PART 2G
[Arrive back in Tulsa]
[Gettles Beshores, Luke, Jesse awaiting their arrival.  All get off plane.  Rachel is half asleep and swaying as she walks.  Walker and Diana are fighting over who gets to hold Ember.  The Marshalls are all screaming at each other.  All the little kids are whining about how long the plane ride was.  Isaac and Delia are fighting over whether or not the guy on he plane was hitting on Delia.  Zac is holding up Rachel.  Taylor is resisting the urge to smack Isaac for just being so damn annoying.  Karen and Rob are discussing what's gonna happen to Ember]
TORI: [runs up to Taylor and hugs him]  I missed you!
TAYLOR:  Huh?  Oh, yeah, I missed you too
DIANA:  Aww, how cute
TAYLOR: Yeah, yeah, so cute
RACHEL:  [slurred speech]  Hi Tori--howryou?  I'm jus fine
TORI:  What's up with her?
ZAC:  She's either tired or drugged. . .we're not sure
TORI: Drugged
RACHEL: [slurred]  Nope, nope.  I'm good--yup--jus good.  S'not bad--s'good.  What was we talkin' 'bout?  [falls over.  Taylor catches her.]
TAYLOR: Geez, Rae, You're gonna kill yourself

TAYLOR:  You'll be okay
RACHEL:  I think I'm gonna puke
TAYLOR:  How pleasant
ZAC:  Here, I'll take her [Taylor gives her to Zac]  [Rachel pukes on Zac]
RACHEL:  Sorry
ZAC:  No--no--that's alright.  Someone takes her  [Delia takes Rachel]
DELIA:  C'mon honey, we're gonna go have you sit down and rest.
RACHEL:  Rest is good
ZAC:  Mom--can we go?
DIANA:  Zachary--what happened
ZAC:  Rachel isn't feeling well
DIANA:  You just let that girl walk all over you, don't you.
ZAC:  Yeah, but. . .but. . .I don't care--cause. . .cause. . .
DIANA:  Zachary, your rambling
ZAC:  Sorry
DIANA:  Okay--lets go home so Zac can change out of the vomit
AVERY:  Ah ha--Zaccy smells
ZAC:  Shut up
ZOE:  Eww. . .you do smell!
JESSICA:  Good job Rachel
ZAC:  Can we go. . .please!
DIANA:  Yes, Zachary, now stop whining
ZAC:  Would you stop calling me Zachary
ZOE:  Its your name--duh
ZAC:  It makes me feel like I'm 3.
KAREN:  Well, I guess we should take Rachel home too and give her something to settle her stomach
TAYLOR:  yeah, before she pukes on the rest of us
RACHEL:  Shut up, Taylor
[all collect children and leave.] [That night at Heverlings.  Rachel is in bed with the flu]
DELIA:  [sticks head into Rachel's room]  Rae--you have a visitor.
RACHEL:  Zaccy?
DELIA:  Close but no  [Taylor comes in, Delia leaves]
TAYLOR:  Hey
RACHEL:  Hey.  I wouldn't come too close, I gots the flu.
TAYLOR:  Mom sent me over with chicken soup.  Zac would have come but he's taking his 5th shower today.
RACHEL:  Ooops
TAYLOR:  Here is the soup  [she scrunches up her nose.  she groans]  Okay, we can save that for later.  [sets it down on the dresser]
RACHEL:  [smiles weakly]  Okay  [Taylor sits on her bed]
TAYLOR:  So, how do you feel
RACHEL:  Well, my head feels like someone is driving nails through it, my throat feels like sand paper, my nose is like a freaking faucet--which reminds me, can you hand me the tissues [he hands her a box of Kleenex]  Thank you.  [blows nose]  Oh--and my stomach is kinda flip flopping around and I'm sick of it
TAYLOR:  Geez, going for some kind of record?
RACHEL:  Yup--I'm gonna try to puke on as many people as possible
TAYLOR:  Yes, that's always been my dream.  To have Rachel Heverling be so kind as to puke on me.
RACHEL:  [sarcastic]  Oh, I love you, too
TAYLOR:  Rae, you look like shit
RACHEL:  And I feel like shit, too
TAYLOR:  I'm so jealous
RACHEL:  I'm sure
TAYLOR: I should go
RACHEL:  Bye, Tay
TAYLOR:  Bye
[Next day, Morgan and Tori are visiting Rachel.  Phone rings]
RACHEL:  [weakly] Can someone get that?
MORGAN: Its him!
RACHEL:  Morgan, its okay.
TORI:  [picks up phone]  Hello [Taylor on other end freaks]
TAYLOR: Tori!  Hi!
TORI:  Tay?  Why are you calling here?
TAYLOR:  I was asked to check up on Rae.  How is she?
TORI:  Better.  Her fever is down.  Wanna talk to her?
TAYLOR:  Um. . .yeah  [Tori hands phone to Rachel]
RACHEL:  Hello?
TAYLOR:  Hello sweetheart
RACHEL:  [trying to sound annoyed]  You again
TAYLOR:  Are you pissed at me or putting on an act for Tori
RACHEL:  yes
TAYLOR:  Okay--so, this is just an act
RACHEL:  [extremely annoyed]  yes
TAYLOR: I love you
RACHEL:  I know
TAYLOR:  How are you?
RACHEL:  Still puking--but better
TAYLOR:  How appetizing
RACHEL:  I know
TAYLOR:  I'd come over tonight and check up on you, but Tori and I have a date.  Zac will be over, though.  I think my mom is coming too.
RACHEL:  My Zaccy boy?  Yippie skippy!
TAYLOR:  Riight.
RACHEL:  What?
TAYLOR:  Nothing.  I gotta go. bye
RACHEL:  Buh byes
[That afternoon, Tori calls Taylor]
TORI:  Hey, Tay, I'm gonna have to cancel our date.  I'm not feeling well.  I might have what Rae's got so don't bother to come over
TAYLOR:  Oh, okay.  Well, I hope you feel better, sweetie
TORI:  Thanks.  Bye
TAYLOR:  Bye  [hang up]
TORI:  [calls John]
JOHN:  Hello?
TORI:  Hey, I'm not busy tonight anymore--why don't you come over
JOHN:  Okay, and we can. . .
TORI:  Maybe. . .[at Tori's house that night]
JOHN:  Tori--
TORI:  Yeah?
JOHN:  We have the house all to ourselves, right
TORI:  [smiles]  Yes. What exactly are you getting at?
JOHN:  You should know.  What we did last time
TORI:  Wasn't once enough.  Relationships aren't all about sex.
JOHN:  Well, if you don't want to, that's okay with me
TORI:  I'm starting to feel like Rachel
JOHN:  [puts his arm around her] Who's Rachel?
TORI:  My friend.  She's a player to put it nicely
JOHN:  Ahh. . .[Tori lays her head on John's shoulder]
TORI:  Yeah, but she's nice
JOHN:  I'm sure she is  [John kisses Tori and they start to make out]
[Heverlings.  Rachel is still sick with a slight fever and a box of Kleenex]
ZAC:  Hey babe
RACHEL:  Hi
ZAC:  You don't look too good
RACHEL:  I don't feel too good.
ZAC:  How are you?
RACHEL:  Good, but Ember is driving me nuts. I have the biggest migraine and she just keeps on yelling.
ZAC:  She is such a beautiful little girl.  Guys better watch out.  She's gonna grow up to be a heartbreaker.
RACHEL:  She has your eyes
ZAC:  Yeah.  Hey, Rae. . .
RACHEL:  What?
ZAC:  I'm kinda glad we aren't dating right now.  I really think we need this time to establish a trusting relationship and one that is more about the want to be with each other and a more emotional relationship than a physical one.  I want it to be more about knowing each other mentally and for what the other person really is.  In other words, I want to be with Ember and you, not your body, to put it bluntly
RACHEL:  I want that too, Zac.  I've made so many mistakes and I want them to stop, but I don't know how.  I don't want everything to be physical.  I feel like I'm below dirt.
ZAC:  I'm always here for you
RACHEL:  I know.  I don't understand why, but I know.
ZAC:  Good.  Listen, I couldn't stay long, but I really wanted to see how you were.  I gotta go.  I love you.
RACHEL:  I love you, too.
ZAC:  I would kiss you goodbye, but I fear getting the flu from you and then end up all stuck in bed coughing, puking and blowing my nose.  How do you do it?
RACHEL:  I really don't have a choice.
ZAC:  [nods] Well, I better go.
RACHEL:  Okay, bye hun.
ZAC:  See ya  [leaves] [Few days later, Taylor is at the Heverlings.  No one is there but Taylor and Rachel.  They are asleep together on Rachel's bed.  Taylor opens his eyes]
TAYLOR:  You awake?
RACHEL:  No
TAYLOR:  ha ha.  Well you better wake up
RACHEL:  Why?
TAYLOR:  Cause anyone could just walk in and find us here
RACHEL:  That didn't stop you while you were making out with me
TAYLOR:  Yes, well, you know.  Hey baby?
RACHEL:  Huh?
TAYLOR:  Why are we doing this?  Meeting just so we can make out with each other.  Its happening all the time.  Rae, this is too weird  me.  And I know you're experienced, which makes it weirder.
RACHEL:  You were a virgin?
TAYLOR:  You couldn't tell?
RACHEL:  No--I wish I were.  I don't know why I keep doing this stuff.  I guess I just want someone to love me.  I don't know--I'm really screwed up.
TAYLOR:  I love you, Zac loves you. . .
RACHEL:  I know, and I love you both, but I wish I didn't sleep with every guy that I love
TAYLOR:  I can understand that
RACHEL:  Taylor, I'm 16 and look at what I've done with my life.  I don't expect people to feel sorry  me, but I can't help but be disappointed in myself.  And especially  what I've done to your brother.
TAYLOR:  Rae, there is nothing wrong with your life.  Zac will get over it.  And you've got so much going  you
RACHEL: Oh yeah? Like what?
TAYLOR:  You are so smart, you have good people skills, You're incredibly beautiful. you know when you should take responsibility. . .
RACHEL:  Oh, I've got great people skills--look at my friends:  Zac, you, Dan--
TAYLOR:  Morgan, Tori, Delia is one of your best friends
RACHEL:  Yeah--I can tell her almost anything--except  this
TAYLOR:  That's because this shouldn't be happening
RACHEL:  But it is
TAYLOR:  Rae, we can't keep doing this.  Someone is bound to find out
RACHEL:  Well, we'll just have to take that chance.  Maybe we'll get on Springer this time
TAYLOR:  nah--you'd have to sleep with Ike, too.  Then we'll qualify
RACHEL:  Sounds good to me!
TAYLOR:  Rae!
RACHEL:  I was just joking.
TAYLOR:  [looks at the clock and jumps up]  Oh no
RACHEL:  What?
TAYLOR:  I gotta go.  I'm late
RACHEL:   what?
TAYLOR: Date with Tori.  Gotta go.  [runs out door] [Phone rings]
RACHEL:  Hello?  [unrecognizable crying on other end]  Who is this?
TORI:  Tay stood me up!  Rae, you're his friend.  Is there someone else?
RACHEL:  Someone else?
TORI:  Another girl!
RACHEL:  Tori, I don't know.  I really can't talk now.  I'll call you later.  Bye hun.
TORI:  bye  [calls John]
JOHN:  Hello?
TORI:  Tay stood me up!
JOHN: Good--then we can get together.  I mean, its not like we aren't now, but then we can be exclusive.  Its not like we haven't slept together.
TORI:  John, a relationship is not just about sex.  Geez.  [knock at door]  Oh God, I think Tay's here.  Gotta go. [Hangs up and answers door]
TAYLOR:  Sorry I'm late
TORI:  That's okay--come one in.  I though we could stay here instead of going out.
TAYLOR:  Sounds good
TORI:  Oh--and no one is home, either.  [Tori leads him into the living room.  They watch some TV and then start to make out.  Taylor's hand comes up Tori's back and up her shirt]
TORI:  [out of breath} Tay. . .
TAYLOR:  [also out of breath]  Yeah, Rae?
TORI:  [stops dead in her tracks and pushes him away]  What did you call me?
TAYLOR:  Tori
TORI:  No, you called me Rae. What's going on?
TAYLOR:  Nothing. . .Rae is with Zac
TORI:  It wouldn't be the first time she cheated, plus Rachel is single.  Why were you late?
TAYLOR:  Cause I got held up
TORI: Why?  Where were you?  [Taylor stays silent.  Tori picks up the phone.]
RACHEL:  Hullo?  [Tori puts it on speaker.  silences Taylor]
TORI:  Rae! [makes herself cry]
RACHEL:  Tori, what's wrong!?
TORI:  Tay still isn't here!
RACHEL:  He's not?
TORI:  No--do you know where he was?  [Tay goes to talk but Tori puts her hand on his mouth]
RACHEL:  Well, he was over here, but he left a while ago cause he said that you two had a date.    [Taylor slaps his ehead.  Tori gets an angry look]
TORI:  That's what I thought!
RACHEL:  What?
TORI:  What's going on between you two?
RACHEL:  Nothing
TORI:  Then why did Taylor just call me Rae while we were making out?  [silence on the phone]  Uh-huh.
RACHEL:  But you said. . .[Tori lets Taylor go]
TAYLOR:  Hi Rae.
RACHEL:  Oh no--I've been conned
TORI:  Well, I guess its a good thing I've been seeing someone else
TAYLOR:  What?
RACHEL:  You're bluffing
TORI:  Nope.  Name's John Saw--I met him while you were in New York.
RACHEL:  Oh--by the way, the show is on tomorrow
TORI:  Goodie
TAYLOR:  Did you sleep with him?
TORI:  Did you sleep with her?  Wait--dumb question
TAYLOR:  That was uncalled  and tasteless
TORI:  But true.  Yes, I did sleep with John, once.
TAYLOR:  Yeah, okay, I slept with Rae. . .
TORI:  Once?  Twice?
TAYLOR:  Once.  In New York
TORI:  So, you were with her just bee you came over here, huh?
RACHEL:  Uh, yeah
TORI:  That's just nasty
TAYLOR:  Tori, you cheated on me, too.  I don't see how that makes you any better.
TORI:  Maybe not better, but at least I'm not a whore.
TAYLOR:  Rae isn't a whore
RACHEL:  Yes I am
TAYLOR:  Rae, meet me over at my house
TORI:  Why, so you two can have sex again?
TAYLOR:  Tori, no!
RACHEL:  When?
TAYLOR:  A.S.A.P.
RACHEL: Okay, I'll be over  [hangs up]
TAYLOR:  Come on, Tori.  We're going to my house
[At Hansons.]
TAYLOR: Where's Zac?
ISAAC: I dunno, why
TAYLOR:  Is he home?
ISAAC:  Should be
TAYLOR:  [walks into kitchen]  [Tori stays in living room, too angry to speak]  Mom, where is Zac?
DIANA:  Upstairs--bedroom
TAYLOR:  Okay [walks to bedroom. knocks]
ZAC:  Come in.  [Taylor walks in]  Why did you knock?  Its your room, too.
TAYLOR:  Yeah, I know.  Come with me.
ZAC:  Why?
TAYLOR:  Just do it.
ZAC:  Okay  [follows him downstairs] [As they walk into living room, Rachel knocks.  Taylor answers door.  She comes in and sits.]
TORI:  [sarcastic]  Make yourself at home.  [Delia walks in from the bathroom]
DELIA:  Hey, Rae.
RACHEL:  Hi, Delia
TAYLOR:  We, meaning Zac, Tori, Rachel and I need to talk.  Delia, Isaac--you're welcome to stay if you like.  [Isaac, Delia look at each other.  Tori sits with a determined look on her face.  Rachel is about to cry.  Zac is confused.] First, we need to establish where we're coming from bee a fight breaks out.  Zac--
ZAC:  Yeah?
TAYLOR:  What do you believe the status of your relationship with Rachel to be?
ZAC:  Well, we're just friends.  She and I can both dat whoever we please.  We might get together eventually, but right now, we aren't.
TAYLOR:  Rachel, do you agree with Zac
RACHEL:  Yeah, I guess
TAYLOR:  Is that a yes or a no
RACHEL:  Yes, I agree
TAYLOR:  Okay--and Tori, when I first came over to your house, what did you believe our status to be
TORI:  We were dating--exclusively
TAYLOR:  We never said exclusively.
TORI:  But we were
TAYLOR:  Yeah, okay, I agree.  Rachel--what do you believe our relationship to be
RACHEL:  We were friends.  I'm single.
TAYLOR:  I agree.  Now Tori?  You and Zac?
TORI:  Friends
ZAC:  Agree.
TAYLOR:  Okay, who has been sleeping with who?  Tori?  You and me?
TORI:  No.  We were not.

TORI:  Yeah--uh, John. John Saw.
ISAAC:  I know that kid!
DELIA:  Shh. . .
TAYLOR:  Anyway, Zac, you and Rachel?  I mean recently.  Besides Ember.
ZAC:  Nope--Ember was the only time.
TAYLOR:  Anyone else?
ZAC:  Nope
RACHEL:  Agreed   [sighs]
TAYLOR:  Okay, now Rachel. . .have we been sleeping together?
RACHEL:  [swallows hard and licks lips]  Yeah.  We have.
DELIA:  Wow. . .
ZAC:  You can say that again
TAYLOR:  Zac, listen, I never meant to hurt you.  And like I said, that was all me just establishing where we were coming from.
ZAC:  Yeah--I know.  I'm just a little in shock.  And I guess I can't get mad at you because Rachel and I weren't really together.
RACHEL:  Zac, please understand that I love you and I want you, but I'm just so confused right now.  And I love Taylor, too.
ZAC:  Rachel, I understand what its like to feel torn.  Its only happened to ma a thousand times.  We can talk about this later.  I just need time to think.
RACHEL:  [nods]  Yeah, okay.  But I think I need to take a leave of absence--I guess its a good thing  me, huh, Delia?
DELIA: Yeah, but its only temporary
RACHEL:  I still need it
ISAAC: What?
DELIA:  We're moving  a little while
ISAAC:  What!?

ZAC:  I agree
TAYLOR:  Are you mad at me
ZAC:  No.  A little hurt and I feel sort of betrayed, but I'm not mad.  Although, I probably should be, huh?
TAYLOR:  Probably?
ZAC:  But me and Rae weren't together.  And I love you, you're my brother.
TAYLOR:  Zac, you have no idea about how much better that made me feel
TORI:  Oh--how sweet
ZAC:  I take it you're angry
TORI:  Of course I'm angry!  My boyfriend cheated on me.
ISAAC: But you cheated on him too
TORI:  So

DIANA:  Taylor. . .
TAYLOR:  Mom. . .
DIANA:  You cheated on Tori
TAYLOR:  Yeah
DIANA:  With Rachel

CHRIS:  How terrible for you
TAYLOR:  What?  No picture of Rae?

ISAAC:  Oh--to put this nicely, that picture doesn't do her justice
TAYLOR: Justice?!  It makes her look like a damn sheepdog.
ISAAC:  Now, Taylor
TAYLOR:  It does! Rae Is so much prettier than that.
ZAC:  Taylor has a point.  She looks drugged here.
CHRIS:  Probably is
ISAAC:  Chris!  You aren't very nice when the topic of Rachel comes up.
CHRIS:  She is going to ruin your careers
ZAC:  Maybe if you just met her. . .
