'Laura!' Audrey shouted from a distance, hoping Laura would turn around and do something.

Her conscience was correct; Laura turned around. Just not with the look that Audrey had hoped for, all she could see was anger and jealousy from her expression.

All in it, Audrey was still in shock, her breath whiffing out of her, slowly - her heart beats harder than usual. She ambled over, finding her way to Laura who stood in front of her car, weeping in anger. Her eyes were blood shot, red and her legs were shaking from the alcohol.

'Laura,' says Audrey, 'Just so you know, we didn't do anything about his feelings when you two were together, like- like you know... kiss or anything. I wouldn't ever do something like that.'

Laura clenches her fist, still turned away from Audrey. But the moment Audrey finished her sentence, Laura spun around ever so quickly.

'Don't you dare even... You started this. The only person I hate here is you! I hate you! That explains everything, you two must have sneaked around behind my back the whole time.' 

Laura stops. Hoping for a response back from Audrey was useless so she continued.

'This thing isn't one sided either. He has feelings for you, but the real question is: do you have feelings for him?'

Audrey's lips quiver at the question, she couldn't think on what to say. Lies? To please Laura or the truth? Which would make herself feel a ton better.

As Audrey gathered the strength to even reply, Neymar crept up behind her. He heard the question and he waited for Audrey to say something.

Audrey didn't know he was there and she continued to speak.

'I don't feel anything... right now. I just want to go home.'

Neymar looked away in disappointment. He wanted to hear a real answer from her.

Laura nodded. 'Home? You're not coming into my house, so I'll only allow you to pack your things and leave.'

Audrey was going to break down, cry, scream - she wanted to do all of the following but this wasn't who she was. Her heart was sassy and argumentative, not weak.

'What like Neymar did to you?' Audrey questions, folding her arms, making Laura's mouth widen into a shocked expression.

She definitely did not see that one coming.

But before anything could happen, Neymar reached his hand out to grab Audrey's wrist. He pulled her away and began to walk towards his car.

'I'm dropping you off at Laura's house so you can pack your things. Then I'll take you to my house so you have a place to stay for the meanwhile. I will help you get a real place to stay when you need it.'

Audrey turns back to look at Laura who seemed even more vexed. She didn't say anything, she just opened her car door and began to drive off; the cars screeching as she reversed out of the place.

'Thanks,' Audrey mutters, ever so quietly that it was hard for Neymar to figure out what she had said.

Neymar nodded and gave her a warm smile, 'You're welcome, mi amor,' he says, brushing his fingers against her cold, rosy cheek.

She smiles, shivering in the cold air. Her perfect teeth chattered from the breeze, making Neymar notice how cold she was. Her eyes filled with water from the wind, or from what happened earlier. Who knew?

Neymar took his jacket off and placed it around Audrey, warming her up.

'Thanks,' Audrey says again, 'Not just for the jacket, for everything.'

Neymar told her, 'No worries, now let me take you home.'

The two got inside the car, heading towards Laura's home. Audrey needed to gather everything but she didn't want to face Laura again. She didn't have the courage to talk to her again without crying.

There was only one option left. 

She needed to call someone specifically; she needed a distraction.

'Is he the only option you have?' Neymar asks, his eyes on the road as the rain drops splash onto the window screen.

The wipers swished every few seconds as Audrey spun her head to look at concentrated Neymar.

'Yeah, he is. He said he'll be there in ten minutes.'

Rafinha stepped out of the club, following Lydia. She reached the end of the road, waiting miraculously for a taxi to park in front of her so she could go home. But Rafinha already caught up to her before she could get away.

'Lydia, what happened?'

'What do you mean?'

'Something had happened with Neymar, Laura and Audrey, what happened?' Rafinha questioned.

Lydia sighed as she looked down at her feet, 'They argued and the older sister was about to hit me because she thought I was Neymar's girlfriend. But she couldn't hit me because the little sister got there before she could lay a finger on me.'

Rafinha looked at Lydia with an unbelieving look, was Laura really that cruel? How could she say that about Lydia? She had nothing got to do with all of this and now Lydia didn't want to even know any of them any further.

'I'm so sorry, you shouldn't have been disturbed like that.'

'But... Lydia, I want to know you more. You're unique, you're not involved within drama, you're not bothered about wealth and love. You seem like a genuine person and I really want one chance. Please?'

Lydia looks up at Rafinha who waited patiently for her response. She shook her head and walked away, leaving Rafinha in disappointment. He turned away from her and headed the other way, he gave up. It was no use in trying.

But there was a quote that many people say. Never give up.

Lydia paused for a second and spun her head around to see Rafinha's head down as he walked away. She began to feel sorry for him and forced herself to turn around and chase after him.

'Rafinha, wait!'

Rafinha heard his name and turned around, smiling as he saw Lydia catch up with him.

'I'll give you one chance.'
