Tom🕷
Hey, mate. How're
you holding up?

Haz✊🏼
Bloody awful

Tom🕷
Is it because of
the documentary?

Haz✊🏼
Among other things

Tom🕷
You know she doesn't
blame you for any of it

Haz✊🏼
I blame myself. You've
seen the documentary,
she called someone
before it happened and
that someone was me.
I could have helped

Tom🕷
Part of me feels like you
couldn't have done
much. You were in a
different country, for one.

Haz✊🏼
You don't understand,
even when we were just
beginning to be friends
she called me while she
was having a panic attack
over her ex. She called
me, she trusted me

Tom🕷
Brook has said herself
that it was her own
decision to go there
that night. She told
me herself that she
doesn't blame you.

Haz✊🏼
And I've told you that it
doesn't matter whether
or not she blames me,
because I blame me. I
know I could have
done something

Tom🕷
What? What could you
have done from the
other side of the world?

Haz✊🏼
Talked to her. I could
have tried to take her
mind off of it

Tom🕷
It was the anniversary
of her dead brother.
There is no taking her
mind off of it

Haz✊🏼
I could have sympathised.
I could have told her that
there was other ways to
cope with it

Tom🕷
But she knew
that already

Haz✊🏼
Grey's the type
of person who
needs to hear
things from
other people.
She doesn't
listen to herself

Tom🕷
That's not on you,
mate. As much as I
like her, she's not
your responsibility

Tom🕷
And I know for a fact
she would double over
if she found out you were
killing yourself over this

Haz✊🏼
I miss her. And the
way she would laugh
at her own stupid jokes

Tom🕷
I get that. I think
she just needs space
- off of everyone.

Haz✊🏼
Space? Another guy
has already moved
in with her

Tom🕷
That's just her friend,
Awsten. He means well,
he just wants to make
sure that she's okay

Tom🕷
It's not long till the
premiere. She might
come, you could talk
to her there

Haz✊🏼
I guess so.
Thanks mate

A/U:
emotional, right?
