Chapter 12
(The guys go to work on the video and Reagan stays for a bit and goes back to the hotel. Once she gets there, she goes to her room, takes out her cell phone, and calls France)
Taylor: Taylor Anderson.
Reagan: I’m such an idiot.
Taylor: Don’t tell me you got drunk again?
Reagan: No. The video I’m out here to edit…yeah well it’s the Backstreet boys newest one.
Taylor: That’s so cool.
Reagan: No it’s not. Apparently at the party last week, I was telling Nick how much I love him.
Taylor: (no answer…there’s a thud heard… and then laughing)
Reagan: Hello? Tay? Ok yeah…ha ha…funny.
Taylor: (picks up the phone still laughing) Sorry I dropped the phone.
Reagan: Yeah so I noticed.
Taylor: So did you tell him?
Reagan: Tell him what?
Taylor: That you meant it?
Reagan: Ok first off…I don’t love the boy…I just think…fondly of him. And…secondly…no I tried to drown myself in the sink.
Taylor: (laughing) And I’m missing all of this.
Reagan: Thanks for the support.
Taylor: So how’s everyone else?
Reagan: By everyone you mean…AJ?
Taylor: No…yes.
Reagan: He’s fine. Bitch is here though.
Taylor: Thank god I’m not there.
Reagan: Thanks.
(They talk for a few more minutes and then Taylor goes back to work. A week later, Reagan and Taylor are back at home. They get a day off from work and they decide to have a bonding day. They are sitting by the pool tanning listening to Black and Blue.)
Taylor: Are they looking at us again?
Reagan: (looks over at AJ’s deck) Uh huh. (Waves) HI GUYS!
Taylor: Must they do this everytime we sun tan?
Reagan: Speak for yourself…Nick’s over there…I don’t mind him staring at me.
Taylor: Yeah well if Howie doesn’t stop winking at me…there’s gonna be some problems. (Gets up) I’m gonna get an iced tea…you want anything?
Reagan: Water please.
Taylor: (salutes) Rightio. (She goes inside)
(Meanwhile with the guys, they watch Taylor come back outside with drinks, she then changes the song on the CD player to Answer to our Life, then she sits down and starts to sing.)
Howie: This is better than the playboy channel.
(Nick and AJ just stare at him)
Howie: What?
AJ: You don’t get out much do you?
Howie: What’s that got to do with it?
Nick: (laughing) Nothing man.
(Taylor gets up and dives into the pool)
AJ: Damn she’s hot.
Nick: Just think…you’ve slept with her too.
Amanda: (walks out onto the deck) Excuse me?
Nick: (looks at AJ) Vwoops.
Amanda: I thought you said you slept with someone you didn’t know?
AJ: Well I didn’t know her that well.
Amanda: YOU SLEPT WITH THAT SLUT!?
AJ: She’s not a slut and I’d like you not to call her that.
Amanda: God AJ…I thought that we could get through anything…I mean you told me that you slept with someone else and we got passed it. But you know how I feel about her…how could you?
AJ: I was drunk.
Amanda: THAT’S NO EXCUSE!
Nick: Maybe we should leave.
Howie: Yeah. (The two get up to leave)
Amanda: AND I’M SURE YOU TWO KNEW THIS THE WHOLE TIME DIDN’T YOU?
Nick: Ummmm…no?
Amanda: DON’T FUCKING LIE TO ME.
Howie: It wasn’t our place to tell you Amanda. (Nick and Howie leave)
Amanda: Well then…I guess this means that we are through.
AJ: But you said you were fine with me sleeping with someone else.
Amanda: I was…until I found out that you slept with that SLUT next door. It’s over AJ.
