62: INT. STUDIO DAY
Meanwhile at the studio...
STEVEN: (working on a track) That's good. Tom, add a little more rhythm to the bass line.
RACHAEL: (storms in) How could you?!
STEVEN: (looks at her confused) What?
RACHAEL: Don't lie to me! I know you've been using again!
STEVEN: Rach, I haven't been using anything! I've been clean for nine fucking months!
RACHAEL: Oh yeah? Then why did Tim call and tell me you've been using again?!
JOE: (they all look at him) Is that true?
STEVEN: No! I swear on my daughters lives I am NOT using again!
JOE: Yeah right. (takes his guitar off his back) I've had it with this shit. I quit! (storms out)
STEVEN: Joe, come on man. (Brad, Tom, Joey and Rachael follow them out) Guys, come on! (sighs)
63: INT. STEVEN'S APARTMENT (BEDROOM) NIGHT
Later that night. Steven and Rachael are having an argument.
STEVEN: WILL YOU JUST LISTEN TO ME?!
RACHAEL: NO! I'M TIRED OF YOUR EXCUSES! I CAN'T BELIEVE I EVER THOUGHT YOU COULD GET CLEAN!
STEVEN: I AM NOT USING!
RACHAEL: BULLSHIT! YOU'RE NOTHING BUT A JUNKIE!
STEVEN: (grabs her arms forcefully) WHAT THE FUCK DID YOU JUST CALL ME?!
MIA: (comes in) Mama?
STEVEN: (instantly lets go of her)
RACHAEL: (turns to Mia) Oh honey, it's okay. Mommy and Daddy were just having a grown-up discussion. (picks her up)
MIA: (looks at Steven) Will you tuck me in Daddy?
RACHAEL: You know what? We're gonna stay at auntie Jayme's tonight.
MIA: But why?
RACHAEL: Daddy just needs some time alone tonight.
MIA: Ok. (reaches out and hugs Steven) Bye-bye Daddy.
STEVEN: Bye my little angel. (kisses her head)
RACHAEL: (leaves with Mia and Liv)
64: INT. JAYME'S APARTMENT NIGHT
Rachael brings the girls to Jayme's place.
RACHAEL: (knocks on the door)
JAYME: (opens the door) Rachael?
RACHAEL: Hi... Can I crash here tonight?
JAYME: Of course, come in.
RACHAEL: (they all come in)
JAYME: What's up? Is something wrong?
RACHAEL: (turns to her and then looks down at Mia) Sweetie, why don't you go lay down in the guestroom? Mama will be there to tuck you in in a minute, ok?
MIA: Ok Mama. (goes into the guestroom)
JAYME: Rach, what's going on?
RACHAEL: (cradling Liv) Steven... Steven's been using again.
JAYME: What? Are you sure?
RACHAEL: Positive, Tim called and told me.
JAYME: But Rach, you don't like Tim.
RACHAEL: I know... But why would he lie about this? Steven and I just had a baby.
JAYME: I guess you have a point... So what's gonna happen now?
RACHAEL: I hate to say it but... I think it's best that we... Get a divorce.
JAYME: That's a big decision.
RACHAEL: I know... But I have to do what's best for the girls. Part of me hates myself for leaving him.
JAYME: Rach, you have nothing to feel bad about, you've given him more than enough chances.
RACHAEL: I know... You're right... (carefully hands Liv to her) Will you put Liv to bed? I need a drink.
JAYME: Now? It's two o'clock in the morning.
RACHAEL: I just need to be alone right now. (kisses Liv's head and leaves)
65: INT. JOE'S APARTMENT NIGHT
Rachael visits Joe.
RACHAEL: (knocks on his door)
JOE: (opens the door) Rach?
RACHAEL: Hi.
JOE: Hey.
RACHAEL: Can I come in?
JOE: Oh, sure. (lets her in)
RACHAEL: Thanks. (comes in)
JOE: Everything okay?
RACHAEL: (sighs) No... Not really... I left Steven.
JOE: (gives her a sympathetic look) Oh Rach...
RACHAEL: I just can't do it anymore Joe, I've given him more than enough chances. I need to do what's best for the girls.
JOE: (sighs) I know... If it makes you feel any better, I'm alone now too.
RACHAEL: What do you mean? Where's Billie?
JOE: (sighs) She left me.
RACHAEL: Why? What happened?
JOE: I don't wanna talk about it.
RACHAEL: (rubs his back gently) Joe, look at me.
JOE: (looks deeply into her eyes) (kisses her passionately)
RACHAEL: (hesitates then kisses him back)
JOE: (caresses her cheek) I'm sorry Rach, if you don't wanna go any further, we don't have to.
RACHAEL: (looks him straight in the eye) Joe... I want you.
JOE: I want you too. (kisses her passionately) (brings her into the bedroom)
66: INT. JOE'S APARTMENT (BEDROOM) NIGHT
Rachael spends the night with Joe.
JOE: (lays her down on the bed) Are you sure you wanna do this?
RACHAEL: Yes... I really wanna do this.
JOE: (kisses her passionately) (slowly caresses her thighs)
RACHAEL: (sighs) Joe... Joe...
JOE: (begins thrusting)
RACHAEL: (sighs with passion)
JOE: (both breathing heavily) How was that?
RACHAEL: Amazing!
JOE: (cuddles up to her and kisses her head)
67: INT. STEVEN'S APARTMENT (BEDROOM) NIGHT
Meanwhile...
STEVEN: Who the fuck does she think she is?! I didn't do shit! (stares undecided at freshly cut lines of cocaine) (sighs) She's already leaving me, might as well numb the pain. (snorts it and passes out)
