[She sounds like she's trying very hard to stay calm.]

That was really stupid, Tom.

[And he's just drunk and lashing out.]

What's it matter to you?

You're my friend. It matters when you do stupid stuff like this.

You could've found some other way to help him.

You don't get it, there is no other way. Not for people like us.

He was going to kill himself, or try, and since we can't stay dead it would have just made things worse. He saved me, it's my turn, so back off.

Our entire town died because of that kind of thinking, Tom. That sacrificing one person for the sake of something else makes it all better?

You might've had good intentions but you just made things worse anyway.

Those kids didn't have the choice. I do--

You know what..

I don't need a fucking lecture.

You don't even-

Okay, whatever. Do stupid things and don't listen to people when they're worried.

Don't? Don't what? Don't know?! Oh, I do. I do because I've been fucking there every night since the tower came. It never stops. Every god damn time I close my eyes I'm right there again.

I didn't get a choice! Do you think that I wanted my little sister to die just so that I could live in that dead end shithole of a town until I became so psychotic that I ended up like my mother? I'm really sorry that we're all super fucked up here but you can't just do these things without talking to people, first!

And you actually think he would have listened to me for more than a second before flying off the handle? I mean who are we kidding, Elle. He needed help, the kind you can't get from a long talk or a hug. It's not something that needed to be talked out, first. Be as upset as you but but it doesn't have anything to do with Shepherd's Glen or the deals your family made. It's not the same.

I paid his debt and that's the end of it.

Do you really think that's the end of it?
