Ocean's POV

"I don't think I can take much more of this... I honestly think I'm dying" Michael groans. "I'm not suprised. Tony said you and Ray were doing shots the whole night"

"That was nice of him" he mumbles and starts picking at his breakfast. "You know. If it wasn't for him texting me last night to tell me you were a mess, I wouldn't have known to come get you" I point out. "Alot of things would be different if it wasn't for him" he mumbles and I don't say anything for a moment.

"How long are you gonna keep doing this? You clearly wanna make amends with him and..."

"Well it's not gonna happened is it?" He frowns then backtracks what he just said "I just mean. I was only nice to him last night because you told me too... And why does he have your number anyway?"

"Because you refused to give him yours when we were trying to work out a good time for Timmy to see Mikey"

"That was 2 weeks ago. You should have blocked it by now" he frowns. "Michael, I understand you feeling this way, but you can't keep punishing him for something he did when you were like 10"

"You say it like it was just some minor thing, like he smashed a window or something"

"I know it's not and I completely understand how your feeling, but Tony doesn't. He doesn't know everything that happened after..."

"Like he cares" he sighs, rolling his eyes. "Maybe you should talk to him  If he knew then maybe he'd..."

"I'm not telling him shit. It's not like I can just go over there and tell him even if I wanted to" he shrugs. "Maybe he can come with you to one of your therapy sessions? It'll be a safer inviroment for you"

"Not gonna happen" he shakes his head. "I don't need to speak to him or take him to any therapy sessions with me. What I need is for him to hurry up and fly back to Indiana so we can get back to normal" he frowns.

"You were kids. And he made a mistake. Just like you have countless times and.."

"But I didn't do anything wrong that time. HE did! and.."

"And you got the blame and everything else that happened after that I know, but he doesn't know all that and he is trying. Can't you aleast meet him half way?"

"We're never gonna be friends again so what's the point? It's best to just leave it alone. Nothings gonna change by me talking to Tony"

"But it's still something that's hanging over you" I say softly and he doesn't say anything.

"Michael, I'm not bringing this up just to nag and get at you. I'm saying it because this is something you need to do. You need to talk to Tony and at least try and make amends with him because it's not fair to keep treating him the way you have. I'm not saying you have to become best friends or start hanging out, but you do need to talk to him. Because until you do all this anger and hatred you have is never gonna go away. Will you at least think about what I said?" I say softly and he doesn't say anything for a moment then nods.

"I'll think about it, but I'm not saying it's a yes"

"Will you really think about it? Or are you just saying that to shut me up and are gonna say no?"

"It's both" he shrugs and gets up from his seat and pecks my lips. "But, I promise. I'll think about it" he smiles and pecks my lips again.

"MOMMY!!! DADDY!!!" DJ screeches, rushing into the room. "Veah, took my car!!"

"That's not a reason to scream... jeez!" Michael says, rubbing his temple. "But she won't give it back! And she bit me!" He frowns, folding his arms "I'll go deal with her" Michael says, getting up from his seat. "Lets throw her away" DJ suggests. "Nobody's getting thrown away" Michael sighs and goes into the living room to see to Veah.
