Love just is
(that weekend)
Claire: (watching tv downstairs)
Melanie: (walking down the staris) What are you doing up so early?
Claire: What time is it?
Melanie: 6 A.M on a saturday.
Claire: Oh.. (shrugs) can’t sleep.
Melanie: (goes to the kitchen) how come?
Claire: I don’t know..
Melanie: You haven’t told anyone about that thing right?
Claire: I told you I wouldn’t.
Melanie: (making tea) Just making sure.
Claire: How are you and uncle Aaron?
Melanie: We’re gonna be just fine.
Claire: I hope so.
Melanie: You want tea?
Claire: Sure.
Melanie: How’s school going?
Claire: Fine I guess.
Melanie: I suppose you have friends now.
Claire: Just Danny..
Melanie: Oh. Well thats okay too many friends isn’t that good anyway. (sits next to her hand hands her her cup)
Claire: (shrugs) thanks.
Melanie: No problem. What are you watching?
Claire: The big bang theory.
Melanie: From my dvds?
Claire: Yeah.. I didn’t know what it was so I just put it in.
Melanie: It’s funny, I like it.
Claire: Yeah I guess it’s okay.
Melanie: (playing with her tea bag) So um.. are you and Danny going out?
Claire: (shakes her head) nope.
Melanie: Cassie told me about the other day..
Claire: Oh..
Melanie: So you do like him.
Claire: We didn’t kiss..
Melanie: You would have if she didn’t walk in.
Claire: Maybe.
Melanie: (smiles and looks down at her tea)
Claire: How come you’re up?
Melanie: Same reason as you.
Claire: You know I um.. I go to school and I see everyone with your books.
Melanie: Thats good.
Claire: How many do you have again?
Melanie: Just four.
Claire: And you’re 23..
Melanie: Yep.
Claire: Thats crazy.
Melanie: Yeah..
Claire: Whats it like.. being famous?
Melanie: (shrugs) It’s okay, im just always busy with something.
Claire: You’re not busy now.
Melanie: Thank God. I’ve gotten a break.
Claire: Is it weird knowing that everyone knows everything about you?
Melanie: I got used to it.
Claire: I think it’s creepy.
Melanie: Don’t you want to be famous one day?
Claire: Well yeah but.. not as famous as you.
Melanie: You don’t like being the center of attention?
Claire: Not really.
Melanie: What do you want to do anyway?
Claire: I umm..
Melanie: (looks at her)
Claire: I don’t know.
Melanie: I wish you wouldn’t lie to me.
Claire: What?
Melanie: Cassie told me about everything.
Claire: Oh.. I just--
Melanie: You don’t have to explain yourself to me.
Claire: (doesn’t say anything)
Melanie: You could have just asked me for a camera Claire..
Claire: I didn’t think you’d say yes.
Melanie: Of course I would.
Claire: So you will?
Melanie: Yeah we can go later today.
Claire: (smiles) Thank you.
Melanie: Your welcome.
Claire: (looks back at the tv)
Melanie: Can I ask you something?
Claire: Yeah sure.
Melanie: You haven’t read any of my books.. have you?
Claire: No.. I haven’t really ever read a book.
Melanie: Oh.
Claire: But everyone likes them.
Melanie: (smiles) I like to hear that.
Claire: I bet.
Melanie: Would you read one?
Claire: (shrugs)
Melanie: Please?
Claire: Whats A believer about?
Melanie: (smiles) This girl that moves in with her aunt after her mom was in a tragic accident.
Claire: Thats it?
Melanie: Well, I don’t want to tell you the whole thing.
Claire: But whats the whole point?
Melanie: You have to read it.
Claire: (sighs) I guess I’ll never know then.
Melanie: Aren't you curious?
Claire: I'll just ask Danny. But I'd really like to know from the authors point of view.
Melanie: (sighs) Long story short it's about this young lady who really just wants to find herself.
Claire: Thats it? Thats what everyone is going crazy about? A book about someone finding themselves and where they stand?
Melanie: Basically.
Claire: That is so stupid.
Melanie: Well im sorry you don't like it.
Claire: Isn't there any action, or, anything!?
Melanie: Find out for yourself. There's a copy over there on the shelf if you ever want to read it.
Claire: (looks over at the self) I think im good.
Melanie: Whatever.
(later at Danny's house)
Cassie: (still sleeping)
Danny: (runs in her room)
Marissa: (goes after him) GIVE IT TO ME.
Cassie: (wakes up)
Danny: IT WAS MINE FIRST.
Marissa: WELL TOO BAD IT'S MINE NOW.
Cassie: (rubs her head) Danny..
Danny: YOU HAD NO RIGHT TO GO IN MY ROOM AND TAKE IT, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH THIS MEANS TO ME!
Marissa: IT WAS OURS, WE SHARED IT.
Cassie: Danny..
Danny: WHY DO YOU EVEN WANT IT! IT DOESN'T APPLY FOR MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Marissa: BECAUSE I JUST DO NOW GIVE IT.
Cassie: GUYS!
Danny: (looks at her)
Marissa: (looks at her)
Cassie: (sits up and holds the sheets against her) Where is your dad?
Danny: He left.
Cassie: Where?
Danny: I don't know.
Cassie: (looks at Marissa) What are you doing here?
Marissa: I just thought I'd stop by.
Cassie: aw how sweet. Why are you two fighting now?
Danny: SHE TOOK MY CAMERA.
Marissa: OUR CAMERA.
Danny: IT WAS MINE FIRST!
Cassie: What, what are you talking about!?
Danny: She took my first camera you got me.
Marissa: OUR FIRST CAMERA.
Danny: YOU DON'T NEED IT!
Marissa: NEITHER DO YOU YOU HAVE LIKE 50 CAMERA'S IN YOUR ROOM I DON'T HAVE ANY, I WANT THAT ONE.
Cassie: HEY!!!
Danny: (doesn't say anything)
Cassie: Give the camera to Marissa, Danny
Danny: BUT MOM!
Cassie: But mom what? She's right. She's never here and that has all of our memories in it. Let her keep it.
Danny: EXACTLY SHE'S NEVER HERE SO I WANT IT BACK.
Cassie: Good to know that you miss her.
Danny: No, I don't miss her, I miss the person she used to be. (goes to his room with the camera).
Marissa: What the hell does that mean?
Cassie: I don't know. Do you know where your dad is?
Marissa: I think he said something about going to the bank or something.
Cassie: Oh.
Marissa: I missed you.
Cassie: I missed you too. Go talk to your brother will you?
Marissa: Sure only because I want my camera. (goes to his room)
Cassie: (goes to the bathroom)
Marissa: (banging on the door) OPEN UP.
Danny: LEAVE!
Marissa: IM SERIOUS DANNY OPEN UP THE DOOR.
Danny: NO!
Marissa: MOM SAID SO.
Danny: I DON'T CARE ABOUT WHAT MOM SAYS LEAVE ME ALONE.
Marissa: GIVE ME BACK MY CAMERA
Danny: IT'S MY CAMERA!
Cassie: (sighs)
(with Melanie).
Aaron: Babe are we doing anything for thanksgiving?
Melanie: When is that again?
Aaron: Three weeks.
Melanie: Sure if you want.
Aaron: What are you doing?
Melanie: Looking for a number.
Aaron: Who's?
Melanie: No ones.
Aaron: Well obviously it's someone if your looking for it.
Melanie: Well no one thats important.
Aaron: If he's not important then why would you be searching for the number?
Melanie: Would you just let me be?
Aaron: I just want to know who it is.
Melanie: I don't want to tell you.
Aaron: Why not?
Melanie: Because.
Aaron: Because what?
Melanie: Because I just don't want you to know who it is.
Aaron: Would it just so happen to be the father of your baby?
Melanie: (looks up at him)
Aaron: Wow.
Melanie: I can explain.
Aaron: What is it now?
Melanie: I just want him to know.
Aaron: Why!?
Melanie: Wouldn't you want to know you were having a child!
Aaron: Technically you're the one having it.
Melanie: You know what I mean!
Aaron: I thought you said I was going to be the father.
Melanie: Well yeah but--
Aaron: Then why would want to tell him? I thought you said that--
Melanie: Forget what I said. He needs to know.
Aaron: I don't want him in your life, especially after what he did.
Melanie: I think that it's my decision, not yours.
Aaron: We're married, im the man and I make the final decisions here, and I say don't call him.
Melanie: What if it were you!
Aaron: But it's not.
Melanie: Lets just speak hypothetically here.
Aaron: Im sorry sugar plum, but im not living in a hypothetical world.
Melanie: You're such an ass you know that.
Aaron: Im an ass? Oh really?
Melanie: Yes, you're an ass.
Aaron: Why because I don't want you to involve your kid with that syco-path!
Melanie: He's not a syco-path Aaron he's a nice guy and he was drunk at the time!
Aaron: He works for your sister he's bound to end up as one soon!
Melanie: Im not discussing this with you Aaron. Im going to tell him, im going to have this child, im not going to put it up for adoption, and if he's not willing to help take care of it well then I'll take custody. With out the press finding out.
Aaron: Good luck with that Melanie, good luck.
Melanie: I just don't even see what the big deal is.
Aaron: The big deal is that you ask me to help you raise this child as if it were my own and then now your looking for that guys number to see if he's willing to take responsibility.
Melanie: Jake used to be a really good friend of mine, Aaron, and just because he was drunk and did something stupid doesn't mean im going to forbid him in taking action with this child.
Aaron: Even if he threatened you?
Melanie: It wasn't that big of a threat, and even if he didn't, I still wouldn't have told the police because he was a friend.
Aaron: Yeah, and why isn't he now?
Melanie: Because of his job. He couldn't keep talking to me I told you all of this already.
Aaron: You know what, you do whatever you want.
Melanie: Good thats what I was doing before. (keeps looking in the phone book)
Aaron: (goes to the room).
Claire: Im going over Danny's.
Melanie: Be home for dinner.
Claire: Yeah okay. (grabs her jacket and goes around the corner to Danny's house)
Cassie: (sitting on the porch swing with Aidan)
Claire: (smiles at them) aww.
Aidan: Hey Claire here to see Danny?
Claire: Yes sir.
Aidan: He's in his room.
Claire: Alrighty thank you. (goes inside)
Cassie: (cuddles up next to him) I love you.
Aidan: (puts his arm around her) I love you too.. how come you didn't say anything to her?
Cassie: (shrugs) She's kinda weird.
Aidan: Why?
Cassie: I don't know there's just something about her.
Aidan: Is that why you don't want her to be with Danny?
Cassie: Yeah.
Aidan: Oh.. isn't she living with Melanie?
Cassie: Yeah.. thats Andrea's daughter.
Aidan: (looks down at her) You're kidding.
Cassie: No, im not. She's just like her too.
Aidan: What do you mean?
Cassie: Gorgeous, can have any guy with the snap of her fingers, though she choose's not to, not many friends, quiet/shy but most importantly, dangerous.
Aidan: Sounds a lot like you.
Cassie: Yeah well, Andy and I had a lot in common.
Aidan: You and Andrea were the same person, only difference was that you were far more dangerous than her, though you knew it and you have this little sweet girl look and can get away with anything, and the bad thing is, is that you know it.
Cassie: (smiles) right about that.
Aidan: (kisses her head)
(with Danny & Claire)
Danny: So basically you want me, to help you solve a murder case that can only get us killed.
Claire: Exactly.
Danny: You're out of your mind.
Claire: Danny come on!
Danny: You're going to put yourself in a really dangerous position and may not ever be able to get out of it, look at your mom she's stuck like that for the rest of her life.
Claire: Im already in danger. If we figure it out and get proof we can tell the police and my mom will be safe again.
Danny: Your mom obviously doesn't want the police to know, for whatever reason.
Claire: I find it a bit embarrassing that they speak of this case in school and mention my moms name in and out, why do you think I don't have friends!
Danny: Hey in my defense I knew that you were her daughter and still talked to you.
Claire: Come on Danny, please?
Danny: Even if I said yes, where would we start?
Claire: Learn more about the case, duh.
Danny: From who?
Claire: The smartest teacher in the school.
Danny: Which would be?
Claire: That teacher that you think is hot- she teaches law.
Danny: Fine, im in.
Claire: Really?
Danny: Yeah.
Claire: Okay but you can't tell anyone.
Danny: Of course.
Claire: (smiles at him)
Danny: (kisses her)
(with Marissa)
Marissa: (shaking, goes to Danny's room) Danny where's mom?
Danny: Umm.. I don't know.
Claire: She's outside with your dad.
Marissa: Hey Claire, and thanks.
Claire: No problem.
Marissa: (jogs downstairs and goes outside)
Cassie: (looks at her) Hey sweetie.
Marissa: Mom I don't feel good.
Cassie: Whats wrong?
Marissa: Im shaking and I feel like im about to pass out.
Aidan: Yeah your really pale.
Cassie: Did you do your insulin injection?
Marissa: (nods her head)
Cassie: You probably put too much, come here. (takes her hand and goes inside)
Marissa: Am I going to be okay?
Cassie: Have I ever let anything happen to you?
Marissa: (shakes her head)
Cassie: Then? Here eat these. (hands her a handful of life savers) not all of them though
Marissa: (nods her head and puts some in her mouth)
Cassie: Go sit on the sofa and watch tv..
Marissa: Thats it?
Cassie: What did you expect?
Marissa: I don't know.
Cassie: I can alway take you to the doctors office.
Marissa: No, no im okay. (goes to the sofa)
Aidan: (sits next to her) What did mom tell you?
Marissa: She just made me eat candy.
Aidan: (looks at Cassie) You could have just given her fruit juice..
Cassie: I could have, except you didn't buy me any.
Aidan: Oh yeah.
Marissa: Mom it isn't working.
Cassie: Give it some time. (sits next her)
Marissa: I feel dizzy
Cassie: Yeah thats a side-effect. Don't worry. How much did you put?
Marissa: I don't know I can't remember.
Cassie: (sighs) Try to be a little more careful next time. Babe move so she can lay down.
Aidan: (gets up and goes to the kitchen)
Marissa: (lays down)
Cassie: Tell me if it gets worse.
(with Aaron & Melanie)
Melanie: (knocks on the door) Aaron..
Aaron: (ignores her)
Melanie: (walks in) Aaron please understand.
Aaron: I don't want him in our lives.
Melanie: But Aaron!
Aaron: I don't.
Melanie: He doesn't have to be in ours, but he's going to be in Mary's.
Aaron: Who the hell is Mary!?
Melanie: (points to her stomach)
Aaron: You already picked a name?
Melanie: I've always liked that name.
Aaron: What if it's a boy?
Melanie: It;s not.
Aaron: How do you know?
Melanie: Because I say it's not.
Aaron: Whatever Melanie. The only way he can be in ''Mary's'' life is if he is in yours first. Which makes him in mine.
Melanie: He's a good guy Aaron.
Aaron: He abused of you!
Melanie: He was drunk!
Aaron: (rubs his eyes) What does that prove to you?
Melanie: Oh come on like you've never been drunk before.
Aaron: We're not talking about me.
Melanie: (tears in her eyes) Please Aaron, help me get through this, let me call him.
Aaron: I already told you do whatever you want/
Melanie: I can't do it knowing you don't want me to. Please.
Aaron: I want to meet him.
Melanie: What are you my father?
Aaron: No, but im your husband.
Melanie: (runs and hugs him) I love you.
Aaron: (holds onto her) I love you more.
(At Cassie's)
Cassie: Babe im gonna go check up on Danny.
Aidan: K..
Cassie: (goes to his room) -door locked- Thats weird.. (knocks on the door) Danny?
Claire: Oh shit.
Danny: Shh.. she'll leave. (kisses her)
Cassie: (keeps knocking) Danny!
Danny: Oh my gosh mother. Go hide.
Claire: (runs to his closet)
Danny: (gets dressed)
Cassie: Danny are you okay!?
Danny: (opens up the door) Yeah, im fine.
Cassie: I haven't seen you since you woke me up. what are you up to?
Danny: Um nothing just video games.
Cassie: Video games huh?
Danny: Yeah.
Cassie: You're shirt's on backwards.
Danny: (looks at it then at her) maybe you're eyes are just backwards
Cassie: Claire get out of the closet.
Danny: Claire? Claire left remember.
Cassie: I wasn't born yesterday Daniel.
Danny: No seriously Claire isn't here.
Cassie: Claire im going to give you ten seconds to put clothes on and get out of the closet.
Claire: (sighs)
-ten seconds later-
Claire: (comes out)
Cassie: You come with me. (grabs her arm)
Danny: MOM! (follows her)
Cassie: Aidan talk some sense into your son.
Aidan: What'd he do?
Cassie: Ask him. (leaves with Claire)
Claire: Let go of me! (tries to get out her grip)
Cassie: (stops walking and grabs Claire's other wrist) Stop.
Claire: You have no right to touch me!
Cassie: I have EVERY right to touch you!
Claire: IN WHICH WAYS!
Cassie: WAYS YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! NOW COME ON! (keeps walking)

Claire: WHO CARES MY MOM DIDN'T DATE ANY OF THE GUYS SHE SLEPT WITH AND NEITHER DID CASSIE SO WHY SHOULD I!?
Melanie: BECAUSE I SAY SO!
Claire: UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (goes upstairs and slams her door)
Melanie: AND YOU CAN FORGET THAT CAMERA I WAS GOING TO GET YOU! (looks at Aaron) I want her door taken away, and get her tv off the wall.
Aaron: Don't you think thats a little harsh Mel?
Melanie: JUST DO IT!
Aaron: Now?
Melanie (takes a deep breath) Yes, Aaron, now.
Aaron: Oh okay. (gets up)
Melanie: (looks at Cassie)
Cassie: Exactly like her mother.
Melanie: I don't want her to be like that.
Cassie: You can't change a person.
Melanie: I know.
Cassie: And knowing her, she isn't going to change.
Melanie: (sighs) I know.

Claire: Im going over Danny's.
Melanie: Be home for dinner.
Claire: Yeah okay. (grabs her jacket and goes around the corner to Danny's house)
Cassie: (sitting on the porch swing with Aidan)
Claire: (smiles at them) aww.
Aidan: Hey Claire here to see Danny?
Claire: Yes sir.
Aidan: He's in his room.
Claire: Alrighty thank you. (goes inside)
Cassie: (cuddles up next to him) I love you.
Aidan: (puts his arm around her) I love you too.. how come you didn't say anything to her?
Cassie: (shrugs) She's kinda weird.
Aidan: Why?
Cassie: I don't know there's just something about her.
Aidan: Is that why you don't want her to be with Danny?
Cassie: Yeah.
Aidan: Oh.. isn't she living with Melanie?
Cassie: Yeah.. thats Andrea's daughter.
Aidan: (looks down at her) You're kidding.
Cassie: No, im not. She's just like her too.
Aidan: What do you mean?
Cassie: Gorgeous, can have any guy with the snap of her fingers, though she choose's not to, not many friends, quiet/shy but most importantly, dangerous.
Aidan: Sounds a lot like you.
Cassie: Yeah well, Andy and I had a lot in common.
Aidan: You and Andrea were the same person, only difference was that you were far more dangerous than her, though you knew it and you have this little sweet girl look and can get away with anything, and the bad thing is, is that you know it.
Cassie: (smiles) right about that.
Aidan: (kisses her head)
(with Danny & Claire)
Danny: So basically you want me, to help you solve a murder case that can only get us killed.
Claire: Exactly.
Danny: You're out of your mind.
Claire: Danny come on!
Danny: You're going to put yourself in a really dangerous position and may not ever be able to get out of it, look at your mom she's stuck like that for the rest of her life.
Claire: Im already in danger. If we figure it out and get proof we can tell the police and my mom will be safe again.
Danny: Your mom obviously doesn't want the police to know, for whatever reason.
Claire: I find it a bit embarrassing that they speak of this case in school and mention my moms name in and out, why do you think I don't have friends!
Danny: Hey in my defense I knew that you were her daughter and still talked to you.
Claire: Come on Danny, please?
Danny: Even if I said yes, where would we start?
Claire: Learn more about the case, duh.
Danny: From who?
Claire: The smartest teacher in the school.
Danny: Which would be?
Claire: That teacher that you think is hot- she teaches law.
Danny: Fine, im in.
Claire: Really?
Danny: Yeah.
Claire: Okay but you can't tell anyone.
Danny: Of course.
Claire: (smiles at him)
Danny: (kisses her)
(with Marissa)
Marissa: (shaking, goes to Danny's room) Danny where's mom?
Danny: Umm.. I don't know.
Claire: She's outside with your dad.
Marissa: Hey Claire, and thanks.
Claire: No problem.
Marissa: (jogs downstairs and goes outside)
Cassie: (looks at her) Hey sweetie.
Marissa: Mom I don't feel good.
Cassie: Whats wrong?
Marissa: Im shaking and I feel like im about to pass out.
Aidan: Yeah your really pale.
Cassie: Did you do your insulin injection?
Marissa: (nods her head)
Cassie: You probably put too much, come here. (takes her hand and goes inside)
Marissa: Am I going to be okay?
Cassie: Have I ever let anything happen to you?
Marissa: (shakes her head)
Cassie: Then? Here eat these. (hands her a handful of life savers) not all of them though
Marissa: (nods her head and puts some in her mouth)
Cassie: Go sit on the sofa and watch tv..
Marissa: Thats it?
Cassie: What did you expect?
Marissa: I don't know.
Cassie: I can alway take you to the doctors office.
Marissa: No, no im okay. (goes to the sofa)
Aidan: (sits next to her) What did mom tell you?
Marissa: She just made me eat candy.
Aidan: (looks at Cassie) You could have just given her fruit juice..
Cassie: I could have, except you didn't buy me any.
Aidan: Oh yeah.
Marissa: Mom it isn't working.
Cassie: Give it some time. (sits next her)
Marissa: I feel dizzy
Cassie: Yeah thats a side-effect. Don't worry. How much did you put?
Marissa: I don't know I can't remember.
Cassie: (sighs) Try to be a little more careful next time. Babe move so she can lay down.
Aidan: (gets up and goes to the kitchen)
Marissa: (lays down)
Cassie: Tell me if it gets worse.
(with Aaron & Melanie)
Melanie: (knocks on the door) Aaron..
Aaron: (ignores her)
Melanie: (walks in) Aaron please understand.
Aaron: I don't want him in our lives.
Melanie: But Aaron!
Aaron: I don't.
Melanie: He doesn't have to be in ours, but he's going to be in Mary's.
Aaron: Who the hell is Mary!?
Melanie: (points to her stomach)
Aaron: You already picked a name?
Melanie: I've always liked that name.
Aaron: What if it's a boy?
Melanie: It;s not.
Aaron: How do you know?
Melanie: Because I say it's not.
Aaron: Whatever Melanie. The only way he can be in ''Mary's'' life is if he is in yours first. Which makes him in mine.
Melanie: He's a good guy Aaron.
Aaron: He abused of you!
Melanie: He was drunk!
Aaron: (rubs his eyes) What does that prove to you?
Melanie: Oh come on like you've never been drunk before.
Aaron: We're not talking about me.
Melanie: (tears in her eyes) Please Aaron, help me get through this, let me call him.
Aaron: I already told you do whatever you want/
Melanie: I can't do it knowing you don't want me to. Please.
Aaron: I want to meet him.
Melanie: What are you my father?
Aaron: No, but im your husband.
Melanie: (runs and hugs him) I love you.
Aaron: (holds onto her) I love you more.
(At Cassie's)
Cassie: Babe im gonna go check up on Danny.
Aidan: K..
Cassie: (goes to his room) -door locked- Thats weird.. (knocks on the door) Danny?
Claire: Oh shit.
Danny: Shh.. she'll leave. (kisses her)
Cassie: (keeps knocking) Danny!
Danny: Oh my gosh mother. Go hide.
Claire: (runs to his closet)
Danny: (gets dressed)
Cassie: Danny are you okay!?
Danny: (opens up the door) Yeah, im fine.
Cassie: I haven't seen you since you woke me up. what are you up to?
Danny: Um nothing just video games.
Cassie: Video games huh?
Danny: Yeah.
Cassie: You're shirt's on backwards.
Danny: (looks at it then at her) maybe you're eyes are just backwards
Cassie: Claire get out of the closet.
Danny: Claire? Claire left remember.
Cassie: I wasn't born yesterday Daniel.
Danny: No seriously Claire isn't here.
Cassie: Claire im going to give you ten seconds to put clothes on and get out of the closet.
Claire: (sighs)
-ten seconds later-
Claire: (comes out)
Cassie: You come with me. (grabs her arm)
Danny: MOM! (follows her)
Cassie: Aidan talk some sense into your son.
Aidan: What'd he do?
Cassie: Ask him. (leaves with Claire)
Claire: Let go of me! (tries to get out her grip)
Cassie: (stops walking and grabs Claire's other wrist) Stop.
Claire: You have no right to touch me!
Cassie: I have EVERY right to touch you!
Claire: IN WHICH WAYS!
Cassie: WAYS YOU WOULDN'T UNDERSTAND! NOW COME ON! (keeps walking)
Claire: No, no don't take me to Melanie please!
Cassie: (doesn't say anything and keeps walking)
(at Melanie's)
Melanie: You what!?
Claire: We were just trying to have fun!
Melanie: YOU DON'T DO THOSE KIND OF THINGS FOR FUN!
Claire: YOU DID!
Melanie: THIS ISN'T INVOLVING MYSELF! YOU'RE GROUNDED THREE MONTHS.

Claire: WHO CARES MY MOM DIDN'T DATE ANY OF THE GUYS SHE SLEPT WITH AND NEITHER DID CASSIE SO WHY SHOULD I!?
Melanie: BECAUSE I SAY SO!
Claire: UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!! (goes upstairs and slams her door)
Melanie: AND YOU CAN FORGET THAT CAMERA I WAS GOING TO GET YOU! (looks at Aaron) I want her door taken away, and get her tv off the wall.
Aaron: Don't you think thats a little harsh Mel?
Melanie: JUST DO IT!
Aaron: Now?

Aaron: Oh okay. (gets up)
Melanie: (looks at Cassie)
Cassie: Exactly like her mother.
Melanie: I don't want her to be like that.

(continued from part 17)
Melanie: um.. no? I didn’t say that.
Claire: You just said that.
Melanie: No I said that he’s a chef and works for your mom.
Claire: Im not stupid.
Melanie: You can’t say anything Claire you’re not supposed to know.
Claire: She lied to me?
Melanie: For your protection.
Claire: What’s that supposed to mean?
Melanie: Nothing.. nothing.
Claire: (crosses her arms) I want to know, right now.
Melanie: Your mom asked me not to tell you, so im not.
Claire: So, what you’re just going to keep keeping things from me!?
Melanie: Thats up to your mom to decide. Please don’t tell her you know anything.
Claire: (goes to her room and slams the door)
Melanie: (looks at Aaron) Good job Aaron, good job.
Aaron: I didn’t know she was standing there!
Melanie: (rubs her head) Im in so much trouble.
Aaron: She’s not going to find out.
Melanie: (looks at her cell phone) She’s not gonna find out huh? CLAIRE!!!!!!
Claire: (runs to her room) What!
Melanie: DID YOU JUST CALL YOUR MOM?
Claire: (looks down and doesn’t say anything)
Melanie: I ASKED YOU NOT TO, DO YOU KNOW HOW MUCH TROUBLE IM IN!
Aaron: Babe, babe calm down.
Melanie: (answers her phone and goes downstairs)
Andrea: What the fuck is your problem?
Melanie: Im sorry Andy it just slipped.
Andrea: I sent her over there because she was in danger, now that she knows she’s probably freaking out!
Melanie: I know I know im sorry! I didn’t tell her about that part though.
Andrea: I swear to got Melanie if anything happens to her--
Melanie: If anything happens to her what? What are you going to do? You didn’t even want her remember? Im the one that begged you to keep her.
Andrea: I love her more than anything in the world, you better hope nothing happens to her.
Melanie: No Andrea, you don’t. If you really did love her as much as I love her you would have quit that job as soon as you found out you were pregnant. You knew this would come.
Andrea: I didn’t!
Melanie: You know what, instead of praying for her at night and keeping her safe, im gonna pray for you Andrea. Because really, you’re the one thats in danger at this second. So you better hope those people don’t find you.
Andrea: You don’t understand, Melanie. The only way they can get to me is through her!
Melanie: What?
Andrea: They’re looking for my weakest point, once they have Claire, they’ll now I’ll give everything I have left of him up.
Melanie: So why can’t you just do that!
Andrea: This is my job Melanie! I can’t just quit.
Melanie: Why can’t you just give them what they want?
Andrea: Because it’s the only thing I have left.
Melanie: You’re wrong. The only thing you have left of him is Claire, goodnight Andrea.
Andrea: Melanie!
Melanie: What?
Andrea: Don’t say anything to her.
Melanie: I wont. (hangs up and goes to Claire’s room)
Claire: (looks at her)
Melanie: Im sorry for yelling.
Claire: It’s okay.
Melanie: And im really sorry about everything else
Claire: What do you mean?
Melanie: Like you having to move here and stuff, leaving all your friends behind.. it must be hard.
Claire: Yeah.. so hard..
Melanie: Ever since you’ve been here we really haven’t had time to talk, so im sorry about that. It’s either work or interviews or photo shoots.. but they all sound like excuses.
Claire: I understand.
Melanie: Point is if you need to talk about something then I’ll try my best okay?
Claire: Yeah.. sure..
Melanie: (starts to leave)
Claire: aunt Mel?
Melanie: Yeah?
Claire: Why did my mom send me down here?
Melanie: I wish I could tell you.
Claire: I know it’s about my dad.
Melanie: Promise not to tell your mom anything?
Claire: (nods her head)
Melanie: Or anyone?
Claire: Yes, I promise.
Melanie: Im serious Claire you cannot tell anyone about this or your mom is in big trouble.
Claire: Okay..
Melanie: (closes the door and sits on the bed next to her) Your dad was a very, very powerful man. Or I guess boy since he was only 16. But um.. him and your mom worked together as partners on this one murder case that has been a mystery for many years now and um.. your mom has the proof of who did it, well your dad did until yeah and she wont give it up which puts not only you in danger, but me and Aaron and everyone.
Claire: But it’s me who the police want.
Melanie: Exactly.
Claire: But I don’t get it.. my mom is an FBI agent don’t they know she has it?
Melanie: Your mom did a lot with the FBI to get where she is now detectives know that she has it, but until someone rats her out about it then they can’t touch her.
Claire: So the whole FBI agency thing know that my mom knows who killed the person?
Melanie: Mostly the men..
Claire: You men she slept with the guys just to keep a secret?
Melanie: Im assuming so.
Claire: I still don’t see where I come in the picture.
Melanie: If the detectives find you, or the person who killed the victim does then they’ll threatened her with you so thats why your here.
Claire: Why would the killer want it?
Melanie: So they can burn the evidence.
Claire: Why wont my mom just give them the tape?
Melanie: I don’t know, she says it’s because it’s the only thing she has left of your dad which isn’t true because clearly you are the only thing left of him but um.. she’s not telling me something.
Claire: Maybe she knows the person who killed the victim and thats why she wont tell anyone.
Melanie: No.. your mom only had Cassie as a friend. And Cassie wouldn’t do that, plus, she lives here she wouldn’t send you some where, where the killer lives.
Claire: Im gonna find out who the killer is, and im gonna tell the police.
Melanie: NO CLAIRE! You can’t do that!!
Claire: Why not! I’ll be safe again, and you and Aaron will be too.
Melanie: You just can’t okay? You’re mom will get in big trouble.
Claire: My mom didn’t do anything wrong. You just said that they don’t know for sure if my mom has the tape or not so how will she get in trouble?
Melanie: Don’t.
Claire: Fine.
Melanie: You promise me.
Claire: Yes.
Melanie: Thank you.
Claire: Wait, aunt Mel.
Melanie: Yeah?
Claire: Do you remember what my dad was like?
Melanie: I was only like 7 when he died.
Claire: What did he look like?
Melanie: He was cute, black hair nice brown eyes, just like you.
Claire: Do you remember his personality?
Melanie: mm.. not much.
Claire: Do you think that.. my mom really loved him?
Melanie: I do, I think that out of all the guys your mom has been with she loved him the most.
Claire: Why him?
Melanie: Because she got you out of it. (kisses her head) Good night, go to sleep.
Claire: Wait wait wait.
Melanie: Yeah?
Claire: Thank you..
Melanie: Your welcome. (goes to her room)
Aaron: Everything fixed?
Melanie: I told her everything/
Aaron: WHAT! ARE YOU INSANE!
Melanie: Relax she’s not going to tell anyone.
Aaron: Right and your going to believe that?
Melanie: There really isn’t a reason not to.
Aaron: (sighs)
Melanie: Lets just go to sleep, I’ve had a long day and im really tired.
Aaron: Sure.
Melanie: (turns off the light and lays in bed).

Claire: She said that she liked it, she said she liked it a lot and that it looks like a professional painting but that it doesn’t show anything.
Cassie: What does that mean?
Danny: The whole point of today’s lesson was to take a picture of something and let it show it’s meaning.
Cassie: How are you supposed to do that, you’re in school.
Danny: Since it’s a senior class during lunch everyone left and came back with their picture.
Cassie: Why did you paint one then?
Claire: Because I don’t have a camera..
Cassie: Oh.. I still don’t see why you didn’t get an A.
Claire: Because I painted a lagoon with trees, and it doesn’t really mean anything or.. anything. (shrugs) She says I think too much and that I should just paint.
Cassie: And she lets you turn in paintings even though it’s a photography class?
Claire: (nods her head) Sometimes I’ll borrow the schools camera and turn in pictures, but the majority is paintings.
Cassie: Why can’t you just buy a camera?
Claire: I um.. I can’t afford it. And I didn’t want to take any of Danny’s..
Cassie: Your aunt is hollywoods most wanted can’t she just buy you one?
Claire: She doesn’t know about this.
Cassie: Why?
Claire: Because she wants me to do something better with my life, she thinks that if I take this class then I’ll want to turn it into a profession, like Danny.
Cassie: Danny isn’t going to be a photographer.
Danny: Why not?
Cassie: Because I say so.
Danny: But I like it.
Cassie: I know you by now Danny.
Danny: (slightly smiles)
Cassie: See. Thats why I get angry with him. He thinks I don’t know what he wants to be.
Danny: Because you don’t.
Cassie: I know you better than you know yourself.
Danny: Then what do I want to be mother?
Cassie: A doctor.
Danny: Damn she’s good.
Cassie: (looks at Claire) Anyways, if thats what you want to do with your life then you need to tell her and have her understand. You can’t be what she wants you to be just to make her happy. Your happiness comes first.
Claire: (smiles)
Cassie: And by the way you’re already painting I wouldn’t be surprised if you made it all the way through.
Claire: Thanks.
Cassie: You should really tell your aunt and show her. But anyways, I have to go fold clothes
Claire: Need help?
Cassie: If you want.
Danny: No she’s okay Claire come on lets go upstairs.
Claire: But I feel bad.
Danny: She’s fine, come on. (takes her hand and goes upstairs) Oh hey dad I didn’t know you were here.
Aidan: Yeah I was asleep.
Danny: This is Claire.
Aidan: Im Aidan.
Claire: Can I call you Aidan or Mr. Gray?
Aidan: Mr. Gray makes me sound old, Aidan.
Claire: (laughs) Okay, nice to meet you.
Aidan: Likewise, you staying for dinner?
Claire: mhmm, if thats okay with you.
Aidan: Of course. I’ll call you two down when it’s ready.
Claire: Okay.
Danny: (goes to his room)
Claire: (follows him in) I like him.
Danny: Yeah he’s cool.
Claire: Thats your real dad right?
Danny: Yeah, yeah.
Claire: You don’t look like him.
Danny: I don’t look much like my mom either.
Claire: True. Where did the curls come from?
Danny: I have no clue.
Claire: Thats weird.
Danny: Whatever. (sits on the bed) So what do you want to do?
Claire: (shrugs and sits next to him)
Danny: Do you play video games?
Claire: I used to play with my friends little brother.
Danny: What kind?
Claire: Any (looks by his tv) But I’ve never played with a playstation before.
Danny: Do you want to?
Claire: Sure, sounds like fun.
Danny: Pick a game.
Claire: (looks through them) This one.
Danny: A girl playing call of duty?
Claire: I’ve played it on Xbox, can’t be too hard.
Danny: Thats cause you’ve never gone against the king.
Claire: Yeah okay just put the game in.
(20 minutes later)
Danny: I lost.
Claire: Yep.
Danny: I can’t believe I lost.
Claire: I told you I’ve played before.
Danny: You don’t understand, I don’t loose.
Claire: But.. you just did.
Danny: I know.. to a girl.
Claire: (laughs) Yeah I know thats the best part.
Danny: I can’t believe I lost.
Claire: Lets just keep this our little secret.
Danny: You better not tell anyone.
Claire: (laughs) I wont.
Danny: You better not black mail me either.
Claire: I wont, I wont.
(20 minutes later)
Claire: (laying down next to Danny on his bed) Do you usually lay down with friends when they come over your house?
Danny: No, you’re special.
Claire: Oh really? What makes me so special?
Danny: You’re cute, and funny, and have a bubbly personality, and your shy, and cute, and funny.
Claire: You said that already.
Danny: Sorry, I forgot.
Claire: (smiles)
Danny: (leans in to kiss her)
Cassie: (walks in) Foods rea--
Claire: (backs away and looks at him)
Danny: (sighs)
Claire: Food’s ready.
Danny: Yeah.
(When Melanie gets home)
Aaron: (sitting on the sofa watching T.V)
Melanie: (puts her keys and purse on the counter)
Aaron: (doesn’t say anything)
Melanie: (looking in the fridge)
Aaron: Your food is in the microwave.
Melanie: Oh. (opens the microwave to see what it is, then closes it and warms it up)
Aaron: (flipping through the channels)
Melanie: (goes upstairs to change, then comes back down in her PJs, takes out the food and sits on the table)
Aaron: (looks at her, then back at the tv)
(10 minutes later)
Melanie: (playing around with the food)
Aaron: (still watching tv)
Melanie: How long is this going to keep going?
Aaron: How long is what going to keep going?
Melanie: This whole, I hate Melanie lets not talk to her thing.
Aaron: I don’t hate you.
Melanie: Yeah well you don’t like me either.
Aaron: You’re right, I love you.
Melanie: Then why wont you talk to me?
Aaron: Im just trying to process everything Mel.
Melanie: It’s not my fault that this happened.
Aaron: You kissed him Melanie, I know you kissed him.
Melanie: No I didn’t Aaron I swear. He kissed me.
Aaron: So everything was his fault, none of it was yours?
Melanie: Exactly.
Aaron: It’s your fault too Mel.
Melanie: It’s not my fault, I told you what really happened. How many times do we have to go over this? He kissed me, I pushed him away he grabbed me, and I don’t want to talk about the rest. How is any of that my fault?
Aaron: You shouldn’t have gone.
Melanie: I went for a drink. I talked to you right before I got out of the car. I didn’t know he’d be there. I didn’t know that I’d have to have this conversation with you right now.
Aaron: How much did you drink?
Melanie: I just had a beer, Aaron. (gets up and goes to the room)
Aaron: (follows her and grabs her wrist) Im sorry.
Melanie: It really bothers me that you actually think that this had something to do with me.
Aaron: It just seems weird. You don’t do that in the middle of a bar.
Melanie: Okay, you want every detail, this is what happened. I had my drink, after I had to go use the restroom, he was coming out of the guys bathroom and noticed me, so he followed me in. And thats what happened.
Aaron: And you didn’t tell anyone.
Melanie: I already told you I wasn’t going to tell anyone, he threatened me!
Aaron: Which is why you tell the police.
Melanie: He’s an FBI agent, Aaron. No one would believe me.
Aaron: Your sister is head of that.
Melanie: Especially my sister!
Claire: My mom is an FBI agent..?
The other Barbie is still out of town.
So your stuck with me for a bit(:
Anyways, yesterday I forgot to tell you that Justin was the father of the baby... or is he? Haha, jk, he is, I think. Idk im just doing what Barbie tells me to do.

(the next morning)
Claire: Downstairs eating breakfast waiting for Danny.
Melanie: (running down the stairs)
Claire: (looks at her) Whats the rush?
Melanie: Late for a meeting, I have to go, have a blessed day. (kisses her head and leaves).
Claire: K..
Aaron: (walking down) Did she take my car?
Claire: (shrugs) Thats Danny, I’ll see you later.

Claire: (bites her lip)
Gracie: Get to work class. (walks up to her) Danny can I speak with her alone?
Danny: Yeah, (walks away)
Gracie: What was that all about?
Claire: Im sorry.
Gracie: You’re one of my best students you’re supposed to be setting an example and you’ve been doing this every class.
Claire: I know I just needed to talk to him.
Gracie: About?
Claire: Just stuff.
Gracie: Do I need to call your aunt and tell her about this?
Claire: No, I’ll be in major trouble.
Gracie: Then?
Claire: Im sorry, I’ll pay attention.
Gracie: Don’t let it happen again. (goes to her desk).
Claire: (sighs)
Danny: (walks back to her) Everything okay?
Claire: Yeah. Do you know what we’re supposed to be doing?
Danny: Work on our showcases.
Claire: (nods her head and goes towards the art section)
(with Melanie)
Melanie: (going to her office)
Adam: (assistant) She’s so stupid and all she does is ask me for coffee then she yells at me when im not doing anything, what the hell am I supposed to do if you’re not telling me anything? Ever since she gained her fame she’s been a total termagant.
Chad: (Employee) She looks like a fat ugly german chick with a big ass
(everyone quiets down)
Chad: She’s right behind me isn’t she?
Melanie: In my office, the both of you right now.
(they both follow her into her office)
Melanie: What the hell is your problem?
Adam: (doesn’t say anything)
Melanie: What gives you the balls to stand up there and insult me right in front of my face?
Chad: (doesn’t say anything)
Melanie: Are you going to say something or just stand there?
Adam: We’re sorry. It’s just that we were best friends Melanie, what happened?
Melanie: I got a life, thats what happened. And you know I think I’ve been a pretty damn good boss that pays you more than enough for just getting me coffee.
Adam: You’re right, im sorry.
Melanie: Four extra hours for you, you may leave.
Adam: It’s my little sisters birthday today.
Melanie: Then tomorrow.
Adam: Thank you.
Melanie: And Adam,
Adam: Yes?
Melanie: Can you get me coffee?
Adam: Of course. (leaves)
Melanie: (looks at Chad) I can fire you.
Chad: I was just joking.
Melanie: You hurt my feelings.
Chad: Like you didn’t hurt mine?
Melanie: Oh please your a man grow a pair.
Chad: You told the WHOLE building im still a virgin and now everyone thinks im gay. Im not gay.
Melanie: Yes, but you made my 6th grade school picture life size and put it outside the building for the whole city to see.
Chad: (doesn’t say anything)
Melanie: Im cutting your sick days and taking away your vacation time.
Chad: Thats not fair I was joking around Melanie come on I already have that vacation paid for!
Melanie: (tears in her eyes) YOU CALLED ME UGLY
Chad: You know you’re not, everyone knows your not, you were ranked #1. for most beautiful woman in peoples magazine, it was a joke. Please don’t take away my vacation.
Melanie: Just leave, don’t come back.
Chad: Are you firing me?
Melanie: No, just leave for the day.
Chad: Do I still get paid?
Melanie: Leave!
Chad: (sighs and walks out).
Adam: (walks in) Here’s your coffee. (puts it on the desk)
Melanie: Thank you Adam.
Adam: You okay.
Melanie: I’ll be fine.
Adam: Need anything else?
Melanie: Can you give those manuscripts to Mr. Greene?
Adam: Yeah sure. (picks them up) thats all?
Melanie: Yes, thank you.
Adam: No problem.

Claire: (shows it to her)
Danny: Isn’t it awesome?
Claire: It’s not that good.
Cassie: This is beautiful, what did you get on it?
Claire: A B
Cassie: Why not an A?
Claire: She said that she liked it, she said she liked it a lot and that it looks like a professional painting but that it doesn’t show anything.
Cassie: What does that mean?

So I wanted to surprise her. hehe(: Im gonna try my best, though I can never compare to her skills. XD.
(Three weeks later)
Melanie: (sitting in the doctors office with Claire and Aaron, reading).
Claire: Why do you look so nervous?
Aaron: She hates the doctors.
Claire: But she’s just getting an ultra-sound done.
Aaron: I know.
Claire: (looks at her) Are you seriously scared of getting an ultra-sound done?
Melanie: Can you just be quiet?
Claire: Gosh sorry.
Aaron: It’s okay Claire, she’s a little irritable today.
Melanie: I am not.
Cassie: (opens up the door) Mel..
Melanie: And you know I can speak for myself.
Aaron: Okay im sorry.
Melanie: Yeah you better be.
Cassie: Melanie.
Melanie: (looks up) ugh.
Aaron: Come on. (takes her hand and walks in)
Claire: (walking in behind them)
Cassie: Two people at a time sweetie pie.
Claire: But thats not fair I want to see the baby.
Cassie: Maybe next time.
Claire: But I know you!
Cassie: Barely.
Claire: Well you know me, apparently so just let me in.
Cassie: We don’t fit, okay? She’ll be out in a second.
Claire: ugh. (goes back to the waiting room).
(moments later)
Danny: (walks in) I hate this place.
Claire: (smiles at him) Hey.
Danny: Hey what are you doing here?
Claire: I came with my aunt.
Danny: That explains the cameras outside.
Claire: (looks out) Do they ever leave her alone?
Danny: (shrugs) I barely ever see her.
Claire: Oh.
Danny: So you left early to come here?
Claire: Anything to get out of math class, and plus I really wanted to see my cousin.
Danny: So what happened?
Claire: Your mom didn’t let me in.
Danny: Oh your uncle is here too?
Claire: mhmm..
Danny: So they’re not fighting anymore?
Claire: Well they barely speak to each other.
Danny: Guess he’s pretty upset.
Claire: Yeah..
Danny: I would be too.
Claire: I really hope they get through this and stay together. I mean, it can be his.. right?
Danny: (shrugs) I don’t know?
Claire: Lets just hope for the best and see what happens.
Danny: Thats a good way to look at it.
Claire: (closes her eyes) Gosh the flash is killing me, why do they have it on when the sun is out?
Danny: I have no idea, and whats stupid is that they’re taking pictures when she’s not even here. Come on lets go to my moms office. (gets up)
Claire: (follows him) Holly cow this is a nice office.
Danny: Yeah I guess..
Claire: Can I sit?
Danny: Of couse, take a seat.

Danny: Green Lantern is better.
Claire: Right? If I saw that one I would have totally gotten it.
Danny: I’ll buy you one, they have a whole bunch of different cool ones at a place down the road from our block, I’ll take you some day.
Claire: (smiles) That’d be nice.
(In the other room)
Melanie: (crying) I don’t want to do this.
Cassie: Mel it’s just an ultra-sound, im not going to hurt you, I promise.
Melanie: You promise?
Cassie: Yes, yes I promise now lay back.
Melanie: (carefully lays back).
Aaron: (holds her hand)
Melanie: (smiles a little and looks at him)
Aaron: I can’t believe you cried.
Melanie: Shut up.
Cassie: You know you’re the first person who has ever cried.
Melanie: (rolls her eyes)
Cassie: And im your sister.
Aaron: You guys are sisters?
Cassie: Pretty much. I raised her.
Melanie: (slightly kicks her leg)
Cassie: (holds her leg down) What’s with that?
Melanie: You didn’t tell me about that part.
Cassie: I didn’t think I’d have to..
Melanie: You should mention that.
Cassie: Well it’s kinda obvious.
Melanie: Whatever.
Cassie: (puts the gel on her stomach)
Melanie: (sighs and looks up)
Aaron: (kisses her head then sits on the chair by the door)
Cassie: So you guys worked this thing out?
Melanie: I don’t wanna talk about it.
Cassie: Well there’s the baby.
Melanie: (looks towards the screen)
Cassie: I can’t really tell what it is..
Melanie: It’s okay I don’t want to know anyway.
Cassie: Well I can tell you what I think it is, kinda.
Melanie: Don’t worry about it, im okay.
Cassie: (sighs) Most women are happy on this day..
Melanie: I’d be ecstatic if it were Aaron’s kid.
Cassie: Wanna hear the heart beat?
Melanie: Sure.
(with Claire)
Claire: Okay so Spiderman vs. Wolverine
Danny: Spiderman all the way.
Claire: You’re crazy.
Danny: I love spiderman!
Claire: Yeah me too but Wolverine is like super cool! He’s like really strong and stuff.

Danny: Yeah but he’s awesome he’s got like all those powers!
Claire: Whatever, red power ranger vs the hulk.
Danny: Red power ranger!

Danny: See you. (gets up)
Cassie: What did you do?
Danny: Nothing, I told you we were studying.
Cassie: You better not be with her.
Danny: Why not? She’s a nice girl.
Cassie: It’s complicated.
(at the house with Melanie)
Claire: (watching tv with her aunt on the sofa)
Aaron: (making dinner)
Melanie: (looks at Claire) So.. how’s school?
Claire: (shrugs) Fine.
Melanie: Oh.. are you mad?
Claire: Should there be a reason?
Melanie: No I just figured.. you said that you really wanted to go and you didn’t even get to see him/her.
Claire: (shrugs) Maybe another time.
Melanie: What did Danny say?
Claire: About?
Melanie: (shrugs) in general
Claire: Nothing we were just talking.
Melanie: Oh.. do you like him?
Claire: (shrugs) Yeah he’s cute.
Melanie: I know he’s cute.. but do you like him?
Claire: I guess yeah, a little.
Melanie: aww
Claire: I didn’t say I’d go out with him.
Melanie: but if he asked you, you would.
Claire: (shrugs) Maybe. Lets just focus on now.
Aaron: Dinner is done. Help me set the table.
(after dinner with Aaron & Mel)
Melanie: (laying down watching tv)
Aaron: Can we please change it?
Melanie: I like this show.
Aaron: I don’t.
Melanie: No.
Aaron: (sighs)
Melanie: (lowers it) Are you still mad? You know the truth now.. you know it wasn’t my fault.
Aaron: It’s just weird being around knowing you’re pregnant with someone else’s kid.
Melanie: Well if you raise it then it’s more yours than his.
Aaron: You’re not even considering adoption huh?
Melanie: Of course not. Im perfectly stable. I can take care of this child.
Aaron: What about the dad? What about when he wants to see him/her? I don’t want him over. I want him arrested.
Melanie: I think it’s too late for that. We’ll just see okay?
Aaron: Whatever.
lol :D.

Claire: (looks at her) Are you seriously scared of getting an ultra-sound done?
Melanie: Can you just be quiet?
Claire: Gosh sorry.
Aaron: It’s okay Claire, she’s a little irritable today.
Melanie: I am not.
Cassie: (opens up the door) Mel..
Melanie: And you know I can speak for myself.
Aaron: Okay im sorry.
Melanie: Yeah you better be.
Cassie: Melanie.
Melanie: (looks up) ugh.
Aaron: Come on. (takes her hand and walks in)
Claire: (walking in behind them)
Cassie: Two people at a time sweetie pie.
Claire: But thats not fair I want to see the baby.
Cassie: Maybe next time.
Claire: But I know you!
Cassie: Barely.
Claire: Well you know me, apparently so just let me in.
Cassie: We don’t fit, okay? She’ll be out in a second.
Claire: ugh. (goes back to the waiting room).
(moments later)
Danny: (walks in) I hate this place.
Claire: (smiles at him) Hey.
Danny: Hey what are you doing here?
Claire: I came with my aunt.
Danny: That explains the cameras outside.
Claire: (looks out) Do they ever leave her alone?
Danny: (shrugs) I barely ever see her.
Claire: Oh.
Danny: So you left early to come here?
Claire: Anything to get out of math class, and plus I really wanted to see my cousin.
Danny: So what happened?
Claire: Your mom didn’t let me in.
Danny: Oh your uncle is here too?
Claire: mhmm..
Danny: So they’re not fighting anymore?
Claire: Well they barely speak to each other.
Danny: Guess he’s pretty upset.
Claire: Yeah..
Danny: I would be too.
Claire: I really hope they get through this and stay together. I mean, it can be his.. right?
Danny: (shrugs) I don’t know?
Claire: Lets just hope for the best and see what happens.
Danny: Thats a good way to look at it.
Claire: (closes her eyes) Gosh the flash is killing me, why do they have it on when the sun is out?
Danny: I have no idea, and whats stupid is that they’re taking pictures when she’s not even here. Come on lets go to my moms office. (gets up)
Claire: (follows him) Holly cow this is a nice office.
Danny: Yeah I guess..
Claire: Can I sit?
Danny: Of couse, take a seat.
Claire: (sits down and looks around)
Danny: (sits down and takes out his folder)
Claire: Green Lantern folder, sick!
Danny: (smiles slightly) Thanks.
Claire: I have the Superman one.
Danny: Green Lantern is better.
Claire: Right? If I saw that one I would have totally gotten it.
Danny: I’ll buy you one, they have a whole bunch of different cool ones at a place down the road from our block, I’ll take you some day.
Claire: (smiles) That’d be nice.
(In the other room)
Melanie: (crying) I don’t want to do this.
Cassie: Mel it’s just an ultra-sound, im not going to hurt you, I promise.
Melanie: You promise?
Cassie: Yes, yes I promise now lay back.
Melanie: (carefully lays back).
Aaron: (holds her hand)
Melanie: (smiles a little and looks at him)
Aaron: I can’t believe you cried.
Melanie: Shut up.
Cassie: You know you’re the first person who has ever cried.
Melanie: (rolls her eyes)
Cassie: And im your sister.
Aaron: You guys are sisters?
Cassie: Pretty much. I raised her.
Melanie: (slightly kicks her leg)
Cassie: (holds her leg down) What’s with that?
Melanie: You didn’t tell me about that part.
Cassie: I didn’t think I’d have to..
Melanie: You should mention that.
Cassie: Well it’s kinda obvious.
Melanie: Whatever.
Cassie: (puts the gel on her stomach)
Melanie: (sighs and looks up)
Aaron: (kisses her head then sits on the chair by the door)
Cassie: So you guys worked this thing out?
Melanie: I don’t wanna talk about it.
Cassie: Well there’s the baby.
Melanie: (looks towards the screen)
Cassie: I can’t really tell what it is..
Melanie: It’s okay I don’t want to know anyway.
Cassie: Well I can tell you what I think it is, kinda.
Melanie: Don’t worry about it, im okay.
Cassie: (sighs) Most women are happy on this day..
Melanie: I’d be ecstatic if it were Aaron’s kid.
Cassie: Wanna hear the heart beat?
Melanie: Sure.
(with Claire)
Claire: Okay so Spiderman vs. Wolverine
Danny: Spiderman all the way.
Claire: You’re crazy.
Danny: I love spiderman!
Claire: Yeah me too but Wolverine is like super cool! He’s like really strong and stuff.
Danny: Whatever, my turn. Dead Pool VS. Victor Creed.
Claire: Victor Creed, Dead Pool is annoying as hell.
Danny: Yeah but he’s awesome he’s got like all those powers!
Claire: Whatever, red power ranger vs the hulk.
Danny: Red power ranger!
Claire: Up top! (high-fives him)
Cassie: (walks in the office) What are you doing in here?
Danny: Were studying..
Cassie: Not in my office I have work.
Danny: Where am I supposed to go?
Cassie: Front desk. And Claire, your aunt is outside waiting for you.
Claire: Okay.. I’ll see you around Danny.
Danny: See you. (gets up)
Cassie: What did you do?
Danny: Nothing, I told you we were studying.
Cassie: You better not be with her.
Danny: Why not? She’s a nice girl.
Cassie: It’s complicated.
(at the house with Melanie)
Claire: (watching tv with her aunt on the sofa)
Aaron: (making dinner)
Melanie: (looks at Claire) So.. how’s school?
Claire: (shrugs) Fine.
Melanie: Oh.. are you mad?
Claire: Should there be a reason?
Melanie: No I just figured.. you said that you really wanted to go and you didn’t even get to see him/her.
Claire: (shrugs) Maybe another time.
Melanie: What did Danny say?
Claire: About?
Melanie: (shrugs) in general
Claire: Nothing we were just talking.
Melanie: Oh.. do you like him?
Claire: (shrugs) Yeah he’s cute.
Melanie: I know he’s cute.. but do you like him?
Claire: I guess yeah, a little.
Melanie: aww
Claire: I didn’t say I’d go out with him.
Melanie: but if he asked you, you would.
Claire: (shrugs) Maybe. Lets just focus on now.
Aaron: Dinner is done. Help me set the table.
(after dinner with Aaron & Mel)
Melanie: (laying down watching tv)
Aaron: Can we please change it?
Melanie: I like this show.
Aaron: I don’t.
Melanie: No.
Aaron: (sighs)
Melanie: (lowers it) Are you still mad? You know the truth now.. you know it wasn’t my fault.
Aaron: It’s just weird being around knowing you’re pregnant with someone else’s kid.
Melanie: Well if you raise it then it’s more yours than his.
Aaron: You’re not even considering adoption huh?
Melanie: Of course not. Im perfectly stable. I can take care of this child.
Aaron: What about the dad? What about when he wants to see him/her? I don’t want him over. I want him arrested.
Melanie: I think it’s too late for that. We’ll just see okay?
Aaron: Whatever.

Claire: (sighs and sits up) How do you know it’s his anyhow?
Melanie: Three months ago Aaron went on some business trip, and thats when all of this happened, and im about three months.
Claire: You could be five months and look like three. You haven’t even been to your caretaker so why do you just assume these things?
Melanie: Because I just know, okay?
Claire: right before the trip, did you guys.. do anything?
Melanie: I can’t remember. (wipes away her tears)
Claire: Well if you did then there’s a chance it’s his.
Melanie: Thats not likely.
Claire: You’re such a pessimist.
Melanie: Im sorry, this is just hard for me.
Claire: (sighs) Go to sleep.
Melanie: I can’t..
Claire: Try.
(later that morning)
Aaron: (knocks on the door)

Aaron: More than anything in the world.
Melanie: Then don’t leave.
Aaron: It would hurt a lot less if I did, because with time, I know im going to be okay. And if you loved me as much as you say you do, you wouldn’t have done something so injudicious.
Melanie: He was wasted, okay? I thought It would only be a kiss but he kept on. I couldn’t get out of his grip. He told me if I told anyone that I would regret it. I got scared so I just left that part out. Please understand Aaron.

sorry for the long wait!
Later that day I heard a soft knock on my room door, unwillingly I got up and opened it to her beautiful face. I miss waking up to that in the morning. She'd put a smile on my face everyday and thats all she would had to do to make me keep loving her.
''Do you need anything?'' I asked, walking back to the bed grabbing the beer that stood on the nightstand. ''Do you ever stop drinking?'' She asked, taking it from me putting it out of my reach. I just rolled my eyes at her and grabbed a pencil and a sheet of paper. ''Still writing those stupid songs I see.'' My gosh this woman, ''What did you skip kindigarden or something'?'' She looked at me with a frown and put the paper back down. ''What do you want?'' I asked, already annoyed. She shrugged and began touching things and knocking them over, purposely. ''Stop Stella that isn't funny.'' She giggled then began to pick everything up but stopped when her eyes laid on my favorite photo of us. Quickly she took it and began to open the picture frame to take it out. ''No, no what are you doin'!'' Why does she have touch everything, touch, touch, touch, touch. Jesus! ''Don't keep this.'' She said, still trying to take it out. I ran up to her now fighting for the frame. ''It's my picture, let it go.'' Whimpering she shook her head ''You let it go!'' Glaring at her I let it go, and so did she. ''ETHAN!!!!'' Tears fell from her eyes then I looked down. The glass had shattered all over her foot, for being stubborn and touching my things when I asked her not to. I picked her up carefully and gently laid her on the bed trying to ignore her whimpers and sobs. ''See what happens when you touch other people's things.'' She wiped away her tears and ignored my comment.
After all the shouting I finally got the little pieces of glass out. Thank God. Stella's always been the weak type, you know the person who can never open a new bottle of anything or lift any box because it's ''too heavy'' but really she had just done her nails and doesn't want to ruin them, and God forbid she had a drop of sweat coming down her forehead. But I never cared, because every time I asked her to do something it would end up like this so she just did whatever she wanted. Most of the time it was going out and spending all my money on stupid things. Whenever I'd walk into the house there would always be something new but it never bothered me, because it's Stella. The most beautiful women in the whole world, at least in my eyes. ''Ethan..'' she whispered. ''hmm?'' I murmured, I was too busy wrapping up her foot (to stop the bleeding) to look at her. ''Where's that old man that would always go to the lake?'' I sighed and put her foot on top of the pillow, since she was a princess and all, at least thought she was. I was afraid she'd ask me that once she didn't see him. ''He died.'' She nodded her head and got under the covers as if it were her bed. ''You do know this is /my/ bed, right?'' She looked at me with those begging eyes and puckered her lips, ''Just for tonight, please?'' I sighed and just walked out. ''Wait what are you doing!'' She shouted. ''Leaving, your pretty familiar with the gesture.'' She sighed and closed her eyes again, making herself comfortable. I have a feeling this wasn't just going to be one night.
A little while after she feel asleep I walked down to the basement where I stored my piano and the rest of my music. I flicked the light switch on and walked over to the piano, put my hands in my pockets and just looked at it. I remember when I used to sing Stella to sleep, it used to make me happy but now, I play with sorrow and it was her fault. ''It's cold down here.'' I turned my head startled. ''You scared me.'' She walked down the steps pushing me out of her way. ''Got ants in your pants?'' I managed to smile I always seemed to like her sense of humor, when it wasn't sarcasm that is. ''Your supposed to be sleeping'' She plugged in the piano and turned it on, patting the chair for me to sit with her. ''What are you my mother? Come sit.'' Quickly I made my way over, sitting next to her studying the keys. ''Write any new songs lately?'' ''None that you would like.'' ''Humor me.'' I shook my head and began to walk out. I could sense the frown that was upon her face then I knew she was following me ''Ethan we um.. we really need to talk.'' That was never a good sign. I turned around facing her and put a fake smile on my face. ''About what darling?'' She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.. boy this wasn't gonna be good. ''This is serious!'' I sighed and wiped the smile off my face pretending like I actually cared of what she had to say to me. ''What?'' She took my hand and walked me to my bedroom then sat me down. ''Stella I don't have time for this quit plain' games!'' ''Bad news never has good timing..'' Of course, why would she have anything good to say? ''What is it Stella?'' I saw tears form in her eyes and in a couple of seconds she could barely speak. ''I was pregnant.. with your baby when I left…. and I.. I killed it.''

I'm the real shy type but I have friends. I'd rather stay at home and write then go out and shop. I'm very confusing, and no one ever knows what im thinking. I'll speak my mind only when it's called for. When I get out of high school I want to study to be a screenwriter, director, and major to be an author. My obsession are quotes. My favorite quote is not really a quote, it's a letter from one of my favorite movies ''Practical Magic.'' My favorite movie is Miss Congeniality. I would like a tattoo (when im older) but my mom would kill me, so I don't have any intentions of getting one. I love the big bang theory, it's my favorite show. I think Leonard is cute. My celebrity crush is Ryan Reynolds, but I love Chris Pine. Baseball is my favorite sport. The Florida Marlins are my favorite team. The only team from New York I like are the Giants. (Thats football). I write stories and I get nervous when someone reads it. Im really hard to figure out, but I can be your best friend, so PM me(:
