Line 188:
Lilith. Angela. Lilith. Angela. Those were the only two people Dustin could think about that morning, he felt guilt at kissing Lilith, but he's always connected with her more than Angela, losing her as a friend over the last few months crushed him. But Angela, Angela was cute, fun, and had a dark side that nobody else seemed to know. Dustin was caught between the two Pleasants, and he had no idea what to do. He wished his father was still around to talk him through his girl trouble.
"Dustin, honey are you alright? You've barely touched your leftovers." his mother [[Brandi Broke|Brandi]] showed genuine concern. Being a single mother of three boys must be tough for her, especially with [[Beau Broke|Beau]] starting pre-school soon and baby [[Unborn baby Broke|Brian]]{{#tag:ref|Brandi is pregnant at the start of the game with her third son.|name=baby|group=note}} still demanding attention, Dustin wonders how Brandi finds the time for him.
"Mom? If you were stuck between two guys but you were scared to hurt either of their feelings, what would you do?" he found himself asking, If he couldn't ask Skip, he could ask Brandi.
Line 196:
"''Yo Lil, i think we should tell her before whoever saw us does, also i need to talk to u - D''" Suprisingly, Lilith texted back within about 10 seconds.
"''Wat! R U Crazy? We hav to keep their mouth shut, Ang will kill me, literally probs. - L''" Dustin saw how worried Lilith was about Angela finding out, but no matter what she was going to eventually, Dustin couldn't keep this inside forever.
''8:39am, Pleasantview Community High School''
Line 208 ⟶ 209:
"I can't believe you Lilith, you and I broke up only a month ago because you weren't ready to go to the next step, but it looked like you were completely ready to go to the next step with him!" Dirk pointed at Dustin with disgust, and Dustin's anger level rose to a whole new high.
"It was YOU? You're dead Dreamer!" Dustin threw a punch, knocking Dirk to the ground. Lilith grabbed onto Dustin's shoulder and held him back from doing anything else. Angela saw red once again and shoved Lilith. The bell rang and [[Andrea Hogan|Mrs. Hogan]]{{#tag:ref|Andrea Hogan is a female adult townie in Pleasantview.|name=andrea|group=note}} called over to the fighting teens.
"Dreamer, Broke, and both the Pleasants! My office, now!"
''9:10am, Pleasantview Town Hall''
Mary-Sue was doing important filing work at the town hall where she worked when she got the call. Work was her only escape from the hell of being a single mother of two squabbling daughters.
"Ms. Pleasant? This is Mrs. Andrea Hogan, I'm afraid your daughter has been involved in an altercation at school this morning." Mary-Sue groaned, Lilith had been so good about not causing fights the previous day, what happened?
"What's Lilith done now then?"
"Actually, it was Angela that was the problem, she attacked Lilith outside the school." Mary-Sue was shellshocked. Angela? She wasn't violent, she was the victim. Mary-Sue was ready to storm down to the school and talk to that headmistress, when she was called into a meeting by her boss.
"Look, I can't come right now I'm really swamped at work, so please just deal with it."
"But Ms. Pleas-" and with that, Mary-Sue hung up.
''11:01am, 215 Sim Lane''
Angela was given a weeks detention for attacking Lilith, as well as Dustin for punching Dirk. In addition, everyone involved in the fight was sent home. With Mary-Sue at work, being alone with Angela was the most awkward thing imaginable for Lilith. There was this thick air of silence for the next five minutes upon entering the house, Lilith expected that she was about to get into another fight, but Angela stayed dead silent. Eventually, Angela went up to her room and didn't come back down for another half hour. Lilith went to her bedroom to change, and heard from the room across from hers a soft sob. Lilith couldn't help but feel a small inch of guilt, but in a way she felt glad that Angela was feeling what Lilith felt when she announced that Dustin had asked her on a date, a feeling of losing someone you thought you had a connection with, the only difference was that Lilith actually had something special with Dustin and Angela clearly didn't. Lilith decided to not spend another moment grappling between her simultaneous guilt and hatred for Angela, and instead go visit Dustin and see how he is after the events of that morning.
''11:38am, 55 Woodland Drive''
Lilith knocked on Dustin's door, this was the first time she'd been inside the Broke house in months. She missed it a lot, she missed Brandi and little Beau and Brian, she missed spending time with Dustin in his bedroom. She waited for a minute, and it was Brandi who opened the door.
"Oh hey Lilith, look Dustin's grounded for now, so maybe come back in a few days." Brandi said calmly, she was about to shut the door but Lilith put her foot over the frame.
"Please Ms. Broke, ten minutes is all I want." Brandi considered it for a second, before letting Lilith in.
"Ten minutes." Brandi re-iterated, and gestured to Dustin's room. Lilith knocked first and opened, Dustin was playing on his pinball machine.
"Mom please I'm bu- Lil?" Dustin looked surprised to see her.
"Hey, your mom gave me ten minutes but that's all I really need. Can I sit?" Lilith gestured to the bed, Dustin nodded and sat with her. This brought back memories of the previous night, did she really need to be sitting on a bed with Dustin again?
"Last night, when we kissed. That wasn't a mistake, was it. At least it wasn't for me." Lilith felt awkward springing that subject on him first, but they had to talk about what happened, there was no way around it. Dustin sighed.
"Honestly Lil, it wasn't a mistake. What was a mistake was letting her find out about it from Dirk Dreamer, it would have been kinder to tell her ourselves, that's why I wanted to do that this morning." Lilith saw his point, finding out about it from Dirk must have been heartbreaking for Angela. But then again, Lilith found out straight from Angela about Dustin asking her out and was hurt the same way.
"I wish I didn't say yes when she asked me out. I like Angela, but she was always more of a friend to me. I lead her on and that wasn't okay at all. We're all young though, we make mistakes I guess. And you know what also wasn't okay?" Dustin asked.
"What?"
"Ignoring what we had. That wasn't right. Sometimes I feel like Angela only dated me to spite you, sometimes I feel like she actually genuinely liked me. It's hard to tell." Lilith didn't speak, she just listened.
"If I'm honest, I like you a lot Lil. I like you the way I wanted to like Angela." Dustin held Lilith's hand and looked straight into her eyes as he spoke. Lilith gave Dustin a small kiss, then decided to ask him a question that had always plagued her mind.
"Then why didn't you tell me, why did you chose Angela? Why did you make me feel like that only to go off with Angela?" Lilith wanted the truth on this, that was one thing Dustin failed to answer previously.
"I'm young, I'm new to love, and when she asked me out I just said yes. I didn't have the guts to say no because I feared hurting her, but I just ended up hurting you both in the end." Dustin explained. Lilith took a deep breath and they sat in silence for a moment.
"So, where does that leave us." Lilith asked. Dustin sighed sadly.
"We've spoken more in the last two days than we have in the last seven months, and already we've become a high school scandal. The boy who kissed his girlfriend's twin. Lil I really like you, and I've told you more about my life than Angela has ever bothered to ask, but we need to wait for this to die down before we can really continue." Dustin said with a sad expression. Lilith was upset, but he was right, they needed some space. Lilith was about to go in for the kiss, but stopped herself, she simply stood up, sadly said goodbye, and left.
''4:59pm, 215 Sim Lane''
With Dustin asking for space, and wanting to avoid Angela. Lilith spent the rest of the morning and afternoon at the arcade. Eventually, she realised she would have to face the dreaded place called home. Lilith slipped inside, Mary-Sue was watching television and Angela was probably still upstairs. Lilith decided to chill upstairs too, listen to some music, forget about the events of that day. When Lilith opened her bedroom door, she received a nasty shock. All her clothes and makeup was thrown across the floor, her mattress pushed off her bed, her alarm clock lay broken on the floor. Angela had trashed Lilith's room. Lilith picked up her broken clock and dropped it once again, she barged into Angela's room.
"You trashed my room?!" she shouted. Angela swivelled round in her desk chair.
"And? You trashed my relationship. You trashed my reputation. That's all you do isn't it Lilith, trash things. Maybe it's because you're utter trash!" Angela's voice rose to a screech, she stood up quickly and pushed away her chair.
"Why are you so upset, you only asked Dustin out to spite me." Lilith finally told Angela what she felt.
"And what if I did? At the end of the day, he stayed with me, he said yes! We were real!"
"Yeah, well if you were so real why did he kiss me when he hasn't even so much as kissed your cheek? If you were so real how come I know more about his deepest thoughts and feelings than you do? You know what's real? Me and Dustin!" Lilith began to yell, and Angela slapped her. The twins had a stare off, both of them felt each other's intense anger. Lilith broke the silence.
"I'm staying at [[Coral Oldie|Grandma]] and [[Herb Oldie|Grandpa's]] tonight." Lilith calmly, stated. She walked out the door and didn't look back, knowing that she'd be returning the next morning anyways.
"Don't come back!" Angela yelled from her window. Lilith just kept walking. As she walked to her grandparent's house, she put her earbuds in. "Monster" by Gabbie Hanna{{#tag:ref|Gabbie Hanna - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jG4dGZTMDU4 ''Monster'']|name=monster|group=note}} came on shuffle, a song Lilith could relate to in her life at many moments in her life. Maybe she was the monster who had been here all along{{#tag:ref|A reference to a lyric from "Monster".|name=monsterlyrics|group=note}}. As she walked, she came by Dustin's house, wanting to go in so badly, but she couldn't, she had to respect Dustin's need for space if she had any chance of being close to him again.
''5:31pm, 50 Middle Lane''
Lilith knocked on the door in the freezing cold, Coral answered in her bathrobe.
"Lilith, what a pleasure! Do come in dear." Coral gestured for Lilith to come in, seeing her granddaughter was one of her favorite things. Unlike Mary-Sue, Coral deeply cared for Lilith, in fact she had no bias towards the twins at all, you can tell Mary-Sue was adopted by their drastically different personalities alone{{#tag:ref|Herb and Coral adopted Mary-Sue, as shown in their memories.|name=adopted|group=note}}.
"Grandma, can I stay the night? I'm not gonna bore you with details, but things aren't great right now and I could just use a night off." Lilith tried not to cry into Coral's shoulder. Coral hugged her.
"Of course dearest, tell you what. You help Herb out with the garden, and I'll make you some cocoa, would you like that?" Coral said in her honey-sweet voice. Lilith nodded. While she was out in the garden helping her grandfather, it took her mind off things for a while. Sometimes Lilith wished Coral and Herb raised her and not Mary-Sue and Daniel. Of course, once she retreated to her bedroom, the thoughts began to plague Lilith once more. She wondered how much it would take for Dirk to hate her less than he does, how long she would need to put up with an even angrier version of Angela, and when Dustin and her would be able to live out what they both want.
