Thanks for the reviews! :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

California, rehab, 6 days later

Director: And here is your new room. You'll be sharing with...*looks down at board* Dustin Chamberlain.

Scott: *leaning against wall*

Director: *looks at Scott* Still feeling queasy? *nods* Yeah, there was a lot we needed to clean out from your system.

Scott: *sits on bed*

Director: I know you don't want to be here but it'll start getting better with time.

Scott: *looks down at wrists*

Director: You got pretty violent when you first got here. You don't remember? You had to be restrained for your own safety.

Scott: *shakes head*

Director: *places bag onto bed* Here are your things. We do have some rules you should be aware of. Firstly, females are not allowed in here. If we find out, you'll be on the next bus back to Miami. The idea is to seek help for yourself, not to speed date.

Scott: *nods*

Director: Group meetings are usually announced and you are encouraged to interact with the other patients as long as it's in the common area where staff are present. Do you have any questions?

Scott: *lifts eyes* What if I want to leave?

Director: You're a voluntary patient. But of course our position is to try and get you to stay.

Scott: *lowers head*

Director: If there's anything you need, I'll be in my office. *walks away*

Scott: *lies down on bed*

Dustin: *walks in, stops* Hey. New guy.

Scott: *lifts head*

Dustin: Stay on your own side of the room and we'll get along fine. *extends hand* Dustin. My friends call me Dusty.

Scott: *sits up, grabs Dustin's hand* Finch. *blinks* Scott.

Dustin: Okay weird, but cool. I guess. *walks over to bed* So Finch, what's your story?

Scott: *looks at Dustin* Story.

Dustin: Yeah. Why are you here?

Scott: My ex-wife.

Dustin: *scoffs* Ouch. I guess she's on her way off your Facebook page.

Scott: *rubs eyes*

Dustin: *sits on bed, lights cigarette* You'll get the hang of all this. Withdrawal was a bitch, huh.

Scott: To put it mildly.

Dustin: *holds out cigarette* Smoke?

Scott: No.

Dustin: What was your poison?

Scott: None of your business.

Dustin: Alright, fair enough. It's going to take some time for us to get aquainted. Hey you wouldn't happen to have brought any skin mags?

Scott: *stares at Dustin*

Dustin: *waves hand* Nah, nevermind. *lifts head* Hey Brit!

Brittney: *stops, looks over*

Dustin: Meet the new guy. *slaps Scott's arm* This is Finch. That's my sis, Brittney.

Scott: *looks at Brittney*

Brittney: Ooh a pretty one.

Dustin: He's married. I think.

Scott: ...You two are both here?

Dustin: Yeah. I actually got here first but Brit's a repeat offender.

Brittney: It's more like a summer thing.

Dustin: You got a problem, sis.

Brittney: Mom and Dad think everyone has a problem. Once I appease them long enough, I'll have a heavier bank account.

Scott: *rubs forehead*

Dustin: Why's it always about money with you?

Brittney: Makes the world go 'round.

Dustin: You'll have to excuse my sister, she's slightly dilluted.

Scott: Could you both just...stop talking? My head's killing me. *lies down*

Dustin: See what you did? You broke my new roomie.

Brittney: I think he'll live. See you in group. *walks away*

Dustin: I hate group.

Scott: *covers eyes with arm* Ugh.

Dustin: Hey you don't look so hot. Should I call the nurse?

Scott: Could you please shut the hell up.

Gables Estates, house, 7pm

Lori: *lies back on couch, sighs*

Bob: They'll take good care of him, Lori.

Lori: I hope so.

Bob: *drinks beer*

Lori: Did he say anything to you on the way?

Bob: Not for the first few hours but after that, he got pretty agitated. I was the worst person on the planet, of course.

Lori: Right.

Bob: I truly believe he wanted help.

Lori: ...Didn't seem like it for a long time.

Bob: *places hand on Lori's*

Lori: *looks down at hand*

Bob: *blinks, removes hand* You know what, I should...head home.

Lori: *lifts eyes* Stay.

Bob: *stares at Lori*

Lori: I-I mean you have been for the past few months. You don't have to leave just because Scott's safe.

Bob: *staring at Lori*

Lori: *leans closer, kisses Bob*

Bob: *closes eyes*

Lori: *climbs into Bob's lap*

Bob: *turns head away* No.

Lori: *rolls back onto couch* I-I'm sorry.

Bob: We can't.

Lori: I know.

Bob: We need to um...Scott'll be back to his old self in no time. This is just a bump in the road.

Lori: *nods*

Bob: Not that I don't a-appreciate the...I mean I feel the same way but-

Lori: *looks at Bob* You do?

Bob: This would be wrong.

Lori: What if Scott comes back and-

Bob: Lori, he loves you.

Lori: And if he doesn't?

Bob: What you were seeing wasn't him. I promise you that.

Lori: *nods*

Bob: Maybe in a few months you can visit him. It'll probably be night and day.

Lori: Yeah.

Bob: I'm gonna take off. *stands* Goodnight, Lori.

Lori: How are you this sweet?

Bob: I had a good role model.

Lori: *smirks*

Bob: *walks away*

TBC.................................
 
OOooH! Lori trying to make the Doughnuts with Bobby boy! Hmm! Somehow i don't think Scott would be amused about it! And what happened to Gay Bob? I thought he was all about Josh! I guess he can't make up his mind witch way he want his swing to go!

I see Scott his gonna be having some fun with the roommates sister! they seem to have some good Chem right off the bat! I know he loves to fix his woman right!

Great update Geni!
 
Hey...I don't blame Lori. She's been through a lot. Why can't she get some comfort? Okay, so so what it's with his best friend, and things can get complicated- Lori needs assurance...lol.

I can say how much I love the brother/ sister duo... Dustin, I like already...Brittney, not so much. I can't wait to see how this develops.

Awesome update!
 
Oh my goodness.

Hey Bob, whatever happened to Josh? :lol:

Dustin and Brittney... I just get the feeling that these two are going to be very interesting for Scott's recovery...

I love Tom and Speed working together and aggravating Katie. They're freaking awesome!

I hope Scott can finally get clean for good. I really do.

I love how Steph ended up being a driving force there. She always has a way with her parents, huh? Poor thing, though. *hugs her*

Awesome updates! :D
 
Thanks for the reviews. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

California, rehab, 8am next day

Scott: *banging on window* HEY! I NEED IT!

Nurse: *walks up behind glass* Scott, we've gone over this. This is the psychological part we talked about.

Scott: I DON'T CARE!

Nurse: You need to calm down before speaking with me.

Scott: *slams fist against wall* LET ME IN!

Nurse: *picks up phone, dials*

Scott: *grabs lamp, throws it against glass*

Glass shatters

Nurse: Someone help!

Scott: GIVE IT TO ME, YOU BITCH!

Nurse: *shuts upper door*

Scott: *slamming fists against door*

Director: *runs over, grabs Scott*

Therapist: *runs, tackles Scott*

Scott: ERGH!

Director: I need some more hands!

Patient: *runs over, grabs Scott*

Scott: *struggling*

Patient2: *holds Scott's arm*

Director: Scott, you're not getting anything. So I need you to breathe and remember why you're here.

Scott: Ugh.

Director: Relax, my friend.

Scott: *nods*

Director: Good. Now...some of us are going to let go. I want you to stay still. *looks at patients*

Patients leave

Therapist: *stands*

Director: I want you to slowly sit up. If you make any sudden movements, you're going to get 25 years of army training between you and the floor. Understand?

Scott: Yes.

Director: Sit up.

Scott: *sits up, leans against wall*

Director: I don't ever want to see that in my facility again.

Scott: *lifts eyes*

Director: I know you're feeling a whole bunch of crap that you've been pushing down inside for a long time and yeah it's hard to deal with but we're here to help you deal with it.

Scott: *lowers head*

Director: Come to the group meeting this morning.

Scott: *sigh*

Outside, table

Brittney: *picks up fruit* What was with Gruber in group today? He was so depressing.

Dustin: The guy just lost his ailing mother.

Brittney: I think he's got a little obsession with mommy.

Allison: You're so stupid, Brit.

Brit: Hey! You promised the director that you'd stop saying that about me! We JUST finished discussing this with him!

Scott: *walks over, sits*

Everyone: *looks at Scott*

Scott: *cracks open soda*

Allison: *leans over to Brittney, whispers* Is that the guy who made the nurse cry?

Brittney: *nods*

Allison: What an ass.

Scott: *drinks soda*

Allison: *whispers* I heard he's from Texas.

Brittney: He's not from Texas, he's from Chicago.

Allison: How do you know?

Brittney: No tan.

Allison: Ah.

Brittney: *smiles* Hey new guy!

Scott: *looks at Brittney*

Brittney: How old are you?

Scott: Less than 40, more than 20. And to answer your earlier question, it's not Texas or Chicago.

Brittney: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *drinks soda*

Dustin: I like him.

Allison: Of course you do, you finally have a roomie who showers.

Dustin: Thank God for that.

Scott: Excuse me. *stands, walks away*

Hill, near pool

Scott: *leans against sidebar*

Brittney: *skips over* New guy.

Scott: *looks at Brittney*

Brittney: *smiles, holds out hand* I snuck some benzos.

Scott: *grabs pills, swallows them*

Brittney: *stares at Scott*

Scott: *sighs*

Brittney: Interesting.

Scott: You shouldn't have done that.

Brittney: *smiles* You're welcome.

Scott: *frowns*

Brittney: Hey want to come with me to a party on Rodeo tonight?

Scott: ...We're allowed to leave?

Brittney: Who's gonna know?

Scott: No thank you.

Brittney: I just gave you everything I had.

Scott: That's unfortunate for the both of us, isn't it. *walks away*

Brittney: Wait! You're not gonna tell anyone!

Scott: Yes I am.

Manhattan, APL Financial, 100th floor, 2 weeks later

Telephone rings

Bob: Uh, could you hang on a second? *places phone on table, picks up telephone* Robert Bennett.

Matthew: *walks in* Sir, there's a call for you on lines 1-18.

Bob: *looks at Matthew*

Matthew: They all sound pretty pissed.

Bob: *sigh*

96th floor, boardroom

Bob: Okay people, money is missing.

Everyone: *staring at Bob*

Bob: I want to know how it happened and how many more clients have been affected.

Window shatters

Bob: *turns around*

Executive: Stuff like that's been happening all over the building.

Executive2: Yeah and half the elevators are out of order.

Bob: *sighs, rubs eyes* The whole bloody place is falling apart. Okay. I've got Matthew on the books but I want you guys to check out your branches. Figure out where that money's going.

Executive: Sir, I wanted to bring up something before we left...the computer systems are being upgraded.

Bob: Yeah, and?

Executive: By a Japanese company I've never heard of.

Bob: ...What in the hell is going on here?

Lobby

Bob: *steps off elevator*

Lori: *smiles* Hey!

Bob: *looks at Lori, smiles* What are you doing here?

Lori: I was in town and figured you could use some lunch.

Bob: *laughs* You've definitely read my mind.

Lights flicker

Lori: *lifts head*

Column crumbles, cement crashes through skylight

Receptionist: *screams, runs*

Bob: *lifts head, shoves Lori to the side*

Lori: *falls over* Ugh!

Dust plumes around lobby

Bob: Everyone okay!

Lori: *coughs*

Skylight shatters, glass falls

Lori: *covers head*

People scream

Strobe lights blink; alarms blare

Bob: *grabs Lori's arm*

Lori: *stands*

Bob: Outside.

Sprinklers cut on

Bob: I'll be outside. Go!

Lori: *runs*

Bob: *looks around*

Receptionist: *holding head*

Bob: *runs over, kneels*

Outside

Lori: *wipes cheek, turns around*

Facade collapses

Lori: AH! *runs into street*

Vehicles slam to a halt

Lori: *falls over cab*

Cab driver: *runs over* What's going on?

Lori: *coughs* I don't know.

TBC.....................................
 
I do love how you work! Scotty's making waves in treatment, and Bob's taking the reigns! I think this is going to start a new , interesting arc for everyone:D. I do love How Bob's taking over the company, apparently as it is falling completely apart. He's got some work a head of him , that's for sure. AND...it looks as if he's going to be keeping good company too * wink, wink*

Awesome update!
 
Thanks for the reviews. :adore:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New York, apartment, 5pm

Lori: *leans against kitchen counter* Do they know what happened?

Bob: *opens first-aid kit* There's something structurally wrong with the building so they've closed it off.

Lori: How did that happen?

Bob: *sigh* I tried to get a hold of the contractor but the number's been disconnected. *runs cloth under tap*

Lori: Scott hired a crooked contractor?

Bob: Maybe he didn't know.

Lori: *lifts brow* That doesn't sound like Scott. Safety was his big concern.

Bob: Yeah well I just found out today that someone's been skimming money from a bunch of clients so I'm trying to track about 5 million dollars.

Lori: *blinks*

Bob: Not to mention someone seems to be making decisions without consulting me because I've got this Japanese company pushing their contract on us. There's just a lot of bullshit going on that I need to sort through. I'll tell you, Scott's issues must have started way before Hawaii because the missing money dates back 2 years.

Lori: *lowers eyes*

Bob: *unbuttons shirt* He hadn't been taking care of things at all.

Lori: I got a phone call this afternoon. Scott's been kicked out of the facility.

Bob: *lifts head* What?

Lori: He confessed to getting his hands on some benzodiazepines.

Bob: Oh no. Come on, Scotty. *shakes head, pulls glass from arm*

Lori: You should have gone to the hospital.

Bob: It's nothing.

Lori: Here, let me. *steps forward, picks up cloth*

Bob: Are you okay?

Lori: *lifts eyes* Yeah.

Bob: *wipes Lori's cheek*

Lori: *blinks*

Bob: Dust.

Lori: *lowers head* You didn't have to stay behind. *wraps Bob's arm with gauze*

Bob: Yes I did.

Lori: *sighs, lies head on Bob's chest*

Bob: *blinks* ...*wraps arm around Lori*

Lori: I don't know if I can let him back in. I don't know if I want to wait for something that might never return.

Bob: I want to believe it could happen.

Lori: ...This is not how my life was supposed to turn out. Scott and I were supposed to live happily ever after. I thought I was getting this great guy and wonderful father but...all I really got was damaged goods behind a fake smile. *lets go, steps back* That's what happens when you meet someone in a rehab, I guess. *walks away*

Living room

Lori: *sits on couch*

Bob: *walks over, sits*

Lori: Mind if I stay here for the night?

Bob: My couch is your couch.

Lori: *looks at Bob*

California, rehab, administration

Scott: *sits in chair*

Director: Why do you want back in?

Scott: I need help.

Director: Judging by your previous actions, I find that difficult to believe.

Scott: This, here, is all I have left.

Director: Then you'll need to committ to this program 100%.

Scott: *nods*

Director: This is your last chance.

Scott: I understand that more than you know.

Director: Okay. Welcome back.

TBC.................................
 
It looks as if we've come to a precipice. On the East coast, we have Bob and Lori connecting and mulling over the future and on the West Coast, Scott's pleading for his life. I wonder how all this is going to come together if Scott can get his life together. I figure that it's going to take him some time to get back, so that gives Bob and Lori plenty of time to establish a relationship( which, I'm not against- hey, if someone can love and respect you better than the old one, why not?). I just wonder what happens the day Scott returns, clean and sober?

Something to ponder....

EXCELLENT update!
 
Thanks for the review. :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

New York, apartment, bedroom, 8:30am

Lori: *sigh*

Bob: *kisses Lori's neck*

Lori: *smiles, looks back* Hey.

Bob: *brushes hair from Lori's cheek*

Lori: Do you have to leave for work?

Bob: Why, you have to leave for Miami?

Lori: *smiling* No.

Bob: Then I'm staying right here.

Lori: *stares at Bob* ...You are?

Bob: Yeah. *kisses Lori's cheek*

Lori: *closes eyes*

Bob: You want breakfast?

Lori: *opens eyes* What?

Bob: *smiles* Sustenance.

Lori: ...No.

Bob: *smile fades*

Lori: No, I um...I should get back to Miami.

Bob: Alright.

Lori: I'm sorry. *sits up, grabs clothes*

Bob: *lifts eyes*

Lori: *buttons up shirt*

Bob: This is about Sc-

Lori: Don't.

Bob: It's okay, Lori. I understand.

Lori: *looks at Bob*

Bob: You've got a family with the guy.

Lori: Some family. He's MIA and I'm in bed with his best friend.

Bob: *nods*

Lori: *zips up jeans, stands*

Bob: At least have a cup of coffee.

Lori: *sigh* Okay.

Kitchen

Bob: *pours coffee*

Lori: *crosses arms, looks around*

Bob: *steps over* This doesn't have to be complicated. *holds out cup*

Lori: *grabs cup*

Bob: Doesn't need to go anywhere.

Lori: You're really willing to forget what happened last night?

Bob: *stares at Lori*

Lori: *smirks, lowers head* ...Me neither. *drinks coffee*

Bob: I'll call you.

Lori: I know you will. *places cup on counter*

Bob: Take care.

Lori: *wraps arms around Bob*

Bob: *smirks*

2 minutes later

Bob: Uh...Lori? Weren't you leaving?

Lori: *sigh* I don't want to.

Bob: *smiles* Then don't.

Lori: *lifts head, smiles*

Miami, condo, 10am

Steph: *staring at television*

Speed: *sits*

Steph: *munches on cereal*

Speed: How's breakfast?

Steph: Good.

Speed: How'd you sleep?

Steph: Good.

Speed: If I didn't know better, I'd say you were playing in your room last night instead of sleeping.

Steph: *smirks, eats cereal*

Speed: Stephie...

Steph: *giggles*

Speed: *smirks*

Bedroom

Katie: *walks in*

Dominick: *lifts head, drops scissors*

Katie: ...What are you doing with my clothes?

Dominick: *stares at Katie*

Katie: ERGH! *runs over* YOU LITTLE RAT!

Dominick: *jumps over bed, runs around room*

Katie: *chasing Dominick* YOU'D BETTER MAKE PEACE WITH YOUR GOD!

Speed: *walks over, grabs Dominick*

Dominick: *frowns*

Speed: What's going on?

Katie: The little bastard cut up my clothes!

Dominick: She's a BITCH!

Speed: *looks at Dominick: HEY! *smacks Dominick* Don't you speak to her like that.

Dominick: *starts to cry*

Speed: Go to your room.

Dominick: *runs away*

Katie: *crosses arms*

Speed: Why weren't you watching him?

Katie: I can't take 5 minutes to have a shower?

Speed: Apparently not.

Katie: You could have been watching him.

Speed: He was up here with you.

Katie: That kid is going to be the death of me. I don't know how Lori controls him.

Speed: He's been getting angrier since Scott took off.

Katie: *nods*

Speed: This needs to stop before it gets worse.

Katie: Tell that to Scott.

Speed: *rubs eyes* Lori might be able to do something about the clothes.

Katie: I'll talk to her.

Gables Estates, house, 4pm

Lori: *sits at table, pours tea*

Katie: Where were you this afternoon? I tried calling but you never picked up.

Lori: I was...on a plane back here.

Katie: ...A plane.

Lori: Yeah. I stayed in New York.

Katie: But Scott's in Fresno.

Lori: It wasn't about Scott.

Katie: *blinks*

Lori: What did you want to talk to me about?

Katie: Dominick cut up all my clothes.

Lori: *lifts brow*

Katie: And he called me a bitch.

Lori: ...He's 3.

Katie: And he's inherited his father's temper.

Lori: *nods*

Katie: What do you plan to do about it?

Lori: I'm doing everything I can, okay?

Katie: Obviously not.

Lori: Look, I'll pay for the clothes. And I'll deal with Dominick.

Katie: Yeah, sure you will. Just like you dealt with Scott's problem. *stands, walks away*

Lori: *frowns*

TBC....................................
 
Ah BOOO Katie...BOO! Poor play. But I can understand her anger- but seriously, Lori's at fault for Scotty's behavior? Xp on Katie...

Dominick is just as mischievous as I would thought he'd be. I mean, really, he's Lori and Scott's offspring- this was just begging to happen. It was hysterically hilarious though...:guffaw:

I think Lori's looking for comfort, and she's found it. I just hope things can be worked out if and when Scotty comes back into the picture. I think because of their previous relationship with each other, Scott will understand, Lori will be able to make an informed decision, and Bob will be....well...Bob will be Bob. What a web...Geni, what a web!

Excellent update!
 
Thanks for the review. :)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

California, rehab, backyard, one month later

Scott: *flips steak*

Dustin: This is the most amazing slab of beef I've ever had in my life.

Brittney: Yeah what did you put in these, crack?

Scott: I make my own barbeque sauce.

Dustin: I'll take 10 kilos.

Scott: *smiles*

Brittney: You a chef or something?

Scott: I own an investment company.

Brittney: ...Huh. Well that makes...no sense at all.

Dustin: Do you like doing the whole investment thing?

Scott: *shrugs* It's what I'm good at.

Dustin: You're good at cooking. You could start your own restaurant here in Cali.

Scott: I don't know about that.

Brittney: I'd do blow in your bathroom.

Scott: *looks at Brittney*

Dustin: She kids. *stands, walks over* Maybe this is your ticket our of the life that was bringin' you down. Something to focus your talents.

Scott: *shakes head* I just want to get better and be with my family again.

Dustin: What if they don't want to be with you?

Scott: *looks at Dustin*

Dustin: You said it yourself in group. You hurt a lot of people and burned a lot of bridges. Maybe they moved on.

Scott: My family sent me here. Why would they do that if they didn't think there was a chance I could come back?

Brittney: They probably got sick of your problems. *sips soda*

Scott: *sigh*

Dustin: All I'm sayin' is...you can't expect to go back and pick up where you left off. Coming here doesn't automatically mean all is forgiven.

Scott: *nods*

Brittney: Your wife sounds like a big bitch anyway.

Scott: *lifts eyes*

Brittney: *looks down at nails* If I married a millionaire, you'd not here a peep from me if he liked to wind down with some smack.

Dustin: You never know what you'd do unless you were actually there.

Brittney: I need to marry me a millionaire. Hey Scott, if your wife doesn't want you, can I have you?

Scott: No you may not.

Brittney: Okay what if she found someone else? Like some greasy car salesman.

Dustin: Brit, stop. He's not your type.

Brittney: Sure he is. I can be anyone's type for the right price.

Dustin: That's disgusting.

Scott: *sits at table*

Brittney: *wraps arm around Scott* What's your price?

Scott: *looks at Brittney* I don't pay.

Brittney: *smiles* Oooh, I like that.

Scott: *smirks*

Dustin: Alright, kiddies. Break it up.

Gables Estates, house, 7pm

Bob: *sits at table* You gonna visit him next month?

Lori: *picks at food* I don't know.

Katie: *walks in* LORI!

Lori: *lifts head*

Katie: I brought your sexy underwear b-...Who the hell is that?

Bob: *places napkin on table, stands* Robert Bennett. *extends hand* I believe we met at a benefit last year.

Katie: *grabs Bob's hand* ...Uh huh.

Bob: I work with Scott.

Katie: Oh. Okay, I thought that maybe you were confused and thought that you were Scott. *laughs* Silly me.

Lori: *stands* Mother, we're just having dinner.

Katie: *grabs Lori's arm, whispers* You have that twinkle in your eye, don't lie to me.

Lori: *frowns*

Katie: *looks at Bob* I see you found yourself a little treat.

Bob: I beg your pardon?

Katie: *lets go, walks around table* I see how it is. Scott's in the hole and you two thought this would be a good opportunity to have a secret sexy affair right in the open.

Lori: You've been reading too many romance novels.

Katie: It's the only action I get! Let's trade. I'll take Robert, you can have Speed.

Lori: *frowns* I'm gonna have to say no.

Katie: How dare you run around with some other man. You don't know where he's been! *blinks* Then again, he doesn't know where you've been and you've been around the block, my dear. A used condom is probably more accurate.

Lori: You know what? I don't have to listen to this. *smiles* I am going to take a bubble bath. Excuse me. *walks away*

Bob: *picks up plate, walks away*

Kitchen

Bob: *places plate in sink, turns around*

Katie: I thought you were the gay one.

Bob: *stares at Katie*

Katie: What, the barn door swings both ways now that Scott's gone?

Bob: Lori told me not to indulge you.

Katie: You gonna raise his kids, too?

Bob: No, I-

Katie: Lori's a praying mantis. She ruined Scott and now she's about to do the same to you. RUN! ESCAPE HER CLUTCHES BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE!

Bob: ...Did you suffer some sort of head injury as a child?

Katie: Yeah, why?

Bob: *nods*

Bedroom, 9pm

Lori: *ties housecoat*

Bob: *steps over*

Lori: Ugh, I hope she wasn't too inappropriate.

Bob: Not at all.

Lori: You just have to ignore half the things she says.

Bob: I already have.

Lori: *smirks*

California, rehab, 11pm

Scott: *turns off light, lies down in bed*

Brittney: *sneaks in, crawls into Scott's bed*

Scott: *lifts head* What the hell ar-

Brittney: *covers Scott's mouth* Shh. Meet me in the grotto in 20 minutes. *jumps off bed, runs*

Scott: *lifts brow*

Outside, grotto

Scott: *steps through gate*

Brittney: *smiles*

Scott: What is it?

Brittney: *steps closer*

Scott: *steps back*

Brittney: I don't bite.

Scott: I'm not sure exactly what you want but I came here to tell you that whatever it is, you're not getting it. In case you haven't noticed, this isn't some reality show or nightclub. I'm here to reclaim my life, not destroy it further.

Brittney: You shouldn't take things so seriously.

Scott: Maybe you should. Find out whatever it is in your life that's keeping you from having one. *walks away*

Brittney: *stares blankly*

TBC..................................
 
Ugh...Katie... WOW...just how foul does she have to be? I do like that they didn't indulge her. That and when Bob asked if she had been dropped as a baby. I think I laughed myself silly there:guffaw:

I love how Scott is taking control of his recovery, and how he won't take crap from Brit. I do still love them however...lol.

Excellent update!
 
Thanks for the review! :D

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Gables Estates, house, 9am

Lori: *runs downstairs, opens door*

Speed: *lifts Dominick*

Lori: *looks at Dominick* What the-

Speed: Evidently he escaped and walked all the way to my place.

Lori: *grabs Dominick, wraps arms around him* My God.

Speed: *steps in* Must have taken him all night.

Lori: I didn't hear anything. *places hand on Dominick's head* How does he even know the way?

Speed: He's a smart kid.

Lori: *looks at Dominick* Don't you EVER do that again!

Dominick: *starts to cry*

Lori: *sigh*

Dominick: *reaches to Speed, crying*

Lori: Here.

Speed: *takes Dominick*

Dominick: *wraps arms around Speed's neck*

Speed: I'll go put him upstairs.

Lori: *nods*

20 minutes later

Speed: *walks downstairs*

Lori: *sitting against wall, crying*

Speed: *walks over, kneels* Hey...he's safe. Thankfully, nothing bad happened.

Lori: *crying* I don't know what to do anymore. I can't do this by myself.

Speed: *sits, wraps arm around Lori*

Lori: *burries head in Speed's chest*

Katie: *walks in* What's going on? You said you'd just be a min-...why is she crying?

Speed: *sigh*

Katie: *kneels* What's got you down? Did your tampon leak?

Speed: Stop it.

Katie: Hey. You haven't been there. It's a legitimate concern.

Speed: She's just having a hard time with everything.

Katie: Why? She lives in a mansion and she's banging some rich guy.

Speed: What?

Katie: Oh she didn't tell you about that. Yeah, Scott's best friend. Big CEO man now, very cute. A little gay.

Speed: *looks at Lori*

Lori: *sniffs*

Katie: I wouldn't be surprised if she was back to the dope again.

Lori: *looks at Katie* Go to hell.

Katie: See?

Speed: Katie, go in the other room for a while.

Katie: Give her a drug test. *stands, walks away*

Speed: *shakes head*

Lori: *wipes eyes*

Speed: Everything'll work out, Lori.

Lori: *nods*

Kitchen

Katie: Hey Steph, you gonna get a nose ring?

Steph: *lifts head* Huh?

Katie: Nose ring. It'll make you look badass. OH! We can do it ourselves! Just let me get the thumb tack from my purse. *opens purse*

SOMEONE STOP KATIE! NOW!

Poor Lori though, she's having such a hard time. I hope things start to get better for her....wait...She's involved with Bob. That's gotta be a good thing, I mean it's not going to help that Dominick left the house at night... But...it's something.

:D

Awesome update!
 
OMG! I miss a few updates and the whole damn world is falling apart!

Lol! at Katie ! Shes just getting worse instead of getting any better! Way to go with the leaky Tampon! LMAO! Jeez. Maybe they should have sent the white coats out to get her instead of Scott.

I think it would be totally funny if Scott came home and found Bob & Lori in bed together or actually married or getting married lol! WTF would he do then!

Lori is gonna have to do something with Dominick before he gets into serious trouble at 3 years old. Whats he gonna start doing next knocking off convenience stores in his Huggies. They can call him the baby bandit! lol!

great update Geni!
