Ethan hugs Joe

Joe: Hey dude.

Ethan: Man I missed you so much!

Joe: Missed you too dude.

Joe gets to Elijah

Joe: Who's this?

Beau: This is Elijah, Eli. He's my boyfriend.

Joe: Wait you're gay?

Beau: Bisexual.

Joe: Jeez, I have missed a lot.

Adele: Don't worry, we'll catch you up on everything later.

Joe notices Ethans leg

Joe: Hey dude, you got your prosthetic!

Ethan: Yeah! And no crutches too.

Joe: That's amazing. And Dem you're able to stand now too.

Demi: Physio w-works wonders.

Ethan: It really does.

Both laugh

Kayla: Should we go sit at our table?

Demi: Yeah, m-my legs ache.

Ethan: And mine.

All go and sit down

Joe: I'm guessing you guys wanna know how rehab was.

Adele: Just a bit curious.

Joe: Well to answer the question that I know what you're all thinking...Yes I'm clean. No more smoking or alcohol.

Ethan: Well done dude.

Demi: I'm s-so proud of you.

Joe: Thanks Dem.

He kisses her on the forehead

Elijah: Wait so what did you do there other than get clean?

Joe: Mainly group therapy. One on one too. Lots of therapy basically to try and replace the drinking with a hobbie.

Kayla: Sounds like hell.

Demi: Kayla!?

Joe: (laughs softly) It was to be honest in the first two months. But it got a lot easier as time went on. I feel like I changed a lot too in those months.

Adele: You do seem different.

Joe: You think?

Demi: Y-you look happier.

Joe: Well that, is because I'm at my prom, with my amazing girlfriend and friends.

Demi: Eh, I g-guess that helps a bit.

All laugh

"Unwell" by Matchbox Twenty starts playing...

Demi: I love this s-song.

Demi sitting admiring it

Joe: Dem, do you wanna dance?

Demi: Sure.
