Part 2
[Fade to: Four months later. Reilly and Brad are now going out. Rachel and Reilly are running really short on cash. Rachel hasn't been taking it well, and the anniversary of Ashley's death coming up, makes it worse. Rachel's apartment. There's a knock on the door]
Reilly: (appears, coming out her room. She's wearing a mini skirt, a tank top and little strappy shoes. Opens to door, it's Brad) Hey, Brad (smiles)
Brad: Hey (kisses her)
Reilly: Come in just now, I still need to do my hair. (he comes in)
Brad: (looks around) Your Mom not here?
Reilly: She's in her room.
Brad: Oh (then whispering) She any better?
Reilly: (shakes her head, whispering) I'm real worried about her.
Rachel: (comes out her room, quickly smiling when she sees them) Hey guys.
Brad: (smiling) Hey Miss Green.
Reilly: I'm just gonna go do my hair, all right. (walks towards the bathroom)
Rachel: (smiles at Brad, then walks into the kitchen) Do you want a drink or anything?
Brad: No, I'm good. (pause) So.um.how have you been? With the job hunting and everything?
Rachel: (groans) Oh, I give up, I can't find anywhere.
Brad: (confused) Um, why did you quit the job in Paris anyway?
Rachel: Well, Rye was two, but had been born here, so I decided I'd rather have her grow up where she was born. Although the two years in Paris were quite fun.
Brad: (smiling) Yeah, I've been there before.
Reilly: (comes out with her hair in a French roll) All right?
Brad: Yep, you ready to go?
Reilly: Uh huh (walks up to Rachel and kisses her cheek) I'll be back before 11, okay?
Rachel: Yeah. Bye Sweetie, bye Brad.
Brad: Bye, Miss Green.
(They leave. A tear runs down Rachel's cheek, and she quickly wipes it. Then looks at a small pocketknife lying on the table. She slowly picks it up and turns around walking into the bathroom)
________________________________________-
[Cut to: Bathroom. Rachel comes in, and pushes the door, not shut. She sits on the toilet and looks unsurely at the knife. Then looks at her wrist, taking a breath, she slowly lowered the knife towards it]
_________________________________________
[Cut to: Movie Theatre. Reilly and Brad are sitting watching a movie. They're both whispering]
Reilly: I'm really worried about her Brad.
Brad: Do you have any idea what it is? Hasn't she been like this for a few months?
Reilly: (looking at him) C'mon (takes his hand and they walk out)
___________________________________________
[Cut to: Outside the movies, she sits on a wall, and he stands in front of her]
Reilly: It's my little sister, Ashley.
Brad: (confused) You have a sister?
Reilly: (taking a breath) She died, seven years ago.
Brad: I'm sorry.
Reilly: (shook her head) I don't really remember that much. She was only four months.
Brad: (pause) How?
Reilly: (looking at him, a tear in her eye) Leukaemia. (pause) I still remember the day Garry told me.
Brad: Who's Garry?
Reilly: Ashley's dad, him and Mom were engaged, but, after all that Mom didn't want to go through with it. So he left.
Brad: (shakes his head) So, you think that's why she's been acting weird? I mean, it was four months ago.
Reilly: (glaring at him) She died when she was four months, Brad.
Brad: Oh (getting it) Oh!
Reilly: (looks away, with tears in her eyes) She always took this time of year bad, but never as bad as this.
Brad: Maybe she's stressed. I mean, she still hasn't got a job n' your short on money, that might make her feel worse. It's gonna be fine.
Reilly: (looks at him) Yeah, I guess (looks at the door of the movies) C'mon, lets watch the rest of the movie, then go back to mine. Try to cheer her up.
Brad: All right. (smiles, and they walk back in)

Kristen: Yeah, I remember that!
Guy1: It was so funny!
Livy: (the way Monica would do it) I know!
Guy1: (looking at the picture next to the TV) Hey, when's that?
Livy: What?
Guy1: (points to the picture)
Livy: Oh, that was a few years before I was born. It's Joey, Uncle Ross, Phoebe, Rachel, Mom and Dad.
Guy2: Who's Rachel?
Livy: Mom's old roommate.
Becky: Hey, Scott, look at this!
Scott: What?
Becky: (throws a handful of dip at him)
Scott: Oh you are so gonna get it! (he reaches for the dip, but Livy quickly picks it up)
Livy: Guys, don't do that! You know what Mom's like!
Guy2: Why's your Mom so obsessed with being clean?
Livy: (shrugs) How should I know? Isn't your Mom like that?
Guy2: No.
Kristen: Yeah, Andy, it's just you! (they laugh)
Andy: Ha ha, very funny.
Scott: It is!
Andy: (glares at him. They all laugh again)

Reilly: (looking around, smiling) Mom? (pause) Mom, are you here? (looks at Brad)
Brad: Maybe she just went out for something.
Reilly: (worriedly) Uh yeah (walking into the kitchen) Do you want a drink?
Brad: Yeah, I'm just gonna use the toilet first.
Reilly: (taking two mugs down, and pulling out a bottle of coke) Okay.
Brad: (walks towards the bathroom, and pushes the door open, and sees Rachel lying on the floor, her wrists bleeding) Oh my god! Reilly!
Reilly: (nearly drops the bottle) What, what is it?
Brad: (just motions with his hand for her to come over)
Reilly: (puts the bottle down, and quickly walks over, and sees Rachel, her face turns pale) Mom!

[Cut to: Hospital. Reilly and Brad]
Doctor: (comes over)
Reilly: (stands up) Is she all right?
Doctor: We had to run a few tests. Is your father here?
Reilly: I don't have one, it's just me.
Doctor: (looks at her) How old are you?
Reilly: Thirteen, I'll be fourteen next month.
Doctor: (takes a deep breath) Your mother slit both wrists and there's a possibility she took an overdose of pills (Reilly wipes at the tear running down her cheek) Um, have there been any problems at home?
Reilly: (looks at him) Just a few, personal things.
Doctor: (nodded) All right, um, do you have any other family we could contact to look after you?
Reilly: (shakes her head) No. Mom's all I got. [Fade out]
___________________________________________
[A week later. Rachel had regained consciousness, but was very weak. Reilly had been staying in one of those children's places. She'd seen Rachel twice this week, but she didn't like her seeing her when she was that weak]
__________________________________________-
[Fade to: Room. Reilly is sitting on a bed, with her arms wrapped around her knees (you know) There's two beds in the room. Reilly has a little desk with pictures of her and Rachel, one of a baby and one of Ross]
Girl: (walks in) Hi, Reilly.
Reilly: (staring out the window next to the bed) Hey, Nicole.
Nicole: (looking at her, sympathetically) Um.Mrs Fraser wants to speak to you.
Reilly: (sighs, and climbs of the bed) What now?
Nicole: (shrugs) Think it was something about you getting out of here.
Reilly: (looking hopeful, but confused) I'd better go down. (walks out the room)
_________________________________________
[Cut to: An office. A woman (not one of those horrible women you see in movies) is sitting there. There's a knock on the door]
Woman: (looking up) Come in.
Reilly: (opens the door and looks in) Hey Mrs Fraser, um Nicole said you wanted to see me.
Mrs Fraser: (smiles at her) Yeah, sit down. (Reilly sits on the seat in front of the desk) Well, it seems you and your mother were having problems before she.
Reilly: Yeah.
Mrs Fraser: Well, it seems your father is in New York.
Reilly: (takes a deep breath) Yeah I know.
Mrs Fraser: Your mother isn't well enough at the moment to take care of you, so the social services think it would be better for you to go and stay with you dad, until your mom is well enough to care for you both.
Reilly: (shocked) They're wanting me to go and stay with my dad? The dad I've never met? While my mom stays here sick?!
Mrs Fraser: I know this is going to be difficult (Reilly looks away frustrated) But you have to understand. This is the only option.
Reilly: (looks at her, angrily) I don't wanna stay with him! I don't wanna go to New York! I wanna stay here with Mom! She needs me!
Mrs Fraser: She needs you to be looked after, while she tries to get better.
Reilly: I can't stay with my dad! I just.I can't! I don't know him! He doesn't even know I exist!
Mrs Fraser: We're going to contact him. (Reilly looks away, obviously upset)
Reilly: (firmly, with tears in her eyes) No.
Mrs Fraser: Sweetheart, I'm afraid you have no choice.
Reilly: (looks at her, then stands up) I'm gonna go talk to Mom (storms out)
_______________________________________
[Cut to: Hospital room. Rachel is lying weakly in a bed. Reilly slowly walks in]
Reilly: (not sure if she's awake, quietly) Mom? Rachel: (turns her head quickly and sees her) Hey, Sweetie (sits up, slowly)
Reilly: (comes over and hugs her, still upset about the talk with Mrs Fraser)
Rachel: (noticing) I know this is hard, Sweetie, but your dad really is great.
Reilly: (looks at her surprised) How did you.
Rachel: The doctor told me.
Reilly: (looks down) I really don't wanna go Mom.
Rachel: (weakly strokes her hair) I know, but it's for the best, you need someone to take care of you, at least until I can. (Reilly look at her upset and angry) Please honey, do this for me. It'll just be for a few months.
Reilly: (looks down, then up) I don't wanna leave you here when you're sick.
Rachel: I love you, honey, this is the best option right now. I need to know you're all right
Reilly: (looks at her) What did he do to hurt you?
Rachel: Who?
Reilly: Ross, what did he do?
Rachel: (shaking her head) That's not important right now.
Reilly: (looks at her, knowing she's not gonna get anything from her) I love you, Mom.
Rachel: I love you too, Baby. (they smile at each other and hug)
Reilly: (pulls back) I'll miss you.
Rachel: I'll miss you too. (they hug each other with tears in their eyes)

[Fade to: Airport. Ross is standing waiting for Reilly]
[Cut to: Reilly walking of the plane, taking a deep breath]
Reilly: (walking. In her head) I don't wanna do this, I really don't wanna do this. (walks out into the airport, and looks around, and sees him. She slowly approaches him at first, then gets more confident, walking up to him, she speaks emptily through the conversation)
Ross: (looks at her) Reilly?
Reilly: (looks at him) Yeah, hey Ross.
Ross: (looking at her) How about we go and get your suitcase, then go back to mine?
Reilly: (shrugs) Why not?
Ross: (unsurely, he expected his daughter to be a little more happy to see him. They walk over to get her suitcase) All right.
Reilly: (pulling her case from the.moving thing) Do you still hang out with Monica, Joey n all?
Ross: (surprised) Huh?
Reilly: (as they're walking along) Mom told me about you all.
Ross: Oh. (hails a cab) We're having dinner with them tonight.
Reilly: Cool. (climbs in, and sits down)
Ross: (quietly) Yeah, cool.
____________________________________
[Fade to. Ross' apartment. Ross and Reilly walk in]
Reilly: (looks around) Nice place. (sees a picture of the gang (Ross, Joey, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel) on the wall, and looks away)
Ross: (picking up her suitcase) I set up the guestroom for ya (they walk over)
Reilly: (pushes the door open, the bed had a 'Groovy Chick' duvet and pillow, it had a cute little dressing table in it and curtains matching the bed. She smiled slightly, then said blankly) You didn't have to do this.
Ross: I wanted to, Monica and Phoebe helped me. (Reilly walks over to the dressing table) Um, okay, well we're going over to Monica and Chandler's at about five, so, I'll let you get unpacked.
Reilly: (taking of her backpack) 'kay.
Ross: (nods and leaves)
Reilly: (looks at the closed door, with tears in her eyes. She pulls a picture of Rachel out her bag and looks at it for a while. Then takes a deep breath and puts it on the nightstand. V.O) I don't understand what dad did to hurt mom, and I really want to know what it was before I start to trust him. If it was enough to make mom get up and leave New York for Paris then it must have been something.or maybe it was me? Maybe I'm the reason she gave up everything.
Time Lapse
(Reilly has changed and is wearing baggy cargo pants and a faded blue T- shirt (which was something she wouldn't usually wear, but she didn't care how she looked right now))

Reilly: (rolls her eyes) All right. (walks over to Joey)
Chandler: (talking lowly to Ross) She's calling you 'Ross'?
Ross: (looking at him and shrugging) I know, I don't get it. She hardly speaks to me or anything.
Chandler: Maybe she's just upset about Rachel.
Ross: She's talk to Phoebe and Joey non-stop.
Chandler: Well.maybe she just.doesn't know what to say to you.
Ross: (sighs) I wish I was there for her.
__________________________________________
[Fade to: A room. Rachel is there with a woman (Dr Milan), one of those doctor people you talk to. They're in the middle of talking]
Rachel: (looking down) When I found out I was pregnant I didn't know what to do.
[Flashback: Monica & Rachel's. Bathroom. She's holding a blue pregnancy test, tears running down her cheeks]
Rachel: (O.S) I couldn't tell him, I was to scared.
Dr Milan: (O.S) Why were you scared?
[Cut back to: Room] Rachel: (takes a deep breath) It was me, I was having a baby. I'd just broken up with my boyfriend, had just got a great job.I don't know, I just, I wasn't ready for the responsibility of a kid.
Dr Milan: But you still had her.
Rachel: (looks down, and shakes her head) I was gonna give her up (looks up) You know for adoption, but, I couldn't, not after I held her. (pause) it was so hard, I'd got a new job in Paris, so I had Reilly there. Then we moved to Pennsylvania when she just turned three. I was a wreck practically.
{Flashback: The bathroom from her and Reilly's. Rachel is standing there, looking in the mirror. It's raining outside]
Rachel: (O.S) I nearly gave up.
(Rachel stares at herself in the mirror, a tear runs down her cheek. She slowly reaches over and picks up a razor, she stares at it, then back at the mirror, then back at the razor, she slowly brings it towards her wrists. The thunder makes a loud bang]
Reilly: (O.S, crying) Mommy!
Rachel: (turns towards the door, then looks at the razor)
Reilly: (O.S) Mommy!
Rachel: (puts the razor down, and leaves quickly)
Rachel: (O.S) When I heard her crying out.
[Cut back: Room)
Rachel:.I realized I couldn't do it. I couldn't just abandon my baby.
Dr Milan: Then why did you do it this time?
Rachel: (lowers her eyes, and shakes her head) A few weeks later, I met this guy. A great guy, Garry.
[Flashback: A mall. Rachel is standing outside a store, looking at a dress. Reilly (three) is standing beside her, she turns around, and runs a little, before bumping into a man, making him drop a box of things, and falling backwards onto her bottom]
Reilly: (crying) Mommy!
Rachel: (quickly looks at her, then runs over and picks her up) Reilly.
Guy: Oh, I'm sorry miss, I.
Rachel: It's okay. (looking at the things on the ground) Here, let me help you. Guy: No, that's okay (quickly picks them up and puts them back in)
Rachel: I'm always telling Reilly to watch where's she's going, I'm sorry.
Guy: Really, it's fine. (pause)
Rachel: (looks at the box) You work there?
Guy: (looks at the box) No I just deliver things.
Rachel: (smiles) Rachel Green.
Guy: (smiles back) Garry Carter. (pause) Um listen, do you want to get a cup of coffee or something?
Rachel: Yeah, sure.
Rachel: (O.S) After that he helped me out, got me back on my feet.
[Cut back to: Room]
Rachel: I didn't realise at the time he'd end up being my best friend. (pause) It took about five months for him to ask me out, and Reilly loved him. (pause) She looked at him like he was her dad.maybe a little too much.
[Flashback: Rachel and Reilly's. It's Christmas, Reilly (five), Rachel and Garry are putting up a Christmas tree]
Garry: Reilly, Sweetheart, the lights need to go on first.
Reilly: Why?
Rachel: So the decorations go on top, and show.
Reilly: Why?
Garry: (shaking his head) Full of questions you are.
Reilly: (picking up the angel) Can I put the Angel on?
Rachel: You always do, honey.
Reilly: No, I mean myself, I stand on a chair and put it on.
Garry: That might be a little dangerous.
Reilly: (begging) Please, daddy, please? (Rachel and Garry look stunned)
[Cut to: Room]
Rachel: I spent hours trying to explain to her why she didn't have a dad. (pause) But it didn't stop Reilly from wanting a dad, I remember how happy she was when we got engaged.
[Flashback: Rachel and Reilly's. Rachel, Garry and Reilly (five) are sitting on the couch]
Reilly: You're getting married?! (they smile and nod) So you're gonna be my daddy now?
Garry: (smiles and nods) Yep.
Reilly: (hugs them) Goody! I got a daddy!
[Cut back: Room]
Dr Milan: You seemed to do fine raising and explaining things to her.
Rachel: (lowers her eyes) I loved her so much. There were some days.she was all I got out of bed for.
Dr Milan: Did you ever get out of bed for yourself?
Rachel: (looks up at her quickly) Um. y.you said we could stop when I wanted to.I wanna stop (stands up)
Dr Milan: (stands up too) All right. I'll see you on Monday.
Rachel: (quietly) Okay (turns and walks out)

[Fade to: Ross' apartment. Reilly is sitting on the couch, listening to her walkman, and reading a book, it's the book Phoebe gave her]
Reilly: (looks at then phone, then puts the book down and takes her headphones off. She picks up the phone and dials a number) Hey Brad.
Brad: (On the phone) Hey Rye! So, how's life with daddy?
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) I wanna come home.
Brad: That bad?
Reilly: I'm living with strangers!
Brad: Isn't there anyone you can talk to over there?
Reilly: Well, Joey's great for a friend, and so is Pheebs.
Brad: What's wrong with your dad?
Reilly: I just don't trust him. He did something to hurt Mom, and I wanna know what it was!
Brad: So ask him.
Reilly: (sarcastically) Oh yeah 'Hey Ross, what did you do to hurt Mom? I really wanna know, even though I'll probably hate you when I find out what it is'.
Brad: Rye, you can't hate him for something he did fourteen years ago to your Mom.
Reilly: Brad, Mom's the most important thing in my life. What ever he did to her musta been bad, because she never talks about it.
Brad: Honey, you don't know what it is. Why don't you ask Phoebe, wasn't she one of your Mom's best friends?
Reilly: (pause) Yeah.
Brad: And you like her, so ask her!
Reilly: All right, I will.
Brad: Great. So what were you doing today?
Reilly: Oh, it was actually quite fun. I was playing basket ball with the guys.
Brad: Sounds fun.
Reilly: It was! Me an' Joey.
_________________________________________
[Cu to: next day. Monica and Chandler's. Phoebe, Monica and Chandler are there]
Monica: I wonder how things are going with Reilly and Ross.
Chandler: Well, according to Ross, she's not calling him dad and she's barely spoken to him since she got here.
Phoebe: Oh that must be horrible for Ross, and Reilly's such a great kid.
Chandler: Yeah she is, and a great basketball player! This Garry must have told her a lot!
Monica: Who is Garry?
Chandler: Well, Joey told me it's one of Rachel old boyfriends, they supposedly went out for four years.
Phoebe: Wow!
Chandler: She told him he was like a dad to her. (There's a knock at the door)
Monica: (answers it, it Reilly) Hey, Reilly!
Reilly: (smiles a little) Hey Monica.
Monica: Come in. (Reilly walks in)
Chandler/Phoebe: Hey/Hey Reilly.
Reilly: Hi. Livy at school, huh?
Chandler: Yep (looks at his watch) And I have to go to work. (stands up) I'll see ya all later (kisses Monica)
Monica/Phoebe/Reilly: Bye honey/Buh bye/Bye Chandler. (he leaves)
Monica: (to Reilly) So what're you doing here, is something wrong?
Reilly: Um, well I was kinda wanting to talk to Phoebe.
Phoebe: (surprised) Me?!
Reilly: Yeah, huh, if you're not to busy?
Monica: (frowning confused) I need to go to work, so I'll just go, I'll see you later.
Phoebe/Reilly: Bye Monica/Bye. (she leaves)
Phoebe: Is something wrong?
Reilly: Um kinda (sits next to her at the table) Um.when Mom was telling me about Ross, she said he did something to hurt her before she left (Phoebe, looks confused then realises) I wanna know what it is, can you tell me?
Phoebe: Uh.I don't know.
Reilly: Please Phoebe.
Phoebe: (sighing) All right. Um.it started when Rachel was looking for a new job, and this guy Mark helped her.
Time Lapse
Reilly: (surprised and angry) He cheated one her?! Why would he do that to Mom!
Phoebe: Well, he was pretty upset when she decided to take a break.
Reilly: (shakes her head) I can't believe anyone would do that to Mom.
Phoebe: Yeah well, it happened quite a lot to her actually.
Reilly: (look at her) But this is my dad! He cheated on her! (stands up) Oh my god, I hate him for this.
Phoebe: Reilly. He's your dad.
Reilly: (angry) He doesn't know anything about me! (stands up and walks over to the door) I gotta go.
Phoebe: Where are you going?
Reilly: (leaves)
______________________________________
[Cut to: Central Park. Reilly is walking along, holding a basketball in her hand (it's dark). She gets to the basketball pitch (don't know if there is one!) And starts shooting at it. After a few minutes she stops, and stares at the ball, camera zooms in on it]
Flashback
[Camera pulls back, to reveal Reilly (five) holding it, with Garry beside her, helping her. They're outside a house in a garden]
Reilly: (holding it, staring at the net) Garry, I can't do it!
Garry: (laughing) Sure you can, here, (stoops down beside her, and puts his arms around her, holding both her wrists, and pulls them back into her chest holding the ball) Just push your arms forward towards the net, and let the ball go. (he lets go of her wrists, but stays beside her)
Reilly: (pushes her arms forward, the ball bounced of the backboard of the net, and fell onto the ground. Upset) See! I can't! I'm crap!
Garry: (laughing) You'll get better, but everyone needs practise.
Reilly: (walks over and picks it up, then walks back over) All right, I'll try again. (holds the ball into her chest, then pushes it forward, quickly. The ball went sideward to the right, and bounced of the wall) See! See! I'm getting worse! Not better!
Garry: Come on (picks up the ball and throws it to her, she catches it) Give it another go.
Reilly: (sighs, then does it again, again missing the net. Near tears) I'm crap, Garry! I can't do it!
Garry: (lifts her up and hugs her) Hey, don't cry, Sweetie (lets out a little chuckle) It's just a game.
Reilly: (buries her face in her neck)
Rachel: (O.S, from inside the house) Lunch's ready, guys!
Garry: Lets go and get something to eat, huh? (Reilly nods, and snuggles into him)
____________________________________
[Cut back: Reilly, holding the ball. She shoots again, then looks away]
[Fade to: Ross' apartment. Ross is sitting on the couch, looking worried]
Reilly: (walks in)
Ross: (stands up) Where've you been?
Reilly: (avoiding eye contact, angrily) Nowhere (walks towards her room)
Ross: It's 12 in the morning!
Reilly: (turns and glares at him) That's right (then turns and walks into her room, slamming the door, leaving Ross confused)
Ross: (after a few minutes, walks up and knocks on her door)
Reilly: (opens it, coldly) What?
Ross: Look Reilly, I know you haven't been here very long, and I know this is hard on you, but I'm your father and I won't have you walking into the house at 12am in the morning.
Reilly: (sarcastically) Gee, I'm sorry if I worried you. (starts to close the door)
Ross: (puts his foot on it, stopping her) And while you're living her I won't be spoken to like that.
Reilly: (just glares at him) Don't worry, Mom'll be taking me home in a few months, then I'll be out of your life like I never existed (closes the door successfully this time)
Ross: (is upset and confused)
_______________________________________
[Week later: Reilly had barely spoken to Ross and spent most of her time playing basketball herself. Ross had been confused why she was ignoring him]
________________________________________
[Fade to: A school. It's Reilly's first day, though she's looking around pretending its not. Desperately trying to find her maths classroom]
[Cut over to a guy who was looking at her, smiling slightly]
Guy: (walks over) Hey, you need help finding something?
Reilly: (turns, irritated) What?
Guy: You look lost.
Reilly: (angry) No, this isn't what lost looks like, this is what mad looks like (starts to leave)
Guy: I'm Will Globes.
Reilly: (angry he prolonged the conversation) So happy for you. (turns and walks away)
Will: (stifles a laugh, as she scurried down the corridor, and walks into a room. He walked down after her, then goes into the same room)
Reilly: (glares at him. O.V.) Great, now he's in my maths class. (keeps staring at him, as he sat in the desk in front of her) What a jerk, he's way too full of himself. (pause) He looks like he's about 15 or something, what's he doing in this class? He should be at least a class higher.
Teacher: Miss Green. (Reilly looks at her) Do you know how to get this?
Reilly: (clears her throat) Know what?
Teacher: (points to the board) This?
Reilly: (frowns) No.
Girl: (puts her hand up)
Teacher: Yes, Britney?
Britney: 127 degrees?
Teacher: Excellent: (looking at Reilly) Someone needs to learn their bearings. (turns and writes the answer on the board)
Reilly: (rolls her eyes, quietly) Great.
Will: (turns and looks at her)
Reilly: (glares back) What?
Will: Nothing (turning back to the front)
Reilly: (looks out the window again)
_____________________________________
[Cut to: Monica and Chandler's. Ross, Chandler and Monica are there]
Ross: I don't get it!
Monica: Okay, are you sure you haven't done anything to upset her?
Ross: I'm sure!
Chandler: Well.maybe she doesn't trust you?
Ross: (looks at him) Why not?
Chandler: Well Rachel obviously left you for a reason (pause) Maybe Rachel told her something about you.
Ross: (pause) You think she'd do that?
Monica: Nah, I doubt it, didn't she just start to be like this a few days after she was here.
Ross: Yeah. (just then the phone rings)
Monica: (gets up and answers it) Hello? (pause) Rachel?! (Ross and Chandler look over)
End of Part 2
[Fade to: Four months later. Reilly and Brad are now going out. Rachel and Reilly are running really short on cash. Rachel hasn't been taking it well, and the anniversary of Ashley's death coming up, makes it worse. Rachel's apartment. There's a knock on the door]
Reilly: (appears, coming out her room. She's wearing a mini skirt, a tank top and little strappy shoes. Opens to door, it's Brad) Hey, Brad (smiles)
Brad: Hey (kisses her)
Reilly: Come in just now, I still need to do my hair. (he comes in)
Brad: (looks around) Your Mom not here?
Reilly: She's in her room.
Brad: Oh (then whispering) She any better?
Reilly: (shakes her head, whispering) I'm real worried about her.
Rachel: (comes out her room, quickly smiling when she sees them) Hey guys.
Brad: (smiling) Hey Miss Green.
Reilly: I'm just gonna go do my hair, all right. (walks towards the bathroom)
Rachel: (smiles at Brad, then walks into the kitchen) Do you want a drink or anything?
Brad: No, I'm good. (pause) So.um.how have you been? With the job hunting and everything?
Rachel: (groans) Oh, I give up, I can't find anywhere.
Brad: (confused) Um, why did you quit the job in Paris anyway?
Rachel: Well, Rye was two, but had been born here, so I decided I'd rather have her grow up where she was born. Although the two years in Paris were quite fun.
Brad: (smiling) Yeah, I've been there before.
Reilly: (comes out with her hair in a French roll) All right?
Brad: Yep, you ready to go?
Reilly: Uh huh (walks up to Rachel and kisses her cheek) I'll be back before 11, okay?
Rachel: Yeah. Bye Sweetie, bye Brad.
Brad: Bye, Miss Green.
(They leave. A tear runs down Rachel's cheek, and she quickly wipes it. Then looks at a small pocketknife lying on the table. She slowly picks it up and turns around walking into the bathroom)
________________________________________-
[Cut to: Bathroom. Rachel comes in, and pushes the door, not shut. She sits on the toilet and looks unsurely at the knife. Then looks at her wrist, taking a breath, she slowly lowered the knife towards it]
_________________________________________
[Cut to: Movie Theatre. Reilly and Brad are sitting watching a movie. They're both whispering]
Reilly: I'm really worried about her Brad.
Brad: Do you have any idea what it is? Hasn't she been like this for a few months?
Reilly: (looking at him) C'mon (takes his hand and they walk out)
___________________________________________
[Cut to: Outside the movies, she sits on a wall, and he stands in front of her]
Reilly: It's my little sister, Ashley.
Brad: (confused) You have a sister?
Reilly: (taking a breath) She died, seven years ago.
Brad: I'm sorry.
Reilly: (shook her head) I don't really remember that much. She was only four months.
Brad: (pause) How?
Reilly: (looking at him, a tear in her eye) Leukaemia. (pause) I still remember the day Garry told me.
Brad: Who's Garry?
Reilly: Ashley's dad, him and Mom were engaged, but, after all that Mom didn't want to go through with it. So he left.
Brad: (shakes his head) So, you think that's why she's been acting weird? I mean, it was four months ago.
Reilly: (glaring at him) She died when she was four months, Brad.
Brad: Oh (getting it) Oh!
Reilly: (looks away, with tears in her eyes) She always took this time of year bad, but never as bad as this.
Brad: Maybe she's stressed. I mean, she still hasn't got a job n' your short on money, that might make her feel worse. It's gonna be fine.
Reilly: (looks at him) Yeah, I guess (looks at the door of the movies) C'mon, lets watch the rest of the movie, then go back to mine. Try to cheer her up.
Brad: All right. (smiles, and they walk back in)
_________________________________________
[Fade to: Chandler and Monica's. Livy is on the couch with a bunch of her friends, Kristen, Becky and two guys. They're laughing]
Kristen: Yeah, I remember that!
Guy1: It was so funny!
Livy: (the way Monica would do it) I know!
Guy1: (looking at the picture next to the TV) Hey, when's that?
Livy: What?
Guy1: (points to the picture)
Livy: Oh, that was a few years before I was born. It's Joey, Uncle Ross, Phoebe, Rachel, Mom and Dad.
Guy2: Who's Rachel?
Livy: Mom's old roommate.
Becky: Hey, Scott, look at this!
Scott: What?
Becky: (throws a handful of dip at him)
Scott: Oh you are so gonna get it! (he reaches for the dip, but Livy quickly picks it up)
Livy: Guys, don't do that! You know what Mom's like!
Guy2: Why's your Mom so obsessed with being clean?
Livy: (shrugs) How should I know? Isn't your Mom like that?
Guy2: No.
Kristen: Yeah, Andy, it's just you! (they laugh)
Andy: Ha ha, very funny.
Scott: It is!
Andy: (glares at him. They all laugh again)

[Scene: Rachel's apartment. About 9 o' clock. Reilly and Brad are coming in, laughing]
Reilly: (looking around, smiling) Mom? (pause) Mom, are you here? (looks at Brad)
Brad: Maybe she just went out for something.
Reilly: (worriedly) Uh yeah (walking into the kitchen) Do you want a drink?
Brad: Yeah, I'm just gonna use the toilet first.
Reilly: (taking two mugs down, and pulling out a bottle of coke) Okay.
Brad: (walks towards the bathroom, and pushes the door open, and sees Rachel lying on the floor, her wrists bleeding) Oh my god! Reilly!
Reilly: (nearly drops the bottle) What, what is it?
Brad: (just motions with his hand for her to come over)
Reilly: (puts the bottle down, and quickly walks over, and sees Rachel, her face turns pale) Mom!
________________________________________
[Cut to: Hospital. Reilly and Brad]
Doctor: (comes over)
Reilly: (stands up) Is she all right?
Doctor: We had to run a few tests. Is your father here?
Reilly: I don't have one, it's just me.
Doctor: (looks at her) How old are you?
Reilly: Thirteen, I'll be fourteen next month.
Doctor: (takes a deep breath) Your mother slit both wrists and there's a possibility she took an overdose of pills (Reilly wipes at the tear running down her cheek) Um, have there been any problems at home?
Reilly: (looks at him) Just a few, personal things.
Doctor: (nodded) All right, um, do you have any other family we could contact to look after you?
Reilly: (shakes her head) No. Mom's all I got. [Fade out]
___________________________________________
[A week later. Rachel had regained consciousness, but was very weak. Reilly had been staying in one of those children's places. She'd seen Rachel twice this week, but she didn't like her seeing her when she was that weak]
__________________________________________-
[Fade to: Room. Reilly is sitting on a bed, with her arms wrapped around her knees (you know) There's two beds in the room. Reilly has a little desk with pictures of her and Rachel, one of a baby and one of Ross]
Girl: (walks in) Hi, Reilly.
Reilly: (staring out the window next to the bed) Hey, Nicole.
Nicole: (looking at her, sympathetically) Um.Mrs Fraser wants to speak to you.
Reilly: (sighs, and climbs of the bed) What now?
Nicole: (shrugs) Think it was something about you getting out of here.
Reilly: (looking hopeful, but confused) I'd better go down. (walks out the room)
_________________________________________
[Cut to: An office. A woman (not one of those horrible women you see in movies) is sitting there. There's a knock on the door]
Woman: (looking up) Come in.
Reilly: (opens the door and looks in) Hey Mrs Fraser, um Nicole said you wanted to see me.
Mrs Fraser: (smiles at her) Yeah, sit down. (Reilly sits on the seat in front of the desk) Well, it seems you and your mother were having problems before she.
Reilly: Yeah.
Mrs Fraser: Well, it seems your father is in New York.
Reilly: (takes a deep breath) Yeah I know.
Mrs Fraser: Your mother isn't well enough at the moment to take care of you, so the social services think it would be better for you to go and stay with you dad, until your mom is well enough to care for you both.
Reilly: (shocked) They're wanting me to go and stay with my dad? The dad I've never met? While my mom stays here sick?!
Mrs Fraser: I know this is going to be difficult (Reilly looks away frustrated) But you have to understand. This is the only option.
Reilly: (looks at her, angrily) I don't wanna stay with him! I don't wanna go to New York! I wanna stay here with Mom! She needs me!
Mrs Fraser: She needs you to be looked after, while she tries to get better.
Reilly: I can't stay with my dad! I just.I can't! I don't know him! He doesn't even know I exist!
Mrs Fraser: We're going to contact him. (Reilly looks away, obviously upset)
Reilly: (firmly, with tears in her eyes) No.
Mrs Fraser: Sweetheart, I'm afraid you have no choice.
Reilly: (looks at her, then stands up) I'm gonna go talk to Mom (storms out)
_______________________________________
[Cut to: Hospital room. Rachel is lying weakly in a bed. Reilly slowly walks in]
Reilly: (not sure if she's awake, quietly) Mom? Rachel: (turns her head quickly and sees her) Hey, Sweetie (sits up, slowly)
Reilly: (comes over and hugs her, still upset about the talk with Mrs Fraser)
Rachel: (noticing) I know this is hard, Sweetie, but your dad really is great.
Reilly: (looks at her surprised) How did you.
Rachel: The doctor told me.
Reilly: (looks down) I really don't wanna go Mom.
Rachel: (weakly strokes her hair) I know, but it's for the best, you need someone to take care of you, at least until I can. (Reilly look at her upset and angry) Please honey, do this for me. It'll just be for a few months.
Reilly: (looks down, then up) I don't wanna leave you here when you're sick.
Rachel: I love you, honey, this is the best option right now. I need to know you're all right
Reilly: (looks at her) What did he do to hurt you?
Rachel: Who?
Reilly: Ross, what did he do?
Rachel: (shaking her head) That's not important right now.
Reilly: (looks at her, knowing she's not gonna get anything from her) I love you, Mom.
Rachel: I love you too, Baby. (they smile at each other and hug)
Reilly: (pulls back) I'll miss you.
Rachel: I'll miss you too. (they hug each other with tears in their eyes)

Monica: Oh my god! You have a daughter.
Ross: Yeah Reilly Green.
Joey: I can't believe you and Rachel have a kid (the holds his hand out to Chandler)

Monica: When she coming?
Ross: She'll be here on Saturday.
Phoebe: That's like, two days! Not even two days, there's tomorrow, then Sunday!

Reilly: (returns the smiles) I'll call you when I get there.
Brad: Have fun with your dad.

Reilly: (hugs him) I'll miss you.
Brad: Miss you too (they pull back and he kisses her)

Reilly: So?! Call me Reilly or Rye, nothing else! (they smile and laugh at each other) Bye.
(A song 'Sunshine' by S Club 7 starts playing (the music at the begining)
Brad: Bye. (Reilly, smiles sadly, then turns and lifts her bag, then hails a cab (don't know if you can do that in Pennsylvania!) she gets in, and looks out the window at him, a tear in her eyes)
_____________________________________
[Montage, with some present & flashbacks put in: Sunshine is playing]
Sometimes it's hard, When the rains pouring in, I used to worry what tomorrow would bring.

Then you came along, Changed my world around, Gave me something to believe in, When I'm upside down.
[Flashback: Rachel is lying in a hospital bed, a doctor hands Reilly to her, Reilly smiles up at her, and grabs her finger, Rachel smiles and kisses her head]

[Fade to: Airport. Ross is standing waiting for Reilly]
[Cut to: Reilly walking of the plane, taking a deep breath]
Reilly: (walking. In her head) I don't wanna do this, I really don't wanna do this. (walks out into the airport, and looks around, and sees him. She slowly approaches him at first, then gets more confident, walking up to him, she speaks emptily through the conversation)
Ross: (looks at her) Reilly?
Reilly: (looks at him) Yeah, hey Ross.
Ross: (looking at her) How about we go and get your suitcase, then go back to mine?
Reilly: (shrugs) Why not?
Ross: (unsurely, he expected his daughter to be a little more happy to see him. They walk over to get her suitcase) All right.
Reilly: (pulling her case from the.moving thing) Do you still hang out with Monica, Joey n all?
Ross: (surprised) Huh?
Reilly: (as they're walking along) Mom told me about you all.
Ross: Oh. (hails a cab) We're having dinner with them tonight.
Reilly: Cool. (climbs in, and sits down)
Ross: (quietly) Yeah, cool.
____________________________________
[Fade to. Ross' apartment. Ross and Reilly walk in]
Reilly: (looks around) Nice place. (sees a picture of the gang (Ross, Joey, Monica, Chandler, Phoebe and Rachel) on the wall, and looks away)
Ross: (picking up her suitcase) I set up the guestroom for ya (they walk over)
Reilly: (pushes the door open, the bed had a 'Groovy Chick' duvet and pillow, it had a cute little dressing table in it and curtains matching the bed. She smiled slightly, then said blankly) You didn't have to do this.
Ross: I wanted to, Monica and Phoebe helped me. (Reilly walks over to the dressing table) Um, okay, well we're going over to Monica and Chandler's at about five, so, I'll let you get unpacked.
Reilly: (taking of her backpack) 'kay.
Ross: (nods and leaves)
Reilly: (looks at the closed door, with tears in her eyes. She pulls a picture of Rachel out her bag and looks at it for a while. Then takes a deep breath and puts it on the nightstand. V.O) I don't understand what dad did to hurt mom, and I really want to know what it was before I start to trust him. If it was enough to make mom get up and leave New York for Paris then it must have been something.or maybe it was me? Maybe I'm the reason she gave up everything.
Time Lapse
(Reilly has changed and is wearing baggy cargo pants and a faded blue T- shirt (which was something she wouldn't usually wear, but she didn't care how she looked right now))
Ross: (knocks on the door) Reilly?

[Cut to: Next day. Central Park. Joey and Reilly are there. They have a basketball set up against a wall, and Joey's holding the ball]
Joey: (throws the ball at Reilly) Lets see what ya got.
Reilly: (bounces the ball) All right. (they have a little game thingy, she bounces the ball under his legs, the picks it up from the other side shooting. Puts her arms up) Yay!
Joey: (surprised) Wow, for a girl you sure are good.
Reilly: (smiling slightly, picking up the ball) I know a few things.
Joey: So this Garry guy taught you that?
Reilly: Yeah (shoots again)
Joey: You sure are good (pause) So Garry was an old boyfriend of your Mom's?
Reilly: (looks at him, and nods) Yeah (throws the ball to him) For four years.
Joey: Wow, four? That musta been serious. (shoots)
Reilly: (nods) It was. (picks up the ball) he was kinda like a dad to me.
Joey: Did your Mom tell you Ross was your dad?
Reilly: (bouncing the ball up and down) Yeah (pause) So what's my dad like now?
Joey: (shrugging, picking up the ball) Just the same.
(Chandler and Ross come over)
Chandler/Ross: Hey/Hey guys.
Reilly/Joey: Hi/Hey.

Ross: No, I'll talk to the principle at ______ and see when you can start.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) All right. (walks over to Joey)
Chandler: (talking lowly to Ross) She's calling you 'Ross'?
Ross: (looking at him and shrugging) I know, I don't get it. She hardly speaks to me or anything.
Chandler: Maybe she's just upset about Rachel.
Ross: She's talk to Phoebe and Joey non-stop.
Chandler: Well.maybe she just.doesn't know what to say to you.
Ross: (sighs) I wish I was there for her.
__________________________________________
[Fade to: A room. Rachel is there with a woman (Dr Milan), one of those doctor people you talk to. They're in the middle of talking]
Rachel: (looking down) When I found out I was pregnant I didn't know what to do.
[Flashback: Monica & Rachel's. Bathroom. She's holding a blue pregnancy test, tears running down her cheeks]
Rachel: (O.S) I couldn't tell him, I was to scared.
Dr Milan: (O.S) Why were you scared?
[Cut back to: Room] Rachel: (takes a deep breath) It was me, I was having a baby. I'd just broken up with my boyfriend, had just got a great job.I don't know, I just, I wasn't ready for the responsibility of a kid.
Dr Milan: But you still had her.
Rachel: (looks down, and shakes her head) I was gonna give her up (looks up) You know for adoption, but, I couldn't, not after I held her. (pause) it was so hard, I'd got a new job in Paris, so I had Reilly there. Then we moved to Pennsylvania when she just turned three. I was a wreck practically.
{Flashback: The bathroom from her and Reilly's. Rachel is standing there, looking in the mirror. It's raining outside]
Rachel: (O.S) I nearly gave up.
(Rachel stares at herself in the mirror, a tear runs down her cheek. She slowly reaches over and picks up a razor, she stares at it, then back at the mirror, then back at the razor, she slowly brings it towards her wrists. The thunder makes a loud bang]
Reilly: (O.S, crying) Mommy!
Rachel: (turns towards the door, then looks at the razor)
Reilly: (O.S) Mommy!
Rachel: (puts the razor down, and leaves quickly)
Rachel: (O.S) When I heard her crying out.
[Cut back: Room)
Rachel:.I realized I couldn't do it. I couldn't just abandon my baby.
Dr Milan: Then why did you do it this time?
Rachel: (lowers her eyes, and shakes her head) A few weeks later, I met this guy. A great guy, Garry.
[Flashback: A mall. Rachel is standing outside a store, looking at a dress. Reilly (three) is standing beside her, she turns around, and runs a little, before bumping into a man, making him drop a box of things, and falling backwards onto her bottom]
Reilly: (crying) Mommy!
Rachel: (quickly looks at her, then runs over and picks her up) Reilly.
Guy: Oh, I'm sorry miss, I.
Rachel: It's okay. (looking at the things on the ground) Here, let me help you. Guy: No, that's okay (quickly picks them up and puts them back in)
Rachel: I'm always telling Reilly to watch where's she's going, I'm sorry.
Guy: Really, it's fine. (pause)
Rachel: (looks at the box) You work there?
Guy: (looks at the box) No I just deliver things.
Rachel: (smiles) Rachel Green.
Guy: (smiles back) Garry Carter. (pause) Um listen, do you want to get a cup of coffee or something?
Rachel: Yeah, sure.
Rachel: (O.S) After that he helped me out, got me back on my feet.
[Cut back to: Room]
Rachel: I didn't realise at the time he'd end up being my best friend. (pause) It took about five months for him to ask me out, and Reilly loved him. (pause) She looked at him like he was her dad.maybe a little too much.
[Flashback: Rachel and Reilly's. It's Christmas, Reilly (five), Rachel and Garry are putting up a Christmas tree]
Garry: Reilly, Sweetheart, the lights need to go on first.
Reilly: Why?
Rachel: So the decorations go on top, and show.
Reilly: Why?
Garry: (shaking his head) Full of questions you are.
Reilly: (picking up the angel) Can I put the Angel on?
Rachel: You always do, honey.
Reilly: No, I mean myself, I stand on a chair and put it on.
Garry: That might be a little dangerous.
Reilly: (begging) Please, daddy, please? (Rachel and Garry look stunned)
[Cut to: Room]
Rachel: I spent hours trying to explain to her why she didn't have a dad. (pause) But it didn't stop Reilly from wanting a dad, I remember how happy she was when we got engaged.
[Flashback: Rachel and Reilly's. Rachel, Garry and Reilly (five) are sitting on the couch]
Reilly: You're getting married?! (they smile and nod) So you're gonna be my daddy now?
Garry: (smiles and nods) Yep.
Reilly: (hugs them) Goody! I got a daddy!
[Cut back: Room]
Dr Milan: You seemed to do fine raising and explaining things to her.
Rachel: (lowers her eyes) I loved her so much. There were some days.she was all I got out of bed for.
Dr Milan: Did you ever get out of bed for yourself?
Rachel: (looks up at her quickly) Um. y.you said we could stop when I wanted to.I wanna stop (stands up)
Dr Milan: (stands up too) All right. I'll see you on Monday.
Rachel: (quietly) Okay (turns and walks out)

[Fade to: Ross' apartment. Reilly is sitting on the couch, listening to her walkman, and reading a book, it's the book Phoebe gave her]
Reilly: (looks at then phone, then puts the book down and takes her headphones off. She picks up the phone and dials a number) Hey Brad.
Brad: (On the phone) Hey Rye! So, how's life with daddy?
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) I wanna come home.
Brad: That bad?
Reilly: I'm living with strangers!
Brad: Isn't there anyone you can talk to over there?
Reilly: Well, Joey's great for a friend, and so is Pheebs.
Brad: What's wrong with your dad?
Reilly: I just don't trust him. He did something to hurt Mom, and I wanna know what it was!
Brad: So ask him.
Reilly: (sarcastically) Oh yeah 'Hey Ross, what did you do to hurt Mom? I really wanna know, even though I'll probably hate you when I find out what it is'.
Brad: Rye, you can't hate him for something he did fourteen years ago to your Mom.
Reilly: Brad, Mom's the most important thing in my life. What ever he did to her musta been bad, because she never talks about it.
Brad: Honey, you don't know what it is. Why don't you ask Phoebe, wasn't she one of your Mom's best friends?
Reilly: (pause) Yeah.
Brad: And you like her, so ask her!
Reilly: All right, I will.
Brad: Great. So what were you doing today?
Reilly: Oh, it was actually quite fun. I was playing basket ball with the guys.
Brad: Sounds fun.
Reilly: It was! Me an' Joey.
_________________________________________
[Cu to: next day. Monica and Chandler's. Phoebe, Monica and Chandler are there]
Monica: I wonder how things are going with Reilly and Ross.
Chandler: Well, according to Ross, she's not calling him dad and she's barely spoken to him since she got here.
Phoebe: Oh that must be horrible for Ross, and Reilly's such a great kid.
Chandler: Yeah she is, and a great basketball player! This Garry must have told her a lot!
Monica: Who is Garry?
Chandler: Well, Joey told me it's one of Rachel old boyfriends, they supposedly went out for four years.
Phoebe: Wow!
Chandler: She told him he was like a dad to her. (There's a knock at the door)
Monica: (answers it, it Reilly) Hey, Reilly!
Reilly: (smiles a little) Hey Monica.
Monica: Come in. (Reilly walks in)
Chandler/Phoebe: Hey/Hey Reilly.
Reilly: Hi. Livy at school, huh?
Chandler: Yep (looks at his watch) And I have to go to work. (stands up) I'll see ya all later (kisses Monica)
Monica/Phoebe/Reilly: Bye honey/Buh bye/Bye Chandler. (he leaves)
Monica: (to Reilly) So what're you doing here, is something wrong?
Reilly: Um, well I was kinda wanting to talk to Phoebe.
Phoebe: (surprised) Me?!
Reilly: Yeah, huh, if you're not to busy?
Monica: (frowning confused) I need to go to work, so I'll just go, I'll see you later.
Phoebe/Reilly: Bye Monica/Bye. (she leaves)
Phoebe: Is something wrong?
Reilly: Um kinda (sits next to her at the table) Um.when Mom was telling me about Ross, she said he did something to hurt her before she left (Phoebe, looks confused then realises) I wanna know what it is, can you tell me?
Phoebe: Uh.I don't know.
Reilly: Please Phoebe.
Phoebe: (sighing) All right. Um.it started when Rachel was looking for a new job, and this guy Mark helped her.
Time Lapse
Reilly: (surprised and angry) He cheated one her?! Why would he do that to Mom!
Phoebe: Well, he was pretty upset when she decided to take a break.
Reilly: (shakes her head) I can't believe anyone would do that to Mom.
Phoebe: Yeah well, it happened quite a lot to her actually.
Reilly: (look at her) But this is my dad! He cheated on her! (stands up) Oh my god, I hate him for this.
Phoebe: Reilly. He's your dad.
Reilly: (angry) He doesn't know anything about me! (stands up and walks over to the door) I gotta go.
Phoebe: Where are you going?
Reilly: (leaves)
______________________________________
[Cut to: Central Park. Reilly is walking along, holding a basketball in her hand (it's dark). She gets to the basketball pitch (don't know if there is one!) And starts shooting at it. After a few minutes she stops, and stares at the ball, camera zooms in on it]
Flashback
[Camera pulls back, to reveal Reilly (five) holding it, with Garry beside her, helping her. They're outside a house in a garden]
Reilly: (holding it, staring at the net) Garry, I can't do it!
Garry: (laughing) Sure you can, here, (stoops down beside her, and puts his arms around her, holding both her wrists, and pulls them back into her chest holding the ball) Just push your arms forward towards the net, and let the ball go. (he lets go of her wrists, but stays beside her)
Reilly: (pushes her arms forward, the ball bounced of the backboard of the net, and fell onto the ground. Upset) See! I can't! I'm crap!
Garry: (laughing) You'll get better, but everyone needs practise.
Reilly: (walks over and picks it up, then walks back over) All right, I'll try again. (holds the ball into her chest, then pushes it forward, quickly. The ball went sideward to the right, and bounced of the wall) See! See! I'm getting worse! Not better!
Garry: Come on (picks up the ball and throws it to her, she catches it) Give it another go.
Reilly: (sighs, then does it again, again missing the net. Near tears) I'm crap, Garry! I can't do it!
Garry: (lifts her up and hugs her) Hey, don't cry, Sweetie (lets out a little chuckle) It's just a game.
Reilly: (buries her face in her neck)
Rachel: (O.S, from inside the house) Lunch's ready, guys!
Garry: Lets go and get something to eat, huh? (Reilly nods, and snuggles into him)
____________________________________
[Cut back: Reilly, holding the ball. She shoots again, then looks away]
[Fade to: Ross' apartment. Ross is sitting on the couch, looking worried]
Reilly: (walks in)
Ross: (stands up) Where've you been?
Reilly: (avoiding eye contact, angrily) Nowhere (walks towards her room)
Ross: It's 12 in the morning!
Reilly: (turns and glares at him) That's right (then turns and walks into her room, slamming the door, leaving Ross confused)
Ross: (after a few minutes, walks up and knocks on her door)
Reilly: (opens it, coldly) What?
Ross: Look Reilly, I know you haven't been here very long, and I know this is hard on you, but I'm your father and I won't have you walking into the house at 12am in the morning.
Reilly: (sarcastically) Gee, I'm sorry if I worried you. (starts to close the door)
Ross: (puts his foot on it, stopping her) And while you're living her I won't be spoken to like that.
Reilly: (just glares at him) Don't worry, Mom'll be taking me home in a few months, then I'll be out of your life like I never existed (closes the door successfully this time)
Ross: (is upset and confused)
_______________________________________
[Week later: Reilly had barely spoken to Ross and spent most of her time playing basketball herself. Ross had been confused why she was ignoring him]
________________________________________
[Fade to: A school. It's Reilly's first day, though she's looking around pretending its not. Desperately trying to find her maths classroom]
[Cut over to a guy who was looking at her, smiling slightly]
Guy: (walks over) Hey, you need help finding something?
Reilly: (turns, irritated) What?
Guy: You look lost.
Reilly: (angry) No, this isn't what lost looks like, this is what mad looks like (starts to leave)
Guy: I'm Will Globes.
Reilly: (angry he prolonged the conversation) So happy for you. (turns and walks away)
Will: (stifles a laugh, as she scurried down the corridor, and walks into a room. He walked down after her, then goes into the same room)
Reilly: (glares at him. O.V.) Great, now he's in my maths class. (keeps staring at him, as he sat in the desk in front of her) What a jerk, he's way too full of himself. (pause) He looks like he's about 15 or something, what's he doing in this class? He should be at least a class higher.
Teacher: Miss Green. (Reilly looks at her) Do you know how to get this?
Reilly: (clears her throat) Know what?
Teacher: (points to the board) This?
Reilly: (frowns) No.
Girl: (puts her hand up)
Teacher: Yes, Britney?
Britney: 127 degrees?
Teacher: Excellent: (looking at Reilly) Someone needs to learn their bearings. (turns and writes the answer on the board)
Reilly: (rolls her eyes, quietly) Great.
Will: (turns and looks at her)
Reilly: (glares back) What?
Will: Nothing (turning back to the front)
Reilly: (looks out the window again)
_____________________________________
[Cut to: Monica and Chandler's. Ross, Chandler and Monica are there]
Ross: I don't get it!
Monica: Okay, are you sure you haven't done anything to upset her?
Ross: I'm sure!
Chandler: Well.maybe she doesn't trust you?
Ross: (looks at him) Why not?
Chandler: Well Rachel obviously left you for a reason (pause) Maybe Rachel told her something about you.
Ross: (pause) You think she'd do that?
Monica: Nah, I doubt it, didn't she just start to be like this a few days after she was here.
Ross: Yeah. (just then the phone rings)
Monica: (gets up and answers it) Hello? (pause) Rachel?! (Ross and Chandler look over)
