Sloane could feel tears prickling at the corners of her eyes and not for the first time recently. She'd spent far to much time crying lately and she hated it. "Good, I really need us to be okay, you're one of my best friends." Her voice caught just a little as she sighed. She couldn't handle another one of her friends not talking to her for some indeterminable amount of time again.

After letting loose on Hatch, Sloane had started to see that things were possibly too damaged to fix and it still pained her to know that, but it had also been made pretty clear that there wasn't much she could do anymore. The guilt she still felt would probably never go away, but she was just going to have to learn to deal with it and accept the new normal. The problem was, she didn't know if she could.
