them no matter the public’s opinion, good or bad. Signaling his wariness, he looked upon the crowd as a sign of the crowd’s lingering eyes, [color= #01DF00]“Millions are stuck in this never-ending labyrinth, Mr. May.”[/color] Despite his harsh words, he came closer to Ezra with his action-signaling seduction, yet his voice remained the colder tone: [color= #01DF00]“It’s really up to you if you keep it all together in a neat little box. I won’t deny it’s the greatest struggle you’ll face, but this world is not forgiving for the softhearted. As cold as it is, eyes linger like snakes with prey. I don’t want you to be racked up, but you are still on the clock."[/color]

Pulling back, Marco’s glistening smile came back as he sat down with his fingers playing around the rim, as if he told a dirty story that he had verbalized one too many times; his eyes told a different story, signaling Ezra to change his direction to a safer sphere, [color= #01DF00]“It’s a lot easier if you started out young, but that’d be a story for the next appointment.”[/color] His acknowledgement did not end there, as he nodded with kindred smiles, [color= #01DF00]“I am glad; however, I meet people who I can slightly resonate with; it’s like looking at a fun house mirror where the mirrors aren’t warped.”[/color]

With the ambience seemingly brightening, Marco came to be amused by Ezra. Such attitude, he could be one of his friends from New York with all that attitude. Gesturing a knot around his fingers, his eyes sharpened with the same gleeful sass. [color= #01DF00]“Guess you could say I’ve wrapped you in my delicate fingers. I could be a slam poet in my next life, but my style would clash with how my jewels cling-clang every single time I try to move. Very impractical.”[/color]

“…Inevitably bumping into one another in this manufactured chaos” is quite correct for his analogy. It wasn’t fun when he found himself caught in some scenes, yet all these events are so common that a sex scandal is just a visit to a dentist. [color= #01DF00]“Hey, I know that! That’s reality TV. But these stars view the press as any good press. I don’t mind, really, as long as I get to see the others pulling their hair and not mine. It takes hours to make me look good, so imagine them with their HD makeup and borrowed designer. And plus, Mr. May, this is basically Desperate Housewives with all the gated community drama and all. The only difference is that some of ‘em are really famous, basically making noises that spread drama from across the nation”[/color] A recollection of memory came to his mind, adding something new: [color= #01DF00]"I don’t remember who, but when I was in New York, I heard numerous stars being caught on affairs and catfighting in Beverly Shores. Then again, one of those stars is my client. Well, until he… Oops, a nip slip! Be a darling and hit yourself with the Men in Black fuhgeddaboudit flash.”[/color]

His unnerved smile caused some form of entertainment for Marco, much to anyone’s surprise. He had finally caught the charming guard out of his groove, even if it was for a small moment. His timid voice didn’t help as he looked at Marco with that look in his eye. Fetching, but caused Marco to let out a small giggle, [color= #01DF00]"I haven’t had any complaints; Simon says that I keep on swallowing. Trust that my service will be a smoother venture.”[/color] Further playing with his words, he blew a kiss with the same sunny disposition, [color= #01DF00]"Though, if I choke, please do the proper procedure and let me live; I haven’t had my good status as a well-loved stylist. I only get that status on the DL, unfortunately.”[/color]

A statement about Ezra’s change of motive did cause curiosity in Marco. With his slightly raised brow and his elegant posture loosening with anticipation, gossip or an invitation could come out. Shifting his weight to the table, he came closer, [color= #01DF00]"Oh? Can the good little assistant elaborate on their takeout? My chest is just throbbing with such anticipation, any of these buttons could just go poof and into your coffee.”[/color] His boss? A family affair? A chuckle let out as he recollects that family’s history, [color= #01DF00]"Family affairs are still going on; damn, I really think they need some time out. Have a spa day, and you wonder why they age terribly. Can’t be me though; I’m timeless.”[/color] His favorite drink did caught Marco off guard, letting him chuckle with disbelief, [color= #01DF00]"You’re a firm believer in the Christian girl autumn? I’m impressed. You learn something exciting from the people you meet, but I didn’t expect you to be so… Emma Roberts-on-the-beach-sticking-out-her-tongue type of man.”[/color]

If Ezra told him a “secret,” Marco felt an obligation to share what he drinks. Drinking from his cup, he looked at the coffee as to focus on the new topic: [color= #01DF00]"I like my coffee strong though; it gets the blood pumping when you’re deprived of those 5 hours of sleep with sh!t you shouldn’t worry about but nonetheless aim to finish. I’ll give you five dollars if you could guess how many hours of sleep I had, with all the craziness that ensued last night.”[/color] Redirecting the topic, he looked back at Ezra as he returned to his poised position. [color= #01DF00]"Back to the topic, however, I’m good at keeping secrets; after all, it’s all stashed in right above my… compartments.[/color]

“Oh right you did used to be called Saint Silas…” isla said, thinking about all of Silas’s rendezvous adventures and chaotic antics. She wasn’t super Crazy but still that gurl could be crazy, so the name Saint definitely didn’t describe her. Isla smiled and put a hand on her chest when Silas said that she was glad to have her in her life. “Aww thanks. Of course boo” boo was sort of a running joke between them. They would often say boo to each other as a way to make fun of people who said it way too much. “You’re definitely like a sister to me especially since I’m an only child. I needed that kind of relationship in my life. Plus, you let me steal this comfy couch. By the way, if zombies start existing you could use this b#tch as a door barricade. Bih sturdy as fck.” She laughed. Yes it was sturdy but comfortable as hell.

“Oh my God it’s so true. I’m not even that famous but people I haven’t heard from in years started hopping in my dms when I got some recognition. Like that girl Teresa who used to always try and “roast” me in high school. She really hopped in my dms talking about can we do a workout collab. Like i aint never seen you work out before and she barely even had workout videos on her page when I checked.” Isla started laughing again. That girl was always strange. The way Isla felt she was giggling seemed similar to how her buddies would act when they were high but she never was into smoking. Maybe she was just super happy to be with Silas again.

Isla listened as Silas questioned if she even had a love life and how she was more of a casual relationship person. Isla nodded her head because she completely understood. Well at least now she did. She was the opposite of Silas. She always believed in love and would always get into these heartfelt relationships with people. She still believed in love but she knew that now was a good time to be by herself and reflect. "Well you know that I’m a hopeless romantic. I don’t usually do hook ups or situationships. I always catch feelings fast. . Isla shrugged then she wondered something. “So what about Sunny? do you even have feelings for her. It seems like you guys have some kind of beef or somethin.”

When Isla saw Silas bite into her sandwich she realized something. “Girl you forgot to get chips.” She wondered who could eat a BLT without chips.

Isla had the urge to look at her phone so she pulled it out of her pocket and opened it. There she saw several missed calls from Isabella. She wondered why she was even calling her so much. After that night where they kissed she didn’t have the urge to delete her number anymore and was going back and forth on it. What did this mean for them. Isla put her phone back in her pocket.

“Isabella is calling me so much right now. I have no idea why.” Isla sighed and shook her head trying to pay attention to what was going on in the tv but in the back of her mind she wondered if it were an emergency and if she should call her back.

Josie continued crying without a care in the world but she realized what she was doing after the comforting words of Aisling started to sink in. She was crying on Aislings shoulder. What the heck. In what universe. Josie quickly lifted her head once she fully realized the blubbering idiot she was being. She wiped her tears with her hands and sniffed not because she was crying now but because she was trying to get herself together. “No i’m sorry.” She felt like a mess. What was she doing. Nobody was supposed to catch her lacking like this. “I don’t know what I’m doing. I feel like a mess.” A bitter laugh escaped her as she ran her tear stained hands on her clothes. Aisling was being really nice to her and it was what she needed at this point. She felt like she was seeing a different side of her that she had never seen before. The “evil witch” that she believed Aisling to be seemed to be going away now. Maybe she was decent after all and she just hadn’t gotten to know her fully. “…And yes that would be great if you could tell Sean to stop talking to the press,” Josie stood up and sighed. She really didn’t want anymore guests in her house for at least 3 days, starting now. Usually, no one would see her looking like this at all. She looked at Aisling’s coat seeing that she had kind of gotten it soaked, but decided not to say anything because she was embarrassed. “Sorry for making this awkward.” She said letting out another sigh. “Well, I’m glad you came over here. I’m probably going go…freshen up and try to get myself together. I’m thinking of just going out with some friends later tonight to try and distract myself.” not that you care Josie thought to herself but she hesitated. That was a cue for Aisling that she should leave. Firstly she was awkward because she just cried on this womans shoulder. Secondly, she was awkward because she looked a hot mess and usually no one would see her like this. She usually looked this bad if she had a hangover. Thirdly, she is pregnant after cheating on this womans brother. She wanted to bury her face in a pillow and hide from the world. This was an embarrassing situation. One that the neighborhood wine moms would be interested in hearing and possibly laugh at her about. Wow you were talking to Sean’s literal sister and you cried on her shoulder? Oof girl.

Sunny couldn’t stop herself from laughing at Emilio’s reaction to her having a boyfriend. “Were you under a rock for the past few years?” She asked with a cheeky smile. He was still being very secretive about his whereabouts so for all she knew, he absolutely could have been under a rock. “I’ve been dating Francisco Leone for almost two years now and yeah, I think I love him.” She answered, her smile turning dreamy. She pulled up a photo of the two of them together to show him, just in case he didn’t believe her. Maybe it was naive of her to hold onto a fading relationship like that but this wasn’t the time or place to air that out. “There’s a lot we need to catch up on.” She agreed with him, biting her tongue to avoid adding “…like where the hell were you”, knowing he would just dodge the question again. It made her wonder what else he was oblivious to. Did he know she took a break from music? Or that she was now running her own company?

She raised an eyebrow skeptically when he tried to pass his coughing fit off as allergies. “Yeah, of course. I think I have some.” She responded to his request for ginger tea. Sunny was loyal to her iced lattes and iced americanos but she kept a stash of teas for the off-chance that she felt like one or needed to relieve a sore throat. It was mostly green and black teas but she had a selection of herbal teas, most of which had been gifted to her by the mother of her former groupmate, Ha-Eun, as part of care packages. “Do you take anything in your tea? Milk, sugar, honey?” She asked, standing up while trying to recall what Ha-Eun’s mother had said the benefits of ginger tea were.

Sunny blinked back tears of her own when she noticed Emilio begin to tear up. She picked up a tissue box off her bedside table, taking one out to dab at her eyes before offering the box to her brother. She smiled softly when he told her that the song was beautiful. “Thank you. I think it’s one of the best songs that I’ve written.” She closed the laptop before looking at her brother, trying to make eye contact with him. “I’m still pissed that you didn’t tell us before showing up at thanksgiving but, for what it’s worth, I’m happy you’re back. I missed you.” She hadn’t wanted to concede this soon but even if she didn’t want to fully forgive him yet, she couldn’t stay angry with him, no matter how much she wanted to keep him guessing.

Blake woke up in the morning. He let out a groan and got out of bed. His hair looked like a birds nest but he didn’t necessarily care, then he started doing his usual morning routine. Today was a day to relax and be away from people in the acting world. He would start by going to one of his favorite cafe’s in Beverly shores that he hadn’t went to in a long time. He truly enjoyed their walnut croissants and coffee the most. When he got to the cafe he was looking around. The fresh smell of walnut croissants filled his nostrils. He was taking in the restaurant when he spotted Lucy sitting at a table with Levi? Blake’s eyebrow rose immediately. He wondered what was this dude doing here in front of her. Oh right, because apparently the rumor mill spilled that they had something together in the past. He hadn’t seen Levi in a long time and he couldn’t say that he enjoyed seeing him now. After some contemplation he decided to order his favorite items and walk up to them. “Hey Lucy…” He said with a strained smile on his face. Then he looked at levi. “Levi…” He said as a greeting, slightly nodding his head. Then he sat down at the table with them, placing his food right there. “What’s up, how’s your day.” He didn’t care that he was interrupting them. He wanted to know why Levi was talking to her when she had a husband.

Lucy was caught up in her conversation with Levi. They had been talking for a while now. They hd order their food not long ago. So it should be coming out soon. They hadn’t gotten into anything too deep. Just the formalities of how have you been? Along with how is the family. It was a simple conversation that she wanted to finish. This public place wasn’t the right spot for the conversation they needed to have. However she knew that conversation would be for another time when they were alone and nobody was around them. Lucy wondered why Levi stopped talking to her when she got pregnant with the twins. It cut her deeper than she thought it would. She couldn’t believe how fast all the feelings for Levi came flooding back when she saw him at the Thanksgiving Yacht Party. It had been twelve years since they ended their affair.

How could she love her high school boyfriend still. When she was married and she loves Steven. She loved them both but it was different kinda of love. Levi was her first ever love. They say you never forget your first love. She has always been told you have three loves in your life other than your kids. Your first love, the wrong love and the perfect love. It wasn’t that Steven was the wrong love. However she didn’t feel he was the perfect love either. So maybe what she has been told her whole life… maybe it was a lie.

As she sat there talking to Levi she saw Blake walk in. She couldn’t help but smile. Remembering how they were on their way out of the Yacht Party when she noticed Steven. Blake walked to the counter and got some food. She watched him quietly while still paying attention to Levi of course. Then Blake came over. “Hey Lucy” He said as she smiled. She looked to him. “Well hello there handsome.” She said as she reached and gently touched his arm. She knew that even though Levi was there it was not going to stop the electricity and passion her and Blake had for one another. He then said “Whats up, How your day.” She couldn’t help but smile even more. She had two ways to answer this question.

She thought hard for a moment before saying it. “Well, my day has been okay. However, I think it just got a lot better since you arrived.” She giggled and winked at him. Hoping this would strike some jealousy out of Levi. She didn’t care if she seemed to be laying it on thick. She loved the chemistry between herself and Blake. Plus, if she could make Levi jealous it was a bonus of course. “How’s was your day? I’m still shocked we haven’t seen each other or spoken since that night at the Thanksgiving Yacht Party. Sorry that night got so awkward for us.” She smiled sweetly at Blake then looked to Levi for his response to her last statement before Blake walked over plus his reaction to Blake.

Silas burst out into fits of chuckle when Isla recommended using her couch as a door barricade, “That’ll probs be a good idea,” Silas agreed, show casting all her teeth. “Hope the zombies gon pay for my bloody couch, cause this shii was expensive as f*ck” Though Silas had not been the one to buy it–but her uncle, her manager had done it, as after all, according to him, ‘Silas you got two eye, but no eye for interior design’ which if you ask Silas was dead wrong, she got a third eye for interior design but whatever.

“Teresa ai’t sh*t” Silas laughed, it was still crazy to her how people who were your bigger haters could turn into your friend, when you got the ‘bread’ so ooh i’m rich now and you wanna f*ck wimme? Yall missed out on broke Silas, cause she was even more fun when she was young. “Same thing happened with, remember Jeremiah? Kept talking about how I was never gon make it and will live in the streets forever with an std. Then I got to the top, and he be in my DMS begging for a Collab because he want to start his rap career, he sent me a snippet of one of his songs and all I gotta say is,” Silas took a pause, placing a hand on her chest, "Fck no! " she siggled, “He not finna make it in no rap industry.” And Silas was def not gon help him rise. Not because she was still holding grudges, if you thought that was why–dead that thought, Silas doesn’t hold grudges, not like that, you have to really wrong her for her to hold grudges, but it was because his rap was trash and she didn’t need a stain in her career.

It was true, Isla was a hopeless romantic, which was something that Silas never understood. What was so good about being a hopeless romantic when it only leads to you getting your heart broken? But of course that was Isla and Silas was probably broken from being raised by her father who tried, he did try, but was ultimately not sh*t. “Sunny and me been over, we didn’t even begin,” Silas reached into her fridge to take one strawberry to pop in her mouth, “She thought I was her girlfriend, when I clearly said that I don’t do commitment, but that was like a year ago or som? She’s with Nacho now, I think and you know I don’t beef with people,” She said as she walked with a plate of Blt sandwich to give to Isla, “Not even exes,” She concluded.

Silas rolled her eyes playfully when Isla said she forgot the chips, “And I thought I was greedy,” She murmured, before walking back into the kitchen and getting the chips. Then sitting back down and eating her own sandwich, man, Silas was really good at making sandwich. After this, she should def make another one–maybe a turkey and cheese sandwich, or new Yorker style with bacon egg and cheese breakfast sandwich, but she was not a new Yorker so nah, or maybe her random special? “huh?” Silas said blinking, before she realized what Isla said. “Maybe she want you.”

For a brief moment, it seemed like Aisling and Josie were actually connecting. The moment ended almost as quickly as it began when Josie appeared to come to her senses. “You’re allowed to be a mess. It’s a messy situation.” She reassured her, even though the mess was kind of Josie’s fault to begin with. She thought her brother was a little rash in jumping straight to divorce but his wife had been the one to cheat. She nodded, confirming that she would speak to her brother about his eagerness to fuel tabloids. Aisling followed suit when Josie stood up, not wanting to overstay her welcome.

“Thank you for telling me your side of the story.” She said as she straightened out her coat. She couldn’t deny that it was nice to sit down and have a rational conversation with the woman. She reached into her purse and pulled out her phone, making sure she hadn’t missed anything important. “I should probably get going anyways. Macy was out with friends but she should be needing to get picked up soon.” Aisling knew that she didn’t need an excuse to leave but she felt as if she should say something instead of just abruptly leaving.

Josie couldn’t lie, she was glad that Aisling was finally leaving but instead of showing it she put on a strained smile. “Oh you’re welcome and thank you for listening.” She said, relishing in the fact that they seemed to be on good terms now. Well, as good as they could be considering the situation. She listened as Aisling mentioned the fact that her daughter Macy needed to be picked up soon. Josie remembered the fact that Aisling had kids which she always thought was surprising but what could she say the woman seemed cold blooded. “Oh Macy…You have three kids right? Unless you kidnapped Elliot since you never posted baby pictures of him.” Josie laughed a little because it was something she had thought of while stalking Aisling and Robin’s Instagram. It was an inside joke that she had to herself but didn’t actually think was true…well not completely. There was a part of her that did want to throw shade at Aisling because it seemed wrong that she would post baby pictures for her other two kids but not her son’s. She wondered if she and Robin didn’t like their son sometimes. She looked at Aisling while laughing a bit. It was funny to pretend that she had a scandalous secret.

“I thought I was greedy.” She heard Silas say. “And you still are.” She playfully pushed her shoulder. Isla really wanted those chips but she could tell that Silas wasn’t going to get them and she was too lazy to herself.

Isla listened as Silas recounted the story of this guy Jeremiah, more like Germ - miah, and she started chuckling to herself. Then she realized that she had heard that name again recently but couldn’t think of where. As she stared off into space she suddenly remembered, this was the same guy who was trying to put out ai music with Silas’s voice but his page ended up getting deleted. She had never mentioned it to Silas because well, she thought that her team took it down but maybe she didn’t know. “Girl he also put out ai music using your voice too. Did you know that or naw?” She turned to her with a curious expression on her face.

Isla sighed when Silas said that maybe Isabella wanted to be with her. That was what she didn’t want to think of because it would be too much to deal with. “I don’t know…” Suddenly, her phone rang again and she was starting to get a bit annoyed. She wanted to know why she was calling her so much. “I think I’m gonna take it to see what’s up. I’ll be back.” She walked out of the living room and went to the hallway that was a bit farther, then she accepted the call. “Hello?” She said, putting the phone to her ear.

Once Rowan left to go get his “evidence”. Isabella decided to call Isla. She knew this was a new low for her. However, she needed someone she trusted right now. Isla didn’t answer. Isabella called again. She wait as the phone rang. She was a crying mess still from all the information she had just taken in. “NO answer again… ughh. I really wished she would answer me.” Isabella was almost ready to give up. However, she decided to try one last time. Right as she was about to hang up… to her surprise Isla answered. Isabella tried to force her voice so she couldn’t tell she had been crying. “Hey Isla, Are you busy? I could really use someone I trust right now.”

She smiled and chuckled aa little as she said he would have to hear her sing one of these days. “Yeah sure you could hear me sing. O if you wanted to hear me sing sooner you could just find some of my songs online.” Cole then said that he wanted her to tell him more about herself. Savannah was not sure were to start or even what to start with. So she just figured she would start with the basics. “Well I am 32, I am the oldest child in my family and have 2 younger siblings that are twins. I have grown up in California all my life just lived and grew up in a different part until I was 8 then I moved to Beverly Shores.”

It has been awhile since the yacht party and where his wife told him she was pregnant. Since that night they have not really talked about it also he did not fully know how to feel about it. One part he is happy and excited but the other is does he really want to have a kid. Bennett got so used to not having any kids around the house and that way he and his wife have been focusing on there careers. He knew Opal was around so he decided to go find her and just check in with her. “Opal honey do you have time to talk or are you busy?” He knew his wife was home but was not sure if she was in meetings or anything.

Isla heard Isabella’s voice on the other line saying that she really needed someone she trusted right now. Isla wondered what could be so urgent that she needed to call her like 100 times. There was a part of her that was happy to hear from Isabella but for the most part this was supposed to be a time for them to stay away from eachother and think things through. “No I’m not busy right now…” There was a slight edge to her voice while she wondered if it was an emergency or not. She didn’t want to sound rude but she really wanted to know why she was calling her.
