Crestfallen

Chapter 6

March 13

(8:00 p.m) 

Lilium looked at the clock on the wall waiting for Crina to get out of the shower so they could have their game night. It is tradition that they hold game night on nights when they don't have to perform. It isn't very often that they can just become lazy and play The Game of Life. 

She was rather tried from dealing with the problems of the day. Mr. Miller, James, had been rather nice compared to Kevin about the whole reality television show. Unlike Kevin who had told the girls that they were going to do the reality show and not give them an option. James had allowed the girls a while to think over the idea of actually appearing on television, which of course they did. 

The men were completely opposite, but as Crina had advised, never judge people from an hour supper. She had to agree with Crina, though he may have appeared nice at first there was always the chance that he was just as controlling as Kevin! 

Kevin is a very unusual character as she could say, the only thing she knew was that he was an odd man. He wanted them to be lesbians so they slowly became lesbians. If he wanted them to dance on a tight rope while wearing green pointe shoes they'd dance on a tight rope wearing green pointe shoes. He was their manager and as such he was in charge.

He directed the video for About You when they were fourteen, wearing school girl outfits and singing in the streets of Barcelona. The girl's parents thought that the girls were far too young to wear the school girl outfits, let alone make out in the shower while naked. The music video had at first been banned in many European countries because of the underage girls naked in a shower. This was resolved when they reshot a newer version where they were making out in the rain. Though the shower music video is still more popular across the world.

 Lilium's parents had nearly killed Kevin when they first saw the music video. Of course Crina told them that they weren't really like that and that it was all an act. Crina was good to her like that, however, she actually thought they were real. Of course, they weren't real, they were an act. And for some reason Crina bought the act. 

Crina thought that the loved they shared was real, though Lilium was unsure if she knew this or not. Whatever the answer was she knew Crina was actually in love with Lilium. And she hated to admit it but she was beginning to grow attached to Crina. She shouldn't have those feelings though, to think that they were actually real. 

All they were was an act, nothing more, but God, Crina was always there. She needed to rid herself of Crina, no she wanted Crina. I'm going mad! She thought as the images of Crina pilled up in her head. 

This relationship they had was nothing, no it was something, they were friends. That was it, maybe not, she didn't know. All she knew was that Crina was there haunting her thoughts, she was always there, driving her out of her mind! 

Crina walked out of the bathroom door, Lilium straighten up the game board. She made sure she looked like she was actually not staring at her, in a way that brought on emotions anyway. 

"Good I hate setting up that damned board." Crina whined as she plopped herself in the small dining room chair. 

The room in which they stayed in was small but comfortable, though Crina had called the place a shitty hole in the wall when they first arrived. Did it matter to Lilium what the place looked like? Of course, all that mattered was they were here. 

"I assume you want red," Lilium sighed. "I choose white so it is my color! No stealing this time!" 

"I only do that with money and those life tile thingys." Crina replied with a wide, toothy grin on her pretty face. "Besides, you always have the salary cards arranged in a way that makes you get the one-hundred thousand dollar salary and not me. So don't complain about me stealing colors."
