Background: Most of the Scott's moved to California after college. Now, 25 years and 3 kids later, the two families are living in one of the most exclusive developments in all of southern California. They live in huge houses with huge pools right on the beach. They drive fancy cars and send their kids to the best schools around. Perfect, right? Well, yea. Except for the drama that not just the kids cause…….
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A petite brunette walked downstairs with a towel wrapped around her waist and a little bikini on. She smiled at the maid before walking out the back door and looking at the rather handsome boy swimming in the pool.
"You do know that you have your own pool, right?" she asked, hands on her hips.
"Yea, but I like yours better." He said before jumping out of the pool and grabbing a towel.
She walked up to him "About last night……"
"Don't worry about it. I won't say anything." He said honestly before turning and walking away.
"Clay, wait." She said, running up to him.
"Bridget, just don't worry about it." He said in a louder tone "My Dad just got home. I have to go."
Bridget watched him walk away and angrily walked back inside, sitting down at the kitchen table.
"Everything okay sweetie?" a beautiful women in a lovely sundress asked.
"Yea, it's fine." Bridget promised her mother.
"Boy problems?" her mother asked, sitting next to her.
Bridget nodded and sighed a big dramatic sigh.
"Trust me Bridget, I had plenty of those when I was your age." Her mother told her.
"You have no idea." A handsome, middle-aged man smiled, walking into the kitchen in a suit and tie.
His wife smiled and kissed him lightly and Bridget stood up "Yea, well I'm not too sure I'm ready to hear those stories. I'm going next door, have a good day at work Dad."
After Bridget walked out the door, her father grabbed a cup of coffee and his briefcase "Well I better get to work." He told his wife, kissing her forehead "I'll see you tonight."
"Okay, love you." His wife said with a smile.
"Love you too pretty girl." He said, walking out the door.
Brooke Scott watched her husband Lucas as he left for work and smiled, thinking about how happy she was. She had the perfect family….although every family does have its flaws.
"Ugh, I hate guys!" Bridget stormed back in the house minutes later "Can't they just be honest with girls? Just tell them how they feel and what they want! I mean, it's really not that hard!" she said, stomping up the stairs into her room.
A minute later, the back door opened again "Where's Bridget?" Clay asked.
"In her room." Brooke replied, trying to figure out what was going on "What's wrong with you two?"
But Clay was already halfway up the staircase and didn't answer. So Brooke figured she'd go next door to Clay's house.
Brooke slipped on a pair of flats and walked through the back gate and into the house next door.
"Morning Tutormom." She said with a smile to her friend/sister-in-law, who was sitting at the table.
"Hey Tigger. Is Clay at your house?" Haley Scott asked.
"Yep. And I have no clue what's going on with those two….." Brooke sighed.
-------------------
"What do you want now, Clay? You wanna ruin my life a little more?" Bridget asked as soon as Clay walked in her very large bedroom.
"Bridget c'mon. Do you really think he was gonna be that nice for long? He was drunk and loud and just got finished punching a kid in the face before he came over to you….." Clay told her.
"It doesn't matter! One guy actually might like me….a hot one mind you, and you ruin it!" she screamed at him.
"One guy Bridget? Are you kidding me? Every guy in our god damn school likes you, but you don't even see that. I try to tell you that but of course you don't listen, you never listen. You are worth so much more than him, and so much more than any guy in our school. I wasn't gonna let you hook up with some drunk dude that is a complete ass." Clay yelled at her.
"That's not true Clay, no guy likes me." She said, quieter now.
"Your serious? Look at you Bridget, every guy wants to be with you. You just never care to see it. And anyways, none of them deserve you." Clay said "I'm going home" he said, walking out of her bedroom and back to his house.
"Everything okay?" Brooke asked when Clay walked in.
"Yea, it's fine." Clay said quickly.
"She seemed upset ? It's about a boy?" Brooke asked.
"Is it never not about a boy?" Clay asked Brooke honestly.
"Well she's lucky she has a best friend like you to keep an eye on her." Brooke told him.
"So, we're going to visit Grandma next week." Haley reminded Clay.
"Yea, I remember." Clay said "Your coming right Aunt Brooke?"
"Yea, I'm pretty excited." Brooke said.
"To see Grandma?" Clay asked surprised.
"No….well yea. But more for the 25th reunion." Brooke said, smiling at Haley "I can't believe we're going back!"
Haley sighed "I can't believe it's been 25 years."
