Talking

Carson’s eyes narrow as Misty talks, remaining silent as he’s hit with her words. He almost visibly tries to process them, though it’s slow going, and only proves to irritate him more, the emotions churning behind his eyes.

He’s silent until Misty walks away and he downs several more swallows of beer from his bottle. “Happiness? Ha!” His voices raises. “Yeah, I deserve a third time. Walk away…just walk on out of here and go back to your life without the likes of me to make you miserable!”

Wyatt inwardly cringes at the words he knows Carson doesn’t mean. He nods to Misty. “Let’s get out of here. Katie, you come with. He doesn’t need anybody here. I have a feeling he’s not going anywhere. I’ll grab Jason to come back with me and we’ll get him out of here ourselves.”

Leaving, Wyatt makes it back to TJY quickly, dropping off Katie and Misty, and going straight for Jason.

Jason is less than enthusiastic to go pick up Carson, but relents, and goes with Wyatt…

It’s an hour before Wyatt and Jason finally return. Wyatt heads to the infirmary and stops at the door, knocking, and remembering quite well to wait for Misty’s voice before entering. Opening the door, he gives her a little nod. “We got him back to the apartment, Misty. We didn’t think we should bring him here. He’s started babbling about you and about Ashlyn and a whole lot of other stuff…I don’t know if you want to try going and talking to him or not. Jason was too fed up to stay with him.”
