Olivier (over the phone): He should be arriving soon

Francine: Thanks Ollie. I owe you one

Olivier: If you're grateful, get him out of my apartment

Francine: Hey...

KB: Ollie told me you weren't here

Francine: He lied... I asked him to

KB: (sighs) I'm leaving

Francine: Wait! I need to talk to you

KB: Well I don't want to talk

Francine: KB, please

Francine: I'm sorry... and you're right... You know that I'm not used to affection because I never got much of it growing up since Jackie was always the favorite

Francine: It was hard at first but I got used to not having anyone to confide in and learned to cope. And I was fine until you came along and somehow you knew how to handle my emotions.

Francine: I know I have Jackie and Jules, but Jules can come off as a bit patronising sometimes and with Jackie... it feels like I'm talking to a child... but you get me. And I guess I became dependent on that. On you.

Francine: And then I noticed you had feelings for me and it scared me because I was afraid of changing what we already had and putting our friendship at risk.

Francine: Then I realised my feelings towards you were changing too and it freaked me out because I had to try even harder to avoid what was becoming inevitable.

Francine: So I started drinking and drinking more. I tried hooking up with other guys to get you out of my head but every time I closed my eyes you were all I could think of. I tried so hard, I ended up in the hospital with alcohol poisoning.

Francine: I needed a constant in my life and it was always you so the fear of you not being there anymore, for any reason, terrified me. But I can't fight it now because I love you and I know I can't deny it anymore.

Francine: I don't know when it started but somehow I've reached a point where I know I can't live without you-

KB: I love you Frankie. And my feelings will never change. I'll remind you every day if you need me to.

Frankie: I'll hold you to that. Every day.

KB: Hey

Francine: What?

KB: I know you've been in a bad mood lately because of everything that's going on

Francine: And?

KB: Not and, but. This has got to stop Frankie. Have you even spoken to any of the girls since you moved in?

Francine: Do I need to?

KB: You haven't talked to anyone about how you're feeling, So yes, I think so

Francine: I haven't spoken to anyone because what good would come out of it? The girls can't give me any answers because they know as much as I do, which is nothing!

KB: Well I'm afraid I can't give you any answers either... but I can at least help you feel better

Francine: I'm not supposed to drink-

KB: -Unsupervised

Francine: And you're supposed to be my supervisor for tonight?

KB: What? Am I not good enough?

Francine: ...And then my dad who's such a f*** psychopath apparently convinced my mom to have an affair but that was all a scheme cooked up by my wretched uncle Ferdinand

KB: Hey, don't speak ill of the dead

Francine: Shut up KB

Francine: I always knew I was the only sane one in this family... and poor Raph... I wonder how he's coping. You know, the worst part is, I don't even know if any of it is true, and there's no way for me to confirm it

Francine: I'm so pissed off

KB: Frankie-

Francine: Shut up

KB: Hey, look at me, don't cry

Francine: Shut up. I'm not crying you idiot! And it's not because I'm sad either

KB: Then why is your face wet?

Francine: Because I'm in pain, okay? My stupid... heart hurts and I hate this

KB: Look at me, everything is going to be fine okay? We've gotten through difficult times in the past and we'll get through this too. Together

Francine: Promise me

KB: I promise

Silence

Francine: Is someone going to say something?

Juliette: We're all still digesting things Frankie

Francine: What's there to digest? The lies? The deception? Or the absolute nothingness we've received ever since?

Juliette: Well, that's why we're here now isn't it? To find out what's going on.

Juliette: Jackie, you okay?

Jacqueline: Yeah... I'm just still in shock... and papa hasn't been answering my calls

KB: Why the silence?

Juliette: Hey guys

Francine: Would you be in the mood if this happened to you?

KB: Easy, tiger. I'm just here to help

KB: By the way, I haven't seen Ellie around lately. Does anyone know what's happened to her?

Silence

Olivier: You're an idiot KB

KB: What? You mean the stuff that's in the news about her mom? Don't tell me you believe all that bull

Olivier: KB!

Silence

KB: Come on-

Ingrid: Thank you all for being here

Francine: It's not like there's anywhere else we could go

Juliette: I thought my mother was coming?

Ingrid: Her royal highness has currently paused all work indefinitely and is waiting in the hospital for Her Majesty to awaken

Jacqueline: And our mum?

Ingrid: Her royal highness is awake... but I regret to inform you that she had a miscarriage

Jacqueline: She was pregnant?

Ingrid: Yes your highness, early in her second trimester. I believe she was intending to keep it silent until the pregnancy was safe but the incident was unpredictable.

Ingrid: ... And so, in light of recent events, I was asked to inform you that the decision has been made for the three of you to live separately, temporarily.

Juliette: What?

Ingrid: For the time being, until the news dies down and we are able to find a new, more secure residence for you to move into and complete your education. The decision on whom to stay with has been left up to you but must be approved by Her royal highness.

Francine: Whose idea was this?

Ingrid: Her royal highness, Princess Isabella

Silence

Juliette: I know someone trustworthy I can stay with

Ingrid: Of course your highness, I will just need you to inform me of their name, address and contact information afterwards.

Juliette: Alright

Francine: I'll just stay with KB. He can sleep on the couch

KB: Thanks for asking Frankie

Francine: And if Jackie stays with Ollie, that's it then right?-

Olivier: No, she can't. Sorry.

Francine: Woah! That was intense. So, why not? You haven't been around much lately either so this would be a great chance for the two of you to bond again

Jacqueline: Frankie-

Olivier: I said no

Francine: And I said why not?

Olivier: Look, Ny is pregnant. Right now I'm busy taking care of my girlfriend and my future child so sorry, but no

Francine: Isn't that better then? Since you're staying with Ny, your apartment will be empty

Olivier: No, Frankie! I am not comfortable with another woman staying in my apartment and neither would Ny. End of conversation.

Francine: Another woman?

KB: Dude, she's your best friend

Francine: So the real reason is because Ny is forcing you to stay away from Jackie

Olivier: If you must know, I came to this decision all on my own. I'm capable of doing that, you know. Listen, I'm sorry alright? But my priorities right now are my girlfriend and my child. So Jackie cannot stay in my apartment.

Jacqueline: It's okay, I can stay with Jennie

KB: Jennie, as in Lex's girlfriend?

Francine: Isn't he one of Jackson's friends?

KB: What about Ellie-

Jacqueline: Ellie is MIA okay? So I can't possibly stay with her. And Frankie, Jennie my friend too, okay?

Francine: ... If you say so

Ingrid: I will inform Princess Isabella of your decision.

Juliette: Ingrid?

Ingrid: Yes your highness?

Juliette: Where's Liliana?

Ingrid: ...I cannot comment at this time your highness.

Jennie and Lex are from this post

Francine: F***!

Francine: ...hey

KB: Morning. Do you want something to drink? The coffee's almost done-

Francine: Can we talk?

KB: ...What do you want to talk about?

Francine: Last night... can we please just... act like nothing happened?

KB: What?

Francine: Look, we were both drunk, I was emotional and overwhelmed and we made a mistake. We're both adults so we can just act like nothing happened

KB: I wasn't' drunk Frankie, and just because we act like nothing happened, doesn't mean nothing did

Francine: Please don't be difficult

KB: Difficult?

Francine: Yes! It's not a big deal to sleep with someone and then turn around the next day and just be friends again

KB: It is a big deal Frankie, to me at least

Francine: Why are you being so sentimental all of a sudden?

KB: I've always been like this whenever it had to do with you Frankie, and you know it

Francine: No

KB: Sleeping with you is a line Frankie and now that we've crossed it, I can't act like it never happened

Francine: Yes you can! Just try!

KB: No! I won't and neither should you!

Francine: KB-

KB: I know you have feelings for me Frankie

Francine: Not this again

KB: You can deny it all you want but no one in this world knows you better than I do

KB: I know it and so do you. The reason you're so hellbent on fighting me is because you're afraid

Francine: Shut up

KB: You were afraid before but now you're even more scared because of all the drama about your family in the media

Francine: I'm not afraid of anything

KB: You're afraid of everything. You're afraid that if we start dating, our relationship will change, and if our feelings eventually grow cold, we won't be able to return to being best friends anymore

KB: You're afraid that when everyone else in your life moves on, you'll be left all alone without anyone by your side. So you're trying to hold on to the only person you can: me. Because if all we are is friends, there's no risk, right?

Francine: ...That's bull***

KB laughs

KB: ...Alright then

Francine: KB-

KB: I'm sorry Frankie but I can't give you what you want. I can't pretend last night didn't happn and I can't go back to being just friends with you either. And since you're not willing to move forward, and I'm not willing to go backwards...

KB: Then all we have is this: awkwardness... nothingness

Francine: Wait, what are you talking about?

Francine: Where are you going?

KB: I'll stay at Ollie's until this all blows over and you move out. His apartment is empty and Ny won't have a problem with me staying there.

Francine: So you're not even going to take anything with you?

KB: Ollie will come by later and get some

Francine: So you're just giving up and running away?

KB: I'm not running away Frankie, you are

Her Royal Highness Princess Francine, her husband Kendall Berger and their four children: Lady Veronique, Lord Jacques-Pierre (back), Lord Isaac, and Lord Gregoire (front).

Hi everyone!

This is the last of my next generation posts to celebrate my milestone followers (and apparently my milestone likes, and my simblr anniversary too!)

Thank you all for your love and support for my story and I look forward to walking the rest of the Saliceau journey with you all!

Love, sosa!

[sosa-royals]

Olivier: Jackie, you alright?

Jacqueline: Ooh! It’s Ollie!

Olivier: You’re drunk

Jacqueline: No... maybe a little

Jacqueline: Where’s everyone else?

Olivier: Jules left early, and I can’t find KB or Frankie so we’re the last two standing

Jacqueline: Yay! More fuuun!!

Olivier: You know what? I think you’re done for the night

Jacqueline: Boo!

Olivier: Come on, I’ll get us a cab

Olivier: Jules! You here?

Silence

Olivier: Dammit!

Olivier: There, now have a good night’s rest

Jacqueline: No, wait. I don’t want to be alone. Jules isn’t here. 

Olivier: (sighs) Okay then I’ll wait just until she gets back. 

Jacqueline: ...You wanna know something Ollie?

Olivier: What?

Jacqueline: I’m in love with you

Olivier: What?

Jacqueline: I’ve been in love with you for so long I can’t remember. 

Olivier: Jackie-

Jacqueline: Hear me out, please. I know it sounds dumb: Why was I going out with Jackson if I had feelings for you? it’s because the timing was never right. You were with Nyla and I tried to get over you and Jackson was... seemed like a good guy. But what a train wreck that turned out to be

Olivier: You’re better off without him

Jacqueline: But then it took me dating him to realise how perfect you are Ollie. You’ve always been there for me when he wasn’t. And you’ve been there for me since we were kids in high school. Cheering me up, being my rock... how could I not fall in love with you?

Olivier: Jackie...

Juliette: Looking for someone Jackie?

Jacqueline: Um...

Jacqueline: Um... Ingrid?

Ingrid: How can I help you, your royal highness?

Jacqueline: Has anyone else arrived recently? 

Ingrid: As far as I know miss, everyone that RSVPd is here. 

Jacqueline: Did anyone with the name Jackson RSVP?

Ingrid: No your highness, I’m sorry

Jacqueline: ...Thank you Ingrid...

KB: Dude, are you even listening to me?

Olivier: No

KB: Harsh

Olivier: Excuse me KB

Olivier: I can’t believe it. The birthday girl is actually crying

Jacqueline: It’s not my actual birthday yet

Olivier: But we’re all here to celebrate because of you, aren’t we?

Jacqueline: He should’ve been here

Olivier: Jackie-

Jacqueline: He told me he’d come. He always said he’d come but time after time he’s let me down. And now when I needed him here the most he just...

Olivier: I’m sorry Jackie

Jacqueline: What do I do?

Olivier: I’ll tell you what you’re gonna do. We’re gonna thank God for waterproof makeup while you dry your tears. And then we’re both gonna bo back out there to all the people who did show up for you. We’re all going to sing while you, Frankie and Jules cut your cakes. We’ll dance and drink until the early morning, except Frankie. And for the whole night you won’t think of Jackson once. 

Olivier: Then you’ll spend the next few days doing your royal things and when you’re ready, you’ll give Jackson a call and dump his sorry a**. Because he doesn’t deserve a girl as perfect as you. 

Jacqueline: Thank you Ollie

Olivier: What are best friends for? Now come on, we have three cakes to devour

Francine: For goodness sake

KB: What?

Francine: Aunt Bella is watching me like a hawk

KB: As she should be

Francine: So you’re taking her side?

KB: You know I’m always on your side

Francine: But?

KB: Let’s not push it, okay? Now put down the drink and let’s go somewhere with less surveillance

Francine: You’re such an idiot KB

KB: What happened then was not my fault

Francine: It was entirely your fault

KB: You were the person who set her off

Francine: (laughs) Because you gave me confidence that you could handle it. I wouldn’t have provoked her so much if I knew you would f*** it up that badly

KB: Yeah well, it all worked out in the end. But I only did it for you so you should be happy

Francine: Of course I am

KB: You should be grateful to me too

Francine: Should I? Now you’re just pushing it

Francine: Wait! Oh my God!

KB: Frankie-

Francine: T-This was a mistake

KB: Frankie, wait

Francine: No! This never happened okay? So don’t think about it and don’t speak about it! Ever!

KB: Why are you trying so hard to deny that you have feelings for me?

Francine: You’re delusional

KB: It would be easier for me to accept your behaviour if that were the truth! But I know I’m not delusional and so do you!

KB: Frankie!

KB: Tell me you feel nothing when I hold your hand

Francine: I feel nothing

KB: You’re lying

Francine: No I’m not

KB: Then what about when I do this?

Francine: ...Still nothing

KB: I can feel your heart racing

Francine: Let go of me before I punch you in that pretty face of yours
