INT. - MICHAEL'S HOUSE, TY'S BEDROOM - AN HOUR LATER
Ty is on the bed. He is leaning against pillows. Gabriel walks in. Ty watches Gabriel as he walks toward the bed.
GABRIEL
How are you feeling?
TY
Why are you asking me that?
GABRIEL
You got so upset that you got your stomach upset.
TY
It doesn't matter.
GABRIEL
It does matter.
TY
You got shoved around and.
GABRIEL
I'm all right.
TY
I know you don't lie but.
GABRIEL
Dad examined me. I don't have any broken bones or anything. I'm all right.
TY
Why don't you hate me?
Kye walks in.
KYE
Hate is not in Gabriel's vocabulary.
Jye and John James walk in.
JYE
Let Gabriel talk to Ty alone.
TY
Don't you hate me?
JOHN JAMES
None of us hate you. We will never hate you. We love you. You are my brother and you always will be.
Jye and John James walk out.
JYE (O.C.)
Come on, Kye.
Kye walks out. Gabriel sits on the bed on Ty's left. He faces Ty.
GABRIEL
I could never hate you.
TY
You keep getting attacked because of me.
GABRIEL
You don't blame the innocent for the guilty.
TY
I'm not innocent.
GABRIEL
You are too hard on yourself. After all you have been through that is to be expected.
Gabriel puts his left hand on Ty's left hand.
GABRIEL
I will always be here for you. Nothing and no one will change that.
TY
You keep getting hurt.
GABRIEL
Stop focusing on that.
TY
It's my fault.
GABRIEL
It is not your fault.
TY
It is.
GABRIEL
The only one that blames you is you. It is not your fault. Please try to remember that.
