i-i'm a real boy!

If you want her to love you forever, I’d say yes. 

Hey, she already loves me a lot.

Shh, don’t say that Mason, it sounds creepy. [giggles] Some ice cream, and time with good friends is really all I need, I promise. 

Should I get some for Darcy too?

It feels like it has been! I know more about Woody these days, then I do you. I have no idea what’s going on in your life besides what I head in the streets about you and those girls. [nods softly] I know.. and that’s what I used to defend you anytime someone has ever said you just don’t have time for me anymore.. I k-know you’re like that, and I should have dont something about it. [frowns looking up at him glaring] I didn’t c-come here for judgement, Mason. He was drunk, a-and it was a mistake.. 

Well there isn't anything going on in my life at all. Those girls? You make them sound like trash. Okay, no, I'm not some guy that brings random girls home like you're making me out to be. I'm not that bad guy, Cleo. 'Those girls' just so happened to be my friends here, two of them were my first friends here when you were off wherever you were doing whatever. I'm not judging you, I'm just giving you my honest opinion about it. I shouldn't be talking, really, but I never slept with someone... Is that what he told you? He was drunk? That's the number one excuse during this situation. I've been drunk plenty of times and unless he had about ten... twenty drinks I think he could have known what he was doing. [His voice softens] Does he really make you happy? That's all I want for you.

Well you can’t read my mind, Mason. Of course you wouldn’t know when my birthday is. [smiles a bit] Ice cream would be great, you really don’t have to get me anything more then that to get me to smile. 

Yeah, but there's other ways to find that stuff out, Rosie. Just ice cream? That's it? That's all you want for your birthday?

But i’m not… I talk about you all the time to Buzz, and .. a-and, he finally responded telling me how you haven’t spoken a word to me in months.. that’s when it hit me, I’m not important anymore.. you’re gonna do fine without me.. [shakes her head] That’s where you’re wrong, I do need you. I d-don’t know how to do any ot this stuff, or deal with it. S-Stop, it’s my f-fault. [shakes her head again] I’m.. I d-didn’t leave him.. I mean, I’m giving him another change.. one away from h-here.. [shrugs] I d-din’t know.. so I played it safe, and just let you b-be.. 

You're exaggerating, it hasn't been months... it's only been three weeks... Things happen... I work a lot, you know me... I hide away in my apartment when I'm not working. I won't, though. I wasn't fine without you before you got here and I won't be fine when you leave me a-again. It's not your fault, none if it is. It's all mine... I close myself off too often. Y-you're... o-oh... you're going to stay with him after he had sex with someone who wasn't you? Nice. Well, I hope you're happy with him I guess.

I c-can’t help it. I used to be so important to you, and you so important to me, and .. l-look. [nods softly] Y-you seem to know things in their life.. or are there when they need s-someone.. I just .. w-wish I had that s-still.. I mean you’re in the same c-circus as me, and i.. I miss you more then a-anything.. and I don’t e-expect you to drop them.. I get it.. I do.. I I didn’t mean to put the blame on y-you.. i’m sorry.. it’s my fault.. I should be around m-m-more.. [nods whispering softly] slept with someone else.. it’s whatever. done and o-over with.. I stayed with W-Woddy for awhile.. I didnt.. I didn’t want to b-bother you.. or if one of those g-girls were over.. [shrugs softly] You have them.. just n-not me anymor… [covers her face] I’m sorry.. 

I know... I... I'm sorry... I'm sorry, goldfish. I'm so sorry for putting y-you through that... You still are important to m-me... you're still my baby sister. I could've been there for you but you have Woody and Buzz, you didn't n-need me. It's not your fault, it's mine, I'm sorry, I'm so sorry... So you left him? For good? [He bites his lip, thinking about when he kissed Dani when he was with Jack] Bother me? You wouldn't... Oh... there aren't any— there isn't anyone, Cleo. It's just me and my cat.

[nods softly] B-Buzz and I are getting out of here. [looks down chewing on her lip as she starts to cry] Y-You aren’t there anymore like you promised… I’m not there anymore either, it’s not all your fault, but I see how others h-have taken my spot as i-important people to y-you. I mean.. I b-bet you don’t even know just this week, B-Buzz cheated on me, and I was drunk running a-a-around out here, where w-were you M-Mason? That’s why I say it d-doesn’t matter, we aren’t the s-same anymore. 

I figured. Cleo? Cleo, don't... please don't cry. I-I'm sorry... I... You mean Rufus and Dani? They did not replace you. Did you just expect me to not have any friends beside you? They were my friends before you got here... I-I'm not just going to drop them... He what? How am I supposed to know this stuff, Cleo? I work most of the time and sleep the other part. Well... yeah... you have that boyfriend of yours, that's new, and nothing has really changed about me. I still don't have anyone.

I’ve done a lot of shit to you. I mean… Seriously. Look at how many times I’ve gotten you to kiss me, even though we both know we really shouldn’t. That ain’t good.

Well, yeah, there's that. I guess it could be a problem.

Long t-time no see huh? Um.. Mason.. I’m..  l-leaving.. [mumbles the next part] Not that it m-matters anymore a-anyways.. 

You're leaving? Should've seen it coming, I guess. [he frowns] What do you mean it doesn't matter? Of course it matters.

Mas.... on.. M-Mason..

Cleo? Uh, y-yeah?

If I hadn’t been around you and Jack would’ve worked. If I hadn’t just kissed you then you’d probably be able to have something with Rufus. I’m getting in your way, even if we aren’t together I’m always there… I’m always just putting myself right in front of you like ‘Hi, kiss me I’m here.’ 

Jack and I weren't going to work even if we hadn't kissed. I was... going to break up with him anyways... I like having you here, Dani. You can't just leave, I won't let you.

Right… Well… I’m sorry about that, I probably shouldn’t have done that. I’m not gonna fuck up your life again.

Dani, it's fine. Y-you don't have to apologize. You didn't... before... you never did.

Are you okay there Mason?

What? Oh, yeah, I'm fine.
