[SHILOH SKYLAR DRAKE]

shiloh skylar drake grimaced to herself as she stared at her reflection in her full length mirror. she would have to go shopping soon, it was inevitable. none of her jeans would fit anymore. they fit in the legs perfectly fine, but it was in the waist area where she was having some problems. she played it off as bloating or maybe gaining a little extra weight. but with as much dancing and exercising the teen done, not many were fully believing that. the small brunette sighed to herself as she brought her hands to her stomach. the tight blue tank top didn't do much for hiding the slight bump that was clearly transparent. which is why on top of it she wore a loose flannel shirt, the same color as her shorts. this would be probably be the way she spent the next seven to eight months, wearing baggy clothes and praying no one noticed her growing figure. but that was hard to do when you were a household name in hollywood. shiloh's green eyes welled up with tears as she stared at the mirror. how could this have happened? well, she knew how it happened. but how could she have let it happen?

her mind whirled back to the day that she had found out the truth. she had gotten sick in the mornings for a whole week. shiloh had figured it was just the flu and had told her family such. but she had suspected the worse. so she done the only thing she could. she went out in disguise and bought a pregnancy test. it seemed like no one had noticed here, so she went right on with her business. coming home, she had locked herself in her bathroom. preparing to take the test. in shiloh's eyes her whole future had ridden on this result. and the four minutes she had to wait afterwards, felt more like four hours. maybe even days. and even after the time was up, she just sat on the bathroom floor, not bothering to check. shiloh supposed it was because deep down, she knew the answer. and she was just too much of a chicken too now face the consequences of her actions. finally after what seemed like eternity, she gathered the courage to stand up and go face the results. staring at the pink plus sign, her heart broke in half. her whole world shattered right in front of her eyes. all she could remember was staring into the mirror, her green eyes wide with fear and her perfect mouth dropped open in a look of shock.

she had told nobody. there was no way this could get out. but it was inevitable, she would get bigger and no matter how much she wanted to believe that baggy clothes would be her solution, she knew it was stupid. she would have to tell her parents and her sister. shiloh could only imagine the looks of anger and disappointment they would have after she broke the news. but, most of all, shiloh couldn't believe she had been so stupid. how could she have let a guy get her into bed? a guy she barely knew, who had smooth talked and charmed her right into sleeping with him. shiloh wasn't that kind of girl. and she knew that she should have walked out before things had gone too far. but she had convinced herself that just a few more minutes with him would be okay. just a few more minutes.. yeah, will now she saw just how far a few more minutes had gotten her. her life was over. her career would never be the same and her name would be ground into the dirt.

stepping away from the mirror, shiloh wiped her eyes. maybe, she could convince herself that everything was okay, that everything was going to be okay. at least for one night. very quietly, the young brunette snuck into the large kitchen and fetched some popcorn out of one of the cabinets. sticking it in the microwave, she grabbed a large bowl while waiting for the popcorn to finish popping. after doing so, she poured it into the bowl, discarding the bag. then with bowl in hand, she headed back up the stairs. stopping at her twin sister, avery's, room. shiloh knocked loudly, before swinging the door open. she often did this to her sister and never really thought anything of it. she slipped in, shutting the door behind her. the bowl placed in front of her stomach, you couldn't really tell unless you were specifically looking for the bump. but she was self conscious never the less. "hey." she began as she sat down on her sister's bed. "i brought a snack." the fifteen year old stated with a smile.

[AVERY NOELLE DRAKE]

avery's eyes lit up as they scanned over the post again. it had been a long time since she had gotten a good laugh but this latest post about her sister being pregnant was making her day. it was ridiculous the things that people came up with. shiloh had told avery that her pants were getting a little tight but avery didn't notice a thing. she was just glad she had avoided the hot gossip so far. if there was something in the world that the fifteen year old hated, it was people talking behind her back. that was her only worry about signing on to renegade a year ago. she didn't want all the drama and back stabbing that came with being famous. so it was no surprise for one of the twins to finally be mentioned on the ever so famous poise dot com. they were, afterall, the youngest clelebrities renegade had ever hired and they were pretty damn good at what they did. shiloh with her dancing and avery with her modeling, they made an amazing team. the young girl was actually quite surprised it had taken this long for something to get out about them.

pushing away from the computer, she made her way to her bathroom that was attached to her room and brushed through her long brown hair, still wet from the shower she had taken earlier. avery quickly got aggravated at her hair that didn't want to do what she wanted and leaned against the sink staring at her reflection. her eyes gazed her entire body and she shook her head in frusteration. maybe she was the one gaining weight, not her sister. pathetic, and she was supposed to be the model. her eyes shifted from her bedroom door to the medicine cabinet in front of her face. biting her lip she carefully removed the bottle of weight loss pills she had ordered off the internet. ignoring the label that read take only one pill every twenty four hours, she tossed back three. avery took a drink from the water fountain and left her bathroom trying to forgot about what she had just done.

the brunette was far from tired yet she knew she needed sleep. she had a photoshoot at seven the next morning and she was sure she wouldn't make it through. maybe with the help of a couple thousand red bulls but the thought of putting that in her body disgusted her. av plopped her butt back down in the chair she had just vacated and type twitter into the search box. same old same. aiden getting shut down by harlie, again. colton and emmy fighting over some girl, again. chandler hitting on anything that walks, again. everyone thought the life of the famous was so exciting but if they really only knew how they spend their weekends. everyone would be greatly disappointed.

boredom was reaching in all time high at the drake house. it was a weekend night like this that the youngest twin longed for a boyfriend. yes it was true, even famous people wanted a boy toy. and surprisingly enough it was pretty had for someone to find a good boyfriend regardless of how hot every guy at renegade studios was. avery layed her head down on the dusk dreaming of her perfect guy. he would be hot, obviously. sweet, trustworthy, famous. no scratch that last part. she didn't care if he was famous as long as he treated her nice. it was great to daydream but the twins barely had time to hang out with each other in their busy schedules much less add a boy into the equation.

the smell of popcorn entered avery's room and her mouuth began to water and her stomach growled. she really needed to eat something. she was about to push herself up to go find the source of the popcorn when shiloh walked in carrying a huge bowl filled to the brim with perfectly white popcorn. even though she was happy to see her twin, she couldn't help but roll her eyes slightly as she entered without waiting to be told to. that had always been a huge pet peeve with avery and usually insisted on people knocking before coming in. however she choose to let it slide tonight, not wanting to start up the ongoing battle between the two again. "mmhh thanks." she replied reaching out and grabbing a small handful of the delicious snack. there was many things that the two disagreed on but they both loved their popcorn. 'so i know these reporters have completely lost their mind and that you're not pregnant, but who would you be buying a pregnancy test for? who do we know that's expecting?" she asked as she stuffed another piece of popcorn in her mouth. she could already feel every last bite going straight to her hips. her manager was going to flip on her.
