Part 4
[Scene: A building, Reilly walks up to it, with her stuff and walks in]
_____________________________________
[Cut to: Rachel's room. She takes a deep breath, then reaches for the phone. There's a knock on the door]
Rachel: (groans) Come in!
Reilly: (pushes the door open and smiles at her)
Rachel: (her eyes open wide) Reilly! (she walks over and hugs her)
Reilly: (hugging her) I missed you.
Rachel: (pulls back) I missed you too, Sweetie (kisses her cheek) Happy birthday.
Reilly: (smiles at her) I wanted to spend my birthday with you.
Rachel: (closes the door. They walk over and sit on it) So.do you like your dad?
Reilly: (look at her for a moment, then looks down)
Rachel: Reilly, what's wrong? (pause) Did something happen?
Reilly: (looks up at her) So he cheated on you, huh?
Rachel: (shocked) How.how do you know that?
Reilly: (gives her an teasing smirk) I have my ways (then serious) Is that why you left?
Rachel: (takes a deep breath) Among other things.
Reilly: I haven't spoken to him much.
Rachel: Reilly, give him a chance, he's a great dad.
Reilly: (shakes her head) I don't trust him.
Rachel: (rolls her eyes) You don't trust anyone, Reilly.
Reilly: (looks at her) I trust you. I got you. (firmly) I don't need him. Not anymore.
Rachel: Honey.
Reilly: No Mom. When I needed a dad, I had Garry. I don't need a dad anymore, and I never will!
Rachel: (firmly) Reilly, you will always need a dad.
Reilly: Then why'd you run away from him?! If you hadn't of done what you did last month, I probably would have never have met him anyway!
Rachel: (tears in her eyes) What I did, it made me realize, you do need a father. And you have one, and I know he wants to get to know you.(Reilly looks away) if I had died.
Reilly: (looks back at her) Don't talk like that! You're here now! And your fine, and we're gonna go home. Everything's gonna be back the way it was! (a tear streams down her cheek)
Rachel: (closes her eyes, holding back tears, and then hugs her)
Reilly: (whispering) I love you, Mom.
Rachel: I love you too, baby.
[Fade to: Monica & Chandler's. Livy, Ross, Joey, Chandler and Monica are there] Joey: When does Reilly get back, Ross?
Ross: About a week.
Joey: Aw.I can't play basketball for a week.
Chandler: (looks at him) Excuse me? Wha.what about me? We always used to play together.
Joey: Yeah, but she is really really good!
Livy: She's teaching me how to play.
Chandler: (surprised) Since when have you wanted to play basketball?
Livy: (shrugs) Well, she said she'd teach me and I said yes. She's taught me the rules and she's gonna teach me a three pointer when she gets back.
Joey: (nods) When you learn more, tell me! And I'll play ya.
Livy: (smiles) Sure!
Chandler: Yeah me too, honey. (Livy smiles at him)
Monica: So Ross, have you heard from her?
Ross: (shakes his head) I don't think she'll be there yet, but even if she was, I doubt she'd call me.
Chandler: I thought she was starting to talk to you?
Ross: She is, a little. But she doesn't speak to me that much.
Livy: She will eventually.
Ross: (rolls his eyes) She gets along with everyone but me, practically.
(the phone rings. Livy gets it)
Livy: Hello? (pause) Hey! We were just talk about you! (they all look over) So how's it going? (pause) That sounds great! (pause) You wanna speak to Ross? (pause) He's here (pause, then gives the phone to Ross) It's Reilly.
Ross: (surprised, takes the phone) Hello? (pause) Hi. Um.you having fun? (pause) Yeah (pause) all right.
Joey: (mouthing) Let me speak to her.
Ross: (on the phone) You wanna speak to Joey? (pause) Bye (hands the phone to him)
Joey: (takes it) Hey kiddo (pause) What've you been doing? (pause) Well, you better hurry up and get back, I need my favourite basketball player! (pause, laughs) Yeah, all right, (pause) Bye Reilly. (hangs up)
Chandler: (to Ross) See she wanted to talk to you.
Monica: What did she say?
Ross: (shrugs) Nothing much, she just got there.
Joey: Have you spoken to Rachel since all this happened?
Ross: (shakes his head) I don't know if Reilly has though, I got the phone bill a couple of days ago and there was this number called about 8 times or something.
Chandler: Was it a cell phone? Cause Rachel told her that's where she should call her.
Ross: (shakes his head) Maybe it's a friend from Pennsylvania.
Joey: Probably is.
Monica: Wonder who. __________________________________
[Cut to: Reilly outside a door on a porch. A woman gets it]
Reilly: Hi Mrs Harvest, um is Brad here?
Mrs Harvest: (turns around and calls up the stairs) Bradley! Reilly's here!
Brad: (O.S) Just coming! (comes down the stairs) Hey!
Reilly: (smiles) Hey.
Brad: (to his Mom) I'll be back about five.
Mrs Harvest: (nods) I'll see you later.
Brad: See ya (comes out and closes the door) I missed you (hugs her)
Reilly: (breaking it) I missed you, too.
Brad: (picks up a basketball) Lets go to the park, and you can tell me about your trip with daddy (they laugh)
Time Lapse
[Scene: They're at a basketball pitch. Reilly's sitting on a wall, while Brad's shooting the ball in the net]
Reilly:.but I have to go back on Friday.
Brad: I think you should give him a chance.
Reilly: (glares at him)
Brad: Camon Reilly, it's not his fault he wasn't there.
Reilly: (throws a stone over the fence) Yeah, well, it's not my fault either.
Brad: I didn't say it was, but.Do you honestly think your dad wouldn't have wanted you if he knew your Mom was pregnant?
Reilly: (pause) Brad? (he looks at her) If we hadn't gone out that night, Mom would never have slit her wrists.
Brad: Reilly you don't know that. Don't blame yourself.
Reilly: (interrupting him) I know. I'm just saying.you can't change the past.
Brad: But you can change the future (softly) It was your Mom's choice, Reilly, noone else's.
Reilly: (looks up at him) I don't blame her for not having a dad!
Brad: Then why are you blaming him?
Reilly: (angry. She snaps at him) I'm not! Okay! And it was his fault! If he hadn't cheated on her she would never have left!
Brad: (shouting) You don't know that!
Reilly: (shouting) Don't yell at me! I just don't trust him!
Brad: Why?!
Reilly: (shouting) Because I don't! I don't trust anyone! (jumps of the wall and runs down the street)
Brad: Rye! (groans, and throws the ball against the fence)
________________________________
[Fade to: Room. Rachel and Dr Milan are there]
Rachel:.After Reilly got better, we went to stay at my dad's. We were there for about two months, before we got the apartment. I think she started to understand things a lot more, and stopped acting as spoiled as she used to.
Flashback
[Scene: Kitchen. Rachel is there chopping up onions. Reilly (six) walks in]
Rachel: (smiles at her) Hey, Sweetie.
Reilly: (smiles and walks over to her)
Rachel: Have you got another headache?
Reilly: (shakes her head) Can I help?
Rachel: (surprised) You want to help?
Reilly: (smiles and nods, sweetly) Uh huh.
Rachel: (puts the knife down, then walks up to her, and lifts her onto the counter) Did Grandpa tell you?
Reilly: Nope (looks out the window. Cutely) God, look at the bloody rain.
Rachel: (stunned, but amused) Where did you learn that, Reilly Samantha Green?! (she demanded, trying not to laugh)
Reilly: (looks at her) Grandpa said it.
Rachel: Reilly, that's not nice, young girls don't use those words.
Reilly: (confused) But I'm a big girl! You said.
Rachel: Just don't say that sweetie.
Reilly: Is it bad?
Rachel: Yes. (kisses her cheek)
Reilly: (frowns) Okay. What can I do?
Rachel: (looks around, then sees some carrots, in the sink) You can wash those for me.
Reilly: (smiles) All right (walks up to a stool and pushes it towards the sink and climbs up on it)
Rachel: (worried) Watch not fall, honey.
Reilly: (looks over and grins) I'm just about as big as you, Mommy!
Rachel: (smiles lovingly at her)
[Cut back to: Room]
Dr Milan: Did she ever ask after Garry, or her dad?
Rachel: (nods) In the same conversation actually.
Flashback
[Scene: Living room. Rachel and Reilly (seven) are sitting on a couch, Reilly's cuddled up to her, reading a book]
Reilly: The boy went.to the cir.cir.(looks at Rachel for help)
Rachel: Circus.
Reilly: Circus with his daddy (pause)
Rachel: (confused) You know that word Reilly.
Reilly: (closes the book, then look at her) We need to talk.
Rachel: (trying to conceal her laughter. Grinning) Ooo, so serious?
Reilly: When's Garry coming back?
Rachel: (V.O) He'd been gone for about 5 months, but this was the first time she'd asked about him.
Rachel: (the smile disappears) Sweetie, we've talked about this.
Reilly: But he was gonna be my daddy. Why'd he go?
Rachel: (takes a deep breath) We decided it's better this way.
Reilly: But all my friends have daddies! (upset) Katie has two, and I don't even have one! It's not fair!
Rachel: (hugs her) I know, Sweetie.
Reilly: What about my real daddy?
Rachel: (pulls back) Ross.
Reilly: Is that his name?
Rachel: (nods slowly) Yeah.
Reilly: Where is he?
Rachel: New York.
Reilly: Can we go and see him?
Rachel: (shakes her head) No, honey.
Reilly: Why?
Rachel: (pause) It's complicated.
Reilly: What's that mean?
Rachel: You wouldn't understand.
Reilly: Please?
Rachel: (firmly) No, Reilly, we can't, we just can't (near tears)
Reilly: (looks down, guiltily, then back up) Don't cry, Mommy, I'm sorry.
Rachel: (hugs her) It's not your fault, honey.
Reilly: Love you.
Rachel: (whispers) I love you too.
[Cut back to: Room]
Rachel: The next time she asked about him was a few months ago.
Dr Milan: (give her a comforting smile) She's come to visit for the week, hasn't she?
Rachel: (smiles and nods) Yeah, we're going out later. (looks at her watch) Actually in an hour (looks at her) Is it okay if we stop now, I need to get dressed.
Dr Milan: (smiles and nods) I'll see you on Monday.
Rachel: (smiles and nods) All right.
Dr Milan: Bye Rachel.
Rachel: (stands up, and smiles weakly back) Bye.

[Scene: Ross' bedroom. He's sitting on the bed looking at a photo album. We see it's got pictures of him and Rachel]
Chandler: (walks in) Ross? (sees him) What'ya doing?
Ross: (looks up) Just looking at a few photos. (starts to close it, but Chandler takes it)
Chandler: I thought you didn't look at these anymore.
Ross: (sighs) I don't, not usually. (Chandler flicks through the pages) How could she do that Chandler?
Chandler: (looks at him) Who?
Ross: Rachel! How could she not tell me she was pregnant?!
Chandler: (closes the album and puts it down) She was probably terrified, Ross. You know Rachel.
Ross: No, I thought I knew her. (pause) Now I have a thirteen year old daughter who hates me.
Chandler: She doesn't hate you Ross.
Ross: (shakes his head) She shoulda told me, I woulda helped her.
Chandler: (sighs) You do know you're gonna have to see her soon.
Ross: (looks at him) I don't even know what I'm gonna say to her. (stands up, he has tears in his eyes) I hate her so much right now.
Chandler: (rubs his shoulder (friendly way!)) Ross, you know this is the sort of thing Rachel would do, and that's who you fell in love with.
Ross: I've always loved her.but (looks at him) Let's just say while you and Monica were dating, she ran off pregnant, then fourteen years later you find out you had Livy and you go through all this. Would you be able to forgive her?
Chandler: (takes a deep breath, then slowly shakes his head) No.
Ross: (looks down, then up) I don't know if I can forgive her for this Chandler. I really don't.
______________________________________
[Scene: A café place. Rachel and Reilly are there.
Rachel: So, how do you like New York?
Reilly: (frowns, then takes a bite out of her sandwich)
Rachel: (rolls her eyes, and smiles) Have you made any friends?
Reilly: I get along great with they guys, especially Joey, we play basketball nearly everyday. (Rachel smiles) And Livy's really great, she's helped me out n' stuff.
Rachel: (smiles) How long are you here for?
Reilly: Till Friday. I get the week off school.
Rachel: (laughs) How did your dad agree to that?
Reilly: (looks down guiltily)
Rachel: (frowns) Does he know you're here?
Reilly: (looks up) He thinks I'm away on a school trip.
Rachel: Reilly.
Reilly: Mom, he knows I'm gonna be away for the week, so he won't get worried, okay?
Rachel: (shakes her head) Reilly, he has to know you're here, what if he finds out?
Reilly: (shrugs) I can handle it.
Rachel: (frustrated) Well I can't! He probably hates me enough right now.
Reilly: (looks down, then back up) at least wait until Monday or something, he might end up saying I have to go home.
Rachel: (sighs) I'll tell him tomorrow (pause) No, you'll tell him tomorrow.
Reilly: (groans) All right.
(silence for a few minutes)
Rachel: You gotta give him a chance.
Reilly: (looks at her) Why?
Rachel: Rye, you've always wanted a dad, you've always been jealous of your friends because they have one and now you get your chance, you're just throwing it away.
Reilly: Well, I didn't exactly think this was what it was gonna be like.
Rachel: What did you think it was gonna be like?
Reilly: (pause) Well, I thought you were gonna be there for one thing.
Rachel: (sighs) I'm sorry, honey.
Reilly: But.this is different, I mean.I didn't think it would be like this. I don't know.I just pictured it differently.
Rachel: (reached over and put her hand on her shoulder) Not everything can be the way you want it, honey. (pause) Believe me, I know.
Reilly: (nods, then looks down) I had an argument with Brad.
Rachel: (looks at her, then sips her tea. Pause) Wanna talk about it?
Reilly: (stirs her drink with a straw) He told me to give dad a chance, and.I just snapped (looks at her) You know how I can do that?
Rachel: (nods) Oh yes, I do.
Reilly: (smirks and looks down) A guy ever really got on your nerves about something before?
Rachel: (nods her head, smiling) Absolutely.
Reilly: (smiles at her. Rachel smiles back) I've missed this.
Rachel: Me too, Honey. (pause) Any dates I should know about?
Reilly: (grins)
Rachel: Aha! Who?
Reilly: This guy, Will. He's 15, but he was kept back a year so he's in some of my classes.
Rachel: (nods) Is he nice?
Reilly: Well.I hated him at first, he was 'really' annoying. But then we got paired for an art project. So one day I went on a date with him, a few days later his girlfriend came along and tried to beat the crap outta me, so.
Rachel: (laughs and shakes her head) Causing trouble already?
Reilly: (defensively) How was I supposed to know he had a girlfriend! He'd been following me around for days! (Rachel just smiles) We're still going shopping tomorrow aren't we?
Rachel: (nods) But remember we can't buy anything, I'm 'very' short on cash at the moment, as you probably remember.
Reilly: (smiles and nods)

Reilly: (smiles) Weren't you spoiled and bad behaved?
Rachel: (defensive) I wasn't bad-behaved (shoots her a look) I'll have you know young lady you used to act VERY spoiled when you were younger, and you were ALWAYS bad behaved.

Livy: (smiles at her) You're really lucky, y'know.
Reilly: (gives her a look) Yeah, sure. My Mom just tried to kill herself, I've already made an enemy at school, and I'm living with my dad, who I only just met about two months ago. Yeah, sure, I'm so lucky.

Livy: Your Mom was engaged?
Reilly: (nods) Yeah. He was great. He was the one who got me started on basketball. I always wanted to play but.y'know, I didn't have anyone to teach me.
Livy: Sorta like a father figure?
Reilly: (looks at her) I.I always wanted a dad. And I woulda done anything to have my real one, but.y'know Garry was there.
Livy: (smiles and nods. Pause) Why did he leave?
Reilly: (thinks for a minute) I don't really wanna talk about it.
Livy: (nods, and looks out the window)
Reilly: (stands up) You wanna go to the park? I'll teach you how to do a three pointer.
Livy: (smiles and stands up) All right.
Reilly: (smiles) Great!

[A week later. Reilly's barely spoken to Ross, and he is getting frustrated. She's been coming home late at night without telling him where she's been. Ross is getting fed up of it]
______________________________________
[Scene: Central Perk (I've hardly any scenes in here so :)) Ross, Chandler and Joey are there. Joey and Chandler on the couch. Ross on the chair]
Ross: Look guys, this is really bugging me now. It's been about two months!
Chandler: Talk to her man.
Joey: Yeah, Rachel's gonna be here in three weeks! You'd better talk to her before or she's just gonna want to leave!
Ross: (sighs)
Chandler: When she comes home tonight, ask her why she's ignoring you.
Ross: I don't know when she'll be home, she's coming home at about 11, 12 at night!
Joey: Uh, isn't it dangerous for a 13 year old girl to be wandering around New York at 12 at night?
Chandler: Just talk to her.
Ross: (looks down, then up) Yeah, I will.

Hiya, remember this story? I haven't posted the next part to this in about.well ages! I think it was in March. So this is for anyone who wants to read what the rest of it is :)
[b]Disclamer[/b]: These characters do not belong to me, they belong to Bright Kauffman and Crane productions.
[b]What's Happened[/b] - After Ross and Rachel broke up, she found out she was pregnant and left without telling the guys. She met a guy, Garry, who helped them out for a while, and they got engaged. But when their daughter, Ashley, dies of leukaemia they call it off and haven't seen each other since. Now, about fourteen/fifteen years into the future, she has a thirteen, nearly fourteen, year old daughter, Reilly, and the two of them get along great. However, Rachel has trouble finding work, and when it comes up to the anniversary of her second baby's death, she commits suicide. She survives, but Reilly doesn't have anyone to go to, except Ross. So she comes over, doesn't get along with him because she finds out why him and Rachel split up. Whilst in an argument, Reilly lets it slip why she hates him so much.and that's where we got to :)
Okay, little things to know (or remember :) ) Monica and Chandler are married and have a daughter, Livy.
Changed what [link=http://members.tripod.com/ohreallynow/pics/26.jpg]Reilly[/link looks like.
The first few scenes are what happened so far. There's about one or two scenes from each part, you can skip 'em if you don't need to read it! :)
[b]Part 1[/b] [Scene: An apartment. Rachel is sitting at a kitchen table eating some cereal. A young blond haired girl comes down the stairs in a dressing gown]
Girl: (In a sweet, joking voice) Good morning, mother!
Rachel: (laughs) Don't call me that it makes me sound old!
Girl: (laughs too) You're not old though.
Rachel: (smiles and shakes her head) So what have you got at school today, then?
Girl: (rolling her eyes) Well I've got chemistry, that's all I'm saying!
Rachel: (laughs again) Rye!
Reilly: (laughing) What I hate it! It's soooo boring! (sits down at the plate infront of her and grabs the cereal box)
Rachel: Are we still having that girls' night in tonight?
Reilly: You bet!
Reilly: (swallows) Remember that guy who gave you his phone number?
Rachel: (eyes her) Yeah?
Reilly: (grinning) Well, aren't you gonna call him? (cheekily) He was cute.
Rachel: (laughs) I think I'll just enjoy single life for the moment, Sweetie.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Yeah, that's what you always say! You haven't been on a date since Cal!
Rachel: Well I do!
Reilly: (looks at her) Oh, come on. Don't you feel just a little tempted to call?
Rachel: Nope.
Reilly: (teasingly) Not at all?
Rachel: No.
Reilly: Not just a teeny, weeny, little.
Rachel: Okay, okay! Maybe a little.
Reilly: Ha!
Rachel: Ha!
(They smiles at each other, and Reilly takes another spoonful of cereal)
[Scene: Cemetery: Reilly is at the grave]
Reilly: Hey sis (smiles slightly) Happy birthday. (Pulls a box out the bag, and opens it, there's a little blue and pink bear made out of flowers in it, she puts it down on the grave, then opens the card and puts it in front of it) Mom told me about my dad last week. His names Ross Geller and he's a palaeontologist. (pause) Mom says he was really sweet, but I don't get why she left him. She said he did something to hurt her (pause) We, uh, haven't heard from your dad in a while, but I bet he still comes here. I miss you. (pause) I'd better go, I haven't been to school today. Love you. (stands up and walks away. The camera rests on the grave stone 'Ashley Marie Carter Died on the 11th April 2001 May She Rest In Peace')
[b]Part 2[/b]
[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]
[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: An office. A woman (not one of those horrible women you see in movies) is sitting there. Reilly is sitting across from her]
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?
Mrs Fraser: I know this is going to be difficult (Reilly looks away frustrated) 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! 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.
[Scene: Monica and Chandler's. Reilly and Phoebe are there]
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)
[b]Part 3[/b]
[Scene: A room, Rachel is there with Dr Milan again]
Rachel: (looking down) When I found out Ashley had leukaemia.I.I felt like I'd failed her, like.like I'd failed Reilly because she didn't have her real dad. (pause) I'd failed both my children, you have no idea what that feels like. (pause) I was told she had about 12 months to live, 18 at the most.but she died at four. (wipes at a tear in her eye) I just shut out after that.Reilly, she.she didn't understand properly, I'd always given her all the attention she ever wanted (takes a deep breath) Garry stuck around after that, for four months.looking after her (she's crying silently) But.then something happened to her. We spent hours in that hospital, just waiting.I realised then, I couldn't keep doing that. My little girl need me, and I needed her. (pause, she wipes her eyes) But.although I could face Reilly, I couldn't face Garry. (pause) I called of the engagement while we were there, but asked him to stay for Reilly, until we found out if she was all right. (pause) I was so happy when the doctor came and said the operation went good. She had a fractured skull and a broken leg. I couldn't believe someone so small could survive that.
Dr Milan: But she did.
Rachel: (nods, slowly.)
[Scene: Reilly is trying to get away from a guy (Will)]
Reilly: (angry) Why are you following me?
Will: Trying to be friendly.
Reilly: By stalking me?! (before he could reply, she made a sharp turn into the girls toilets)
Will: (groans, then turns away and walks towards his locker)
Reilly: (after a few minutes, walks out and looks around. She quickly walks up to her locker and puts her books in it, then turns and walks away)
[Scene: Ross'. It's about 11.30. Ross is sitting on the couch waiting for Reilly to come home. The door opens and Reilly walks in]
Reilly: (just looks at him for a minute, then starts to walk towards her room)
Ross: Reilly (stands up) I need to talk to you.
Reilly: (stops, and reluctantly turns around. She just looks at him)
Ross: Look, I'm really getting fed up with your attitude...
Reilly: (angry) Don't go getting all 'dad' on me now!
Ross: I am your dad, Reilly. And you'd better accept that.
Reilly: (just glares at him)
Ross: (more softly) Look Reilly. I just want you to talk to me.
Reilly: (looks away) I don't want to talk to you, okay.
Ross: You're my daughter (Reilly looks at him) and I want to be apart of your life.
Reilly: You've said that before.
Ross: Well it's true! (Reilly sighs and look away)
Reilly: (looks back at him. Shouting) I've managed to survive the last 14 years without you okay! I don't need you now!
Ross: (shouting back) There must have been a time you wanted your dad!
Reilly: (just stares at him. Not shouting, but firmly) When I was younger, every parents evening, every fathers day, every Christmas, every birthday. (shouting) But you know what, I'm not a baby anymore! I'm 14 years old!
Ross: That wasn't my choice!
Reilly: (turns around and kicks a shelf, causing a photo frame to fall on the floor. She looks at it before picking it up. It's a picture of Carol)
Ross: (seeing it) That's my ex-wife.
Reilly: (looks up) Let me guess, you cheated on her too, right?
Ross: (stares at her shocked)
End of Part 4
[Scene: A building, Reilly walks up to it, with her stuff and walks in]
_____________________________________
[Cut to: Rachel's room. She takes a deep breath, then reaches for the phone. There's a knock on the door]
Rachel: (groans) Come in!
Reilly: (pushes the door open and smiles at her)
Rachel: (her eyes open wide) Reilly! (she walks over and hugs her)
Reilly: (hugging her) I missed you.
Rachel: (pulls back) I missed you too, Sweetie (kisses her cheek) Happy birthday.
Reilly: (smiles at her) I wanted to spend my birthday with you.
Rachel: (closes the door. They walk over and sit on it) So.do you like your dad?
Reilly: (look at her for a moment, then looks down)
Rachel: Reilly, what's wrong? (pause) Did something happen?
Reilly: (looks up at her) So he cheated on you, huh?
Rachel: (shocked) How.how do you know that?
Reilly: (gives her an teasing smirk) I have my ways (then serious) Is that why you left?
Rachel: (takes a deep breath) Among other things.
Reilly: I haven't spoken to him much.
Rachel: Reilly, give him a chance, he's a great dad.
Reilly: (shakes her head) I don't trust him.
Rachel: (rolls her eyes) You don't trust anyone, Reilly.
Reilly: (looks at her) I trust you. I got you. (firmly) I don't need him. Not anymore.
Rachel: Honey.
Reilly: No Mom. When I needed a dad, I had Garry. I don't need a dad anymore, and I never will!
Rachel: (firmly) Reilly, you will always need a dad.
Reilly: Then why'd you run away from him?! If you hadn't of done what you did last month, I probably would have never have met him anyway!
Rachel: (tears in her eyes) What I did, it made me realize, you do need a father. And you have one, and I know he wants to get to know you.(Reilly looks away) if I had died.
Reilly: (looks back at her) Don't talk like that! You're here now! And your fine, and we're gonna go home. Everything's gonna be back the way it was! (a tear streams down her cheek)
Rachel: (closes her eyes, holding back tears, and then hugs her)
Reilly: (whispering) I love you, Mom.
Rachel: I love you too, baby.
[Fade to: Monica & Chandler's. Livy, Ross, Joey, Chandler and Monica are there] Joey: When does Reilly get back, Ross?
Ross: About a week.
Joey: Aw.I can't play basketball for a week.
Chandler: (looks at him) Excuse me? Wha.what about me? We always used to play together.
Joey: Yeah, but she is really really good!
Livy: She's teaching me how to play.
Chandler: (surprised) Since when have you wanted to play basketball?
Livy: (shrugs) Well, she said she'd teach me and I said yes. She's taught me the rules and she's gonna teach me a three pointer when she gets back.
Joey: (nods) When you learn more, tell me! And I'll play ya.
Livy: (smiles) Sure!
Chandler: Yeah me too, honey. (Livy smiles at him)
Monica: So Ross, have you heard from her?
Ross: (shakes his head) I don't think she'll be there yet, but even if she was, I doubt she'd call me.
Chandler: I thought she was starting to talk to you?
Ross: She is, a little. But she doesn't speak to me that much.
Livy: She will eventually.
Ross: (rolls his eyes) She gets along with everyone but me, practically.
(the phone rings. Livy gets it)
Livy: Hello? (pause) Hey! We were just talk about you! (they all look over) So how's it going? (pause) That sounds great! (pause) You wanna speak to Ross? (pause) He's here (pause, then gives the phone to Ross) It's Reilly.
Ross: (surprised, takes the phone) Hello? (pause) Hi. Um.you having fun? (pause) Yeah (pause) all right.
Joey: (mouthing) Let me speak to her.
Ross: (on the phone) You wanna speak to Joey? (pause) Bye (hands the phone to him)
Joey: (takes it) Hey kiddo (pause) What've you been doing? (pause) Well, you better hurry up and get back, I need my favourite basketball player! (pause, laughs) Yeah, all right, (pause) Bye Reilly. (hangs up)
Chandler: (to Ross) See she wanted to talk to you.
Monica: What did she say?
Ross: (shrugs) Nothing much, she just got there.
Joey: Have you spoken to Rachel since all this happened?
Ross: (shakes his head) I don't know if Reilly has though, I got the phone bill a couple of days ago and there was this number called about 8 times or something.
Chandler: Was it a cell phone? Cause Rachel told her that's where she should call her.
Ross: (shakes his head) Maybe it's a friend from Pennsylvania.
Joey: Probably is.
Monica: Wonder who. __________________________________
[Cut to: Reilly outside a door on a porch. A woman gets it]
Reilly: Hi Mrs Harvest, um is Brad here?
Mrs Harvest: (turns around and calls up the stairs) Bradley! Reilly's here!
Brad: (O.S) Just coming! (comes down the stairs) Hey!
Reilly: (smiles) Hey.
Brad: (to his Mom) I'll be back about five.
Mrs Harvest: (nods) I'll see you later.
Brad: See ya (comes out and closes the door) I missed you (hugs her)
Reilly: (breaking it) I missed you, too.
Brad: (picks up a basketball) Lets go to the park, and you can tell me about your trip with daddy (they laugh)
Time Lapse
[Scene: They're at a basketball pitch. Reilly's sitting on a wall, while Brad's shooting the ball in the net]
Reilly:.but I have to go back on Friday.
Brad: I think you should give him a chance.
Reilly: (glares at him)
Brad: Camon Reilly, it's not his fault he wasn't there.
Reilly: (throws a stone over the fence) Yeah, well, it's not my fault either.
Brad: I didn't say it was, but.Do you honestly think your dad wouldn't have wanted you if he knew your Mom was pregnant?
Reilly: (pause) Brad? (he looks at her) If we hadn't gone out that night, Mom would never have slit her wrists.
Brad: Reilly you don't know that. Don't blame yourself.
Reilly: (interrupting him) I know. I'm just saying.you can't change the past.
Brad: But you can change the future (softly) It was your Mom's choice, Reilly, noone else's.
Reilly: (looks up at him) I don't blame her for not having a dad!
Brad: Then why are you blaming him?
Reilly: (angry. She snaps at him) I'm not! Okay! And it was his fault! If he hadn't cheated on her she would never have left!
Brad: (shouting) You don't know that!
Reilly: (shouting) Don't yell at me! I just don't trust him!
Brad: Why?!
Reilly: (shouting) Because I don't! I don't trust anyone! (jumps of the wall and runs down the street)
Brad: Rye! (groans, and throws the ball against the fence)
________________________________
[Fade to: Room. Rachel and Dr Milan are there]
Rachel:.After Reilly got better, we went to stay at my dad's. We were there for about two months, before we got the apartment. I think she started to understand things a lot more, and stopped acting as spoiled as she used to.
Flashback
[Scene: Kitchen. Rachel is there chopping up onions. Reilly (six) walks in]
Rachel: (smiles at her) Hey, Sweetie.
Reilly: (smiles and walks over to her)
Rachel: Have you got another headache?
Reilly: (shakes her head) Can I help?
Rachel: (surprised) You want to help?
Reilly: (smiles and nods, sweetly) Uh huh.
Rachel: (puts the knife down, then walks up to her, and lifts her onto the counter) Did Grandpa tell you?
Reilly: Nope (looks out the window. Cutely) God, look at the bloody rain.
Rachel: (stunned, but amused) Where did you learn that, Reilly Samantha Green?! (she demanded, trying not to laugh)
Reilly: (looks at her) Grandpa said it.
Rachel: Reilly, that's not nice, young girls don't use those words.
Reilly: (confused) But I'm a big girl! You said.
Rachel: Just don't say that sweetie.
Reilly: Is it bad?
Rachel: Yes. (kisses her cheek)
Reilly: (frowns) Okay. What can I do?
Rachel: (looks around, then sees some carrots, in the sink) You can wash those for me.
Reilly: (smiles) All right (walks up to a stool and pushes it towards the sink and climbs up on it)
Rachel: (worried) Watch not fall, honey.
Reilly: (looks over and grins) I'm just about as big as you, Mommy!
Rachel: (smiles lovingly at her)
[Cut back to: Room]
Dr Milan: Did she ever ask after Garry, or her dad?
Rachel: (nods) In the same conversation actually.
Flashback
[Scene: Living room. Rachel and Reilly (seven) are sitting on a couch, Reilly's cuddled up to her, reading a book]
Reilly: The boy went.to the cir.cir.(looks at Rachel for help)
Rachel: Circus.
Reilly: Circus with his daddy (pause)
Rachel: (confused) You know that word Reilly.
Reilly: (closes the book, then look at her) We need to talk.
Rachel: (trying to conceal her laughter. Grinning) Ooo, so serious?
Reilly: When's Garry coming back?
Rachel: (V.O) He'd been gone for about 5 months, but this was the first time she'd asked about him.
Rachel: (the smile disappears) Sweetie, we've talked about this.
Reilly: But he was gonna be my daddy. Why'd he go?
Rachel: (takes a deep breath) We decided it's better this way.
Reilly: But all my friends have daddies! (upset) Katie has two, and I don't even have one! It's not fair!
Rachel: (hugs her) I know, Sweetie.
Reilly: What about my real daddy?
Rachel: (pulls back) Ross.
Reilly: Is that his name?
Rachel: (nods slowly) Yeah.
Reilly: Where is he?
Rachel: New York.
Reilly: Can we go and see him?
Rachel: (shakes her head) No, honey.
Reilly: Why?
Rachel: (pause) It's complicated.
Reilly: What's that mean?
Rachel: You wouldn't understand.
Reilly: Please?
Rachel: (firmly) No, Reilly, we can't, we just can't (near tears)
Reilly: (looks down, guiltily, then back up) Don't cry, Mommy, I'm sorry.
Rachel: (hugs her) It's not your fault, honey.
Reilly: Love you.
Rachel: (whispers) I love you too.
[Cut back to: Room]
Rachel: The next time she asked about him was a few months ago.
Dr Milan: (give her a comforting smile) She's come to visit for the week, hasn't she?
Rachel: (smiles and nods) Yeah, we're going out later. (looks at her watch) Actually in an hour (looks at her) Is it okay if we stop now, I need to get dressed.
Dr Milan: (smiles and nods) I'll see you on Monday.
Rachel: (smiles and nods) All right.
Dr Milan: Bye Rachel.
Rachel: (stands up, and smiles weakly back) Bye.

[Scene: Ross' bedroom. He's sitting on the bed looking at a photo album. We see it's got pictures of him and Rachel]
Chandler: (walks in) Ross? (sees him) What'ya doing?
Ross: (looks up) Just looking at a few photos. (starts to close it, but Chandler takes it)
Chandler: I thought you didn't look at these anymore.
Ross: (sighs) I don't, not usually. (Chandler flicks through the pages) How could she do that Chandler?
Chandler: (looks at him) Who?
Ross: Rachel! How could she not tell me she was pregnant?!
Chandler: (closes the album and puts it down) She was probably terrified, Ross. You know Rachel.
Ross: No, I thought I knew her. (pause) Now I have a thirteen year old daughter who hates me.
Chandler: She doesn't hate you Ross.
Ross: (shakes his head) She shoulda told me, I woulda helped her.
Chandler: (sighs) You do know you're gonna have to see her soon.
Ross: (looks at him) I don't even know what I'm gonna say to her. (stands up, he has tears in his eyes) I hate her so much right now.
Chandler: (rubs his shoulder (friendly way!)) Ross, you know this is the sort of thing Rachel would do, and that's who you fell in love with.
Ross: I've always loved her.but (looks at him) Let's just say while you and Monica were dating, she ran off pregnant, then fourteen years later you find out you had Livy and you go through all this. Would you be able to forgive her?
Chandler: (takes a deep breath, then slowly shakes his head) No.
Ross: (looks down, then up) I don't know if I can forgive her for this Chandler. I really don't.
______________________________________
[Scene: A café place. Rachel and Reilly are there.
Rachel: So, how do you like New York?
Reilly: (frowns, then takes a bite out of her sandwich)
Rachel: (rolls her eyes, and smiles) Have you made any friends?
Reilly: I get along great with they guys, especially Joey, we play basketball nearly everyday. (Rachel smiles) And Livy's really great, she's helped me out n' stuff.
Rachel: (smiles) How long are you here for?
Reilly: Till Friday. I get the week off school.
Rachel: (laughs) How did your dad agree to that?
Reilly: (looks down guiltily)
Rachel: (frowns) Does he know you're here?
Reilly: (looks up) He thinks I'm away on a school trip.
Rachel: Reilly.
Reilly: Mom, he knows I'm gonna be away for the week, so he won't get worried, okay?
Rachel: (shakes her head) Reilly, he has to know you're here, what if he finds out?
Reilly: (shrugs) I can handle it.
Rachel: (frustrated) Well I can't! He probably hates me enough right now.
Reilly: (looks down, then back up) at least wait until Monday or something, he might end up saying I have to go home.
Rachel: (sighs) I'll tell him tomorrow (pause) No, you'll tell him tomorrow.
Reilly: (groans) All right.
(silence for a few minutes)
Rachel: You gotta give him a chance.
Reilly: (looks at her) Why?
Rachel: Rye, you've always wanted a dad, you've always been jealous of your friends because they have one and now you get your chance, you're just throwing it away.
Reilly: Well, I didn't exactly think this was what it was gonna be like.
Rachel: What did you think it was gonna be like?
Reilly: (pause) Well, I thought you were gonna be there for one thing.
Rachel: (sighs) I'm sorry, honey.
Reilly: But.this is different, I mean.I didn't think it would be like this. I don't know.I just pictured it differently.
Rachel: (reached over and put her hand on her shoulder) Not everything can be the way you want it, honey. (pause) Believe me, I know.
Reilly: (nods, then looks down) I had an argument with Brad.
Rachel: (looks at her, then sips her tea. Pause) Wanna talk about it?
Reilly: (stirs her drink with a straw) He told me to give dad a chance, and.I just snapped (looks at her) You know how I can do that?
Rachel: (nods) Oh yes, I do.
Reilly: (smirks and looks down) A guy ever really got on your nerves about something before?
Rachel: (nods her head, smiling) Absolutely.
Reilly: (smiles at her. Rachel smiles back) I've missed this.
Rachel: Me too, Honey. (pause) Any dates I should know about?
Reilly: (grins)
Rachel: Aha! Who?
Reilly: This guy, Will. He's 15, but he was kept back a year so he's in some of my classes.
Rachel: (nods) Is he nice?
Reilly: Well.I hated him at first, he was 'really' annoying. But then we got paired for an art project. So one day I went on a date with him, a few days later his girlfriend came along and tried to beat the crap outta me, so.
Rachel: (laughs and shakes her head) Causing trouble already?
Reilly: (defensively) How was I supposed to know he had a girlfriend! He'd been following me around for days! (Rachel just smiles) We're still going shopping tomorrow aren't we?
Rachel: (nods) But remember we can't buy anything, I'm 'very' short on cash at the moment, as you probably remember.
Reilly: (smiles and nods)

Reilly: (walks over to the bed and lies down on it) Wanna go and catch a movie tonight?
Rachel: (smiles) Sure, Honey.

Rachel: (looks over) Yeah, Sweetie?
Reilly: What did you want to be? You know, when you were younger?
Rachel: (thinks about it) I didn't really know. I didn't take that sorta stuff seriously back then.
Reilly: (smiles) Weren't you spoiled and bad behaved?
Rachel: (defensive) I wasn't bad-behaved (shoots her a look) I'll have you know young lady you used to act VERY spoiled when you were younger, and you were ALWAYS bad behaved.
Reilly: (laughs) Camon, I wasn't that bad!
Rachel: (nods) Oh, yes you were! You always wanted everything!
Reilly: Nu uh!
Rachel: Yu huh!

Livy: What did ya do?
Reilly: (shrugs) Just the normal, shopping, cinema and talking (pause) it's funny that little things like that are the stuff you miss most when you're away. I never realised how much I loved doing those things with Mom.
Livy: (smiles at her) You're really lucky, y'know.
Reilly: (gives her a look) Yeah, sure. My Mom just tried to kill herself, I've already made an enemy at school, and I'm living with my dad, who I only just met about two months ago. Yeah, sure, I'm so lucky.
Livy: I mean, y'know. You and your Mom are so close. You tell each other stuff and hang out.
Reilly: (shrugs) Yeah after Ashley (cuts off, remembering she'd never told her about Ashley)
Livy: Who's Ashley?
Reilly: (trying to get out of it) Uh, this girl (quickly) woman, Mom used to know.

Livy: (smiles) How old were you?
Reilly: Six, nearly seven. Garry had just left.
Livy: And Garry is?
Reilly: (looks at her for a moment) Mom's fiancé. Well, ex-fiancé.
Livy: Your Mom was engaged?
Reilly: (nods) Yeah. He was great. He was the one who got me started on basketball. I always wanted to play but.y'know, I didn't have anyone to teach me.
Livy: Sorta like a father figure?
Reilly: (looks at her) I.I always wanted a dad. And I woulda done anything to have my real one, but.y'know Garry was there.
Livy: (smiles and nods. Pause) Why did he leave?
Reilly: (thinks for a minute) I don't really wanna talk about it.
Livy: (nods, and looks out the window)
Reilly: (stands up) You wanna go to the park? I'll teach you how to do a three pointer.
Livy: (smiles and stands up) All right.
Reilly: (smiles) Great!

[A week later. Reilly's barely spoken to Ross, and he is getting frustrated. She's been coming home late at night without telling him where she's been. Ross is getting fed up of it]
______________________________________
[Scene: Central Perk (I've hardly any scenes in here so :)) Ross, Chandler and Joey are there. Joey and Chandler on the couch. Ross on the chair]
Ross: Look guys, this is really bugging me now. It's been about two months!
Chandler: Talk to her man.
Joey: Yeah, Rachel's gonna be here in three weeks! You'd better talk to her before or she's just gonna want to leave!
Ross: (sighs)
Chandler: When she comes home tonight, ask her why she's ignoring you.
Ross: I don't know when she'll be home, she's coming home at about 11, 12 at night!
Joey: Uh, isn't it dangerous for a 13 year old girl to be wandering around New York at 12 at night?
Chandler: Just talk to her.
Ross: (looks down, then up) Yeah, I will.

Hiya, remember this story? I haven't posted the next part to this in about.well ages! I think it was in March. So this is for anyone who wants to read what the rest of it is :)
[b]Disclamer[/b]: These characters do not belong to me, they belong to Bright Kauffman and Crane productions.
[b]What's Happened[/b] - After Ross and Rachel broke up, she found out she was pregnant and left without telling the guys. She met a guy, Garry, who helped them out for a while, and they got engaged. But when their daughter, Ashley, dies of leukaemia they call it off and haven't seen each other since. Now, about fourteen/fifteen years into the future, she has a thirteen, nearly fourteen, year old daughter, Reilly, and the two of them get along great. However, Rachel has trouble finding work, and when it comes up to the anniversary of her second baby's death, she commits suicide. She survives, but Reilly doesn't have anyone to go to, except Ross. So she comes over, doesn't get along with him because she finds out why him and Rachel split up. Whilst in an argument, Reilly lets it slip why she hates him so much.and that's where we got to :)
Okay, little things to know (or remember :) ) Monica and Chandler are married and have a daughter, Livy.
Changed what [link=http://members.tripod.com/ohreallynow/pics/26.jpg]Reilly[/link looks like.
The first few scenes are what happened so far. There's about one or two scenes from each part, you can skip 'em if you don't need to read it! :)
[b]Part 1[/b] [Scene: An apartment. Rachel is sitting at a kitchen table eating some cereal. A young blond haired girl comes down the stairs in a dressing gown]
Girl: (In a sweet, joking voice) Good morning, mother!
Rachel: (laughs) Don't call me that it makes me sound old!
Girl: (laughs too) You're not old though.
Rachel: (smiles and shakes her head) So what have you got at school today, then?
Girl: (rolling her eyes) Well I've got chemistry, that's all I'm saying!
Rachel: (laughs again) Rye!
Reilly: (laughing) What I hate it! It's soooo boring! (sits down at the plate infront of her and grabs the cereal box)
Rachel: Are we still having that girls' night in tonight?
Reilly: You bet!
Reilly: (swallows) Remember that guy who gave you his phone number?
Rachel: (eyes her) Yeah?
Reilly: (grinning) Well, aren't you gonna call him? (cheekily) He was cute.
Rachel: (laughs) I think I'll just enjoy single life for the moment, Sweetie.
Reilly: (rolls her eyes) Yeah, that's what you always say! You haven't been on a date since Cal!
Rachel: Well I do!
Reilly: (looks at her) Oh, come on. Don't you feel just a little tempted to call?
Rachel: Nope.
Reilly: (teasingly) Not at all?
Rachel: No.
Reilly: Not just a teeny, weeny, little.
Rachel: Okay, okay! Maybe a little.
Reilly: Ha!
Rachel: Ha!
(They smiles at each other, and Reilly takes another spoonful of cereal)
[Scene: Cemetery: Reilly is at the grave]
Reilly: Hey sis (smiles slightly) Happy birthday. (Pulls a box out the bag, and opens it, there's a little blue and pink bear made out of flowers in it, she puts it down on the grave, then opens the card and puts it in front of it) Mom told me about my dad last week. His names Ross Geller and he's a palaeontologist. (pause) Mom says he was really sweet, but I don't get why she left him. She said he did something to hurt her (pause) We, uh, haven't heard from your dad in a while, but I bet he still comes here. I miss you. (pause) I'd better go, I haven't been to school today. Love you. (stands up and walks away. The camera rests on the grave stone 'Ashley Marie Carter Died on the 11th April 2001 May She Rest In Peace')
[b]Part 2[/b]
[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]
[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: An office. A woman (not one of those horrible women you see in movies) is sitting there. Reilly is sitting across from her]
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?
Mrs Fraser: I know this is going to be difficult (Reilly looks away frustrated) 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! 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.
[Scene: Monica and Chandler's. Reilly and Phoebe are there]
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)
[b]Part 3[/b]
[Scene: A room, Rachel is there with Dr Milan again]
Rachel: (looking down) When I found out Ashley had leukaemia.I.I felt like I'd failed her, like.like I'd failed Reilly because she didn't have her real dad. (pause) I'd failed both my children, you have no idea what that feels like. (pause) I was told she had about 12 months to live, 18 at the most.but she died at four. (wipes at a tear in her eye) I just shut out after that.Reilly, she.she didn't understand properly, I'd always given her all the attention she ever wanted (takes a deep breath) Garry stuck around after that, for four months.looking after her (she's crying silently) But.then something happened to her. We spent hours in that hospital, just waiting.I realised then, I couldn't keep doing that. My little girl need me, and I needed her. (pause, she wipes her eyes) But.although I could face Reilly, I couldn't face Garry. (pause) I called of the engagement while we were there, but asked him to stay for Reilly, until we found out if she was all right. (pause) I was so happy when the doctor came and said the operation went good. She had a fractured skull and a broken leg. I couldn't believe someone so small could survive that.
Dr Milan: But she did.
Rachel: (nods, slowly.)
[Scene: Reilly is trying to get away from a guy (Will)]
Reilly: (angry) Why are you following me?
Will: Trying to be friendly.
Reilly: By stalking me?! (before he could reply, she made a sharp turn into the girls toilets)
Will: (groans, then turns away and walks towards his locker)
Reilly: (after a few minutes, walks out and looks around. She quickly walks up to her locker and puts her books in it, then turns and walks away)
[Scene: Ross'. It's about 11.30. Ross is sitting on the couch waiting for Reilly to come home. The door opens and Reilly walks in]
Reilly: (just looks at him for a minute, then starts to walk towards her room)
Ross: Reilly (stands up) I need to talk to you.
Reilly: (stops, and reluctantly turns around. She just looks at him)
Ross: Look, I'm really getting fed up with your attitude...
Reilly: (angry) Don't go getting all 'dad' on me now!
Ross: I am your dad, Reilly. And you'd better accept that.
Reilly: (just glares at him)
Ross: (more softly) Look Reilly. I just want you to talk to me.
Reilly: (looks away) I don't want to talk to you, okay.
Ross: You're my daughter (Reilly looks at him) and I want to be apart of your life.
Reilly: You've said that before.
Ross: Well it's true! (Reilly sighs and look away)
Reilly: (looks back at him. Shouting) I've managed to survive the last 14 years without you okay! I don't need you now!
Ross: (shouting back) There must have been a time you wanted your dad!
Reilly: (just stares at him. Not shouting, but firmly) When I was younger, every parents evening, every fathers day, every Christmas, every birthday. (shouting) But you know what, I'm not a baby anymore! I'm 14 years old!
Ross: That wasn't my choice!
Reilly: (turns around and kicks a shelf, causing a photo frame to fall on the floor. She looks at it before picking it up. It's a picture of Carol)
Ross: (seeing it) That's my ex-wife.
Reilly: (looks up) Let me guess, you cheated on her too, right?
Ross: (stares at her shocked)
