Maybe I'll just move to England.

Peachy. How'e you doing? I'm a little out of the loop, right now. Nobody tells me anything. The last few weeks have consisted of work and then coming and drinking a few beers with Belle. She doesn't usually partake. 

Maybe I'll just move to England.

I'm a qualified attorney stuck working at a coffee house. Barista/barrister, get it?

Private

I don’t want him to worry. I’ll be okay on  my own. Just ignore me. I’m just being a baby.

Caleb Joshua Puckerman.

Private

No. You said Xavier deserved visitors less than I do, because he tried to kill himself. You’re wrong about him, but you’re right about me. I deserve to be all alone. I don’t want to - I’m scared and I want Owen - but I should be punished.

I didn't mean what I said. I'm just mad at you both. I'm only mad because I care. You don't deserve to be punished. You're a wonderful person who deserves to be given what you need. You shouldn't have to be alone. I'll get Owen if you don't want me there. If he understood why you're scared, he'd be there like a bullet from a gun.

Private

It’s okay, Hunt. You don’t have to pretend to care. 

I do care. You're family.

Private

Well I don’t remember anything and I don’t think Frankie really saw me take anything. I don’t know why, but I don’t. But I did remember something that really upset me. All clues just point to it.

Oh honey... What do you remember?

Private

Well no… I mean they’ve seen me because I went up to visit, since that was the only way and I look like death. But no, I haven’t told them, It was too early to know, last time I spoke to Owen. Don’t worry. I’m not even sure whether I need one. I might get better.

 So what did you mean when you said you think you did this to yourself?

Private

Don’t even worry about it, man. I’m supposed to be learning “emotional independence” anyway. I told Owen he didn’t have to visit me, which was hard but I managed it. I mean I thought he’d stay with me anyway, but that’s not the point. The point is that I managed to say it, whether I meant it, or not. I did kinda have a weak moment when I asked Frankie to come see me, but I only asked once and he didn’t want to. So no harm, no foul. I’m coping on own… I don’t know. I’m not really getting better. My kidneys are healing, which means that they did manage to get all of the toxin out of my system, but my liver’s shot to shit… I think I did this to myself too, Hunter.

You shouldn't go through this alone, Caleb. Do they know how sick you are? If your liver is so damaged, doesn't that mean...? Do you need a transplant? Will a partial do? I mean if they think you tried to kill yourself, they won't put you on the list, so you need a living donor. Don't you? I'll come get tested. I mean obviously Owen's gonna be your best bet, but I'm happy to do it, if I can.

Private

Don’t bother. I’m fine. Just go see Xavier. He’s the important one.

You're talking crazy, C. What's wrong? You deserve visitors just as much as Xavier does. Probably more since he did this to himself. I know Owen's with him all the time, but you're loved too. When are you getting out, though?

How's everyone doing?

Everything’s about the same. Xav’s memory’s shot to shit, but we’re both physically getting better.

I'll come visit you. When are you getting out?

Private

Okay.
