*A week later*
*Hailey and the others were in the music room, still extremely worried about Jake's chances of survival.*

*Milly gently played her guitar,
Also sad about what happened to him a week ago*

Hailey: *Sighs* It's been one week..
And we still haven't received any word about Jake..

Sean: Yeah.. I still hope he's alright..
Milly: Me too..
Luke: Yeah.. I hope so three..

Zander: I hate to say This but..
Same with me..

Hailey: Oh! So Now you care?!

Zander: What do you mean??

Hailey: I mean you care about his life Now?! But Not when he was in that hospital bed?!

Zander: I thought We All would learn something from that!

Hailey: Not Trusting him had Nothing to do with most of Anything!
You Almost Killed him!
Look, I know you hate him, I get that..
But that Doesn't change the fact that he is still in that hospital because of You!

Zander: W-Well.. uh..
He was messing with Us in the past,
Remember?!

Hailey: Yes, I know That, Zander,
But let me say this...
Sure, he Did bully Us in the past..
But You don't see a knife with Him,
Now Do you?

Zander froze, still feeling shame for what he did.

Hailey: Because I'll tell you This;
I didn't.
And if He Was to die, then you won't like what I'll do then..
And I don't think you'd want that,
Now Do you?

Zander still froze, his eyes were wide open, realizing what Hailey meant by that.

Hailey: Three words, my dear Step-brother and friend...
*she shows three fingers,
Taking each one down as she says the words:* I. Thought. Not.

Zander still feels Very ashamed for what he did to him.. he hated him,
But he didn't want to Intention Try to Kill him..

Zander *sighed*
"Hailey," he says to his step-sister,
"What is it, Zander?" Hailey responded.
Zander: Listen...
I know I tried to kill him..
But the thing is..
I didn't even Want to do That!

Hailey: Then Why did you Do It Anyway?! Oh, And By the way,
Why on Earth did you bring that
God Damn Knife with You?!

Zander: I.. I..

*He rubbed his left arm with his right hand, looking down at the floor,
Feeling All the shame he had sustained*

Zander: I was just full of Rage..
I didn't know what to do..
It just took too much control of me..
That Wasn't in my intention at all to do Both of those things!
I Never meant to attack him!!!

He shouted with closed eyes and a slightly breaking voice.

"What...?" Hailey said in a soft tone of voice.

Zander sighed again...
"Hailey, you may not believe me.."
He says to her,
"But that's Really what happened to me..."

He then looked down at the floor again, but this time, there was something in his eyes.. tears..
Tears of Shame.

Hailey: Zander...

She walked up to him.
"Is it true, Zander...? She says,
"Is that why you attacked him...?

Zander: Yes, Hailey..
It's true.. that's why I attacked him...
So I guess I have took it too far...

A minute passed by,
Then Much to Zander's Surprise, Hailey hugged him.
