Asylum Challenge #199: Hayden's Lowest Point.





Petal finds a note tucked under her pillow, this causes her to panic.

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

Petal wakes from her slumber and finds a note under her pillow. 

"I can't do this anymore."

Petal let's out a scream and she scrambles out of bed and almost trips down the stairs. 

She runs through the common room where Joey is sitting reading a book, "where's the fire?!" He asks laughing.

"It's Hayden! I'm scared he's killed himself!" Petal screams, crying her eyes out.

Joey sits straight up and goes to the window.

Petal bursts through the back doors and finds Hayden in the pool again. "DON'T DO IT HAYDEN!"

"Why not?" He asks, not turning to face her.

"You have so much to live for!"

"I don't and my deepest secrets I will take soon with me to the grave." He says, a tear rolling down his cheek. 

"You don't have to carry that all on your back alone.....I'm here for you."

He curls in his lips and blurts out: "Actually.......I did in fact kill Hannah but oh what does it matter?" he asks rhetorically, lowering himself into the water.

"PLEASE! I'M IN LOVE WITH YOU." Petal shakes and screams at the top of her lungs, the whole world went silent.

He pulls his head up from the water and turns to her. "You what?"

"I'm in love with you and I can't bare to lose you Hayden!" She chokes out, "I didn't know how to face how I'm feeling and I forgive you for killing Hannah! I FORGIVE YOU AND I STILL LOVE YOU KNOWING THIS!"

He began crying uncontrollably.

"Come out of the water Hayden please, I'm begging you!" She cries out again, running down the steps and rushing to the water's edge.

He looks up at her, with her hand reached out.

"Please Hayden....don't do this; if not for you.....for me."

Hayden nods his head, choking on his tears. "Okay." He pulls himself out of the water and Petal wraps her arms around him, holding onto him for  dear life.

"I love you."

"I love you too."
