Mom
Hey son, how are things? How's Andrea?

Tyler
Not good mom, really not good

Mom
Tyler, she just lost her father

Tyler
I know, but she's just becoming more and more distant everyday

Mom
She needs time

Tyler
It's been a week since the funeral
And I know she needs more time than that, but I'm worried about her

Mom
What are you avoiding telling me?

Tyler
She's started to drink
Like, really bad

Mom
It's a coping mechanism
The pain is too much for her Tyler

Tyler
But I don't understand how!
She has so many people, how can she be so selfish?

Mom
Tyler!
She just lost a parent! She will never get that back! She's not being selfish, she's hurting, there's a difference

Tyler
I guess

Mom
Well you guessed right
Tell her we're sorry we missed the funeral

Tyler
Will do
I love you mom

Mom
I love you too

How's she holding up?

Tyler
She's still drinking

Tanner
Christ
Have you tried talking to her?
Nvm that's a stupid question

Tyler
Yeah, it is

Tanner
Just give her time

Tyler
I know, I know

Sebastian
She isn't picking up my calls again!?

Tyler
Probably because she's drunk off her ass

Sebastian
She's a sad depressed drunk, not a stupid drunk, she can pick up a damn phone

Tyler
She clearly can't

Sebastian
I sense the tone of bitterness
What's up?

Tyler
How can we get her to stop drinking?

Sebastian
She needs time, and people
Didn't you see her at the funeral? There was so many people, and she kept smiling and thanking people for their condolences, when in reality she should've been having a breakdown
She needs a good cry

Tyler
Well how do we get that to happen?

Sebastian
Time
And don't tell me you're that impatient

Tyler
I'm not

Sebastian
Oh you so are
I wish I could be there, just tell her I love her

Tyler
Will do, thanks Sebastian

Sebastian
Anytime
