Scene 1
As the crew go off to find Ellie they took her 'road trip' phrase a bit too literal, which they should of known because 'ITS ELLIE ' and more often of not she doesn't mean what she writes or says.
Ellie was actually taking a road trip through the town and doing some shopping, that's the way she clears her head and figures things out and maybe sometimes a glass of red too. Ellie was sitting in her truck just up from the shopping town in a little lane, i mean little because her truck is so big, and she noticed Andy driving the family car with Jules, Laurie and Grayson and wondered where the hell they were going ? As she could see they were driving further and further away out of the town she came to realise that her baby wasn't with them and bobby wasn't there either, Ellie turned the car around and headed back to the house to check on Stan, as she drove back she realised that her relationship with her husband could be over by tomorrow as she let out a little tear and massive sigh she kept driving.
Scene 2
Ellie arrived back at the house hearing the baby screaming crying she shouted "Oh My God i cant believe they left him on his own " as she rushed into the house and went to find Stan in his cot he stopped crying and then Ellie stopped, then there were giggles coming from the bedroom, she rushed into the bedroom like lightening to find that Bobby was there playing with him and feeding him. Bobby didn't even acknowledge Ellie standing there, As Ellie slightly leaned against the door frame with the softest of smiles, she realised that if Andy loved her he would be the one waiting for her to come home , and if he loved her that much he would know that Ellie was not completely crazy and serious when she wrote she was going on a road trip.
Ellie said quietly
" Bobby what are you doing here?, i thought you might of gone of with the other idiots to find me "
"Ellie , i know im not the brightest person you have ever meet , but come on i have known you since Jules and and I got married and divorced s o i think i know when you write your gonna go on a road trip for a couple of days that means im going for a drive for a couple of hours, seriously Ellie, it may be all free and breezy in this head of mine but do use the old noodle now and again to help my friends "
"so why didn't you tell the others ?"
"Because there's something i needed to tell you without the pressure of anyone coming home too early or the phone ringing "
"Bobby come on we both know we cant go on with what we have been doing "
"Ellie .......please can you listen to what i have to say , please ?"
Ellie looking Bobby in the eyes becoming scared of what he's about to say might put her in a bigger pickle than what she is ..
"go on then . i guess you deserve to "
" Ellie.......do you actually know why me and Jules got divorced ?"
"Yeah because you were sleeping around and cheating on her "
"GAC (guilty as charged ) but do you know why i was sleeping around "
Ellie shaking her head
" Ellie i was cheating on Jules because i knew i couldn't have you . i have loved for a long time and have hidden it since you and Andy got married, it hurts me every day seeing you and Andy having this loving relationship and im stuck on a my boat like a old Japanese man"
"oh my god Bobby why ? why didn't you say anything of this sooner ?"
"because ....... because i was scared "
Scene 3
Andy was driving the car with everyone in it , while everyone was getting frustrated and upset that they couldn't find Ellie , Andy thought back to a conversation they both once had with each other, and Andy realised that Ellie said if they ever had a heated argument , that she would leave for a few hours on a shopping 'road trip' and be back at the house drinking wine , but could never leave Stan . Andy stopped the car and shouted
" I know where Ellie is !!!"
everyone in the car looked at each other and went
"where ?"
"she home , i know she is , she's gonna think everyone has gone to find her and has left Stan alone , so she's gone back to see her son ...........(he stops and his face droops )
omg! , i told her she would never see her son again " Andy started to cry after realising what he was doing to a perfectly good relationship.
Jules comforts Andy by saying "
its gonna be ok dude, Ellie still loves you"
"but Jules that's the problem, i said some really horrible stuff to her and i think i broke her heart by saying she cheated and that i would never let her see her son ...Jules what the hell have i done , I love Ellie but i don't think she love me "
Laurie goes in to hug Andy and whispers into his ear
" if you go home and say sorry and apologise to your wife for everything im sure in good time she will forgive you "
"Laurie i don't know what's gotten into you lately but you and Ellie have become best friends , but what ever happened i thank you for the support right know , it means the world " Andy replied
Scene 4
Back at the cul-de-sac Bobby and Ellie are still talking but this time they are sitting in the kitchen leaning over the kitchen table holding hands softly, as they gazed into each others eyes.
"Bobby what are we going to do ?"
Bobby just looked her in the eyes without flinching and said quietly
"I don't know but what i do know is that i am in love with you Ellie "
"Bobby i love you too but i can't just tear my marriage apart when this could only be a little playground crush that we both have at the moment "
"oh god Ellie for me this is no playground whoo haa crush , i am in love with you "
Ellie took her eyes off Bobby for second and looked at her wedding ring, then pulled her hand away out of the softly clasped touch they both had and walked to be beside bobby and whispered
"Let them know that im here, but tell Andy that I need a break from him and tell them that im staying on the boat with you and i don't want anyone to come visit me for a few days ....you got it ?"
"ummm Ellie don't you think its a bit weird your staying on my boat when you can stay and Laurie's or Jules house"
"yeah of course they will, but Bobby if you are so in love with me that its the real deal im gonna live with you and you can see how it is to be with me all the time ...ok?"
Bobby turned to look at her looked deeply into her eyes and said
"ok!"
Bobby kept his focus on Ellie as he got closer to her face, so close, that he could brush up against her nose and with tone of voice which was breathtaking whispered
"I love you "
and before she could even answer, Bobby pressed his soft pink lips up against hers and kissed her passionately , running his hands through her hair down to her waist which made their way down to the cheeks of her bottom and grabbed on slightly, Ellie running her hand through his hair and making her way down his back and into a his jeans back pocket and ever so slightly grabbed his bottom too.
Scene 5
Andy is driving and decides to turn on the radio and hears his and Ellie's wedding song come one "Amazed- Lonestar " and as he turns to look at the radio everyone looked at Andy as he cried and screamed "
I WANT ELLIE BACK !!! "
Jules turned to him grabbed hold of his hand and said
" your going have her again don't worry, your not going to lose her "
Andy stopped the car and just sat there crying saying
" i want Ellie back , I love her , I miss her " over and over again
Laurie and Jules and Grayson couldn't believe how upset Andy was they could see how much it was hurting him, they could see that he had made the biggest mistake of his life. As the song finished Jules phone rung, everyone turned to look at her and the pressure of answering the phone was intense
"hello Bobby , is everything ok ?" Jules went with a slight hesitation
"Hey J-Bird , Ellie is Home she's here with Stan"
Jules has a massive smile on her face and whispers to Andy,
"Ellie's home"
"Ok Bobby we are going to head back now "
"Jules , before you go you need to tell Andy that Ellie said, they need to take a break from each other and that shes going stay on the boat with me , Ellie needs space from everyone "
"WHAT ! Bobby .. you actually want me to tell Andy that "
"Jules don't be shouting at me its Ellie's words not mine "
"oh god .......ok but this is going to crush him" Jules now has a tear in her eye
"Talk to you soon Jules "
Scene 6
They all get back home and everyone gets out of the car and as Andy is about to get out Jules stops him
"Andy i need to say something to you that was said to me on the phone "
"go ahead " Andy had a massive smile thinking he was about to see his beautiful wife
"
Andy , Ellie is not going to be in the house, shes going to be at Bobby's boat , she said to tell you that you both need a break from each other and she needs a break from me too "
Andy face turned cold there was no smile , he quickly went into the house because he didn't want to believe what Jules just told him, He got in to the house searched every room for Ellie to find that she wasn't there, He slumped on the couch and started to whimper because he couldn't believe he actually drove his wife away
"
Jules" he mumbled
" do you think she will come back ?"
Jules sat next to him with a firm grip on his knee "
of course she will she wont just leave you for ever she will come back and you will talk about it, i think you both need to be apart for a few days to cool off and think about what your going to say to each other "
Andy looked up and was about to ask the hardest questions ever to answer
"Jules , do you think she still loves me ? , do you think she is in love with Bobby instead ?"
Jules looked at Andy in shocked that he was asking these questions
"of course she loves you Andy don't be so stupid"
"but Jules do you think she loves Bobby too ?"
Jules hesitated to answer, because Andy was in a upsetting place as it was and didnt want to make him more upset so she answered with "
im not the right person to answer that question Andy , i think you need to ask Ellie yourself when you talk .
Scene 7
Later that night Andy was at his house Ellie was at the boat and everyone else was at Jules talking about their marriage because Andy and Ellie's marriage was the strongest relationship in the town, they all felt kinda down because deep down inside all of them they knew that when they were in a relationship or not they wished it could have been liked theirs, strong and secure. Bobby walked off he left the crew there talking without saying goodbye because he loved Ellie so he wanted to be with her . As Bobby walked off Grayson could see he was going and followed him and he caught up to him outside the front door Grayson shouted
" Bobby hold up !"
"Yeah G-love "
"what's the matter with you ? you didnt say anything in there and you walked off without saying goodbye "
"ummm Grays the thing is they are all talking how they all want to have a relationship or marriage like Andy and Ellie's..."
"yeah so what the problem Bobby "
there is a pause and Bobby looks to the floor and mumbles
" im in love with Ellie "
Grayson knew something was up but he never thought that
" Bobby does she fell the same way about you ?"
"well she says she does , but i think she is scared to admit anything at the moment "
"Bobby go back to Ellie and talk to her , you need to know answers"
"ill ask her tomorrow, she just as fragile, i think someone needs to go see Andy "
"Bobby i'll go talk to Andy then , but promise me you will talk to Ellie ?"
Bobby looked back at Grayson and said
" i promise"
Scene 8
Its pouring down with rain and Bobby gets back to the boat and sees Ellie sitting at the edge of the boat with no umbrella, not coat she's just wearing a t-shirt and a pair of jeans Bobby looks up at her thinking ' i know shes cold and wet but she has never looks more attractive to me '
Bobby climbed up onto his boat and went towards Ellie and said "
how are you out here without a coat or a umbrella? pouring down with rain "
"
really its raining , i never knew " she said sarcastically Ellie walked back in to the boat away from the rain and left Bobby standing there. Ellie sat down where the eat food and put her head in her arms, Bobby walks in to the boat and sits next to her and says "
Ellie look at me (Ellie looks up at him) you wanted to stay here , you said you loved me, why are you upset ?"
"Bobby look at me im soaking wet, im in a boat and i have no clothes to change into "
"i can give a t-shirt of mine if you like "
Ellie looked at him with a smile that meant Please and thank you all at the same time . Ellie went over to the bed and started to get undressed and change into Bobby's t-shirt , Bobby turned around and saw her change , in slow motion , and thought to himself ' WOW she is hot ! ' as she slid the t-shirt over her body and swung her hair back , flicks of water landed on Bobby's face . He walked over to Ellie and as she turned around Bobby grabbed her by her small waist picked her up and held her by her smooth legs and threw her onto the bed then Bobby whispered "
i have waited so long to be with you like this "
Ellie replied looking through her long eye lashes
" i think we should have done this along time ago "
they passionately kissed and tossed and turned on each other and until Ellie was on top of him, with his back on the bed and she was sitting up right. Ellie exploring his body with her lips and hands but Bobby thought he was about to ruin the moment so he sat up to face her and put his hands on her hips and started to slowly remove the t-shirt that she wearing to reveal her naked body. Ellie layed against him and whispered into his ear
" are you ready ?"
he gave the biggest smile ever and said
" Ellie i love you , you have an amazing hot body i have never been any more ready than i am now "
That night there was no more talking but alot of passion throwing, that night was a night never to forget, that night was the start of something
Scene 9
The next morning the sun was shining through the boats window onto Ellie's face like a perfect angel as Bobby was just laying there admiring her, he place his hand over her face to remove a little piece of hair that was covering her tanned, make-up free face so he could just look at her while she was still sleeping on her front with the covers just covering her rear. Bobby climbed over her to get out of the bed and walked out to the front of the boat with the biggest smile on his face thinking that he finally had a dream women that he wanted to spend his life with in for ever. As Bobby was standing at the front of the boat , Ellie's eyes opened slightly to find a big hunk of a beast laying on the floor next to her, of course its Travis 'the dog', she looked up towards the door which was slightly ajar, she turned over to find that Bobby wasn't there so she quickly wrapped a sheet around her and climbed over the beast and poked her head out the door to find Bobby just standing there. Ellie walked slowing up to him and stood on a milk crate so they would be the same height, she stood behind him and whispered with a kiss
"Hey handsome"
Bobby turned around to face her and said back
"I love you ! your the only person i want "
They both looked at each other and smiled.
Scene 10
As its morning everyone goes to Jules house for coffee, but that didn't happen today. Jules was at least expecting Laurie and Grayson , but nope no-one Laurie went to the boat to talk to Ellie and Bobby , Grayson left the house early to go chat to Andy before work and look after Stan, Jules could not believe that for the 1st time since they all became friends that there was no coffee morning any more and the group had a split up.
Jules sat in her kitchen on her own drinking a cup of hazelnut coffee. This happened day in day out the same routine Jules didn't see her best friends Laurie and Ellie is days she hadn't see her boyfriend either, Grayson, she missed Andy and Bobby and even her son,Travis, was avoiding her. Then one morning Jules sitting in her kitchen decided that she's had enough so so phones everyone to take a day off from work to stop what their doing in get to her house because they need a friends night but there was only one way to get Bobby Ellie and Andy all in the same room without no arguing if if she lied to them saying the other 2 weren't coming or the other 1 weren't coming,
Scene 11
Everyone was at Jules house as expected because the always come together the only person that hadn't arrived yet was Andy, Everyone was concerned but for some reason Ellie wasn't, Jules was surprised by this as they had been together a very long time and to not even look bothered was worrying for Jules, even Bobby was concerned and a little worried to where Andy was, but no emotion what so ever came from Ellie.
As Jules asked everyone to sit on the chairs in the seating area, Ellie decided that she would stay on the kitchen island and be sat on her own, Jules wasn't having any of it she called over to Ellie
"Ellie come on , your sitting with us "
Ellie look at Jules with a facial expression of ' who do you think i am ' and replied
" ummm , its ok ill stay by here "
Jules walking over to Ellie
"No Ellie ,, your coming over and sitting by us we need to talk?"
"i don't want to talk Jules, why don't you just leave me Bobby and Andy sort this out in our own time"
"As you can see Ellie Andy is not here, you have broken his heart into a millions pieces by what your doing "
everyone just sits in the seated area and stares at the them while they have a heated discussion in the kitchen.
"Andy will be fine ,, jeez people , do you actually think Andy is this hurt but what I've done ?"
Everyone looks at Ellie with all concerned expression replying
"yes! "
Ellie looked at Jules and said "really ? " with a tone of sadness
Jules walked right up in front of Ellie and replied " yes, Ellie Grayson has been going over there early mornings to look after Stan, i haven't seen Grayson in 4 days, hes meant to be my boyfriend not Andy and your nanny for Stan "
Ellie couldn't believe what she was hearing, she couldn't believe her friend was telling her this. Ellie looked at Jules and quietly said
" what do i do?"
"you need to go over there right now and talk to him "
by this time Ellie had let out a few droplets from her eyes and everyone was stunned that she was crying because she was always the tough cookie who never cried and gave stern advice to everyone.
"but Jules, do you actually think he will stand there and listen to me ?"
"there's only one way to find out Ellie, get over there now , and put my number on speed dial in case you need me give me a ring"
Ellie couldn't believe that Jules had just given her a few home truths and was now helping her
"
Jules i...i.....i need you now "
Jules grabbed Ellie and gave her a hug so tight and Ellie melted into her and let out more tears, Laurie could see how upset she was and walked over to her and hugged them both and Ellie whispered "
Thank you Jules for helping me and thank you Jelly Bean for everything you have done for me "
Scene 12
Ellie gathers her confidence and walks over to her house where Andy would be, her legs and hands shaking with nerves, she kept her head down and just walked over. Although it was her house with Andy she didn't walk in , she knocked on the door. Andy answered it , he was wearing the most ugliest pair of jogging bottoms that he has had for 15 years. When Ellie looked down to see those pants , that he only wears when he's angry and upset, she knew how much she had hurt him.
"Andy , can i come in ?"
"what are you going do this time, tell me another lie then leave again ...huh"
"Andy i'm sorry , i'll explain everything , can i come in ?"
"Ellie there are three things in this world i love and three things i hate you wanna know what they are"
"ummmm do i have a choice "
"i love you, Stan and our little family and what i hate right now also is you , your lies and that you don't talk to me anymore "
Ellie starts to cry on the doorstep and begs
"please Andy an i come in, ill tell you everything ....please !"
"give me one good reason why ?"
Ellie looked him in the eyes grabbed her phone and played their wedding song and said
'I LOVE YOU...i love you more than anything, i never knew how much i did love you and still do till i haven't been home and lost you, remember this song , this was the 1st day i ever realised that i was with the man that loved me for being me "
Andy looked at her , she had make up running down her face from crying so much and you could see that she was sorry for everyting
"ok ! you can come in"
Ellie looked at Andy and mimed
"thank you"
*********************went inside **************************
Scene 13
Everyone was still back at Jules house, Bobby had now started to act a little weird around everyone, like he couldn't keep still , like he needed to say something.
Jules went
" Bobby what is the matter , you cant keep still your not even joining in with our conversations"
"Jules ..umm ....yeah im fine "
Jules kept looking at him thinking , 'there's defiantly something wrong' but she left him be for a few minutes, then in front of everyone he shouted
"I HAVE TO SAY SOMETHING!!"
Laurie said
"Bobby , calm down , what's the matter ?
"i ...i...i ..oh my god ..i need to say it "
"say what Bobby ...huh come on !"
"i cant Laurie i have to go over there and stop them "
Jules popped up and said
" Bobby you right stay here they are trying to fix their marriage "
"Jules you don't understand "
"what dont i understand ?"
and in front of everyone bobby said
" i love Ellie "
Everyone looked at him with a shock on their face and jaws open
" you see, im going over there "
Bobby walked out of the house and heading towards Ellie's and Andy's house, everyone went after him trying to stop him.
Scene 14
Ellie and Andy are talking , Andy is still sat down while Ellie is up standing pacing back and forth trying to get her point across and explaining everything to him, about the dream and what happened when she was gone at the beach. Andy stands up and walks towards her and asks
"did you sleep with Bobby? "
Ellie answered with
" well yes , i slept in his bed with him there was no where else to sleep "
"no Ellie I'm not asking that, did you and Bobby have sex? "
Ellie knew she had to tell the truth about what had gone on between her and Bobby , but admitting this to him was going to either tear them apart or in the near future make them stronger for not lieing.
Ellie took a deep breath and said
" yes i did Andy, but i don't love him any more, i love you"
"hold on ...wait ...you loved him ..?"
"yes of course, he's the one that's been helping me and i love him just like i love Jules and Laurie and Grayson and Travis ."
"so you want to sleep with all of them too "
"no Andy that's not what i'm saying ..what i'm trying to say is that i loved Bobby a little bit more than them guys but now i just love him as a friend , i love you, i want you as my husband, i want to be with you forever"
"Ellie .....why ? .....why would you do this to us ? I loved you and yeah i guess i've been working to hard to notice that you were having a hard time, im sorry , but what you did was something so wrong i don't know what im going to do about it "
"so is this it for us .are u saying its over "
"i don't know what i'm saying Ellie , yes of course i love you but you have also broke my heart by what you have done "
Bobby walks into the house and everyone follows him, Andy said quickly "
what the hell are you all doing here ?"
Bobby answers
" i have to do something "
Bobby talks hold of Ellie and kisses her and whispers
" i love you "
Ellie tries and struggles away from him and runs out of the house .
Scene 15
Ellie has no where to run , she feels that all her friends are going to side with Andy or well stay with him , she knows that Bobby and Andy are going to argue about what happened just 10 minutes ago and she never wanted that to happen, she starts walking out of the cul-de-sac and she just walks where ever her feet are taking her. Ellie walks just a few feet away from her friends to where Barb lives, she stop and stares at the house , in gaze so deep that a bomb could go off next to her and she wouldn't know, like another world.
Barb sees Ellie just staring at the house from her living room window and shouts over
" Don't worry sweet checks your not the only one to be amazed by Barb outer wear"
Ellie shakes out of it and looks at Barb and shouts back
" are you crazy , women ?"
"crazy .. well i get crazy when the men get in side the inner wear "
" Barb i am not in the mood for your little traps, i have had one hell of a rough day" shouted sternly
Ellie kept on walking and Barb paced down the street after her until she caught up with her, she grabbed hold of Ellie and as Barb would do , she gave her a most biggest boob huge ever. It might not have looked appropriate at the time for the passing drivers but Ellie put her hands around barb and held her so tight , as she let out a tear, Barb went quietly in her ear "
do you remember this , we always used to hug , me and you were friends and now you hang out with all them "
"Barb , i miss you , i miss these tight friend hugs that mean so much, i miss that we both used to do the joke traps, i wish my life was back to being like it was before, simple, free and no care in the world , but i would have my baby all over again "
"Ellie no matter what will happen , there's always a door open, you need to take a break from everything and everyone , stay here with me for a few months while things cool down"
" Barb , i cant believe you are offering me this "
"no im not offering im telling you too, i wont bring no men over , it will just be the two of us girls and we will have girl time"
"Thank you ever so much , but please dont tell Jules Bobby or Andy where i am or Grayson, just tell Laurie if you ever see her.. shes the only one i can trust !"
So it began Ellie packed up her stuff from her and Andy's house and told them all she was going away for a few months , she stayed at Barbs and enjoyed the time together, talked , drank , danced and partied, Laurie even brought Stan over to her when Ellie asked , pretending to Andy that she was baby sitting ! ..
HOPE YOU ENJOYED !!
