"HOW'S MY BLAIR CAKES DOING?" irene said, coming into blair's house. ryan was trailing behind her, looking around the house he had only been in once. "she's feeling a bit better, but still insanely sick." dylan said.

"my poor girl." irene said, running up the stairs of blair's house. "blair i'm coming, i missed you!" she spoke.

ryan walked up to dylan, who was just standing in the middle of the living room. "you're a good boyfriend."

"what?"

"you're a good boyfriend."

"so what. so are you?" dylan said. "nah ? i don't know about that. irene and i have been arguing lately."

"what, why?"

"i don't know. i've just been stressed out, annoyed. i've kind of been taking it out on her and i feel like a jerk. then don't tell her i told you this but...she's jealous of you and blair." ryan said.

"jealous of blair and i?" dylan said in disbelief. "yeah that's what i last argument was about." ryan said.

"why is she jealous of her best friend?" dylan said. "no, not of blair. of you and blair, your relationship." ryan said.

"i still don't understand why."

"for only two months in our relationship we did the couple stuff, cute things, the things that you and blair do for example. but then after that, i don't know, they just stopped. we go on dates and stuff, but i don't know...i don't —  i don't flirt with her. i don't take her to grand places. i don't the things you do for blair. all romantic, all sweet."

"you can tell you care, that's just not me man. i don't know how to use my words. you're better at it than me. so of using my words, i just kiss her instead of me and we just end up making out." ryan sighed.

"you're a great boyfriend because you care enough about your girlfriend who you've barely been dating for a month so much that you skip school to take care of her when she's sick that, you take her on a trip to a art museum because she used to want to be an artist, you walk her home at night because it's cold and you don't want anything to happen to her."

"the thing is out of all those things that i just mentioned i will only ever do the last one. my brain wouldn't think like that."

"so sometimes yeah i'm jealous of you and blair too. i feel like irene and i both are. it's breaking apart our relationship too."

"she makes me happier than anything in this world, and i love her, and i care about her so much. i just wish that i could show that but i don't know how, i guess that's just not the guy i am. i don't know how to show that stuff and i feel bad for her. she deserves way more than a jerk like me."

"ryan, you're not a jerk." dylan said. "you just. don't know how to speak your mind, and you're not a crazy romantic, i think she knows that." he spoke.

"i think she wants a crazy romantic! i just cant be that guy." ryan said. "you guys might be having a rough patch, but you've been dating for 2 years, it's bound to happen." dylan said.

"i'll help you, don't worry man. just next time, don't let your anger out at me, you betrayed me when you guys got together so you lost that ability to be mad at me a while ago." he said.

"oh are you seriously still on this, you're dating blair now!" ryan said. "i was a really hurt eight grader." dylan said, putting his hand on his chest.

"also one that blew his chance with his crush because he was mad he was rejected." ryan said. "that was seventh grade."

"same thing."
