We'll meet with some adoption agencies.
- Maybe some young parents - Clay stop, ok? I've already made my decision.
I'm not having this baby.
I called the clinic and I go tomorrow at 5 pm.
I'm sorry, can you explain what's happening, please? We're kids Clay.
Alright? We can't have a kid and I can't go on living my life knowing that I have a child out there that I just gave away.
So you'd just rather I can't believe this.
Ok, you said you were to support me no matter what decision we made.
We didn't make this one.
You did.
I need to do this.
And I want you to be there.
I can't.
Hi, my name is Spencer and I am an Aiden addict.
Ok, so we went like on two dates, and then, the first one I hurled.
and on the second one I cried because I realized that I was more into his ex.
- I'm Kyla.
And I'm an Aiden addict too.
- Hi Kyla.
I crushed on Aiden until I found out that he got my sister pregnant and didn't tell me.
We dated anyway, until he dumped me because he thought I was a two-faced whore.
- You win! - No, Ashley does.
It's weird though.
With their history it's strange that they're still best friends, you know.
Wait, you think they're best friends? I don't know, the sideways glances, the inside jokes, finishing each other's sentence, come on, you tell me.
Hi girls.
Ok, if you're gonna wear that, I'm definitely gonna have to wear something else.
Yo your dad let me in.
- Can we talk for a minute? - I'm all talked out, man.
Yeah, I get that.
- But I just saw Chelsea and she's a mess.
- Sean, save your breath.
Chelsea's decided and that's that.
I haven't even talked to her since yesterday when she told me.
And because you don't like her choice, you abandoned the homegirl, the one you love? You gonna leave her to face this? By herself? Yeah, way to show up, man.
Excuse me? I'm not the one doing the abandoning.
She is.
Quit making this about your childhood, man.
Your experience with your Moms.
This is about her childhood.
What's left of it.
No you need to step off man cause right now your opinion's no longer welcome.
There's the door.
You better grow up if you wanna be a daddy.
- I'm not going to be a dad.
- Take it easy.
Are you guys kidding me? What the hell is going on here? Sean's getting into something that's none of his business.
Somebody has to.
This is not like you.
It's Chelsea.
Ok, Ronda.
You're gonna have to stop bringing these cookies.
I struggle with addiction remember.
Duly noted.
Carrot sticks next week.
I leave you two to chat.
Great, so now we can't have a sugar high? Sorry.
You know, you look so familiar.
Do you live around here? Yeah.
Really? Me too, I live round Harper right off Melrose Do you need a ride home? Actually my car is out of commission.
So Absolutely.
These are all full.
- Why don't we have any blank tapes? - Cause you film everything.
- This one doesn't have a label.
- Alright, let's watch it.
Fine, I'll start.

Girls, the limousine is here.
And we're all running late.
Ashley.
I know that everyone is wearing lingerie as evening wear to the MTV awards but - Honestly! - Relax mom.
I'm not even done yet.
Spencer, that tape was ancient ok? I made it with him when we were sophomores.
I'd totally forgot I even had it.
Ok well, I'm ready so I'm gonna go to the limo and play with the windows or something.
I'll see you around.
I'll see you at school ok? Bye Spencer.
Alright, you too need to leave now as well.
I'm turning on the security system.
You guys seem so Happy together.
I'm sorry that upset you.
Can we talk about this later? Come on.
I'm just calling you from backstage, ok? Hello.
Hey Spencer, it's Chelsea.
I need your help.
I'm at the family clinic on Fairfax.
What are you doing there? - I'm getting an abortion.
- I'm on my way.
Thanks.
So jail was your wake-up call? I mean, you can't really get much lower than that.
Oh yeah? Try waking up on stage, in an empty theater in your bra and underwear having no idea how you got there.
No way.
And instead of trying to figure out what's going on, I smoked a ball, swallowed some pills, wash it down with a fifth of vodka.
- That's intense.
- Shut up.
Yeah, it was, it was pretty hot?? and I threw up all over myself, I must say.
I really like talking to you.
I like talking to you too.
And I like not talking.
Oh what what are you doing? What I thought we both wanted.
Yeah that's a good idea.
I'm not having 30 days sober and I'm hooking up with an addict.
Hey we can help each other.
I mean we can find something new to do other than just think about getting high.
No.
- How old are you anyway? - I'm almost 18.
Get out.
Chelsea.
Why isn't Clay here? Cause he doesn't agree with the choice I'm making.
And hu I just couldn't wait any longer, so I'm feeling really bad.
I'm putting you in like a terrible position.
No.
Chels, I wanna be here.
I love both of you.
Chelsea Lewis? That's me.
Look I don't need any more advice.
Chelsea's in the driver seat now, and I'm just along for the ride.
Are you? Looks to me like you're still waiting on the curb for her to turn around and come back in your direction.
Cecily.
Did you bring those photos we talked about? I did.
What what photos? Your Mom thought you might like to see some of my early photos of you.
You kept photos of me? Of course I did.
There wasn't a day that went by that I didn't look at them or at least touch the envelope in my purse.
Say a little prayer for your new life.
They aren't that many.
I didn’t have you for very long.
I figured out pretty quick I wasn't gonna be any good for you.
Thanks.
You look so young.
I was.
Younger than you and Chelsea.
The only difference is I didn't have any real opportunities like you two.
Thank God, your mother and father were there to do what I couldn't.
We got lucky.
We did.
See, I just hate to think of her there alone.
Just waiting in that clinic.
That's the one thing you can change.
You know, it doesn't mean that your opinion has shifted.
I just means that you love her.
I do.
- Clay.
- Where is she? She called me, she Didn't want to be alone.
Where are her parents? They offer to come but she just didn't want them here.
They've been pretty intense since she even told them.
I should have been there for her.
Don't beat yourself up.
You're here now.
- Ok? - Ok.
I didn't go through with it.
It's ok, it's ok.
We're gonna be ok.
This is Cecily.
Hi.
Hi.
Everything is gonna be fine.
I apologize.
Thank you for being on time miss Davies.
No problemo.
Hey, I I called you from the show.

But it's not anymore.
I know that, it's just That was really hard to see.
I don't like feeling jealous.

I don't care, I just We could be going through so much more.
I'm just glad that we have each other.
