55: INT. BAR NIGHT
Rachael goes to blow off steam.
RACHAEL: (notices Joe at the bar) (goes up to him and taps him on the shoulder) Hey.
JOE: Oh, hey Rach! What are you doing here? I thought you'd be asleep by now, it's late.
RACHAEL: I know, I just felt like having a drink.
JOE: Are you okay? You look a little upset.
RACHAEL: (shakes her head) I'm fine... Steven's just... Being a dick.
JOE: What happened?
RACHAEL: He thinks I made out with Brian May.
JOE: (laughs) What?
RACHAEL: Yeah, it's okay. He just had a little too much to drink.
JOE: (bites his lip and looks down)
RACHAEL: (to herself) "Joe looked as if he had something on his mind, like he wanted to tell me something." What is it?
JOE: Um... Nothing, forget it.
RACHAEL: (shrugs it off) Ok.
JOE: Look, it's getting pretty late, you wanna come up to my room and watch a movie or something?
RACHAEL: Sure, Lord knows I don't wanna be around Steven right now.
JOE: (chuckles) (both leave)
56: INT. HOTEL ROOM NIGHT
Rachael spends the night with Joe.
JOE: (both walk in) Just make yourself comfortable.
RACHAEL: Thanks. (slowly sits down on the bed)
JOE: Are you sure you're okay?
RACHAEL: Yeah... I just don't know what's going on with Steven, he seems different.
JOE: (looks down and hesitates) Rach... There's something I gotta tell you... Yesterday at rehearsal, we caught Steven taking his pain pills.
RACHAEL: Wh-what?
JOE: I guess Tim's been getting them for him.
RACHAEL: (shakes her head and gets up)
JOE: (grabs her hand) Rach, wait. There's nothing you can do right now. You need to get some sleep, we'll figure this out in the morning.
RACHAEL: (tears well up in her eyes) (starts sobbing)
JOE: (looks at her with concern) Rachael, what is it?
RACHAEL: Joe, I'm pregnant.
JOE: (immediately wraps his arms around her and hugs her) Oh Rach, does he know?
RACHAEL: (cries softly into his shoulder) No, I haven't gotten a chance to tell him... How could he do this to me again?!
JOE: (rubs her back gently) He's sick Rach, he needs help.
RACHAEL: I know... I'm just so worried.
JOE: Hey, I'll always be here for you... I love you.
RACHAEL: (looks up at him with tears in her eyes)
JOE: (slowly pulls her closer and kisses her)
RACHAEL: (hesitates) Joe... (to herself) "I knew it was wrong, but in that moment, it felt right. Even though I felt guilty, I didn't pull away."
JOE: (strokes her hair) (slowly lays her down on the bed)
RACHAEL: (gently pushes him away) Joe... We can't.
JOE: (nods in agreement) I know, you're right. (lays down next to her and wraps his arms around her)
RACHAEL: (falls asleep in his arms)
