Roxy loved Thursday nights. The night before the weekend. The week was winding down, and usually Teddy and Elle and Roxy would watch a movie. (Sometimes Isla would make an appearance, if she didn't have a business meeting or a sneaky link). They'd usually choose a comedy like Superbad, order food from the restaurant, and cackle endlessly.
Tonight wasn't one of those nights. Elle was cooped up in her room, softly playing her favorite sad songs. Her and Johnny's relationship was on the rocks. Roxy was sitting on the couch reading through her script for her upcoming movie as to prepare for the next day of filming. And Teddy? Well, let's just say him and Oscar were really getting along.
Roxy flipped through the pages of her script, slowly mouthing her lines to herself. Then the door in Teddy's room started slamming. Annoyedly, she rolled her eyes then returned to her script.
Then the screams came. Loud, long and... did I say loud? Roxy, distracted again, huffed and flipped to another part of the script. Then, she heard the sound of the bed scraping against the floor. That was it.
"Teddy!!" Roxy said while knocking on the door. The moans finally stopped.
"Yea?" Teddy asked weakly from inside. Roxy was about to go off on both of them with anger, but realized how much happier Teddy had been since him and Oscar became involved. So, she rolled her eyes once more and said,
"Don't mess up the floors."

"Good morning everyone!" Teddy enthused as he strutted out from his room and plopped down at the kitchen island. Oscar trailed after him, giving the two girls a slight wave when they saw him. Both of them had messed up hair, chapped lips and bathrobes on. Elle and Roxy looked at them grimly. They barely got any sleep last night because they were too busy fucking.
On the table was a whole continental breakfast: eggs, toast, potatoes, bacon, pancakes, waffles. Roxy had gotten up early and stress-cooked (a talent of hers) since Patrick and Oscar were still moaning at 6 AM.
"I haven't slept this well in months" Teddy exclaimed as he spooned some eggs onto his plate.
"You slept?!" Elle asked with shock as she sleepily rested her head on her elbows.
"So what's your guy's plan today? I think Oscar and I are just going to chill in the apartment" Teddy said with a dazed smile. Oscar and him grinned at each other and started kissing again, barely breathing between takes. Elle and Roxy looked at each other with discomfort and unadmitted jealousy.
"Well I have to go talk things over with Johnny today. We have to sort out what's going on. He won't even answer my texts" Elle said and slumped into her chair. She looked awful. Her hair was barely brushed, she had dark bags under her eyes and her pajamas were wrinkled and tear-stained. Roxy would make sure to dress her up before meeting Johnny. You should never get dumped looking bad, Roxy always quipped.
At this point it was clear Teddy and Oscar were barely paying attention to anyone besides themselves, but Roxy decided to answer the question too.
"I have a shooting for As Good As it Gets today. I probably won't be back 'till after dark."
Teddy and Oscar had begun making out once again, so Elle and Roxy decided it was a good time to get ready to skedaddle.

Elle clumped down the sidewalks of the movie set uneasily and dazed. Her heart was beating out of her chest and her head was hot with confusion. Roxy had made her put on some blush and wear heels to make her look like she didn't care about Johnny, but her clammy hands pretty much gave it away.
