Start from the beginning
                                    

"B- But I did. And it hurts s- so much."

"I know. There are some things that you don't get over, ever."

"I hate this."

"Hate what?"

"The fact that my family walks on eggshells around me. They treat me as if they're just waiting for me to snap. One small thing and boom."

"They love you, darling. I'm sure. Dylan loves you, I know that, at least."

"Yeah, he does. He can be an annoying little sh*t but he never forgets to check up on me twice a day everyday. He checks up on me more than dad does."

"You're very fond of him, aren't you?"

"Yeah, don't let him hear this or I'll never hear the end of it, but he's the best brother, ever."

"I can hear it in your voice. Your smile."

"You know, sometimes I feel guilty, for not being there for him. He deserves a big brother who he can depend on, who he can come to for advice. Not some f*ck up like me."

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

"D- Dyl-"

"Can I join you on the floor?"

"Yeah."

"Scoot over."

"I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"Okay."

"Stranger?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm not mad at you anymore, okay?"

"Okay."

.....................

"Why are you still up?"

"I just got home."

"You went out?"

"Yeah, I felt like taking a walk after dinner."

"Dinner was hours ago Dylan. Are you sure, everything's okay?"

"I may have lost track of time at the park?"

"You went to the park?"

"Yeah. To our place."

"Oh."

"You were talking to her again?"

"Yeah."

"You like her, don't you?"

"She's engaged."

"You didn't deny my question."
