This takes place right after The Rainy Day Women. Anything that happens in upcoming OC episodes will not be included in this.
(Ryan lay awake
in his bed. He stared at the ceiling. All he could think about was
Lindsay. He couldn't get her out of his mind. He wished she had
stayed. He was now alone. Just then, Seth walked into the
poolhouse.)
Seth: Hey man. What are you doing still in bed?
Ryan:
Nothing else to do.
Seth: I would've expected you to be helping
Lindsay settle into the castle.
Ryan: She left.
Seth:
Left?
Ryan: She moved to Chicago with her mom last night.
Seth:
Aw, man. Sorry. Well, you can always hang with me and Summer.
Ryan:
You and Summer are hanging?
Seth: Actually, more than that. She
left Zach at the airport, and found me hanging off the roof, where
she shared a moment.
Ryan: Really? So you and her are..
Seth: I
think so.
(Marissa woke up
in her new bed. She looked around and saw that Alex was already up.
This felt weird to her. This was the first morning she woke up away
from her own house in a while. She went into the kitchen to get
breakfast, and saw Alex already making toast.)
Alex: Morning
babe.
Marissa: Hey.
Alex: You sleep alright?
Marissa: Yea,
fine.
Alex: Look, I know this may seem weird at first. Waking up
in a new bed, next to your girlfriend, but don't worry. You'll get
used to things pretty quickly.
Marissa: I know. I'll just need to
adjust.
Alex: As long as you're happy here.
Marissa: I
am.
(They kiss.)
Marissa: Well, I'm going to go over to my
mom's. I have to get some more things.
(Kirsten was
sitting in the kitchen, reading the paper, and drinking some tea,
when Sandy walked in, and put a rose infront of her.)
Kirsten:
Well good morning. What's this for?
Sandy: I owe you an apology.
You're right. I was out of line with Rebecca. Honestly, all I wanted
to do was help with her case, but I didn't pay enough attention to
you. And I'm sorry.
Kirsten: Thank you. I also owe you an
apology. I should've been more trusting. I'm sorry.
Sandy: I love
you. And I hope this rose wont end up in the sink.
(They kiss.)
(Summer and Seth
were sitting in the Cohen's living room.)
Summer: So she
left?
Seth: Yep.
Summer: Is he okay?
Seth: I dunno. He
seemed pretty sad this morning.
Summer: Atleast she didn't just
leave a note when she left.
Seth: Hey...
Summer: Kidding!
(Seth kisses her, just as Ryan walks in.)
Seth: Hey
buddy.
Summer: Hi Ryan. Sorry to hear about Lindsay.
Ryan: It's
alright. I should probably get my mind off it.
(Marissa walked
into her old home, just as Julie approached her.)
Julie: What are
you doing back here?
Marissa: Calm down. I just came to get some
stuff.
Julie: Marissa, I really don't want to see you right
now.
Marissa: What's with you?
Julie: I tried to be
understanding about your new, relationship, and this is how you treat
me. You move out to live with your lesbian lover.
Marissa: Atleast
I'm happy over there.
Julie: You may be now, but trust me, this is
just a phase. One day soon, you're not going to want to stay with
her. You will realize you're not a lesbian, and you'll come crawling
back here. And if you choose to live with her now, you won't be
welcome then.
82666.9 in reply to 82666.8
(Marissa stormed
down the driveway to her car. She was so angry. It seemed that every
day she hated her mom even more. She drove back home to see Alex. She
went inside, and found Alex watching tv)
Alex: What's
wrong?
Marissa: My mom. As usual.
Alex: What happened?
Marissa:
I just hate her so much. She went on and on about how I'm not welcome
in her house if I choose to live with you.
Alex: So, what did you
say?
Marissa: I'm here aren't I?
(Alex kisses her.)
(Kirsten was
sitting in her office working, when Caleb came inside.)
Kirsten:
Hey Dad.
Caleb: Kiki, do you have any idea why she left? I was
trying to do the right thing. To be a father to her. And she
left.
Kirsten: And I'm sure she's thankful for that, but she
couldn't leave her mom. You should know that.
Caleb: How did Ryan
take the news?
Kirsten: You care?
Caleb: Well, she is important
to me, and she is important to him.
Kirsten: I havn't really
talked to him about it. Seth said he was pretty down.
(Just then
Julie walked into the office.)
Julie: Good morning you
too.
Kirsten: Good afternoon.
(Julie looked at her
watch.)
Julie: Oh. Sorry I'm late. I just got into a fight with
Marissa.
Caleb: Where is that girl? I didn't see her all
morning.
Julie: She moved out last night.
Caleb: What? Where is
she staying?
Julie: You care?
Caleb: She's your
daughter.
Julie: She moved in with her little lesbian
lover.
Caleb: Her what?
Julie: Did I forget to mention that?
(Sandy walked
into the poolhouse to see Seth, Summer and Ryan all sitting there,
looking very bored.)
Sandy: What are you all doing in here? It's a
beautiful day! You guys should be making the best of it on a
Saturday.
Seth: We're trying to cheer Ryan up.
Ryan: Thanks
Seth.
Sandy: I'm sorry about Lindsay leaving Ryan, but staying
cooped up inside all day will only make you more depressed. You guys
should be outside.
Summer: Any suggestions?
Seth: We could
always go for a ride on the Gimme Sex.
(There was a
knock on Alex's door. She went to answer it.)
Julie: Is she
here?
Alex: She's asleep in the back. How did you know where I
live?
Julie: Marissa's address book. Go wake her up.
Alex: How
about you come back later she she's awake, or I could give her a
message.
Julie: Look, I'm not going to ask her to come home, I
just need to talk to her.
Alex: Alright, fine.
Julie: And don't
you two do anything back there while I'm waiting.
(Alex went and
got Marissa. Marissa walked out of the back room, looking half awake,
but she woke right up when she saw Julie.)
Marissa: What are you
doing here?
Julie: I can see that you've made your decision to
live her, and if that's what you want, I want all your stuff
out.
Marissa: Already? There's not enough room here for
everything.
Julie: I guess that's your problem. If you don't have
everything out by the end of the day, you'll find it in the driveway.
And don't come asking me for rent money.
(Julie left the house,
and got in her car. Marissa closed the door and looked at
Alex.)
Alex: I guess we should head over there later and get your
stuff.
Marissa: She's not serious. This is her way of trying to
scare me into going back to live with her. But don't worry. I'm not
scared.
Alex: Good. Well if you don't need help then, I should get
to work.
Marissa: Alright, have fun.
(The two kiss, and then
Alex leaves. Just then Marissa's cell phone rang.)
Marissa:
Hello?
Summer: Hey Coop, I'm with Ryan and Seth. We're about to go
for a ride on the Summer Breeze. Well, actually the Gimme Sex...Long
story.
Marissa: I'm not even going to ask.
Summer: Well
anyways, you wanna come?
Marissa: Sure. Alex just left for work,
so I've got nothing to do.
Summer: Alright, we'll pick you up in a
bit.
(Summer,
Marissa, Ryan and Seth were out in the ocean, aboard the Summer
Breeze.)
Summer: This is fun! I miss this. Us four. All
together.
Marissa: Yea, it's been a while.
Seth: I know. This
feels like the good old days.
Ryan: Yea, I havn't seen that much
of you girls lately.
Summer: Well, we've all been in different
relationships.
(Ryan and Seth look at Marissa, and she sees
them)
Marissa: Alright, alright. I take it by those looks you both
know.
Seth: Saw it with my own eyes.
Ryan: Heard it from
Seth.
Summer: Heard it from Coop.
Ryan: Marissa, if you want us
to drop the topic we will.
Marissa: No, it's okay. I'm not
embarassed.
Seth: Alright then, I have a question. Are you
actually a lesbian? Or is this an experimental thing.
Marissa: I'm
not a lesbian. I don't really know what this is. I really like her.
If anything, I guess I'm bi. I havn't really given it much
though.
Ryan: Who knows? Just the three of us?
Marissa: Well,
considering my mom knows, probably most of Newport.
Summer: Your
mom knows!
Marissa: Yea, I told her.
Summer: And...
Marissa:
At first she was okay. But now since I moved in with Alex, she's
threatening to throw all of my extra stuff on the street.
Seth:
Ouch.
Ryan: Atleast I'm not her least favourite anymore.
(Just
then Marissa's cell phone rang.)
Marissa: Hello?
Alex: Marissa,
it's Alex.
Marissa: Oh, hey.
Alex: I got your note, but I need
you to come home now. It's important. I don't want to tell you over
the phone.
Marissa: Alright, I'll be home as soon as I can.
(Marissa walked
into her house, and saw Alex in near tears on the couch. Marissa ran
over to her and put her arm around her.)
Marissa: Oh god, Alex,
what's wrong?
Alex: Jodie just called.
Marissa: Ex-girlfriend
Jodie?
Alex: Yes. She has HIV. She found out this morning, but
she's had it since before she met me. Which means I could very likely
have it. I need to go get tested.
82666.20 in reply to 82666.18
(Alex and
Marissa sat on their couch. Marissa was holding Alex's hand for
comfort.)
Alex: They said the test results should be in in a few
hours. I want to go down to the hospital soon.
Marissa: We'll go
whenever you want.
Alex: Marissa, I'm so scared. I mean, what if I
have it.
Marissa: I don't know. I'm scared too.
Alex: I don't
want us to end.
Marissa: Neither do I. More importantly, I don't
want you to leave me forever. Have you talked to Jodie
recently?
Alex: Yea.
Marissa: How is she doing?
Alex: Scared
and sad.
Marissa: I don't blame her. I would be terrified.
(Kirsten and
Sandy were sitting in the kitchen, making lunch.)
Sandy: Where's
Seth and Ryan?
Kirsten: I dunno. I havn't seen them recently. I'm
guessing with Summer. Since her and Seth got back together, they
havn't been apart.
Sandy: Seth and Summer got back together? I
thought they've just been hanging out.
Kirsten: Nope. I asked Ryan
last night.
Sandy: I guess he doesn't want to lose her again.
She's a nice girl.
Kirsten: Yea, she is. But I think she should be
with Marissa more right now then Seth.
Sandy: Why right
now?
Kirsten: Havn't I told you this yet?
Sandy: No...
Kirsten:
Marissa's got a girlfriend.
Sandy: Didn't see that one coming.
Does Julie know?
Kirsten: Julie told me.
(The phone
rings.)
Kirsten: Hello?
Caleb: Kiki, I need you down at the
office. Julie's gone mad. She brought in people off the street
offering a job. She's decided she needs a personal
assistant.
Kirsten: Alright, I'll be there soon.
(She left the
house, with Sandy sitting alone in the kitchen.)
Sandy:
Hello?
Rebecca: Sandy, it's Rebecca.
(Marissa and
Alex were sitting in the hospital waiting room. The results weren't
in yet, but Alex wanted to be there early. Just then Marissa's
cellphone rang.)
Marissa: Hello?
Summer: Hey, it's Summer. I'm
with Seth Have you gotten the results yet?
Marissa: No, we're at
the hospital waiting.
Summer: Do you want us to come down there,
for extra comfort?
Marissa: No, it's okay. Thanks. I'll call you
when we know.
Summer: Alright, thanks. Call immediately. Seth is
pretty worried.
Marissa: Alright, bye.
Alex: Who was
it?
Marissa: Summer, she's with Seth. He's pretty worried.
Alex:
Aww.
Marissa: I told them I'd call right away.
Alex:
Alright.
(Alex grabbed Marissa's hand tightly. She was so scared.
Just then a doctor came out.)
Doctor: Alex Kelly, we have your
results.
(Kirsten walked
into the office to see atleast ten men all standing around Julie.
Kirsten walked up, and pulled Julie away.)
Kirsten: What are you
doing?
Julie: I'm finding myself an assistant.
Kirsten: Julie,
do you know anything about buisness? You can't just pull attractive
men of the streets and give them a job.
Julie: I'm not giving all
of them a job. Just one. Besides, I'll make sure they're experienced
first.
Kirsten: This is ridiculous.
Julie: Kirsten, I'm CEO. I
can do whatever I want. You don't want to get fired do you?
(Kirsten
gave her a look.)
Julie: Kidding!
(Sandy was in
the kitchen, on the phone.)
Sandy: Rebecca?
Rebecca: I'm not
calling to ask for more help. I promise. Actually, I'm calling from
prison.
Sandy: What?
Rebecca: I tried to steal a car. I needed
a way of getting out, and I was running out of money. I was caught,
and they found out who I was.
Sandy: Stealing cars Rebecca? That's
not you.
Rebecca: I know. I was desperate.
Sandy: Well where
are you? I'll come bail you out.
Rebecca: I'm not telling you. If
I tell you, I know you'll try and save my case all over again. I'm
tired of running and hiding. They've caught me. It's over. I'm
done.
Sandy: Are you sure that's what you want? I can get someone
to help you.
Rebecca: I'm sure. Goodbye Sandy Cohen. I love you.
(Alex and
Marissa were sitting as close as possible, both looking terrified.
The doctor was flipping through her papers. She finally stopped at
one page.)
Doctor: I'm so sorry. You're HIV positive.
82666.27 in reply to 82666.26
(Alex fell to
the ground in tears, and Marissa fell with her. Marissa hugged Alex
hard. Alex needed all the comfort in the world. She couldn't believe
this was happening. She wished she could just wake up, and have this
all be a dream, but it wasn't. Marissa was so sad for Alex. She
didn't know what to say. And then it hit her. If Alex has it, then
she could too.)
Marissa: Alex I'm so sorry.
Alex: I can't
believe this. This can't be happening. What am I going to
do?
Marissa: I don't know.
Alex: Oh god, Marissa. You have to
get checked. I just realized that. You could have it too.
(Seth, Ryan and
Summer were all sitting in the Cohen's living room, when Summer's
cellphone rang.)
Summer: Hello?
Marissa: Summer?
Summer:
Coop! Did you find out yet?
Marissa: She's positive.
Summer: Oh
my god.
Marissa: And I could be too.
Summer: What! Oh god, I
never thought of that. We'll be there soon.
Seth: What
happened?
Summer: Alex is HIV positive
Seth: Oh my god.
No.
Ryan: Are you serious?
Summer: And Coop might be too.
(Julie was
sitting in her office. All the men had left, except one. His name was
Rob. Julie thought he was the best man for the job, mainly because of
his looks.)
Julie: Well, Rob. Welcome to my office.
Congratulations on your new positions.
Rob: Thank you so much Mrs.
Nichol. I really needed this job.
Julie: Please, call me
Julie.
Rob: Thank you, Julie. So, what do you want me to do
first?
Julie: Coffee would be nice. Cappucino please.
(Rob left
the room to go get Julie's coffee, and she took off her wedding ring,
and slipped it in her desk. Just then Caleb walked in.)
Caleb: I
see you've chosen a new assistant.
Julie: How observant of
you.
Caleb: Juju, I was thinking we could go to dinner tonight. We
havn't talked very much lately.
Julie: You were a little too
pre-occupied with Lindsay.
Caleb: Julie, she's my daughter. I had
to be.
Julie: Fine. I'll go to dinner.
(Summer, Seth
and Ryan rushed into the hospital waiting room, and saw Alex and
Marissa both looking very down. Summer ran to Marissa and hugged her.
Seth ran to Alex and hugged her. Ryan gave them both a comfort
hug.)
Seth: I'm so sorry Alex. I really don't know what to
say.
Alex: Thanks.
Summer: So am I.
Ryan: Me too.
Summer:
Have you been tested yet Coop?
Marissa: Yea, it should be a few
hours before we know anything.
Ryan: We'll wait with you.
Marissa:
Thanks guys.
Alex: I should call Jodie. She should know.
Marissa:
I guess I should call my mom. She would want to know this.
(Julie and Caleb
were sitting together at a fancy restaurant.)
Caleb: Julie, I feel
our marriage is not a strong as it usually is, and I want to
apologize for ignoring you lately.
Julie: Thank you. A present
would help.
Caleb: Anything for you.
Julie: Cut the act.
Caleb:
Anyways, do you know if Marissa is going to move back in?
Julie: I
don't know. I told her a couple days ago I'd throw her stuff outside
if she didn't come back, so I guess if she doesn't come back soon,
that's what I'll be doing.
Caleb: Don't you think that's a little
harsh?
Julie: Since when did you have feelings?
Caleb: Well,
she is your daughter.
(Julie's cell rang. She looked at the screen
and saw Marissa's cell number.)
Julie: Speak of the devil.
(She
answered it.)
Marissa: Mom?
Julie: I knew you'd come crawling
back.
Marissa: I'm at the hospital.
Julie: What? Why?
(Julie stormed
into the hospital waiting room, and approached the gang.)
Julie:
See what happens when you become a lesbian!
Marissa: Mom!
Julie:
Sorry...How long will it be?
Alex: Shouldn't be too much
longer.
Julie: I was asking Marissa.
Marissa: Mom!
Julie:
What? This is her fault anyways.
Ryan: Okay, I don't think we
should be blaming anyone at a time like this.
(Just then the
doctor came out with papers.)
Doctor: Marissa Cooper, we have your
results.
82666.33 in reply to 82666.32
Doctor: Marissa
Cooper, you are HIV negative.
(A wave of relief came over
everyone.)
Julie: Oh thank god.
(Summer gave Marissa a hug, and
so did Alex and Ryan.)
Julie: Well, now that that's over, I'm
going home.
(Julie left, and shortly after, so did Ryan, Seth and
Summer. Alex and Marissa were the only ones left in the waiting
room.)
Alex: I'm so glad you don't have it. I don't know what I
would do. I'd feel so guilty.
Marissa: I'm so sorry you do.
(Kirsten was
sitting in the kitchen, when Ryan and Seth came in.)
Kirsten:
Where have you boys been?
Seth: We just got back from the
hospital.
Kirsten: Is everything okay?
Ryan: Marissa had to get
checked for HIV.
Kirsten: Oh god! Is she okay?
Ryan: Yea, the
tests were negative.
Kirsten: Thank god.
Seth: Alex's
weren't.
Kirsten: Oh no...I'm sorry.
Seth: Thanks.
Kirsten:
Poor girl. How's she doing?
Seth: About as good as anyone would be
at a time like this.
(Julie was in
the office, on Monday morning. Rob had just arrived.)
Rob: Morning
Julie.
Julie: Hey Rob. Coffee?
Rob: I have a question. Did you
only hire me to get you coffee?
Julie: I hired you to be my
personal assistant, and getting me coffee is included in that
deal.
Rob: Are you sure about that? I've noticed a lot of looks
towards me.
Julie: I don't know what you're talking about.
Rob:
And the first day I was here, you were wearing a ring. Now, you're
not.
Julie: Oh, um, it's being cleaned. Now common, I'm thirsty.
(Seth and Ryan
walked up to Summer's locker.)
Seth: Morning.
Summer: Oh, hey
guys.
Ryan: How's Marissa doing?
Summer: I havn't seen her all
morning. I don't think she came today.
Seth: I don't blame her.
Alex needs her at a time like this.
Ryan: What do you think Alex
is gonna do?
Seth: I dunno. I'm going to go see her later
afterschool.
(Marissa was
watching TV, when Alex walked into the room.)
Alex: Marissa, we
need to talk.
Marissa: Alright, what about?
Alex: I can't do
this to you.
Marissa: What do you mean?
Alex: I can't be with
you anymore. I'm not going to risk this. It's possible for you to
still get it. I won't take the chance.
Marissa: You're breaking up
with me..
Alex: We're lucky enough that you don't have it. I don't
want to risk anything.
Marissa: But, I thought we could work
through this together. I'm here to support you.
Alex: I know, and
believe me, I don't want to do this. I honestly love you. You've
changed me. And that's exactly why I can't do this.
Marissa: I
can't believe this.
Alex: I talked to Jodie. I'm going back. To
stay with her.
Marissa: What?
Alex: Definately not for a
romantic relationship, but we're both so close, and we're both going
through the same thing right now. I'm really sorry.
(Marissa eyes
began to fill with tears. At this exact moment she realized how
important Alex was to her. She didn't want to let Alex see her cry,
so she turned around and left.)
(Rob and Julie
were discussing what she wanted him to do. She asked him to get
something from her drawer, and he opened it, and found her wedding
ring. He pulled it out.)
Rob: At the cleaners?
Julie: Crap. I
forgot that was in there.
Rob: What's going on?
Julie: I didn't
know you noticed it before, so I removed it. Rob, I'm married to
Caleb Nichol. Not exactly the most interesting man. I guess, I was
just looking for a little excitement.
(Her and Rob got closer. He
pulled the hair out of her face. They both slowly leaned in for a
kiss, when someone pushed the door open, and they quickly seperated.
Caleb walked in.)
Caleb: Ready to go home Juju?
Julie: I'm
ready.
(Sandy was
sitting in the livingroom, when Kirsten just got home from
work.)
Sandy: Hey hunny.
Kirsten: How are you?
Sandy: Pretty
good. Your sister called?
Kirsten: Hailey, or Lindsay?
Sandy:
Hailey.
Kirsten: Really? She did?
Sandy: She said she had big
news, and she wants you to call her back.
(There was a
knock on Alex's door. She was expecting to see Marissa standing
there, but instead she saw Seth.)
Alex: Hey Seth.
Seth: Hey. I
just wanted to come talk with you. With everything thats happened, I
thought you could use some more comfort.
Alex: Thanks, I really
appreciate it.
Seth: Anytime. We need to start hanging out
more.
Alex: Actually, there's something I should tell you.
Seth:
What is it?
Alex: I'm moving.
Seth: You're what?
Alex: I'm
leaving. I'm moving in with Jodie.
Seth: Why?
Alex: I can't
stay here Seth. I can't have any relationships. And Jodie doesn't
have anyone else, and we're both dealing with the same thing right
now.
(Seth was so sad. This was all reminding of how hurt he was
when Anna left. He walked up to Alex, and hugged her for so long.
Even though they're relationship was short, it was special to both of
them. They were going to miss eachother, and it was hard to say
Goodbye. The tears were coming to both of their eyes.
(Alex stood in
her empty apartment. She had everything packed up, and she was
getting ready to go. She looked around. It looked so different with
nothing in it. She thought of all her great memories she had there,
with Marissa. She felt awful for the way she left it with Marissa.
She looked on the ground, and saw a picture of Marissa, that had
fallen out of her bag. A tear rolled down her face. She decided she
had to give Marissa a better goodbye. She headed for the door, to go
see Marissa one last time. She opened the door, and was surprised to
see Marissa's beautiful face staring at her.)
Alex: Marissa!
Marissa: I couldn't let you leave the way we ended our last
conversation. I need a real goodbye.
Alex: So do I. I was just
about to come see you.
Marissa: I did some thinking. And I
realized why you have to do what you're doing. I don't want you to
go, but I understand why you are.
Alex: You have no idea how happy
that makes me. It would kill me to leave you, without you
understanding why.
Marissa: Have time to go to the beach one last
time? Spend our last time together where we first...
Alex: Of
course.
(Kirsten was in
the kitchen, reading the paper, when the phone rang.)
Kirsten:
Hello?
Hailey: Kirsten!
Kirsten: Oh my god, Hailey! You left
without leaving a number, I havn't talked to you in so long!
Hailey:
I know, I'm sorry about that. Atleast you knew where I was going this
time.
Kirsten: How's Japan?
Hailey: Actually I'm not in Japan
right now.
Kirsten: Where are you?
(The doorbell
rang.)
Kirsten: One second, someone's at the door.
(Kirsten
opened the front door, and saw Hailey standing there smiling at her.
Kirsten was shocked, but very happy to see her younger
sister.)
Kirsten: Oh my god, Hailey! You're here!
Hailey: I'm
here! I called a couple days ago and spoke to Sandy. I told him I was
coming down, but I wanted to keep it a surprise.
Kirsten: He told
me you had called, but never mentioned your surprise. So, what's this
big news you have?
(Julie and Rob
were making out in the supplies closet. There were now really in an
affair. Over the past couple days, Julie couldn't keep her hands off
him.)
Rob: Isn't your husband wondering why you chose to come to
work on a Saturday?
Julie: Sweety, Caleb Nichol has more important
things to worry about than me. He probably thinks I'm shopping, or at
cardio bar. Do you have anybody who's wondering why you're working on
a Saturday?
Rob: Nope. I'm a lonely man.
Julie: Not
anymore.
(She pulled him in for some more kissing.)
(Seth and Summer
sat in Seth's room. Seth was looking very down.)
Summer: When is
she leaving?
Seth: Today.
Summer: I'm sorry.
Seth: I'm
really gonna miss her.
Summer: I know. I don't really know her,
but she seems really cool.
Seth: She is. This is all reminding me
of when Anna left.
Summer: Yea. I understand.
Seth: I really
miss her too.
Summer: You know, so do I. Cohen, I just thought of
a great idea.
Seth: What?
Summer: Well, Anna's our friend. And
we havn't seen her in a long time. And we have spring break coming up
soon. Let's go visit her!
Seth: You know Summer, I think that's
the best idea you've had in a long time.
(Kirsten and
Hailey were sitting on the Cohen's couch in the living
room.)
Kirsten: Well, what's your news?
Hailey: Okay, while I
was in Japan, I met this really great guy. His name is Adam. He came
down with me, but he's at the hotel now. I wanted to catch up with
you alone first. Well anyways, my news is...
(Hailey raised her
hand, which showed a beautiful engagement ring on her ring
finger.)
Hailey: I'm engaged!
Kirsten: Oh my god, Hailey!
Congratulations! I can't wait to meet him.
Hailey: You'll love
him! He's great.
(Marissa and
Alex sat at the exact same spot on the beach, where they shared their
first kiss. They both were trying to hold in their emotions. They
knew this was the end of them. Alex held Marissa's hand.)
Alex: I
want you to know, that you will always be special to me.
Marissa:
You know, I never thought a girl could have such an impact on me.
This is something I never expected, but I'm definately glad it
happened. You helped me understand myself more.
Alex: I wish we
didn't have to end this way, and I'm so sorry.
Marissa: So am I. I
want you to know that this was never something to piss off my mom, or
to shock people. This was always because of how I felt.
Alex: I'm
going to miss you.
Marissa: I will definately miss you.
(Marissa
leaned in, and gave Alex the last kiss she would ever give her.)
(Marissa woke up
in her bed in the castle. She hated being back there, now that Alex
had left. She looked at the picture on her bedside table. It was of
Alex. A tear started to roll down her face. She already missed her.
She needed someone to talk to, but who? Summer was always busy with
Seth. Ryan might be awkward to talk to about this. Her mom just
wasn't someone who she could talk to. Then she immediately knew who
she wanted to talk to. She picked up her phone, and dialed a
number.)
Marissa: Dad?
Jimmy: Marissa, kiddo! How are you? I
miss you.
Marissa: I miss you too. How's Hawaii?
Jimmy: It's
good. It's given me time to sort my life out. I'm so glad to talk to
you. Anything interesting happened back home?
Marissa: You have no
idea.
(Kirsten and
Sandy sat in their kitchen on this Sunday morning. Sandy was
spreading creamcheese on his bagel, while Kirsten was pouring her
coffee.)
Kirsten: Hailey will be here soon, and she's bringing
Adam.
Sandy: We get to meet the fiancé.
Kirsten: I know,
I can't wait. I hope he's nice.
Sandy: I'm sure he will be. Hailey
really seems to have finally grown up. I knew she'd settle down some
day.
Kirsten: I know. I'm so happy for her.
Sandy: What has
she told you about the fiancé?
Kirsten: Not much. She said
hes a great guy. Older than her, around my age.
(Just then the
doorbell rang, and Kirsten ran to open it. There Hailey was, standing
with her fiancé Adam.)
Hailey: Kirsten! This is Adam. Adam,
this is my sister Kirsten.
Adam: Very nice to meet you Kirsten.
Hailey has told me so much about her family.
Kirsten: Well, it's
very nice to meet you.
(The three of the proceeded into the
kitchen to greet Sandy. Sandy got up, and shook Adam's hand.)
Sandy:
Sandy Cohen. It's a pleasure to meet you, and congratulations.
Adam:
Well, thank you. It's nice to meet you too. It's great to finally put
faces to the people Hailey has talked about.
Hailey: Where's Seth
and Ryan? They were out yesterday. I wanna see them!
Kirsten: Seth
went to see Summer this morning for breakfast, and Ryan should be in
the poolhouse.
Hailey: I'll be right back. I'm going to say
hello!
Kirsten: I'll call Dad, and invite him over to see you.
(Ryan was lying
on his bed in the poolhouse, just waking up, then the doors flew
open, and Hailey ran in.)
Ryan: Hailey!
Hailey: Ryan! My little
nephew, sortof.
(Ryan got up and gave Hailey a hug.)
Ryan: Long
time no see.
Hailey: I know! How's everything been?
Ryan:
Pretty good, how's Japan? Do anything fun?
(Hailey raised her
hand, and showed her ring.)
Hailey: Got engaged!
Ryan: Oh yea,
Kirsten told us, congratulations!
(Just then Seth and Summer
walked into the poolhouse.)
Seth: Hey Ryan have you seen
the...Aunt Hailey!
Hailey: Seth!
(Hailey ran to Seth and gave
him a hug.)
Seth: Congratulations! You remember Summer?
Hailey:
Hey Summer.
Summer: Welcome home, and congratulations.
Hailey:
Thanks. Well, we should go back in the house. You guys can meet Adam!
(Julie was in
the kitchen, making toast, and talking to Caleb.)
Caleb: Kiki just
called. Hailey's in town, with her fiancé.
Julie: Hailey's
back? Great.
Caleb: Julie...she's my daughter.
Julie: I know,
I'm sorry. So, she's getting married?
Caleb: Apparently. I'm going
over to see her now.
(Caleb left the kitchen, just as Marissa
entered.)
Julie: I told you it was just a phase.
Marissa:
Excuse me?
Julie: Your little lesbian thing. I knew you just
wanted to piss me off. You're lucky I let you back in the
house.
Marissa: What the hell is your problem. We broke up because
she has HIV, and you knew that.
Julie: You should've expected her
to be diseased. Couldn't you tell she was dirty? You're lucky you
didn't get infected after living in that dump with her.
Marissa:
That dump was a hell of a lot better than living with you.
Julie:
You can't talk to me like that.
Marissa: I clearly just did. I
just got off the phone with Dad.
Julie: You did? How is
he?
Marissa: He's good. I'm going to see him.
Julie: What,
when?
Marissa: For spring break.
Julie: Marissa, I really don't
think that's a good idea.
Marissa: Mom, please.. He's my dad.
(Julie realized how important this was to Marissa, and she didn't
want to piss her off any more.)
Julie: Alright, fine. I'll call
him later, and we'll arrange a flight for next week.
(Caleb had
arrived at the Cohen's and seen Hailey. He was so happy to see his
daughter. Kirsten wasn't there anymore, because she had to run into
the office quickly to get some work she needed that night. Adam was
conversing well with everyone at the Cohen's house, and making a good
impression. Caleb and Hailey were in a seperate room, talking.
Catching up on the last few months.)
Caleb: How long do you think
you'll be staying?
Hailey: A while. I think we might have the
wedding here, in Newport.
Caleb: That would be great. I've always
looked forward to a time like this.
Hailey: Adam may even be
interested in moving here.
Caleb: Really? That would be fantastic.
I would love to have my daughter back. Especially now that Lindsay's
gone.
Hailey: Lindsay? Who's Lindsay?
(Seth was in his
room, looking through the numbers on his cell phone. He finally found
the one he wanted. Anna. He dialed her number.)
Anna: Hello?
Seth:
Anna Stern? This is Captain Oats.
Anna: Seth! Oh my god, it's
been forever! How are you?
Seth: Great, what about you?
Anna:
Pretty good. I miss you guys.
Seth: We miss you too. Actually
that's why I'm calling. Me and Summer were thinking about coming
there, for spring break next week, to see you.
Anna: Oh my god,
that would be amazing! I miss you all so much!
Seth: Great, then
it's settled. I shall call you later in the week, and let you know
when we're arriving.
(Julie walked
into the office, to meet Rob.)
Rob: Saturday and Sunday? You must
really like me.
Julie: Don't flatter yourself. Caleb left for the
day to see his daughter, so I got bored.
Rob: Well, the beauty of
a Sunday afternoon, is we're the only one's in the office.
Julie:
That's very true. Now let's get busy, I'm impatient.
(Julie and
Rob started making out. Julie sat down on her desk, while Rob and her
were getting more aggressive. Just then Kirsten walked into the room
to get her work.)
Kirsten: Oh my god!
(Julie and Rob jumped up.
All three of them were completely shocked.)
82666.60 in reply to 82666.59
(Julie and Rob
both stared at Kirsten, and Kirsten was frozen.)
Kirsten: Oh my
god, I'm so sorry to, interrupt. I should go.
Julie: Kirsten,
wait! Rob, get out of here.
(Rob quickly got out of the room.
Kirsten was clearly angry.)
Kirsten: What were you
thinking?
Julie: I don't know.
Kirsten: You're married. To my
father. If he found out about this, do you know how hurt he'd
be?
Julie: Oh please, he barely pays attention to me
anymore.
Kirsten: And who's fault is that? You're the one screwing
your assistant on a Sunday!
Julie: Kirsten, please. Don't tell
him. I don't know what I was thinking. I guess I just got a little
bored. We all have our fantasties.
Kirsten: Alright. But end it
with Rob. Now.
(Caleb sat there
frozen, staring at his daughter. He didn't know what to say. He
realized that Hailey didn't know about Lindsay. How was he going to
tell her? He didn't want another vase thrown at his head, and he knew
Hailey was more aggressive than Kirsten.)
Hailey: Dad! Who's
Lindsay.
Caleb: I'm not sure if this is the time or place to
discuss this, with your fiancé in the other room, meeting
everyone. Maybe we should get together privately for lunch or
dinner.
Hailey: Dad, tell me who the hell Lindsay is.
Caleb:
Alright. Sixteen years ago, I made a mistake.
Hailey: What kind of
mistake?
Caleb: I met a woman, and we got involved,
romantically.
Hailey: You cheated on mom with a woman named
Lindsay?
Caleb: No, I cheated on your mother with a woman named
Renee.
Hailey: Then who's Lindsay?
Caleb: Renee got pregnant.
Lindsay is my daughter.
(Hailey froze. She didn't know what to do.
Her anger grew stronger. She wanted to hit him.)
Hailey: You
bastard.
Caleb: Hailey, please.
(Hailey got up, and stormed
into the other room, where everyone was. Caleb ran in after her, and
grabbed her arm to stop her from leaving, and she turned around and
slapped him.)
Hailey: Let's go Adam.
(Hailey pulled Adam out of
the house, and passed Kirsten as she was just getting home from the
office. Kirsten turned around to ask Hailey what was wrong, but
Hailey was gone too fast. Kirsten walked into the kitchen, where
everyone was silent.)
Kirsten: What's going on?
Caleb: I just
told Hailey about Lindsay.
Kirsten: Oh god, I forgot about that. I
should go see her.
(Julie and Rob
were sitting in her office.)
Julie: Sorry about all that.
Rob:
That was awkward. Really awkward.
Julie: Yea.
Rob: I heard what
she said. Does that mean we're done this?
Julie: Of course not. It
just means we can't do this here anymore.
Rob: Then where?
Julie:
Caleb should be gone all day. We could go for a quickie at my house.
And if he comes home, you were just picking up some work I need you
to finish.
(Marissa picked
up her cell phone, and dialed her father's number.)
Jimmy:
Hello?
Marissa: Dad.
Jimmy: Hey kiddo. Is everything
okay?
Marissa: Yea, fine, it's just, I don't want to wait a few
days to see you. I can't stand Mom right now. I'm going to get a
flight for this evening.
Jimmy: Marissa, your mom's not gonna be
happy about this.
Marissa: Don't worry, I'll atleast let her
know.
Jimmy: Normally I'd say no, but I havn't seen you in so
long.
Marissa: I'll call you when I find out my flight times.
(Julie and Rob
walked into the castle. Julie yelled out loud for Caleb and Marissa,
but go no answer.)
Julie: Good, noone's home.
(Julie put her
arms around him, and started kissing him, when Marissa walked in to
tell her mom her new plans.)
Marissa: Mom!
Julie: Not
again.
Marissa: Who the hell is this?
Rob: Rob. Nice to meet
you.
Marissa: I can't believe you. You're such a whore.
Julie:
Marissa!
Marissa: Goodbye.
Julie: Where are you going?
Marissa:
Hawaii.
