Laura walks with Neymar as she tells him, 'Tell everyone that we're getting engaged,' Laura squeals and Neymar nods but his mind was elsewhere. His head spun as his eyes scanned the room, in search for Audrey.

When he found her, she seemed okay, a bit tense but not that bad. He sighed in relief that she was okay but that wasn't the reality, she was just dying inside.

As Laura and Neymar found their way to the front so they could make an announcement, Audrey stared at Neymar with no emotion found on her face. Neymar had noticed and it pained him that he couldn't go over to her and explain.

'Attention, everyone,' Neymar announces, clearing his throat so everyone looks over at him.

'So, today is a good day, it's my birthday and you've all made it special. There's been one person, especially who made this great because it was, after all, her idea. That was Audrey,' he says as he looks at her, the whole time.

Everyone turn to look at her, and she doesn't react much, she just looks down. Then once Neymar starts talking again, all heads turn back to him.

'And, that's it, I think,' says Neymar, trying to get away but Laura grabs his arm.

'That wasn't it! Neymar's being a bit shy so I'd like to say that we are getting engaged soon since he's already found me the perfect ring. I couldn't be any happier!'

The crowd goes wild with gasps and chatter. No one had expected that.

Leo looked at Neymar, frowning of unsureness and then turned to Audrey who couldn't, clearly, take it any longer so she called Sergio and Gareth to pick her up. She just needed to get away from it all.

After the announcement was over, Neymar scurried over to where Audrey had stood earlier, wondering where she went. Laura had gone over to his parents, trying to please them.

Leo saw Neymar's face, he had truly feared what had just happened, given by his facial expression. He didn't want to get engaged to Laura anymore, that was a year ago.

'If you're looking for Audrey, she's gone,' says Leo, walking over to Neymar.

'What do you mean she's gone?' asked Neymar, panicking.

'She left.'

'N-no. We were busy, what-'

'I'm guessing the whole engagement thing is a misunderstanding, isn't it?' Leo questioned.

'Yeah, I'll clear it up, but I need to know where Audrey went. We weren't finished,' says Neymar, quickly.

Leo saw the familiar car parked in front of the house. It was Sergio's but he was debating to himself if he should tell Neymar.

'I think she got a lift home,' says Leo and with that, Neymar ran off, leaving everything behind.

Meanwhile, Audrey is sat in the car, staring out of the window with no words. Sergio looks at Gareth through the rear-view mirror and gives him a look.

'Audrey...'

'I just need to get home,' she says, quietly.

Gareth and Sergio say nothing to her throughout the ride. It was quiet, strangely. Usually, they had a lot to say, even if Audrey was upset but clearly, Sergio was up to something big.

Once Audrey arrived, she muttered a quiet, 'Thank you,' but Sergio and Gareth continued to follow Audrey to her doorstep, making her raise an eyebrow.

'Did you think we'd leave without making sure you're okay?' Gareth asks, smiling at her.

Audrey sighed. Most people wouldn't have friends like this to make sure they were okay. So she gratefully accepted their kind help.

They walked in, Gareth and Sergio by her side.

'Staying in Barcelona has actually been a good idea,' Sergio says, smiling, 'Because we met you.'

Audrey hugged both of them and made them sit down as she freshened herself in the bathroom. 

Sergio walked upstairs into Audrey's room, leaving his phone, intentionally on her bed. Then he hurried downstairs before she saw him and sat down with Gareth. Minutes later, Audrey skipped downstairs in casual clothes.

'You boys are watching... Teletubbies?' Audrey asks, walking into the room and looking at them with a confused face.

'Um, no! Of course, not!' Sergio mumbles, attacking Gareth so he could take the remote from his hand, 'We were going to watch the news.'

Audrey bursts into laughter and then realises she still had makeup on her face so she ran back upstairs to wash her face.

On a perfect timing, the doorbell rang, making Sergio jump to the door. He swings the door to see Neymar.

'Um, is Audrey here?'

'Yeah, she's upstairs, you'll find her in her bedroom maybe,' Sergio says as he lets him in.

While Neymar walked up the stairs, Sergio rolled his eyes. He had to talk to him. Ew, he thought to himself. Little did he know, Neymar had the exact same reaction.

But that wasn't the most important thing on his mind, Audrey was the only thing in his head. Neymar rushed to her bedroom, seeing that no one was there. All the splashing came from the indoor bathroom. Though, someone's phone was on her bed, making him check what bright device it was.

It was left on a chat, making Neymar pick up the phone. It was no one other than Laura and the date written was three years ago, a few months after Neymar and Laura began to date.

DATE: three years ago

Laura: hey, sergiiiioo❤️ mon amour!

Sergio: is that french, beautiful?

Laura: of course☺️ can we meet today?

Sergio: yeah, finally! you haven't met me in weeks!

Laura: I know, I know! but I've been busy bb!

Sergio: got to meet at the club theennnn

Laura: he'll be there, though!

Sergio: who?

Laura: Neymar

Sergio: god, just dump him already!

Neymar dropped the phone on the floor, his jaw clenching and his fist tensing up. The anger inside him built up so high. 

Audrey heard a noise and yelled, 'Sergio, Gareth, what are you doing?'

No response. Neymar didn't hesitate for a second to run downstairs and out of the door, making Sergio follow after him.

'I wanted to tell you, I would've told you sooner but I loved Laura until I realised she didn't care about me at all,' Sergio yelled from the door.

Just as Neymar got inside his car, he shouted, 'Get away from me, don't make me punch you.'

Neymar sped out of the driveway, not returning, leaving Sergio to walk back inside. By the time he entered the living room, Audrey had come back to downstairs with Sergio's phone.

'It must've dropped because it's cracked now,' she said, worryingly as she held up the phone.

Sergio doesn't say much, it was almost as if he had expected it.

'Why aren't you worried? Who was that at the door, anyway?' Audrey asks, suspiciously, a frown appearing on her forehead.

Gareth looks at Sergio with a death stare because he then realises what had just happened in the last few minutes. This was all part of his plan. He knew this was his chance to show Neymar everything.

'Fuck.' mutters Gareth, making Audrey look even more concerned.
