Hey everybody!! I'm in the middle of plotting isobars (if you have any clue
what they are....) on a stupid graph. Man, I hate this kind of stuff! I
have TONS of HW, so this part is going to be sort of short. But you guys
keep asking for more....hehe...and I'm a nice person! Right. Anyway, here
you go, don't complain if its short! I warned you!
~*Family Portrait*~
(Ross woke up the next morning and left to the airport, just leaving a note on the kitchen counter, knowing Rachel would see it. He hadn't wanted to wake her up, and he wanted to leave early, because he had some things to take care of.....)
~~
Ross arrived in LA a few hours later, and by then, the sun was shinning brightly and you could barely know that winter was approaching. He arrived at his house to find that nobody was awake yet, so he just walked upstairs and into his and Beth's room, thinking hard. Last night, after he and Rachel had talked a little while longer, she headed up to bed and he had fallen asleep on the couch. A few hours he had woke up, and he couldn't fall back asleep again. He had lied there for almost more than 3 hours, just thinking about the situation he was in. And he had made up his mind. That's why he had come back.
~~
When Ross walked into the room, he saw Beth lying there on top of the bed covers and everything, still dressed in her work clothes. Ross sat down beside her, looking confused. He started shaking her and soon after, she stirred. She slowly opened her eyes, and when she saw him there, her eyes went wide.
Beth: ROSS!! Oh my GOD! I have been SO worried about you!!! Where the hell have you been?!?!
Ross: What? Nobody told you??
Beth: I came home very late.....everybody was already in bed! I didn't want to wake anybody!
Ross: I was in New York....
Beth: New York??
Ross: I had some things to take care of.......
Beth: Oh. Did Melanie end up going home?
(Ross nods)
Beth: Ross, I don't understand why she's so messed up.
Ross: Messed up? What are you talking about?
Beth: Melanie! What else?
Ross: She's not messed up!
Beth: Oh come on Ross......I realised it a few days after she came. She keeps to herself....she's always sad and crying. And she NEVER talks to anybody! I TRIED to be nice to her! (pause) Look, I know that you and your other wife got divorced....and she's just sad about it. But hey, Maggie went through a divorce too.....but she doesn't act like that.
Ross: (getting upset) There's a lot of stuff that you dont really know....!
Beth: Well, I have time!
Ross: And that you never will know!!
Beth: Ross, we're going to be MARRIED! We can't keep secrets from each other.....we have to trust each other!!
Ross: Hey, I don't have to tell you EVERYTHING okay??
Beth: I've opened up to you Ross! And you've never told me anything!! All you have told me is that you had a daughter that died and you and your ex- wife were always fighting.
Ross: (upset) That's all you should know! That's more than enough!!
Beth: Is it her mother that makes her so messed up? (raising her voice a bit) You saw her yesterday...........how is she doing? Has she gone mad yet?
Ross: shut up!!
Beth: Dont tell ME to shut up!
Ross: Why are you being so cruel?? What has she done to you!? You dont even know her!
Beth: Look, Melanie is going to be my step-daughter, right?! And well, I dont really FEEL like she is!! She NEVER would talk to me......she would always be rude!! And I do NOT want to be treated like that!
Ross: Oh my GOD! Beth, why are you acting like the whole WORLD revolves around YOU?! If she doesn't like you.....that's not her problem!
Beth: WHAT?!
Ross: (now really mad) I mean, look at you!! You act like you're so good! And you know what, I hate it!!
Beth: Ross, can you hear what you're saying?!
Ross: OH I HEAR IT ALL RIGHT!
Beth: Calm down!
Ross: You started this!!!
Beth: You dont have to over-react!
Ross: Oh my God....I cant take this anymore.....I'm leaving!
Beth: What?
Ross: That's right! I don't know WHY I even thought of marrying you!!
Beth: (looks hurt) What?
Ross: (lowers his voice, noticing her hurt look) I didn't mean that in a mean way. It's just.....
Beth: (suddenly glaring really hard at him) Well, what ever way you meant it....you hurt my feelings Ross. Why don't you just get out!
Ross: this is my house!
Beth: I dont care.....who wants this house anyway!
Ross: Well, if you exist in it, I wouldn't.
Beth: GET OUT!
Ross: (slams open the door) I AM! (they're now walking down the stairs) I hope you have a good life.....and while you're at it, tell your DAUGHTER that she's got some nerve!!
Beth: What??
Ross: Yeah, tell her NOBODY treats MY daughter the way she treated her! She had NO RIGHT! Telling Melanie that I loved HER more!
Beth: WHATEVER! (pause) GO! I hope you find a wife that can actually handle a JERK like YOU!
Ross: VICE-VERSA!!
Beth: Or even better, why don't you go run to your little Rachel.....!
Ross: What ever beth......(he opens the front door) Have a good life....
Beth: (she turns her back to him) What ever.
(he walks out and slams the door. She stares at the door and suddenly, tears begin to fall and we fade to outside the door, where we see Ross standing, staring at the door. After a while he glares at it and walks over to the car and gets in. When he pulls out of the drive way, we fade out.)
~~
(we fade into Rachel's and Mel's. Rachel walks into the kitchen)
Rachel: (quietly) Ross? Are you in here? (to her self) Weird.....
(she walks to the counter and sees the note. She slowly picks it up and reads it)
"Dear Rachel. Went back home to LA. -Ross"
That was it. That was all he had written. She dropped the note and began to cry quietly. She had spent the whole night thinking about what Ross had said to her, and she had finally decided. She was going to forgive him, and try to give it another shot. She loved him so much.....she never had stopped loving her. But it seemed like he had been lying, since he had gone back to LA, and left her without even saying a proper goodbye.
(Melanie suddenly comes up into the doorway and sees Rachel crying)
Melanie: Mom?
(Rachel quickly dries her tears and turns around)
Melanie: What happened? (Rachel says nothing and just stares at her, her eyes filling up with tears again. After a while, Melanie seems to get what happened and she slowly walks into Rachel's arms. They stand there for like forever and we fade to Ross sitting in the air plane, staring out the window. The screen splits and we see both scenes. After a while, it fades away and everything is pitch black.)
