"Hi."

"Hey, did you sleep well?"

"Not really, but better than I expected."

"That's good, I think."

"It is, I didn't expect to sleep at all."

"Can I ask you a question?"

"I don't know, can you? Kidding. I'm sure you can. But on a serious note, depends on the question."

"What was going on yesterday? Piper said you were fighting with your parents and that I should ask you if I wanted to know more, because she wasn't sure if she could tell more."

"Oh. It's probably stupid."

"Believe me, El, if it makes you feel sad, it isn't stupid."

"I don't know."

"You can tell me."

"I know. It's just my parents. We've been fighting a lot lately. Yesterday was just one of many."

"I don't get it. You used to get along so well with your parents."

"Yeah, back then I hadn't disappointed them yet."

"Don't say that. Don't make it sound like it's all your fault."

"But what if it is, Finn?"

"I know it isn't. I know you. You wouldn't hurt them on purpose."

"But I hurt them anyway."

"And they hurt you."

"I don't want to talk about this anymore."

"But-"

"No, enough. I've been constantly fighting with my parents. I've talked about it with Piper. Now I just want to forget it."

"You can't just-"

"Hell yes, I can. I'm done."
