"Aghhhhh," Sam sighed.
Sam's life had been extremely rough recently. His wife, Ileya, was constantly nagging him; she seemed to always have something to complain about whether it was the bills, or him not paying enough attention to her. Right now, Ileya kept complaining about his failure to connect with his daughter Faith.
Faith was the typical teenage girl. She hid out in her room and stayed on social media 24/7. Her phone stayed in her hands. It wasn't Sam's fault he wasn't able to connect with his daughter; Faith didn't make an attempt to connect with him either but he didn't see Ileya complaining.
"Bye Ileya." Sam yelled walking out the door. He got in his car before Ileya could say anything else and sped off. The car ride was long and boring--even the One Direction CD couldn't make him smile. All of a sudden his phone rang.
"Hello?" Sam asked in a mopey voice.
"Well hello to you too."
"Pat it's too early for this." Sam said letting out a yawn.
"I'm sorry, but the producers said we need to start filming the 'Tone' exercise today so hurry "
"OK I'm on my way. I'll be there soon"
Once Sam got to work he was whisked away to begin filming for the day. He was surprised he didn't have a break down with all the yelling and directing. When the crew broke for lunch Sam had an idea. He sneaked down to the bathroom that no one used. He sat down on one of the toilets and went to work. He started braiding a chain of toilet paper in a sad attempt at making a rope. Then he tied the sorry rope of toilet paper into a noose and slipped it over the light in the stall. He let out a cry of desperation.
" Lord please forgive me!" he cried out sobbing. Right as he was about to jump off the toilet the door opened and Patrick came in.
"SAM! What are you doing?" Patrick's big body slammed into the closed stall breaking the door down. He rushed to take the noose from around Sam's neck. As soon as he took the rope off Sam's neck the toilet paper chain broke into a bunch of little pieces.
"I'M A FAILURE! I CAN'T EVEN KlLL MYSELF PROPERLY!" Sam wailed.
"No Sam, you're not a failure," Patrick said, holding Sam in his arms, "You're gonna be OK.....just breathe.
