Asylum Challenge #159: Think About It....

Joey bites the bullet and goes to talk to Hayden.

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

"Hey Hayden, can we talk?" Joey asks, approaching the door.

"I don't wanna talk..." Hayden responds.

"Well, if you don't wanna talk, let me talk....please just listen."

Hayden groans, "Go ahead."

"I want to apologize, weather you accept it or not is on you. I feel I have gone too far, been too spiteful and I honestly don't mean to tear you down man, to force you to do this......you know. I know we have never seen eye to eye and since the death of Hannah, I had held such a grudge against you, that you that anybody...could do such a thing and I know you will never admit to killing her but we both know you did. We both know though that people do wrong, I myself have been there I know that feeling, once you do wrong you feel you're a monster. I feel often, I'm a monster. I even often feel like Carla deserves better....better than me, maybe better than you....who knows but I feel she deserves better. I feel that I have put her in a spot where she's in danger or at risk of becoming a monster further than she already is....I don't wanna see her lose her mind again....some more whatever it is. I know how you feel about her, I heard. I don't blame you and I'm not angry, I'm not happy either but it is what it is, I can't blame you for how you feel. I don't mean to make any of this more difficult and what you saw back at the park, I didn't mean for to happen, the angry part of me thought it would've been a fun spiteful thing to happen but I deep down didn't mean it. You and I aren't much different you know, I also know you're not always spiteful, just like I'm not either. I know you probably want to strangle me now but I thought I'd talk to you about this so I don't lose sleep...but who am I to even worry about losing sleep, when really it's you. Again man....I am sorry and it took me a long time to say that but I hope you can think it over, even if you don't forgive me and I don't forgive you. I just wanted it all to be out on the table. Goodnight."

Hayden deeply sighs, with his head hung.

Joey turns and walks away.
