^Madison Beer as Tiffany Beneventi

-2 weeks later-

"Lyla.... Ly, are you alright?"
"What? Sorry Ben, did you say something?" I question Jacks youngest brother as he stares at me, worry laced into his soft brown eyes.
"I asked if you're alright?" He repeats. "You look a bit... Distracted."
"Oh.. Yeah, I'm fine", I respond with the most reassuring smile possible as the rest of the Silvagni's send me worried looks.
"I swear" I add raising both hands in the air.
"I'm just exhausted from work, that's all." I lie with a smile. Work has been exhausting but the lest of my worries but more like a certain evil brunette trying to steal my boyfriend.
"Well I hope your not pushing yourself to much dear. How's it all going?" Jacks mother Jo questioned me with a kind smile as she begins to refill everyone's glass with sweet orange juice around the breakfast table.
"It's going great! I'm really enjoying being back! I'm working with some incredible people. My first cover of Vanity Fair is being published tomorrow actually." I exclaim proudly as I look around the table to all their supportive faces.
"At the moment I'm just taking everything as it comes while focusing more on the important things this time" I affirm as I clutch onto Jacks strong hand that was rested on top of  the table next to me while sending him a loving smile as he flashes me one back supportively as he gives my hand a gentle squeeze and runs his thumb over my palm soothingly.
Even though our relationships blow occurred over a month ago, the wounds were still healing. I know Jack has forgiven and forgotten, but that doesn't mean that I have to myself. I don't think I ever could.
"Lyla and I actually have an announcement" Jack announces as he stares at both our joint hands.
"I know it's quite unexpected, but we both agree that we both need this." Jack concludes as he sends me an overjoyed smile.
"Ly and I, well we...-" Jack begins tumbling over his words.
"Are you pregnant?" Jo asks me, her tan face now a pale white as everyone at the table drops their cutlery and stares at her in shock.
"What?!" Jack shouts with a horrified expression plastered over his face.
"Mum, no! Lyla and I are traveling to Italy!" Jack exclaims desperately as I sit there, paralysed with shocked.
"Oh." Jo mutters as she places a hand on her forehead.
"Thank god" she mummers.
"So... You two are of to Italy, hey?" Stephen questions quickly, desperate to forget about that awkward moment beforehand.
"Ye-yeah.. We leave next week actually" I stutter.
"My modelling agency, IMG wants to do a documentary on me and my family's background while completing some photo shoots with Jack for Vogue Italia since no one really knows much about me."
"Well I'm sure they would want to! It's quite the story you have to share Lyla." Stephen smiles as I send him a forced one back. Talking about my life story has never been easy for me to talk about with anyone. I always made sure to keep it sheltered away from the world, especially now with my career and the violating press, but as I've grown, I've realised my past is only holding me back. So now I have decided to face my fears and overcome them as I will return to Italy to embark on a new milestone in my life, to learn more about myself and my broken family and to share my story with the world and to show that I'm not afraid anymore.
"Are you planning on visiting any of your family while you're there Lyla?" Tom, Jacks youngest brother questions me sweetly as I feel my heart skip a beat as my palms begin to sweat violently.
"You idiot!" Jack whispers harshly as he slaps his brother across his shoulder as Jo and Stephen exchange worried glances.
"Ow! What was that for?!" Tom cry's out to his older brother.
"Jack, stop it. He doesn't know, it's okay." I whisper as I send Tom a comforting smile while holding Jacks arm firmly as he continues to glare at his brother, fuming with anger.
"No, no I'm not Tommy. It's more of a work trip." I reply as plainly as possible.
There is no way I would be seeing any of my family. They already arranged that for me the day they gave me up.

-7 days later, 10 o'clock-
"Charlie! You made it!" I yell happily over the clubs loud pounding music as I throw my arms around Charlie's neck and clumsily fall onto his chest as he grips my waist and holds me up tightly. Tonight Jack and I were celebrating our last night in Melbourne before flying out to Rome tomorrow afternoon with the Carlton boys and all of their partners that both Jack and I have become great friends with.
"Lyla! Are you ok?! How much have you had to drink?!" He yells with a chuckle back. Charlie is such a great guy. Ever since I met him the night of the team dinner we've been incredibly close.
"Yeah I'm fine-"
"Lyla, oh my god! Who new you were going to be here?! I definitely didn't!
A screechy female voice announced as she strutted out of the dark shadow Charlie's large body produced.
"I'm Tiffany, but I'm sure you already new that" the girl added as she flung her hair over her bare shoulder and flew a wink to Zac Fisher, the one of many boys who was starring at her wide eyed. It was hard not to as she stood there in barley anything but a silver cocktail dress that finished high up her thigh with no back and 7 inch heals making my crop top and jeans look like grandma clothing.

"Tiffany" I reply with the fakest smile I can muster to the girl that threatened my relationship at the team dinner last week.
"Your right I don't think anyone could ever forget you."
"Hahahaha, omg, you're so funny." She adds sarcastically while she flicks her extensions over her fake tanned shoulder as Jack comes up and snakes his arm around my waist.
"Everything okay babe?" Jack asks as he looks Tiffany up and down in disgust.
"Oh, hey Jack" Tiffany flirts as she flutters her ridiculously long eyelashes as she prances up to Jack and pushes me off his side firmly as I stumble backwards into Dennis Armfield who stares at the scene unfolding in front of us with shock as the rest of the team here tonight.
"Lyla, are you ok?!" Dennis asks me worriedly as I leave him unanswered as I stare daggers into the girl rubbing her 2 inch nails over my boyfriends chest. I've had enough of this bitch. She can threaten me and say whatever she wants to my face but there is know way I will stand here and watch her throw herself all over a startled Jack.
"Hey Tiffany!" I yell out as she turns and faces me with an annoyed expression as Jack gazes at me with a shocked one.
"Yes?" She questions with annoyance.
"Jack doesn't look like his having to much fun over there, do you mind getting off my boyfriend and putting a pare of pants on, I think everyone would appreciate that".
"Everyone would appreciate that huh?" She questions with a wicked smirk.
"I think I know what everyone would appreciate hearing about you Amidala, don't you think?"
