Precisely. I think the better question is who wouldn't want to spend their time with a cabinet full of liquor?

So, you’ll be spending your time with a cabinet full of liquor?

[tommy-fletcher]

Couldn't of said it better myself. Whenever I have people over, I tend to tell them it's a BYOB party. Sharing definitely isn't my strong point, especially when it comes to my liquor.

Jim, Jack, Johhny, and José. The only true friends you’ll ever need. People only seek to steal the valuables in you cabinet anyway, as if you want to share. -laughs-

Love Don’t Die - The Fray

[tommy-fletcher]

[tommy-fletcher]

Fair point there, man. I have all the friends I need; Bourbon, Jack Daniels and Patron.

When you have cabinets of liquor, do you really even need friends?

[tommy-fletcher]

With Mora out of town, my only real friends left are my cabinets full liquor. I'm definitely not gonna complain, though.

Hey Brother - Avicii

[tommy-fletcher]

She loves me and all my drunken glory, thank you very much. Don't worry, your secret is safe with me.

I'm sure a couple of fights broke out there. But, hey, she's better. So that's all that matters. I know... I remember. Alex is just — big on family. His family is the most important thing to him. He'd die before he'd turn his back on any of them. Well, maybe I was just better at ignoring it and pretending that there was nothing wrong back then. It was a hell of a lot easier that way.

I doubt that. I bet she kicks your ass when you get home, all drunk and “hey babe, come gimme a reeking hug”! Whipped? Hm… Yeah, but don’t tell anyone, I don’t want his passion about me staining his reputation.

Just like Alba? Then they had someone slapping each other’s face every once in a while. Doesn’t sound like a peaceful place.

This shit mattered, Tommy… It mattered more than I’m willing to admit. We know the Zharkov murdered my parents. And I was supposed to die with them. I don’t blame Alex for this, he was just a teenager, like we were, but I don’t like he’s supporting Viktor. I bear with them, because there are good people in the middle, but this shit matters. A lot. So high school was as fucked up as it is now. I can even risk to say it was worse, because it was recent. The difference now is that some of us are bosses and are in charge. But it’s the same fucking issue.

[tommy-fletcher]

You really think he'd use the fact that you two have a kid together against you? Because then that's just as much on him as it is on you because he's the dumb ass who couldn't use a condom the right way. Take all the time you need with figuring out how you wanna handle it because you know that your secret is safe with me and that I'm not gonna tell him — but the sooner you tell him, the better. I've know the Zharkov's my whole life and if they want to find dirt on your family — they will. Them finding out where you really were those eight months would be on the top of their list. I don't want you to think that I'm pressuring you into telling him because I'm not. — I'm just looking out for you while trying to look out for Alex at the same time.

Romeo and Juliet— just much more accurate to my situation. I wasn’t going to take the chance on a ‘what if’, Tommy. There were way too many of those, and who knows where he could have ended up. Look what happened to Nate and Lil, I wasn’t gonna go through with that. Well… if that day comes, he won’t come knocking at Alex’s door. Just mine. It never stated that Alex was the father, so he’ll come looking for me. Yeah, yeah— I’ve heard it all before,Tommy. Alex the great and noble, I even fell for it all. But I’m not going to let my guard down with this and open up about it to him— whether it’s his kid or not, he’s my enemy and that’s just one weapon he’ll be able to use against me. I’m not ready for that, Fletcher. Not yet. 

[tommy-fletcher]

A TALENT YOU POSSESS THAT PEOPLE MAY NOT BE AWARE OF? I've mastered the art of getting completely hammered and not waking up with a hangover the next morning. 

WHERE DO YOU SEE YOURSELF IN FIVE YEARS? Maybe married or engaged. Maybe I'll finally have a job. Who knows? That's pretty far away.

[tommy-fletcher]

What the fuck is a West Side Story? Never mind. I get what you're saying, Alb, I do — but you never know how he could've turned out. None of us would've let that little guy turn into Viktor. We would've looked out for him. I understand what's done is done and there's no going back — but what if one day when that baby is no longer a baby, he comes knocking on yours or Alex's door when he's a teenager asking why his parents gave him up? Do you want Alex to find out he has a kid that way or would you rather him find out from you? I've known Alex my whole life — and I don't think you're giving him enough credit. He can be more understanding than you might think. 

This isn’t West Side Story, Fletcher. I’m not the Maria to his Tony and I’m almost sure bringing up a child under feuding families wouldn’t have been the best option— actually, it would have been the worst. He would have grown up the same way I grew up, or the same way Alex grew up— and who can even begin to imagine what the child would have turned out to be. Stephen? Julian? I sure as hell wouldn’t have let him become Viktor. And telling him would just complicate that for him— he’d want to reach out, and that’s not possible. I signed the papers and I don’t even have the connections to locate him. I know this puts you in a difficult situation, but telling him wouldn’t help much, especially with Alex. 

[tommy-fletcher]

She's surprisingly very chill and understanding about it. I guess that's just what makes us work. You've got Stephen DeMarco whipped, Court? Damn.

I mean, you've seen movies and shit. They have daily meetings and uh, Alba roomed by herself. The other patients were, uhm, just like Alba. They just wanted to get their lives back on track.

Yeah, it's kind of easy to forget when I'm best friends with both of them. It's really hard, y'know? I can't side with one of them because then the other will get pissed off. If only we could go back to high school when none of this shit mattered. 

Where? Hitting every bar you can, and staying as long as there’s booze, then moving on to the next one? I really wonder how Mora lets you do that, Tommy. I’d kick Stephen’s ass.

No, I don’t… Why would I know? How was it like, Tom? Give me information, the website is obviously not the same thing as it’s live. What about the people there? 

Not sure that’s going to happen. I mean, not with Alex and Alba in the same room. DeMarco and Zharkov - you often forget about that, huh?

[tommy-fletcher]

Just try not to get yourself killed by any DeMarcos tonight. I heard you were already going at it with Stephen and Alba earlier. You're on a roll tonight.

Drastic? I went over drastic hours ago. 

[tommy-fletcher]

Alex is a dick and I know that... but in his defense he had no idea that you were doing him a favor. I'm not sure he would even really consider that a favor if he knew the truth. You're not in the wrong either. You did what you thought was best for you and for the baby. It's just a complicated situation that's just becoming more complicated every day that he doesn't know the real reason you left.

I was doing him a favor. And what do I get in return? Me being made out the bad person. 

[tommy-fletcher]

Hilarious — you almost got me there. I'm not drunk enough to believe that one because the bartender cut me off an hour ago so the sobering process has started. Try not to do anything too drastic, man. 

If I told you, I’d have to.. steal all your alcohol.

[tommy-fletcher]

Obviously I would never hurt you because then who would drink all of my booze?

But you have to admit it would be smart, because I know you would never hurt me Tommy.

[tommy-fletcher]

You guys have something big planned for the DeMarcos? Or are you just here to piss them all off?

Tonight I’ve gotta keep an eye out for the idiots. I don’t want to be roofied.
