For a time, when Lauren had just lost Heidi as one of her best friends, along came Audrina to save the day. As Audrina moved in with Lauren, the two started to hit it off. In spite of Lauren's growing troubles, Audrina was there to take Lauren through it. L&A formed a bond, and an appeal that no one could ever match. From club appearances, to working out, to doing scenes on The Hills together, or just hanging out, L&A even made the sun shine at night. 
L&A's togetherness alone illuminated the world, let alone a TV screen, or even a room. Lauren and Audrina played so well together, that the two would remind fans of a teddy bear collection that people just had to have, which were so cuddly, and so cute. For MTV, this was pure heaven, The Hills in Season 3 became the highest rated show on MTV ever, with over 4 million viewers. But as 2007 ended, and all of last year and this year, the bond that Lauren and Audrina once formed was no more. In all that time, Lauren's insecurities got in the way, while Audrina's hunger for fame became more present. To make matters worse, Lo and Stephanie got more face time, Lauren was lured by Lo and Stephanie, and Audrina felt compelled to get more attention since Audrina felt Lauren wasn't giving it to her. 
Even if it meant trying to claim that Lauren hooked up with Audrina's boyfriend, Justin-Bobby. While Lauren and Audrina deteriorated, so did the ratings of The Hills. It went from 4.5 million, to 2 million viewers. Now, the end result is Lauren and Audrina have no friendship whatsoever, when the cameras stop rolling. As Lauren Conrad now focuses on her future and Kyle Howard, and Audrina Patridge moves on to her own reality venture, we can only hope that Lauren and Audrina will cross paths again one day to pick up where they left off. Maybe one day Lauren can let Audrina help her as a person, and Audrina can be truthful about Lauren's flaws instead of rattling to other people about it, and these two can once again be an awesome two-some. And walk hand and hand in the garden of happiness, so their friendship can blossom, and share their differences and similarities, and have more things in common than just The Hills.
