Heartbreak And Karma

**Heartbreak and Karma** is the twelfth episode of the Adelaine Jones Saga and the seventy-eighth episode overall in Milo's One-shot Series book.

## Plot

On a cold Friday evening, Lexi went to the restaurant that she and Edward Woods were going to have their date in. With Edward not responding though, Lexi nervously went into the restaurant to find Edward, only to find him with Marienne Avery from the cheerleading department. When confronted about it, Edward told Lexi that he fell out of love with her, and decided to start dating Marienne two months ago. Devastated, Lexi ran out of the restaurant crying before she phoned her father Alex, who came back to pick her up just fifteen minutes after he dropped her off.

After Lexi was picked up by Alex, the two drove back home as Lexi's makeup was ruined by her tears. She contemplated her now-former relationship with Edward and wanted to tell her best friend Adelaine Jones about it, who herself is in a long-term relationship with Hugh Anderson. Lexi and Alex went back home, with her mother Cathy quickly noticing, and concerned about Lexi's streams of makeup after a moment of confusion about why she was home so early.As Cathy attempted to understand why her daughter was crying, Lexi's brother, Sammy noticed the situation, and when Lexi told her family about Edward's affair, the entire family was shocked. Sammy in particular was enraged, threatening to kill Edward for breaking his sister's heart, though he was warned to not do so.

Lexi then went to the shower to calm herself down and also to wash her ruined makeup off. When she got back to her bedroom though, Edward pour salt on Lexi's wounds by scolding her for ruining his night with Marienne. Lexi nearly cried again before her parents bid her goodnight. Later in the night in the Jones' household, Adelaine bid her mother goodnight before she went downstairs to say goodnight to her father, only to wound up eavesdropping on his conversation with Alex as the two talked about Lexi's situation. Jones told Adelaine about Lexi's terrible night out, with Adelaine also angry at Edward's betrayal of her best friend. As she went back to her room, Adelaine could only sigh as she knows that she has to help Lexi with her terrible night.

The next morning, Lexi was woken up by Sammy, who took her downstairs for breakfast. While eating breakfast, Sammy told his family that he'll be going out on a date with his girlfriend Audrey Willington in order to vent his anger of what happened yesterday. Lexi was disheartened while Sammy felt that he was offensive for going out on a date the day after his sister suffered a break-up, though his parents quickly told the two that what happened was neither's fault. After finishing his breakfast and finishing his dress-up, Sammy went out to meet Audrey, who was outside of his house. After a little bit of talking, Sammy and Audrey began to make out, though he quickly pulled away when he realized that by doing so, he could offend Lexi and panicked before he managed to tell Audrey to drive away. Once the two left the house, Sammy revealed what happened to Lexi yesterday, angrily stating that he'll gladly kill Edward for breaking Lexi's heart, though Audrey later calmed him down. As Audrey was buying coffee however, Sammy felt ashamed that he showed his angry side to his girlfriend, and that he might be too overprotective of his sister. Audrey understands his anger however, and the two quickly forgot their worries after they arrived at the arcade, with Sammy eager to play all of the new games.

Meanwhile, Adelaine was packing up for her visit to Lexi's house, preparing some teen movies and magazines for the two to spend some girl time together, while hopefully finding out the whole affair yesterday. After she arrived at Lexi's house, Lexi began to cry again when Adelaine asked if she was okay. After the two went into Lexi's room, she began to explain what happened to her yesterday, crying harder and harder as she went. Adelaine then comforted her as Lexi cried into her chest before she sorted herself out. Afterwards, the two went down and made some cookies, and read some magazines while they waited for the cookies to be baked, although Adelaine had to explicitly find magazines that did not speak of relationships to avoid triggering Lexi. The two also watched Mean Girls as Alex brought the two the cookies for them to eat while watching, which, while Adelaine enjoyed, gave her flashbacks of all of the shenanigans she had with Kelsey when she did the Mean Girls musical.

By the time they finished watching the second movie, Sammy had got back home and Adelaine's mother Alessia wanted her to be back for dinner. As a result, Adelaine bid Lexi farewell before she went back home. On Monday however, Edward held hands with Marienne before she kissed Edward in front of the entire class, Lexi included. She burst into tears again, and as Marienne and Edward left for the courtyard, Sammy screamed at the two, with Audrey trying to calm him down. As Audrey, Frances and Adelaine tried to calm everyone down, she and her friends decided to cut ties with Edward, and to never associate with him ever again.

Three months later, Lexi had fully recovered from the break up, and had fallen in love with a Danish-Austrian-American girl named Ella Madsen. Ella is in the theatre group, and together with Audrey, the two will direct their new musical Bombshell. After they had finished their rehearsals, Adelaine and her boyfriend Hugh went to sit at the audience seats, waiting for some final announcements before dismissing for the day. While sitting at there however, Ella began to feel uncomfortable as some people at the back were laughing and seemingly gossiping about her. Adelaine, along with Hugh, Frances, Lily, Jackson and Charles went to talk to Ella about the girls, and decided to find out what was going on that made her feel uncomfortable. The group marched to the girls, who were still gossiping and laughing from their phones. Then, Adelaine slammed her planner on their table, and confronted them about their offensive conversation. The girls initially lied, though Adelaine didn't take it kindly and grabbed one of the girls by her shirt, with Lily and Audrey also confronting them at the meantime. They then finally spit out the truth that they were looking at Marienne's new Buzzer (CC equivalent of Twitter) post, which contained a racist caption about Ella. Adelaine scolded them for laughing at something clearly racist, before Miss Donaldson dismissed them and told them that they'll be punished.

Adelaine, enraged by Marienne's racist post, marched to find Marienne at the cheerleading department, confronting her as she was about to leave. While she tried to scold her, Marienne shoved Adelaine to the ground as she told her that she and Edward needs to go. As Adelaine threatened to report her, Edward stepped in to try and defend her, only for Adelaine to scold him as well for being heartless narcissists. Marienne got annoyed afterwards, and told Edward to go and fight her. Edward responded by grabbing Adelaine's shirt, though he let her go after Adelaine slapped him in the face. Everyone proceeded to laugh at them for being weak, with Marienne yelling at them to shut up before the two left.

After the confrontation, Adelaine's friends came to ask her about the whole confrontation with Marienne. Lexi, upon hearing that neither Marienne or Edward cared, slammed her fists onto the table out of rage, with Ella comforting her. Frances then told her group that as Marienne bullied Ella for so long, the GPD now saw it as online harassment. When Lexi told Adelaine that Marienne trashes almost everyone in her Buzzer tweets, Adelaine cussed in front of her friends, which resulted in everyone being shocked by her rather out-of-character behavior. Hugh then suggested that they should have a picnic together for the weekend, which everyone agreed. People brought their own food to the park as everyone had a fun time together, especially for Ella and Lexi, which Adelaine liked.

Another three weeks later, Adelaine was talking to Miss Donaldson when Edward stormed in, telling that he wants to speak to Adelaine. Edward then told Adelaine and Hugh that Marienne broke up with him, causing Adelaine to laugh at him for finally getting his karma for harming Lexi so much. He then slowly walks away as Hugh also chuckles before the two went back to the rehearsal. Just hours before Adelaine and her friends were going to perform Bombshell, they were in the cafeteria when they saw Ramirez and Ramis arresting Marienne for harassment and bullying, and when Edward stared at Lexi, Sammy finally lost it and punched Edward in the face. After they finished performing Bombshell later that night, Adelaine gave Ella a bracelet with the initials of their first name as a present. The episode ends as Lexi and Ella went to an Austrian restaurant for a date, while the rest went back home.
