Ducky: Are they awake?

Me: No, they'll be out for awhile

Atrus: What now?

Ducky: I dunno

Me: Okay here we go!

Collins and Jason were still at ends over the words spoken earlier. Jason would leave the room or house for hours at a time, in which when he came home he'd yell "No Dad I wasn't being a drunk!" at Collins.

One day they happened to be on the same train down to NYU. Jason had a college meeting and Collins was going back to work after a month of sick leave. Ironically they ended up sitting next to each other on the train. Collins looked over to his son after about ten minutes.

"Jase come on, I know I haven't been fair about the whole delinquency act here. But I only acted like that because I care about you."

"Dad I…"

"No let me finish, I wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I blew up on you. I shouldn't have compared your past to now. You've made a complete 360 since last month and I'm proud of you for that."

Proud of my Boy

Collins: I know I had my share of mistakes

I've made more than a few

I've had a lot of regrets

But one was never you

From the moment I first saw you

I knew you'd make me proud

It's always been you and me

That's all it's been about

I know I never said it

But you are my pride and joy

For everything you do

I'm proud of my boy

I know we've had our fights

And plenty of feuds

But none of them kept

Me from loving you

Even though my nagging

Tends to annoy

What I'm trying to say is

I'm proud of my boy

Jason looked at his father with tears in his eyes "Dad I'm sorry for throwing your mistakes in your face. I was just…"

"It's okay son, I know you were hurt."

"So you just forgive me?"

"That's what fathers do. Remember Jase I'm always in your corner and so are the rest of us. Remember there's only us, there's only this."

"Forget regret, or life is yours to miss"

"No other road no other way"

"No day but today!"

They sat there in silence for a minute. "Okay that was pretty corny!" Jason laughed.

"I know…so what do we do now?"

"I dunno…soy burger on me?"

"Sure" Collins chuckled as they got off the train.

Ducky: AWW!

Atrus: That was so sappy my teeth are rotting

Me: I know

Ducky: Bring back Angel and friends

Me: I will they'll wake up soon

Atrus: R&R!

Me: I have scones!
