HOME AND AWAY, EP# 1

LAST TIME, on HOME and AWAY

[MONTAGE]

S.1 - BELLE is standing in the office of the COASTAL NEWS, her editor is speaking with her.

‘If you can’t write the article, then pack your bags.’

‘You don’t get it! This isn’t just another story for me.’

‘Then make up your mind. If you can’t do it, then pack up your things and go.’

S.2 – LEAH knocks over a shoebox from her cupboard and finds old photos of her first husband Vinnie. Inside is a letter. Picking it up, she holds her hand to her mouth.

S.3 – CHARLIE is on the beach at night. ROMAN confronts her.

‘What do you want from me?’

‘Nothing!’ She turns and cries at him. ‘Just leave me alone Roman.’

‘Charlie.’

‘Don’t! Make up your mind! You love Martha, so stop pulling me along because you know how I feel for you Roman. How I’ve always felt about you. If you can’t see what you’re doing to me then just leave!’

FADE TO BLACK

EXT. DINER CARPARK – MORNING.

CHARLIE exits the Diner and makes her way to her car. RUBY is inside listening to her iPod. She takes out her earphones as Charlie enters.

“Creak” by the Panics, is playing in the background.

RUBY

(Surprised)

That was fast! Thanks.

She accepts the coffee from Charlie.

RUBY

So like I was saying before, Annie needed help with this assignment, so we thought we’d better head to the library in Yabbie Creek. You don’t mind?

CHARLIE

I had to go in for the morning anyway.

Charlie begins to reverse, yet is stopped as a motorcyclist cuts her off and stops right beside her in an illegal park. Stepping out of her car, Charlie moves to the motorcyclist.

CHARLIE

(Voice rising)

Excuse me!

The motorcyclist removes his helmet and stands by his bike. Turning to see Charlie walking to him.

CHARLIE

You can’t park here.

MOTORCYCLIST

(Grinning)

Who says?

CHARLIE

I do.

Charlie puts her hands on her hips.

MOTORCYCLIST

And you are?

CHARLIE

(Yells)

I’m a cop! Move now, or else.

The motorcyclist laughs .

MOTOCYCLIST

Touchy! Okay, I’ll move. I never thought I’d live the day I’d see a cop as hot as you though. Must say... Damn!

Charlie rolls her eyes and walks away. Charlie gets back into her car, and pulls on her seatbelt.

RUBY

What was that about?

CHARLIE

Some jerk.

INT. DINER – MORNING

LEAH is shuffling in the kitchen. Her mind is elsewhere. Roman enters.

“The River Between” by Gyroscope is playing in the background.

ROMAN

Are you okay? You seem a little elsewhere this morning.

Leah puts on a brave face.

LEAH

I don’t really know how to feel this morning.

ROMAN

Is something wrong?

LEAH

You can say that.

She turns and looks at him. Smiling even though he knows she’s putting up a brave face. Leah is hesitant to say anything.

ROMAN

If this is about the other night...

LEAH

It’s not! Really. I just...

COLLEEN enters, ranting and raving.

COLLEEN

Honestly! Some of these youngsters don’t have any manners whatsoever!

She slams the dishes into the sink, on the brink of tears.

ROMAN

I’ll rescue this one.

Leah looks down and smiles. She looks as though she is about to cry.

EXT. BEACH – DAY

Belle is sitting by herself, her camera in hand. She is looking rather depressed. Aden walks to her, sitting down beside her.

“The River Between” by Gyroscope fades out.

ADEN

Belle?

Belle turns, she seems out of it.

ADEN

You should be at home, you look out of it.

BELLE

(Yawns)

I feel it. I’ve been up all night writing this story...

ADEN

What’s this one about?

Belle looks away from him, shaking her head. She then stands to leave.

BELLE

I have to go. Call me later.

ADEN

Yeah... sure.

As Belle leaves, Charlie makes her way up to Aden.

CHARLIE

You okay?

ADEN

Yeah. Never better.

He smiles before walking away, leaving Charlie standing by herself. She fixes her hair before walking away.

INT. DINER – DAY

Charlie enters the Diner, as Leah is about to leave. She looks as if she’s on the brink of tears.

CHARLIE

Leah?

LEAH

Just the person I wanted to see! Can I talk to you for a minute?

CHARLIE

(looks at her watch) Yeah.

Of course, what’s up?

INT. DINER – DAY

Charlie and Leah are sitting on the couch in the corner of the Diner.

“Hard to Bear” by the Futureheads is playing in the background.

LEAH

It’s about Vinnie.

CHARLIE

You’re first husband?

Leah nods, handing Charlie the letter she found in the shoebox. Charlie reads it, she then shakes her head.

CHARLIE

When did you find this?

LEAH

Yesterday. I didn’t know what to think at first.

Charlie nods, putting her fingers on her lips, continuing to read the letter.

CHARLIE

Vinnie had a son.

LEAH

I want you to find him.

Charlie looks at her, her eyes widen.

CHARLIE

Leah. I don’t... I can try, but without anything else.

(She emphasises the letter), it may be difficult.

LEAH

Please. I need to find him.

Charlie places her hand on Leah’s, and smiles warmly.

CHARLIE

I’ll do my best.

LEAH

Thank you.

The motorcyclist from the morning enters the Diner.

CHARLIE

Oh, what are you doing here?

LEAH

(Unsure)

Wow... Charlie... you can pick ‘em.

CHARLIE

It’s not like that!

Leah grins. Charlie shakes her head.

CHARLIE

I’ll see what I can do.

She gets up to leave, making her way to the blond motorcyclist, who is now sitting at a table, reading a newspaper.

CHARLIE

I just wanted to say thanks for this morning.

The blond guy looks up at her.

MOTORCYCLIST

That’s alright honey. (Grins)

Charlie places her hand on the table. Her face is red, and angry.

CHARLIE

Pardon?

MOTORCYCLIST

Do you know any good places to eat? ‘Cos I’m dying to take you out for a bite.

CHARLIE

You have rocks in your head.

She turns to leave and notices Roman standing there. After their fight, she looks at him bitterly.

ROMAN

Dylan?

Charlie looks at Roman, raises and eyebrow, then looks at the blond motorcyclist.

MOTORCYCLIST

Roman!

CHARLIE

(angry) You know him?

Roman nods warily.

ROMAN

Charlie, meet Dylan. My little brother.

INT. DINER - AFTERNOON

Aden walks into the Diner and is stopped by Roman.

“"Radio Lies"” by Faker is playing in the background.

ADEN

Hey, Roman, have you seen Belle?

ROMAN

(screws up his nose) No. Not all day actually.

ADEN

(shakes his head) Okay. If you see her, just let her know I'm looking for her.

ROMAN

Sure thing.

Roman retreats back into the kitchen. Aden, picks up the Coastal News paper that Dylan had been reading in the previous scene. He turns to pages to find Belle’s latest article. A huge headline reads: “CHILD ABUSE: THE EFFECTS ON A LIFE.” Aden is quickly angered, throwing the paper to the table and racing out of the Diner.

INT. IRENE'S HOME - AFTERNOON.

Aden beats at Irene’s door, before storming in. Belle races from her bedroom to see Aden. Without him saying anything, she already knows why he is there.

“"Cruel Guards"” by the Panics plays in the background.

BELLE

I'm so sorry. I was going to tell you.

ADEN

(yells) What? Before the whole town found out?

BELLE

I didn’t have a choice. I had to print that story!

Aden raises his fist to his mouth, tears brimming his eyes.

ADEN

I trusted you with my secret Belle! How could you!?

BELLE

I didn't say your name. No one will know its you!

Aden turns his back on her

ADEN

That's not the point Belle! I trusted you. And now you’ve broken that trust.

He races out, and slams the door behind him, leaving Belle standing there, crying. She moves to her bedroom, and stares at a packet of her painkillers. Gulping, she pops the packet and swallows the pills.

EXT. BEACH - AFTERNOON.

Dylan is running along the beach, Roman runs to meet him. The two begin jogging along the sand.

ROMAN

What are you doing here?

DYLAN

What? I can't visit my big brother?

Roman stops running.

ROMAN

Last time I knew, you wanted nothing to do with me.

DYLAN

Yeah. But now I'm back. If you like it or not.

"Cruel Guards"” by the Panics fades out.

INT. IRENE'S HOME - NIGHT

Irene enters the house, and places her belongings on the counter. It appears as though nobody is home.

Oh my god! Belle! Oh Belle!

‘You can’t park here.’

“God Is Dead, Meet The Kids” by British India plays in the background.

NICOLE

Aden! Thank god! Didn’t you check your phone?

ADEN

(Confused)

What’s so important now?

Nicole hits him on the arm with her handbag.

NICOLE

Aden, its Belle. She’s in hospital.

ADEN

What?

INT. HOSPITAL – MORNING

RACHEL walks in on BELLE, lying in bed. Belle slowly opens her eyes, her fingers touching the tube attached to her neck.

BELLE

What...?

RACHEL

Belle. It’s okay, your in hospital.

Rachel checks her eyes.

RACHEL

I need to know what you took last night.

BELLE

I...

RACHEL

Belle, you collapsed last night because you overdosed on something. I need to know what it was. It’s important.

Belle shakes her head slightly.

BELLE

I don’t... I don’t remember. Where’s Aden?

Rachel looks at the door at Irene who shakes her head.

RACHEL

We’re still trying to find him. Listen, I think we need to talk. Not just about what happened last night. When we were running tests, we found something else.

BELLE

What?

Rachel bites her lip.

RACHEL

Belle. You’re pregnant.

INT. DINER – DAY

ROMAN is cooking next to LEAH, DYLAN is standing behind them.

“Don’t Fight It” by the Panics plays in the background.

ROMAN

I just don’t get what would have made her do something like that.

Leah shakes her head as she makes a salad.

LEAH

Sometimes people do stupid things.

ROMAN

I get that. But Belle of all people.

LEAH

I guess the stress finally got to her. It can’t be easy with everything she’s been through.

DYLAN is eating an apple.

DYLAN

So this Belle... she hot?

Roman glares at him.

ROMAN

How did your talk with Charlie go yesterday?

LEAH

Good. I mean, I don’t really know what I was expecting. It’s a long shot I know.

ROMAN

Yeah, but if Vinnie did have a son out there, then you have to try everything to find him.

DYLAN

You lost someone?

This time Leah glares at him.

DYLAN

What? Listen, I used to know someone who could find anyone. If you want, I can help you out.

Leah looks at Roman.

DYLAN

Look, I don’t start work for another week. I’d be happy to help you out.

LEAH

Um... yeah okay. If you think this friend of yours can help.

DYLAN

No worries. I’ll give him a ring now.

Dylan exits the kitchen and bumps into Charlie, who has just entered the Diner.

DYLAN

Hey there beautiful!

CHARLIE

(Screws up her nose)

What do you want?

DYLAN

You know what I want.

CHARLIE

How can you be Roman’s brother?

She pushes past him.

DYLAN

A date. Just a date.

Charlie rolls her eyes.

CHARLIE

Not in a million years.

“Don’t Fight It” by the Panics fades out.

INT. HOSPITAL – DAY

Belle is sitting up, staring at Rachel who has sat on the bed beside her.

BELLE

How is that possible?

RACHEL

Belle. You’ve been exhausted, you could have easily forgotten...

Belle shakes her head.

BELLE

No... It’s not that.

(muffled cry)

I’m too young.

(she holds her nose)

Where’s Aden?

RACHEL

He’s on his way here with Nicole. Look. We don’t need to discuss this now, but I need you to know that with you pregnant, your health is most important. You can’t keep on abusing drugs like you have been.

BELLE

(shakes her head)

I haven’t. I mean...

RACHEL

What?

BELLE

Last night. Aden and I... we had this fight.

Rachel puts her hand on Belle’s shoulder.

RACHEL

I know you’ve been under a lot of stress lately. With the development site, and Angelo. You just have to remember that we are all here for you.

Belle nods.

BELLE

Yeah. (softly) Thanks.

EXT. BEACH – DAY

DYLAN runs from the water. LEAH is standing watching him. He grabs his towel.

LEAH

It’s a good day for it.

DYLAN

Yes it is.

(grins)

You checking me out?

Leah looks away, her face brightens.

LEAH

I find it so hard to believe your related to Roman.

DYLAN

That’s what everyone says. I guess it comes with not growing up with him.

LEAH

What?

DYLAN

Nothing. Anyway, I called my friend. He says he can help.

LEAH

(Smiles)

Really!? That’s... that’s fantastic! Thank you!

Leah touches his arm. Dylan then moves and kisses her. She pushes him away.

DYLAN

Sorry. I just... couldn’t resist.

LEAH

That’s what this was all about, wasn’t it?

DYLAN

What?

Leah shakes her head and walks away.

LEAH

You thought if you helped me out. The damsel in distress, that I’d come crawling into your arms! You really aren’t like Roman, are you?

Dylan chases after her.

DYLAN

Leah! Wait... it’s not like that! Okay, I’m sorry!

Leah stops, arms folded.

DYLAN

I just thought... a date. You and me, tomorrow night. Please. At least let me make up for it.

Leah looks to the Surf Club, and sees Roman standing, watching them.

LEAH

Okay.

DYLAN

Yeah?

LEAH

Yes! Okay! (she laughs softly, a huge smile on her face.) I have to get back to it. Tomorrow night.

DYLAN

Won’t miss it for the world!

So do I.

LEAH

Any news?

DYLAN

(shakes his head)

Like I said, it might be hard, but my friend thinks he might be on the right track. Leah... it’s going to take some time.

Leah nods.

LEAH

Yeah. I know. Do you want anything? (She turns to the kitchen and back again).

Dylan shakes his head.

DYLAN

Still on for tonight, yeah?

LEAH

(gleefully)

Of course.

Yes. You’re Dylan Harris? The Other Harris (She raises her eyebrows.)

What can I do for you?

DYLAN

I just needed to check in with the paramedics. I’m supposed to be starting next week.

RACHEL

You’re a paramedic! Wow, um... (she turns), I’ll get you Michael Powell’s number, he should be able to tell you what you need to know.

She moves behind the counter, and searches through the draws.

RACHEL

So I heard about your big date with Leah tonight.

DYLAN

You have?

RACHEL

Yeah, just... just take it easy with her okay. She hasn’t had the best track record lately.

DYLAN

What do you mean?

Rachel bites her lip, handing Dylan a card.

RACHEL

Probably best that she tell you.

DYLAN

Right. Okay, well thanks for this (He taps his fingers on the counter), I guess we’ll be seeing more of each other very soon.

RACHEL

That we will. (She laughs).

Nurse Julie taps Rachel on the shoulder.

JULIE

Doctor Armstrong, Belle Taylor is calling for you.

DYLAN

The enigmatic Belle... (He grins), anyway, I’ll be off. Nice meeting you.

NICOLE

She’s going to be okay.

ADEN

(shakes his head)

Nic, for once in your life please shut up.

Nicole moves back quickly.

NICOLE

For once in your life just accept my help! Look, what’s happening with Belle is tough, she needs her friends around her. YOU need your friends around you too.

ADEN

(continues to shake his head)

It’s not that simple.

NICOLE

Aden?

He looks up at her, she holds his hands.

Belle’s pregnant.

Oh my god!

ADEN

It’s worse.

NICOLE

If you had a fight, that’s simple. Just sort it out.

ADEN

(Stands, fist to mouth)

No. I mean... yeah, we did... but...

NICOLE

Aden! What did you do?

Aden looks at her, tears in his eyes.

I slept with Joey.

You what!?

ADEN

I didn’t mean to okay! We got into a fight!

So as soon as you two fight, you jump into Joey’s bed! Real classy Aden!

EXT. BEACH – DAY

LEAH walks along the beach with RACHEL.

“The Sound of Coming Down” by the Long Winters plays in the background.

RACHEL

So I met the hunky paramedic today.

LEAH

(grins) Dylan.

RACHEL

So what’s the story?

Leah smiles. For once in her life, she feels free.

LEAH

He’s nothing like I thought he was.

RACHEL

What do you mean?

LEAH

After everything I’ve been through. With Vinnie, and Dan. I know its early, but I think Dylan might just be what I need in my life

RACHEL

I think... strangely enough, I agree with you.

He just seems so... spontaneous. You need that.

LEAH

What? I’m not spontaneous?

RACHEL

(laughs)

Leah, I think we all know how tense you’ve been lately. Maybe this is what you really need.

LEAH

Yeah. (She laughs), I have nothing to wear!

Rachel wraps her arm around Leah’s.

RACHEL

Oh! I think I can fix that!

INT. MARTHA’S HOME – AFTERNOON

MARTHA enters her home to find HUGO in the kitchen. She puts her shopping bags down and looks at him.

MARTHA

Hugo. I need to know something.

HUGO

(looks up surprised) Um... yeah anything.

MARTHA

What did you mean when you said Jack always came first?

He turns away. Biting his lip. She moves closer to him, and places her hand on his arm.

MARTHA

Hugo. I need to know.

Hugo turns back to her.

MARTHA

Did you mean what you said the other night?

HUGO

Yes.

MARTHA

So when Roman told me that you were the one who found Jack’s letters, why didn’t you tell me the truth? I deserved to know.

HUGO

I know. I’m sorry. But Martha...

MARTHA

What did you mean when you said Jack always came first? Answer me.

Hugo looks down, and closes his eyes.

HUGO

Jack and I...

(he shakes his head.)

MARTHA

What?

He looks up and kisses her passionately. He moves back, and Martha is shocked.

MARTHA

Hugo. I can’t. It’s just too soon.

She races to the door, tears falling down her face.

HUGO

Martha! Just listen to me okay! I love you, and what I meant about Jack... I know that I can never be what he was to you. I can only be myself, even though that’s not enough to love someone like you. I will always be second to Jack. I know that. But Martha... please.

MARTHA

(shakes her head)

I’m sorry.

She walks out.

INT. BAR – NIGHT

DYLAN and LEAH sit down at the bar.

“My Eyes Won’t Shut” by Port O’Brien plays in the background.

LEAH

So you met Rachel today?

DYLAN

Yeah. She seems nice. You...

LEAH

We go back.

Dylan takes a drink.

DYLAN

Right.

LEAH

So tell me more about you.

Dylan grins.

DYLAN

I’m really a psychopathic murderer who’s just escaped from prison. My victims are usually very attractive women, just like yourself. I don’t know why, I just can’t... help it. (he laughs).

LEAH

Funny. (She hits him). Really. Who is Dylan Harris?

He looks away, then back to her.

DYLAN

You don’t want to know. Really.

LEAH

What’s so bad that you can’t tell me?

Dylan laughs softly.

DYLAN

I was always the screw up. (He smiles). Dad, he was in the SAS like Roman was. He was always on the move, so we never really knew him. So it was just my Mum, Roman, and Oscar. I’m the youngest. So when things got tough, I ran away.

LEAH

Doesn’t mean anything.

DYLAN

No... I guess not. (He drinks), what about you? Rachel left a very cryptic message for me.

She laughs.

LEAH

She did?

DYLAN

What’s the big bad secret of Leah Patterson?

LEAH

Well there is one thing... every guy I ever get close to... somehow... well lets just say its never a happy ending.

DYLAN

Ah! Leah Patterson... black widow!

LEAH

Shut up! (she hits him again and laughs).

Dylan rubs his arms.

DYLAN

I’ll be covered in bruises by the end of the night!

LEAH

Good!

Her phone rings.

LEAH

Damn! (gets her phone), Stella, calm down! Yeah, okay. Okay! I’ll be right there.

(she puts her phone in her bag), I’m really sorry.

I have to go.

Dylan nods slowly.

DYLAN

It’s okay. Another time then.

LEAH

Yes! Most definitely.

DYLAN

Have a good night.

LEAH

You too.

She leaves and bumps into Charlie. She say hello to each other, before taking their separate ways.

Charlie sits at the bar, Dylan moves to sit by her.

DYLAN

Peace offering.

CHARLIE

What do you want?

DYLAN

Just to say I’m sorry. I know I can be a bit full on sometimes.

CHARLIE

(Sighs), Dylan... It surprises me that any women actually fall for you.

Dylan touches his chest.

DYLAN

Ouch! Dude, that hurt!

CHARLIE

(smiles) You are nothing like him.

DYLAN

Nope. I’m fun. I don’t have a constant “Be serious” (he mocks Roman) face.

She laughs for the first time, honestly.

DYLAN

Friends at least?

CHARLIE

(Nods), I suppose we can be friends.

DYLAN

Great! Its good to see you out of uniform by the way. Not that I don’t mind the whole cop fantasy.

CHARLIE

You really don’t know the limits when talking to people, do you?

DYLAN

Probably not.

She laughs at him.

DYLAN

I want to get to know you better.

She raises an eyebrow.

EXT. BEACH – NIGHT

DYLAN and CHARLIE walk on the sand. Dylan begins stripping.

CHARLIE

What are you doing?

Dylan looks at the water.

DYLAN

Going for a swim.

CHARLIE

You’re crazy.

DYLAN

Yep!

He starts taking off his pants.

CHARLIE

Wait... what?

DYLAN

What? Charlie’s never tried skinny dipping?

CHARLIE

I’m a cop remember.

DYLAN

So...?

CHARLIE

Its against the law Dylan. (she shakes her head).

Dylan shakes his head.

DYLAN

I’m not breaking any laws Charlie. That’s something you have to learn. We’re not breaking the law, we’re bending it.

Charlie is still unsure.

DYLAN

Stop being like Roman. Let go. Have fun.

CHARLIE

I’m not... I have fun!

DYLAN

Prove it.

Charlie looks at the water, and takes off her shirt.

Dylan laughs, before he pulls her and kisses her. For once, she doesn’t fight back.

DYLAN

Come on.

Charlie looks unsure.

CHARLIE

Bending the rules. Not breaking them.

DYLAN

Exactly.

The two run into the water.

FADE TO BLACK

EXT. BEACH – MORNING

XAVIER and HUGO are running along the beach.

XAVIER

So what’s the go between you and Martha?

HUGO

(shakes his head)

Nothing. Can you just drop it?

XAVIER stops

XAVIER

Hugo! Why can’t you just tell me?

HUGO

(turns angrily)

Because it doesn’t concern you!

HUGO runs off in the opposite direction. XAVIER is left standing, he looks up to the surf club and notices RUBY watching him.

INT. SURF CLUB – MORNING

XAVIER enters and finds RUBY playing pool with ANNIE and JAI. He walks up to them hesitantly.

JAI

What do you want?

ANNIE

Jai.

He looks to her.

JAI

What? I still haven’t forgotten what you did.

XAVIER

And I’m not asking you to.

(he looks at Ruby).

I just wanted to talk.

RUBY nods to her friends.

RUBY

What?

XAVIER

Can we go somewhere else?

RUBY

If you have something to say, say it here.

XAVIER looks around, nervously.

XAVIER

I love you Ruby. I always did.

(his nerves all but vanish.)

I’ll fight for you. You’ll see that I’m the one for you.

Just wait and see.

He then walks out of the surf club.

EXT. SURF CLUB EXTERIOR – MORNING

RUBY runs up to XAVIER.

RUBY

Xave!

He turns, and notices she has tears in her eyes.

RUBY

Xavier. I can’t.

XAVIER

Why not?

RUBY

(cries)

I don’t want to be second best for you. If you want me, I have to be your only one. Do you understand that?

XAVIER

Yes Ruby! That’s what I’m trying to say.

(he sighs)

I know I hurt you in the past, just know now that, I’m the one for you.

I know I’ve made my fair share of mistakes, but now I see the one thing I did that wasn’t a mistake.

Falling in love with you.

RUBY wipes her tears, before jumping into his arms and kissing him passionately.

BELLE

I can’t wait to get out of here.

Me too love.

Thank you Rachel.

RACHEL

That’s what I’m here for.

BELLE

(to Irene)

Have you found Aden yet?

Irene shakes her head.

INT. ROMAN’S HOME – DAY

GEOFF and NICOLE are sitting on the couch kissing. She moves to take his shirt off. He smiles hesitantly, before she slides it off him.

GEOFF

What if Roman comes home?

NICOLE

He won’t be back until late this afternoon.

NICOLE kisses his chest.

GEOFF

What about Aden?

NICOLE

He won’t be back anytime soon, not after what he did to Belle.

GEOFF

What did he do?

NICOLE sits up and bites her lips.

NICOLE

I don’t know. But whatever it is, he’ll fix it.

GEOFF

Nic, what did he do?

NICOLE sits up and pouts.

NICOLE

I knew I couldn’t keep it a secret.

GEOFF

Nic?

NICOLE

Aden did something... he needs to tell her...

GEOFF

(grabs her hands)

What did he do?

EXT. SURF CLUB – AFTERNOON

ADEN is walking alone, looking miserable. GEOFF walks up to him, angry.

GEOFF

Aden!

ADEN turns around.

ADEN

What do you want?

GEOFF

Hey!

GEOFF knocks ADEN to the ground and starts punching him. HUGO races and pulls them off one another, whilst ROMAN pulls back ADEN.

HUGO

What’s going on here?

GEOFF sneers at ADEN

GEOFF

Ask him!

ROMAN

Aden?

ADEN looks at GEOFF, still struggling to break free from ROMAN.

ADEN

Nicole! I knew she wouldn’t keep her mouth shut!

GEOFF

You bought this on yourself! How could you do that to Belle?!

ROMAN

Aden? What did you do?

ADEN elbows Roman in the gut, and attacks GEOFF again. HUGO and ROMAN break it up yet again. This time, HUGO pushes ROMAN.

HUGO

You! Stay out of it!

ROMAN

Don’t bring our fight into this!

HUGO

Our fight? I told you something personal and you told Martha! I trusted you!

ROMAN

She had the right to know.

HUGO

(huffs)

She had the right to know! Roman... just stay out of my life.

ROMAN

Gladly.

ROMAN walks away.

INT. HOSPITAL – NIGHT

ADEN knocks on the door. BELLE looks ups surprised.

BELLE

Aden!

ADEN

Hey (he kisses her on the forehead).

BELLE

What happened to you?

ADEN

I just...

BELLE

If you’re scared about the baby, then so am I. You have nothing to worry about.

ADEN

It’s not that!

He looks up at her, tears in his eyes.

ADEN

There’s something I have to tell you.

BELLE

What...?

ADEN

After our fight... I slept with Joey.

BELLE bursts into tears, and begins to hyperventilate.

Get out!

ADEN

Belle...

BELLE

Get out! Just get out!
