You always come Sunday...

[ It's the only time they're all together. Even if he's feeling a little frustrated, which is admittedly odd for him, he doesn't want to not see Declan. ]

[son_of_a_dreamer]

Neither of you want me there. Maybe I can take that time and do some more contemplating about why Ronan doesn't like me.

[dreamthing]

You have to come.

And you wouldn't like you if you were Ronan either.

But he still would want you to be there.

[son_of_a_dreamer]

I wouldn't be Ronan because I realize the value of working hard and being responsible, and trying to keep a family together. If those are things the two of you don't like, then I'm not sure why I bother.

[dreamthing]

If it's such a bother maybe you should stop.

[son_of_a_dreamer]

You have no idea how anything works, Matthew. Up until now I thought you at least tried to understand, tried to work with me, actually cared about this family. I have done everything I can to keep this family together and you both really don't care.

You're right. I should stop. But I can't, because I care about you both too much.

[dreamthing]

You actually think we don't care? That I don't care?

I don't want to talk anymore right now.

[ Now they're both upset it seems and Matthew wants to escape the uncomfortable conversation that he's not sure how to handle. ]

You want him to be like you and he's not. That doesn't mean he doesn't care.

[son_of_a_dreamer]

You're not really showing a whole lot of care right now, no.

Of course you don't, because you know I'm right.

I don't want him to be like me, I want him to think. And I want you to stop getting high. I don't think these are unreasonable things to ask for. You always hated that crap and I'm not sure what's going on with you, but I don't like it. This isn't you, Matthew.

[dreamthing]

Talk to you Sunday.

I love you.

And so does Ronan.

[son_of_a_dreamer]

We're definitely going to talk on Sunday. Don't think this is over.


Love you too.
