Blake
Hey — are you there?
Blake
I’m sorry I haven’t called or anything.
Jonathan
S’all right. You said you needed time.
Jonathan
You and Taylor both.
Blake
Time heals all wounds, right?
Blake
I’m working and taking meetings. But that’s about it.
Jonathan
You’re still hurting?
Jonathan
B, listen. I never wanted anyone to get hurt.
Blake
Well, not at first.
Jonathan
Mom and Dad blamed me, too.
Blake
I know — it wasn’t fair.
Jonathan
You’re kidding, right?
Jonathan
I’m the one who sent our girl running.
Jonathan
That’s not what I meant.
Jonathan
The 3 of us have always been tight.
Jonathan
I hate us fighting and being apart like we are.
Blake
I hate it, too. But there’s something I need to understand.
Blake
Why didn’t you tell me how you felt about Taylor?
Jonathan
You’re my brother. You always came first. With everyone.
Blake
Don’t pull that crap about me being the favorite.
Jonathan
It’s not crap — I was the loser with no future.
Jonathan
Destined to live in Mom and Dad’s basement.
Blake
And I was the one telling them they were wrong.
Blake
That you just needed time.
Jonathan
I needed more than that.
Jonathan
I needed someone to believe in me.
Blake
You mean like Taylor?
Blake
She believed in me, too.
Blake
So, let me ask you again…why didn’t you tell me?
Blake
I always had your back.
Jonathan
And I always had yours.
Jonathan
That’s why I couldn’t tell you.
Blake
I would have let you have her. All you had to do was tell me the truth.
Jonathan
That’s not true.
Blake
You’re right. I would’ve flipped out and taken a swing at you.
Blake
And Mom would have sprayed us with the hose to separate us.
Jonathan
The hose was always her weapon of choice.
Blake
LOL no. Guilt’s her favorite weapon.
Blake
Has she tried to make you feel guilty?
Jonathan
They didn’t have to try hard. I know what I did.
Jonathan
Just like I know I can’t take it back.
Blake
Would you take it back if you could?
Blake
You would have let us get married?
Jonathan
No, I just would have thought of a different way.
Jonathan
Maybe by taking you out and telling you how I felt.
Blake
It wouldn’t have worked.
Blake
As much as I think you should have been honest, me and Taylor were going through with it.
Jonathan
You don’t know that.
Blake
Yes, I do. You know it, too.
Blake
It’s why you did what you did.
Jonathan
Are you saying you’re glad I screwed up your ceremony?
Blake
God, no. It was the worst day of my life.
Jonathan
It was my worst day, too.
Blake
Tay and I were never going to make it.
Blake
We were trying for the baby.
Blake
After we lost him, we tried for us.
Blake
Yeah. But it didn’t work out.
Blake
We’re trying to be.
Blake
Just like you and me should try to be.
Blake
I’d like that, too.
Blake
I just don’t know where to start.
Jonathan
This is a start. A good one.
Blake
What about you and Taylor?
Blake
How did you start over?
Jonathan
We haven’t. The last time we spoke was a month ago.
Jonathan
The day she blocked my calls.
