0:00:54 > 0:00:58Have you remembered your chemistry stuff?

0:00:58 > 0:01:00Fine. Pull a strop. You're still not going.

0:01:00 > 0:01:02Why's it always me gets left out?

0:01:02 > 0:01:03I'm not going through this again!

0:01:03 > 0:01:06- You go out. - I don't have mocks.

0:01:21 > 0:01:24And I want you doing homework when I get back tonight!

0:01:24 > 0:01:27DOOR SLAMS

0:01:41 > 0:01:45MUSIC: Domino by Jessie J

0:02:06 > 0:02:08Not everything has to be for a reason.

0:02:08 > 0:02:11Good morning, Dr Clay. Nurse Clay.

0:02:11 > 0:02:14Morning, Mrs Tembe. So you cook breakfast midweek and that's it?

0:02:14 > 0:02:15Nothing's broken?

0:02:15 > 0:02:18You're not trying to build up to telling me your mum's visiting?

0:02:18 > 0:02:20- Oh, now that you come to mention it...- Oh.

0:02:21 > 0:02:24She's not. You're so easy to wind up!

0:02:24 > 0:02:27In that case, thank you very much, it was delicious.

0:02:28 > 0:02:32- What? - It's just nice to see you smiling.

0:02:33 > 0:02:35I'm always smiling.

0:02:35 > 0:02:37Mrs Tembe, notes?

0:02:37 > 0:02:41Sorry, Dr Granger, I didn't see you. How are you...?

0:02:43 > 0:02:45I tell you, that man...

0:02:57 > 0:03:00The point is, it's easy for them to brag about it, isn't it?

0:03:00 > 0:03:04Nobody's ever going to check. I'm talking about the advertising.

0:03:04 > 0:03:09Whoever buys a light bulb, and then counts how long it's on for?

0:03:09 > 0:03:11They can claim whatever they like!

0:03:11 > 0:03:12Mind.

0:03:12 > 0:03:13Blind's stuck again.

0:03:13 > 0:03:15You need the knack.

0:03:15 > 0:03:18If you would? Mrs Hollins?

0:03:18 > 0:03:19A new one?

0:03:21 > 0:03:22Thank you.

0:03:25 > 0:03:27No need, I'm fine.

0:03:27 > 0:03:31Sure. But this way, if you come off, at least it's a soft landing.

0:03:31 > 0:03:34Oh, I thought you were somebody else.

0:03:34 > 0:03:36Melanie?

0:03:36 > 0:03:38You... You know this young lady?

0:03:38 > 0:03:40Course. What're you doing here?

0:03:40 > 0:03:42Sorry, Uncle Kev.

0:03:42 > 0:03:44You OK?

0:03:44 > 0:03:45Uncle?! You?

0:03:45 > 0:03:47She's my cousin's daughter.

0:03:47 > 0:03:49And she's 15, so chill yourself, yeah?

0:03:49 > 0:03:50What's up?

0:03:50 > 0:03:54It's Mum. I didn't know where else to go.

0:03:58 > 0:04:00Come on. Whatever it is, we can talk in here.

0:04:02 > 0:04:03Uncle Kevin?

0:04:05 > 0:04:07So it was just an argument? You had me worried.

0:04:07 > 0:04:09I thought it was serious.

0:04:09 > 0:04:11It is! Mum totally flipped.

0:04:11 > 0:04:14Telling me the sooner I left home, the better!

0:04:14 > 0:04:17I can't believe that, unless you did something wrong?

0:04:17 > 0:04:19Sorry...cuppa.

0:04:19 > 0:04:21All I wanted to do was go out.

0:04:21 > 0:04:24All my mates are going to this gig,

0:04:24 > 0:04:26only Mum's got me revising.

0:04:26 > 0:04:28It's all right for her, she's always out.

0:04:28 > 0:04:31And why's this gig so important?

0:04:31 > 0:04:35I met this boy. All my mates have boyfriends.

0:04:35 > 0:04:38They think I'm weird. Keep on posting, saying I'm a lez!

0:04:39 > 0:04:42And how does this boy fit in the picture?

0:04:42 > 0:04:45I just wanted to show them I'd got someone.

0:04:45 > 0:04:48Now Mum says I can't go, and they all reckon I made him up.

0:04:48 > 0:04:51How would you like it if your mates took the mick out of you?

0:04:51 > 0:04:54Have you spoken to your dad?

0:04:55 > 0:04:57He's always at work.

0:04:57 > 0:05:00OK. But I don't know what you think I can do?

0:05:00 > 0:05:04I don't know. But you've always, like, understood me.

0:05:04 > 0:05:08- Please, Uncle Kev... - OK, all right, OK.

0:05:08 > 0:05:11First, why not get yourself tidied up and I'll think about what I can do?

0:05:11 > 0:05:13Hey, I didn't say I'd come up with anything.

0:05:23 > 0:05:25What?

0:05:26 > 0:05:28Well, I'm taking a wild stab here -

0:05:28 > 0:05:33but I'm thinking teenage girls, tears, not your area of expertise?

0:05:33 > 0:05:34So?

0:05:34 > 0:05:38So, if I were you, I would dump her back on her mum, pronto.

0:05:38 > 0:05:41Mind...you've probably already decided to do that.

0:05:43 > 0:05:45See, that's where you're wrong.

0:05:48 > 0:05:51The thing is, it should be me spoiling you

0:05:51 > 0:05:54- for what you've done for Daniel. - It was no biggie.

0:05:54 > 0:05:57Next job's to make sure he gets there.

0:05:57 > 0:05:59You don't think that he will?

0:05:59 > 0:06:02Counselling's not exactly his thing. Anyway, I owe you.

0:06:04 > 0:06:06You could take me to see the film.

0:06:06 > 0:06:08Yeah, OK. Tomorrow?

0:06:09 > 0:06:10What's wrong with tonight?

0:06:10 > 0:06:12I can't, Daniel's asked to meet up.

0:06:14 > 0:06:15And you said "yes"?

0:06:15 > 0:06:17Yeah, why not?

0:06:17 > 0:06:20All it'll be is a few beers with a mate and a chat.

0:06:20 > 0:06:24You sure that that's wise? You know how you two get.

0:06:24 > 0:06:27And the state that he's in, getting him drunk...

0:06:27 > 0:06:28Is that such a good idea?

0:06:28 > 0:06:32Then again, night out with a mate could be exactly what he needs.

0:06:32 > 0:06:34See ya.

0:06:36 > 0:06:42What's a naevus poster...oh... I can't say the next bit.

0:06:42 > 0:06:43A what?

0:06:43 > 0:06:45Whatever it is, it sounds gross!

0:06:45 > 0:06:47Oi! That's confidential.

0:06:47 > 0:06:50Be totally awkward if I found one of my teachers on here.

0:06:50 > 0:06:52Well, you won't. Go on, clear off!

0:06:54 > 0:06:57Didn't take you long to cheer up, did it?

0:06:57 > 0:06:59OK, sorted. You're staying at mine.

0:06:59 > 0:07:02Your mum agreed it'll give you both some breathing room.

0:07:02 > 0:07:04- For real?- Just for tonight.

0:07:04 > 0:07:06I'll drop you round lunchtime.

0:07:06 > 0:07:10- Excuse me, aren't you forgetting school? She's got exams coming up. - One day won't hurt.

0:07:11 > 0:07:15- And in the meantime? - What if I said you could go shopping?

0:07:15 > 0:07:17I haven't got any money.

0:07:23 > 0:07:25And stay in touch.

0:07:25 > 0:07:27Oh. Well, my phone's out of credit.

0:07:29 > 0:07:31Thanks. You're the best.

0:07:36 > 0:07:37Amateur.

0:07:40 > 0:07:42Ah, the rota,

0:07:42 > 0:07:46the only facet of life more intangible than the Higgs boson.

0:07:46 > 0:07:50- I can't make head nor tail. - I'd only confuse matters.

0:07:50 > 0:07:54Mr Bellamy, your analytical skills are urgently required.

0:07:54 > 0:07:57I need you to help me unpick a few things,

0:07:57 > 0:08:01get down to the nitty-gritty...of the rota.

0:08:01 > 0:08:02Ah.

0:08:02 > 0:08:04What did you think I meant?

0:08:05 > 0:08:07I'll pop by later, shall I?

0:08:09 > 0:08:12That woman is a ray of sunshine.

0:08:12 > 0:08:17I know it's non-PC to say it, but it's a delight to see a lady

0:08:17 > 0:08:19so well turned out.

0:08:19 > 0:08:20I hadn't noticed.

0:08:31 > 0:08:32PHONE RINGS

0:08:36 > 0:08:39Hiya.

0:08:39 > 0:08:41No, I told you, it's all sorted.

0:08:44 > 0:08:45Of course I want to.

0:08:46 > 0:08:50No. Asa, it's what I want, too.

0:08:52 > 0:08:53I'd tell you if it wasn't...

0:09:10 > 0:09:13- You think I won't go? - I didn't say that.

0:09:13 > 0:09:15I said I would, and I will.

0:09:15 > 0:09:18Good. I know you're not exactly looking forward to it but...

0:09:18 > 0:09:20You just make sure you're there for the debrief, all right?

0:09:20 > 0:09:22Because I'm gonna need that drink.

0:09:27 > 0:09:31- Not worried it'll cramp your style? - She'll be fine.

0:09:31 > 0:09:34I don't know why people keep banging on about how difficult kids are.

0:09:34 > 0:09:36- All you have to do is talk to them. - What're her parents like?

0:09:36 > 0:09:40Boring. Their mistake was settling down too young.

0:09:40 > 0:09:42Well, they had to because of...

0:09:42 > 0:09:45- So they're the hassled parents, and you're the cool uncle?- Hey!

0:09:45 > 0:09:48There's a world of difference when you've got them 24/7.

0:09:48 > 0:09:50Rubbish, it'll be fun.

0:09:50 > 0:09:53Glad you think so, cos the fun's already started.

0:10:03 > 0:10:05Have you any idea how embarrassing this is?

0:10:05 > 0:10:08- I've got to go back and explain this to my colleagues.- Sorry.

0:10:08 > 0:10:12- You're lucky the shop didn't want to press charges.- I know.

0:10:12 > 0:10:15So, come on then...stealing, underage drinking? What's going on?

0:10:15 > 0:10:18- I... I just wasn't thinking. - Clearly.

0:10:20 > 0:10:22- I just... - What?

0:10:22 > 0:10:26Well...it's all this stuff with Mum...

0:10:26 > 0:10:28I just wanted to blot it out.

0:10:28 > 0:10:30By drinking yourself blind?

0:10:30 > 0:10:34I know...you must think I'm a right kid, but...

0:10:34 > 0:10:36I didn't know what else to do.

0:10:38 > 0:10:41I didn't mean to embarrass you.

0:10:41 > 0:10:43If you want me to go home, I will.

0:10:46 > 0:10:49It's OK. Come on.

0:10:53 > 0:10:55- Wireless? - All hooked to my console.

0:10:55 > 0:10:59So tonight, I get to whup you at any game you choose.

0:11:02 > 0:11:05Sorry, mate, if it's electricity, I've already switched.

0:11:05 > 0:11:07Anything else, I'm not interested.

0:11:09 > 0:11:11What're you doing here?

0:11:11 > 0:11:15Just dropping my stuff off, then I'm back to work.

0:11:15 > 0:11:17- How you doing? - You know him?

0:11:17 > 0:11:19Hang on, what's going on?

0:11:19 > 0:11:22Sorry, Uncle Kev. This is Asa, my boyfriend.

0:11:22 > 0:11:24We're going to that gig tonight.

0:11:24 > 0:11:27Yeah, that's right. Neat place.

0:11:27 > 0:11:29Ta for letting me crash. Appreciate it.

0:11:29 > 0:11:31A word.

0:11:37 > 0:11:39I thought you arriving was spur of the moment?

0:11:39 > 0:11:41It is, then I called Asa.

0:11:41 > 0:11:43To invite him to stay?

0:11:43 > 0:11:46Yeah, sorry. My bad. I should've said.

0:11:46 > 0:11:50ASKED is the word. Does your mum know about him?

0:11:50 > 0:11:52- Course. - I don't get it.

0:11:52 > 0:11:54You were moaning before about her not letting you out.

0:11:54 > 0:11:57She doesn't in the week, but she's OK about me and Asa.

0:11:57 > 0:11:59Even though he's...how old is he?

0:11:59 > 0:12:0120.

0:12:01 > 0:12:03Oh, come on Uncle Kev, I never had you down as boring.

0:12:03 > 0:12:05- I'm not. - So you don't mind, then?

0:12:08 > 0:12:11No... It's cool.

0:12:11 > 0:12:12Great.

0:12:20 > 0:12:21I'm on my way out.

0:12:24 > 0:12:28Do you think you and Jimmi going out later is such a good idea?

0:12:28 > 0:12:30What's it got to do with you?

0:12:30 > 0:12:34Why d'you think? You might let something slip.

0:12:35 > 0:12:36Oh, I see.

0:12:36 > 0:12:40Warning me off is actually you doing me a favour, is that it?

0:12:40 > 0:12:43I think that you should tell him that you can't make it.

0:12:43 > 0:12:47You're something else. I'm going to see a shrink.

0:12:47 > 0:12:48That's not enough, is it?

0:12:48 > 0:12:51Now you want me to blank the only friend who might get me through this.

0:12:51 > 0:12:53He's my husband first.

0:12:53 > 0:12:56It's a shame you didn't remember that when your hand was down my trousers.

0:12:56 > 0:12:58KNOCK ON DOOR

0:12:58 > 0:13:02- Yup? - Hi. Just returning this.

0:13:02 > 0:13:04- Cheers. - Everything OK?

0:13:04 > 0:13:08Just a disagreement over a patient. All sorted now though, isn't it?

0:13:20 > 0:13:23- Before you say anything... - Actually, you've got a visitor.

0:13:24 > 0:13:29Kevin, long time! Way, way too long!

0:13:29 > 0:13:31Belinda!

0:13:33 > 0:13:35I've just dropped Melanie back at mine,

0:13:35 > 0:13:38but it's great to see you. You've...changed your hair.

0:13:38 > 0:13:40I figured I deserved it.

0:13:40 > 0:13:4315 years of putting myself second, about time I had a life too.

0:13:43 > 0:13:47Besides, I'm not exactly going to be in the game if I look a frump, am I?

0:13:47 > 0:13:49Sorry, "In the game"?

0:13:49 > 0:13:53- Oh, my god! Paul hasn't told you... - What?

0:13:53 > 0:13:56Our marriage. Officially, we're on a trial separation.

0:13:56 > 0:13:58Truth is, it's over.

0:13:58 > 0:14:01You're kidding? I always thought you two were for ever.

0:14:01 > 0:14:04You mean we were that good at hiding things?

0:14:04 > 0:14:06Kevin, there never was a marriage.

0:14:06 > 0:14:08Mel's the only reason it happened.

0:14:08 > 0:14:11- But she hasn't said a word. - Probably cos she don't know.

0:14:11 > 0:14:14She must know something's wrong, she's pretty mixed-up.

0:14:14 > 0:14:16And I'll tell her. It's just...

0:14:17 > 0:14:19I've got to accept it myself first.

0:14:21 > 0:14:22Of course. Sorry.

0:14:24 > 0:14:26That explains why you two have been arguing.

0:14:26 > 0:14:27Yeah, that must be it.

0:14:27 > 0:14:30She thought you were just dead set against her going out.

0:14:30 > 0:14:33I am. Sleepover at her mate's when she should be revising -

0:14:33 > 0:14:34I don't think so!

0:14:34 > 0:14:36I thought she was going to a gig?

0:14:36 > 0:14:39Gig? Mel? Come off it.

0:14:39 > 0:14:42She's still the little bookworm she always was.

0:14:43 > 0:14:46- So...no boyfriend? - No way!

0:14:46 > 0:14:49No. I'm not having her wasting her life the same way I did,

0:14:49 > 0:14:52which brings me on to the little favour I wanted to ask you.

0:14:52 > 0:14:54- Favour? - I know it's cheeky,

0:14:54 > 0:14:57- but is there any way you can have her till the weekend?- Ah...

0:14:57 > 0:15:00You see, the thing is, I've met a bloke. You'll love him.

0:15:00 > 0:15:02- Neville, he's a right scream. - A bloke?

0:15:02 > 0:15:05Bit of a charmer, too. Wants to take me off to Venice for a few nights.

0:15:05 > 0:15:08Hang on. I thought you were still getting over your marriage?

0:15:08 > 0:15:11I am. It's just, isn't it what they always say?

0:15:11 > 0:15:12"When you fall off a horse,

0:15:12 > 0:15:14"the best thing to do is to get right back on."

0:15:14 > 0:15:17Besides I've never been to La Bella Italia.

0:15:17 > 0:15:20Come on, Kevin. Please.

0:15:27 > 0:15:29Didn't expect to see this place again.

0:15:29 > 0:15:30Take a seat.

0:15:30 > 0:15:34Not much has changed, except this. This new, or have you just moved it?

0:15:34 > 0:15:38Daniel, this is patently uncomfortable - especially for a GP.

0:15:38 > 0:15:43So the important thing is we go at your pace. OK?

0:15:45 > 0:15:46Yeah.

0:15:56 > 0:15:58How are things at home?

0:15:59 > 0:16:04Being a parent again, has that been how you expected?

0:16:04 > 0:16:05Does anyone know what to expect?

0:16:07 > 0:16:08How is Joe?

0:16:10 > 0:16:12And Zara?

0:16:17 > 0:16:20I'm sorry, this is a mistake. I shouldn't have come.

0:16:20 > 0:16:21Oh?

0:16:21 > 0:16:24Yes, being a parent again has been difficult,

0:16:24 > 0:16:26but it's nothing that I can't sort myself.

0:16:26 > 0:16:29Good. Taking control is good.

0:16:29 > 0:16:31I'm sorry for wasting your time.

0:16:31 > 0:16:33Although, by the same token,

0:16:33 > 0:16:36refusing to accept a problem is a major negative.

0:16:36 > 0:16:38I'm not. I just said.

0:16:40 > 0:16:42You also came here, Daniel.

0:16:42 > 0:16:46Whatever it is, it's important enough to seek help.

0:16:47 > 0:16:49I was wrong.

0:16:49 > 0:16:50What changed your mind?

0:16:53 > 0:16:56Daniel, the first step towards recovery is

0:16:56 > 0:16:59when a person asks for help.

0:16:59 > 0:17:00That's original.

0:17:00 > 0:17:04It means they still care about their own health and well-being.

0:17:05 > 0:17:08Presumably that's what brought you here today.

0:17:10 > 0:17:13Well, you came here wanting something.

0:17:13 > 0:17:18If not for yourself, then for Zara, maybe?

0:17:20 > 0:17:22Or for your son?

0:17:31 > 0:17:35She told me her mum didn't mind, little liar.

0:17:35 > 0:17:38Then there's this.

0:17:39 > 0:17:42It's her first time. So are you going to let them?

0:17:42 > 0:17:46No... I don't know.

0:17:46 > 0:17:47Well, you'd better decide.

0:17:47 > 0:17:50Cos I'll tell you this much, she's playing you for all she's worth.

0:17:50 > 0:17:52OK. All right, what do I do?

0:17:52 > 0:17:55Send her back to her parents, let them sort it.

0:17:55 > 0:17:57Yeah, like they'll be any help! Dad's gone,

0:17:57 > 0:17:58Mum's acting like she's 18 again -

0:17:58 > 0:18:01they're more immature than she is.

0:18:01 > 0:18:03Besides, I'm not going to grass on her.

0:18:03 > 0:18:05Well, tell her "no" yourself.

0:18:05 > 0:18:09She only came to me because she thinks she can trust me.

0:18:09 > 0:18:13Oh, I get it. This is about your ego.

0:18:13 > 0:18:14No.

0:18:14 > 0:18:18But if she thinks I'm against her as well, who's she got left to talk to?

0:18:18 > 0:18:21Kevin, she didn't come to talk.

0:18:22 > 0:18:24OK, what if things go wrong?

0:18:24 > 0:18:26She'll need someone she can trust.

0:18:26 > 0:18:28To do what? Let her get away with whatever she wants?

0:18:28 > 0:18:30She's old enough to make her own decisions.

0:18:30 > 0:18:34- And you think sleeping with this lad is her own decision?- Isn't it?

0:18:34 > 0:18:37You saw her wall. Some of that stuff is pretty vicious.

0:18:38 > 0:18:39They're just girls.

0:18:39 > 0:18:42It's bullying, Kevin, and she's 15.

0:18:42 > 0:18:45So unless you're sure she's doing this for the right reasons,

0:18:45 > 0:18:48you've got to decide what's more important - your cred,

0:18:48 > 0:18:49or that girl's well-being?

0:18:54 > 0:18:58The days when I had Joe, when it was my turn,

0:18:58 > 0:19:01I'd wake up with this...cloud.

0:19:02 > 0:19:06And I'd pray that Zara would make an excuse to stay home,

0:19:06 > 0:19:09or forget that it was my turn.

0:19:11 > 0:19:14Anything rather than being left alone with him.

0:19:17 > 0:19:18And if that didn't happen...

0:19:20 > 0:19:21Did you tell Zara this?

0:19:24 > 0:19:25Why not?

0:19:27 > 0:19:30And admit that I was the one struggling?

0:19:32 > 0:19:34Would that've been such a bad thing?

0:19:35 > 0:19:39Why was talking to Zara so difficult for you?

0:19:43 > 0:19:47Erm...because I was scared.

0:19:49 > 0:19:55That she'd think it wasn't Joe...rejecting me...

0:19:56 > 0:19:58..but me rejecting them.

0:20:01 > 0:20:02And were you?

0:20:02 > 0:20:04I don't know.

0:20:10 > 0:20:13What are you doing here? I thought you weren't coming till later?

0:20:13 > 0:20:14Couldn't stay away.

0:20:15 > 0:20:17Hey, it's OK here, isn't it?

0:20:18 > 0:20:20Some neat stuff.

0:20:20 > 0:20:25Yeah. Uncle Kevin's got some great DVD's, we could watch one?

0:20:27 > 0:20:29I'd rather watch you take that top off.

0:20:32 > 0:20:33Come here, sexy.

0:20:43 > 0:20:45I want you to do something.

0:20:46 > 0:20:49You say it's often just you and Joe.

0:20:49 > 0:20:52I want you to think of an occasion and describe it.

0:20:54 > 0:20:57Is this absolutely necessary?

0:20:57 > 0:20:58Where is Joe?

0:21:04 > 0:21:09He's on his play-mat and...I'm in my chair.

0:21:09 > 0:21:12Let's say he starts to cry.

0:21:12 > 0:21:15What now? Do you go to him?

0:21:15 > 0:21:18BABY CRIES

0:21:18 > 0:21:22Sometimes...not that he wants me to.

0:21:25 > 0:21:26Sometimes it just makes it worse.

0:21:28 > 0:21:30- Worse?- Yeah.

0:21:32 > 0:21:36Because he doesn't want me...he's pushing me away.

0:21:39 > 0:21:40He just wants his mum.

0:21:42 > 0:21:44BABY SCREAMS

0:21:46 > 0:21:48How's that make you feel?

0:21:50 > 0:21:52Like I'm not really his dad...

0:21:53 > 0:21:56..because if I was, then I'd be able to cope.

0:21:57 > 0:22:01Is that what you think? That you should be able to cope?

0:22:01 > 0:22:02What do you think?

0:22:02 > 0:22:06You think other parents always cope?

0:22:06 > 0:22:07Shut up!

0:22:07 > 0:22:08BABY CRIES

0:22:08 > 0:22:11Shut up! SHUT UP!

0:22:11 > 0:22:12Other parents don't...

0:22:14 > 0:22:15Don't...?

0:22:16 > 0:22:17Daniel?

0:22:19 > 0:22:23Nothing. It's erm...nothing.

0:22:25 > 0:22:27OK, good. You've done well.

0:22:31 > 0:22:33We'll fix up another appointment.

0:22:35 > 0:22:39In the meantime, you may wish to talk to your GP about medication.

0:22:52 > 0:22:56Erm... Maybe we should put some music on?

0:22:56 > 0:22:58Whatever you want, babes.

0:23:00 > 0:23:03Now, how about...you get the rest of this off?

0:23:07 > 0:23:09Do you get off on teasing me? Hmm?

0:23:16 > 0:23:18Asa...no...

0:23:18 > 0:23:19DOOR CLOSES

0:23:19 > 0:23:21Asa...

0:23:21 > 0:23:24- Uncle Kevin!- What the hell are you doing?! No, don't answer that!

0:23:24 > 0:23:26Sorry...I thought...

0:23:26 > 0:23:28What? That this is OK!? You, get decent.

0:23:28 > 0:23:30- You, get out!- Yes.

0:23:34 > 0:23:36Thanks! How awk was that!

0:23:38 > 0:23:39OK, we shouldn't have been in here...

0:23:39 > 0:23:41You shouldn't have been anywhere, not like that!

0:23:41 > 0:23:43Sorry, I just thought you'd be OK with it.

0:23:43 > 0:23:46- Well, I'm not. You've taken me for a mug.- No.- Yes.

0:23:46 > 0:23:48No. I just thought you'd be cool with it.

0:23:48 > 0:23:50You always got me more than Mum and Dad.

0:23:50 > 0:23:53- Way you're going on, you sound just like them!- Maybe I am!

0:23:53 > 0:23:57What? So all that taking my side, what was that?

0:23:57 > 0:23:59You're just making out you're better than them?

0:23:59 > 0:24:01No.

0:24:01 > 0:24:03I don't know....

0:24:03 > 0:24:07Listen, Melanie, I am on your side.

0:24:07 > 0:24:09- But not if it means seeing you get hurt.- Who said I was?

0:24:09 > 0:24:12I've read your wall, what the other girls have written.

0:24:12 > 0:24:13What?!

0:24:13 > 0:24:15Kill me now!

0:24:16 > 0:24:18They didn't mean it.

0:24:18 > 0:24:20So that's not why you set all this up?

0:24:20 > 0:24:22No...

0:24:22 > 0:24:26Melanie, tell me straight, is this what you really want?

0:24:27 > 0:24:28Yeah, I mean...

0:24:28 > 0:24:29KNOCK ON DOOR

0:24:31 > 0:24:33Excuse me.

0:24:35 > 0:24:36Could you just..?

0:24:38 > 0:24:40Thank you.

0:24:43 > 0:24:46So, the gig, you coming? No point in missing it, right?

0:24:48 > 0:24:50No, you go.

0:24:57 > 0:24:59It wasn't cos of what you said.

0:24:59 > 0:25:00He was getting too clingy.

0:25:02 > 0:25:04Not like any of them will believe that.

0:25:04 > 0:25:07And what your mates think matters, does it?

0:25:07 > 0:25:14Melanie, listen. Thing is - when people your age brag,

0:25:14 > 0:25:16most of the time, that's what it is.

0:25:16 > 0:25:18Them making things up to impress their mates.

0:25:18 > 0:25:20Yeah, like you'd know anything about it!

0:25:20 > 0:25:24I do, because...that's what I did.

0:25:25 > 0:25:27What? You lied about..?

0:25:27 > 0:25:29Well, I wasn't going to be the only one left out.

0:25:30 > 0:25:32So how old were you?

0:25:34 > 0:25:37- 19.- Oh, my god!

0:25:37 > 0:25:42OK. All right! But if anyone else finds out, I know it came from you.

0:25:42 > 0:25:45What I'm trying to say is, it didn't do me any harm.

0:25:47 > 0:25:49And you can always make up for it later on.

0:25:52 > 0:25:54So what are we going to do now?

0:25:54 > 0:25:57Are you going to tell Mum?

0:25:57 > 0:26:00- No. On one condition. - What?

0:26:00 > 0:26:02No more messing about.

0:26:02 > 0:26:04You think you're an adult, start behaving like one.

0:26:04 > 0:26:07- I'm sorry.- Hey.

0:26:14 > 0:26:17- Take-away? - They pushed it through the door.

0:26:17 > 0:26:19I've been meaning to show you. They do everything.

0:26:19 > 0:26:22- They do Thai, Chinese...they even do beers.- I can get beer at the pub.

0:26:22 > 0:26:24Why do you want to sit in some dingy pub

0:26:24 > 0:26:27when you and Daniel can come to ours? I'll make us some nibbles.

0:26:27 > 0:26:29It'll be a nice night for all of us.

0:26:29 > 0:26:32No, you're definitely missing the point. It's supposed to be a lad's night.

0:26:32 > 0:26:34It doesn't have to be.

0:26:34 > 0:26:37Cherry, I love you dearly, but you don't qualify.

0:26:37 > 0:26:38KNOCK ON DOOR

0:26:38 > 0:26:40- Taxi's here. - How did it go?

0:26:40 > 0:26:41Fine.

0:26:41 > 0:26:44I was just suggesting to Jimmi...

0:26:44 > 0:26:46I think we've knocked that idea on the head.

0:26:46 > 0:26:48Listen, I'll try not to wake you.

0:26:48 > 0:26:51Why don't you get a take-away for yourself? Give it a trial run.

0:26:51 > 0:26:53- Yeah. - Have a good night.

0:26:53 > 0:26:55You too.

0:27:00 > 0:27:04Remember "Dare to care"...

0:27:05 > 0:27:08There is a slight decrease in your heart rate.

0:27:08 > 0:27:10I usually make her heart beat faster.
