Chapter 11
(The next day, Taylor goes into Reagan’s room, opens up the curtains and hands Reagan a cup of coffee and some Advil)
Taylor: (sitting on her bed) Do you remember anything?
Reagan: (sitting up in bed, moans) Not really.
Taylor: Well let’s refresh your memory shall we.
Reagan: Oh no.
Taylor: First you drank way to much…
Reagan: Judging by the size of my headache…that one I knew already.
Taylor: Then you were all over strange guys all night. After that, you and Joe…one of the strange guys…decide that you want to have a make out session so the two of you proceed to leave the house.
Reagan: Oh no.
Taylor: I run after you and try to stop you…were in turn you tell me that I’m just cutting in on your action.
Reagan: (covers face) Oh no.
Taylor: I try to get you to come with me but you won’t listen…so then AJ comes over, picks you up, and throws you in the pool.
Reagan: That’s why I was dreaming about water all night.
Taylor: Not funny. What were you thinking?
Reagan: I don’t know.
Taylor: Fine you think about it…I’m late for work. (Taylor leaves and goes to work)
Reagan: Work. (She picks up the phone, calls work, and calls in sick. Her boss tells her that a band wants her to edit their new video and that the shoot is in LA. She agrees that she’ll do it, hangs up the phone, and goes back to sleep)
(A week later, Reagan and Taylor are on speaking terms but nothing more. Taylor is on her way to France to pitch her ad to a company there. Reagan is on her way to LA to work on editing the video. Reagan shows up at the video shoot and walks in. She meets the director and then she notices Leighanne by the food table. She walks over to her and taps her on the shoulder)
Leighanne: (turns around) Ray? What are you doing here? (Hugs her)
Reagan: Hi. I’m editing the video.
Leighanne: Why didn’t you tell us…we could have come together.
Reagan: I didn’t know it was for them until I got here.
Kristen: (comes over) Reagan…hi what are you doing here? (Hugs her)
Leighanne: She’s the editor.
Reagan: What she said.
Kristen: I didn’t know that the editors go to the shoots?
Reagan: They don’t. I’m unusual like that. I like to go to the shoots or whatever I’m editing and get a feel of what the director really wants. It’s just something I’ve always done.
Kristen: That’s so cool.
Amanda: (coming over to the girls) Hi Reagan.
Reagan: Hi Amanda. How are you?
Amanda: I’m alright. So you’re editing the video?
Reagan: Yup that’s right.
(All the guys come in and go over to the girls)
AJ: Reagan hey what are you doing here?
Leighanne and Kristen: She’s the editor!
Kevin: When they said they were going to get the best editor I guess they meant it.
Reagan: No actually they wanted my colleague Bob, but he got sick so you got me.
Nick: Oh darn.
Reagan: Thank you.
Kevin: (looks at his watch) Time for wardrobe.
Brian: Oh man.
Kevin: Come on Brian.
Brian: See you guys later. (Brian, Leighanne, Kristen, Kevin, and Howie leave)
AJ: (laughing) How you feeling Ray?
Reagan: (looks at AJ) Shut up.
Nick: You’re a funny drunk man.
Reagan: Oh no. Did I say anything to you guys while I was…loopy?
AJ: Nothing to me.
Nick: Well…
Reagan: (hides face) Oh god.
Nick: You came over, grabbed my hand, and then professed your undying love for me.
Reagan: (face still hidden) Oh no. Did I really?
Nick: Yeah it was quite funny. You told me we were going to have 12 babies together.
Reagan: (still hidden) Oh…my…god.
AJ: I heard that part.
Reagan: Don’t tell me I was screaming this at the top of my lungs?
Nick and AJ: (look at each other) Ok we won’t.
Reagan: Oh god…if you’ll excuse me…I’m going to go drown myself in the sink. (Walks away)
Nick: (looks at AJ) She wouldn’t really do that…would she?
AJ: Nahhhhh…(thinks for a second) Reagan?!
(They go over to the bathroom and open the door. Reagan has her head in the sink full of water)
Nick: Reagan?
Reagan: (head underwater) werekjhlwehr
AJ: (pulling her head out of the sink) What are you doing?
Reagan: What?
Nick: (hands her a towel) You haven’t been drinking again have you?
Reagan: Am I telling you how much I love you?
Nick: No.
Reagan: Well then, no I’m not drunk.
