Asylum Challenge #155: Filled In.

Hayden goes off to bed, as he was waiting till tomorrow to re-enter solitary. Carla, Petal and Joey gather to catch up.

-----------------------------------------------------

"So did you talk to Hayden?" Petal asks.

"Ya, I did."

"How did it go?" Joey inquires, curling in his lips.

"He poured his heart out." Carla says.

"Did he cry?" Petal asked.

"No, he didn't."

Joey reaches out and takes Carla's hand. "So what happens now?"

"He's turning himself back into solitary tomorrow."

"Wait, he's going willingly?!" Petal asked, shocked.

"Ya."

"That's an all time low for Hayden." Joey says, hanging his head. "Maybe I was too hard on him."

"I think we both were." Carla explains, "He just needs time to escape me, he said."

"That's not too bad an idea, I'm just worried about him overall." Petal says.

"Ya, so am I." Joey nodded.

"Are you sure you aren't in love with him Petal?" Carla asks, turning to her with a smile.

"Feck off." Petal says, sticking out her tongue. "I just have been there before...."

"You know what it's like..I know I know."

"Maybe you should talk to him then too." Joey suggests, turning to her.

"Good idea." Carla agrees.

"I should before he checks back into solitary." Petal nods, "I think it would do us both some good."

"Ya, you seem to be holding onto a lot too."
