Series 2; Episode 4:
Lilith Leaves then Leaves Again
Chapter 1:
Lilith Leaves
Previously on the History of Pleasantview, Lilith is disgruntled by the lack of attention she receives from her family members during such a fragile *period* of her life, and tells them she is leaving, and never coming back. Her father is used to hearing this kind of talk, thus he welcomes her out the door, unaware that this time, SHE ACTUALLY MEANT IT.
Lilith was not coming back.
The first person Lilith turned to upon leaving home, was the only person she ever felt loved her - Dustin Broke, but it was a difficult time for Dustin, who had become a hardened street thug, flinging with heaps of Pleasantview's young ladies. Lilith was in such a state of desperation that she refused to see that Dustin wasn't interested. She insisted that he loved her, that she was the only girl for him.
Dustin insisted that she go somewhere else, but she never relented. Dustin simply couldn't turn down a homeless girl. And when Beau moved out to University, the time was right. Lilith moved in to Woodland Drive, along with the strange former burglar Gordon King.
Within a matter of days, Lilith's stomach swelled twofold; her thighs expanded all the way down to her heels and her skin turned the color of bleached cement mixed with stale milk. She started gorging on food; which only worsened the situation; and she spent most of her time vomiting into Dustin's toilet. Funnily enough, the pregnancy didn't stop her from pursuing her bubble blowing addiction, despite the doctor's endless warnings of Fetal Bubble Syndrome. The childbirth was long and painful, but it turned out well in the end. She named the baby Kane, after her favorite pro wrestler.
Kane was a downright nuisance, throwing up on her face all the time, but Lilith had been through worse. She just hoped it would pay off eventually, and one day Dustin would quit his criminal activities, become a successful doctor/lawyer and pay more attention to his family. Everything was riding on Dustin's continued support, so we cannot blame Lilith for being a bit optimistic.
But Dustin did little to strengthen the optimism. He was rarely present at home, unless to host a big party or to sleep. His life barely changed since having a child, and one would not assume a baby was being raised in the hellhole of 55 Woodland Drive.
Just as she was during her childhood, she was being ignored, hidden away in the dark corners. This was Lilith's lot in life, and it seemed it would remain that way. While Dustin partied and played the days away, Lilith spend her time watching over young Kane and reading old books. But she was not unhappy, because she still had faith in the future. But Dustin be testing that faith soon enough.
Chapter 2:
Lilith Leaves Again
Not too long after Lilith gave birth, her sister Angela graduated from University with a Major in Natural Sciences. To celebrate, Dustin decided to throw a rad, wild party to celebrate. Of course, Angela wasn't there, but he looked for any excuse.
He decided this would be the sickest, maddest party Woodland drive had ever seen. He invited everybody - his friends; people he knew; people he sort of knew and people he didn't know. That included all his old lady friends, such as Tosha Go. He was so keen to have everyone over that he forgot what had happened between Lilith and Tosha last season!
But that didn't matter to Dustin. The moment he laid eyes on Tosha, he couldn't stop thinking to himself 'I just wanna have sex with that girl.'
He approached Tosha for the first time in ages. The last time, they had been children, now they were children in adult bodies.
'Long time no see,' spoke Tosha
'Long time no sex, either,' replied Dustin. Before you know it, they were fondling, right in the presence of tiny little Orlando Bertino who had been invited for no reason. But thanks to young Orlando, the word got out about Dustin's cheating. Dustin had learned his lesson about inviting little snitches who couldn't handle the real world, but Lilith was still furious.
She didn't confront Dustin. What would be the point? She had known Dustin to cheat in the past, and she forgave him. Did she simply expect having a baby with him would change him forever? Despite the fact that he had not changed at all since Kane was born? Hell, she was pretty sure he didn't even know he was called Kane.
She simply approached Dustin with Kane in her hands, and said 'Dustin, I'm leaving, and you can take your child! See how you like raising him without my help!'
'Wait, Lilith!' Dustin shouted, 'don't leave me! I can change, I tell ya! I CAN CHANGE!'
'Don't worry about her,' Gordon King said.
'You're probably right. I never thought of it that way.' Dustin said, and they continued partying as Lilith disappeared into the darkness.
