You Matter To Me
You Matter To Me 5/16/02



Sonny:
I..I just saw bobbie at the brownstone

Alexis:
How is she?

Sonny:
Uh…you know, she's fighting it. Um…she's uh…she's telling herself it's a…it's a bad dream and she'll wake up…She hasn't told Michael…um that carly's gone…yet. I mean, he's spending…the day with Leticia and I'm gonna have to do it tomorrow. I just don't know…you know, I don't know how I'm gonna do it but…what I'm gonna say I don't think it's gonna matter 'cause he's… not really gonna understand…


Alexis:
Maybe you just…you just need to …need to reassure him that he's not gonna lose you, too…

Sonny:
That's why I'm here…

Alexis:
AJ is going to attempt to have the adoption revoked but…he's not gonna be able to do that because it's legal and it's signed. He did - he signed away his parental rights. And I'm taking steps now to protect…you as the custodial parent.


Sonny:
Thanks but that's not what I meant…I don't handle death well. I basically don't… handle it…at all and that's…wrong, I know. I'm…I can't really do it this time, you know? I mean I hurt the people around me. I hurt myself. I push them away and I shut down. I cannot…shut down on Michael…or on you…You matter to me and if…if I ever …act like you don't…you need to call me on it, okay, 'cause at this time I…I just need you, you know…around, you know…so if…Unless you know, you decide you don't…want me around or somethin'. I don't know -- you know what I'm trying to say…

Alexis:
That's highly unlikely…Uh, can I get you…anything? Do you want… some coffee? I mean, I can let you make it…

Sonny:
No, no - I gotta…I gotta make some arrangements…I gotta…You comin' to the funeral?

Alexis:
I don't think so…I just…don't think it's the right thing to do…

Sonny:
…I understand
