Come in.
You all right?
No, no.
There are some things that--
[SNIFFLING]
--that just scare me for you.
And I'm not saying Eric was perfect.
What I'm saying was that Eric was more efficient when it came
to loving you, and learning you.
I get that.
I worry that Carlos puts all of him in you to carry.
Do you understand this is what--
my reaction is to only what I have seen with my own eyes?
Yes.
Who carries you, Ivy?
Who's going to carry you when you're
tired, emotionally, physically?
I don't see that in him.
At some point you're going to get tired.
I just want you to be happy, and I don't care.
Yeah
I don't care [BLEEP] all this [BLEEP]..
I'm going to be there for you, I don't care,
because you've been my ride or die for like 25 years.
I know you, girl.
Yeah, you do.
But can you be strong for me when I can't be no more?
Right.
I don't see that in him, and it hurts
me because now it's all on you.
Who's going to care for you?
It's going to have to be me, honey.
If you're going to do this by yourself,
what are we doing, bro?
What we doing?
But that's also a choice that I make.
Absolutely, that is the choice that you make,
and I'm going to support your choice, regardless.
As of recently, the things that I'm seeing cause me, like damn.
Pause, because it brings you pause.
Because I didn't want to be right.
Right.
When I met Eric, for me, I felt like we
were in the same position Carlos and I am now,
except the roles were reversed.
I was Carlos.
I had some tweaks, some things, that I needed to [BLEEP] that I
need to figure out myself, because I was carrying
around a whole lot of baggage.
I was carrying around a whole lot of hurt.
I was carrying around a whole lot of loss,
and I don't need nobody.
I got my damn self, [BLEEP].
- Trust me, I remember. - You remember, right?
I remember.
And it took having Eric in my life to figure out,
oh, once in a while I can depend on you,
and you're not going to like pull the rug out
underneath and be like, ha ha.
And now, I feel like, here I am, and the roles are reversed.
I'm Eric.
Mm.
Ivy is Carlos.
And there were so many times that Eric could have
walked away, and he didn't.
He held on, and he was like, I'm going to figure this out.
Even if she's pushing me away, I'm going to figure this out.
And that's how I feel about Carlos.
I feel like no one has really cared about him.
No one has really supported him and I'm like, here I am.
you need to understand and trust that I support you.
I love you.
I just need to know what you need.
I can't do everything for you, I can't.
Like, I'm only one person.
I can only do what--
That part right there is what, I'm just gonna speak for me,
I'm not seeing your work.
Because regardless, you either learn how to stand
on your own two feet for you.
Right.
You got to find out what's in you, man.
And this is, again, I got a different perception,
because we on the outside.
Right.
It seems like the work is coming from you.
I'm happy that he is inspired by you, because damn,
you's a great bitch.
Why not? - Thank you.
You know what I'm saying?
I'm glad that you have poured into him in places nobody
gave a [BLEEP] about before.
I, I get that part of it.
Don't take advantage of what she earned and worked for.
As if by default--
Think it's yours.
Yeah.
I want to trust him, that he will take care of you.
In the ways seen and unseen.
But, you got to show me that, man, because I'll take
care of Ivy if you can't, bro.
Elsa will.
[INAUDIBLE] will.
Right
Show us something different.
Don't build up the walls with the people that's trying
to help you build a home.
Right.
I love you.
I love you, too.
I didn't know she felt that way before.
I didn't know that that's what she was perceiving
her relationship to be.
But, I was really scared that this relationship,
you were going to keep pouring from your cup
until it was empty.
And then what was going to be left
for Ivy at the end of this?
I just want you happy.
Yeah.
I just want him to take care of you.
