Tyler wanted to make a point to Mina and he thought he did. He wasn't the kind of person who could be saved or changed. It was too late for that. There was still hope for him when he was young with a head full of dreams and a heart full of hope, but those days were long gone. He already tried to be a better person when he was with Brooke and he couldn't do it. In the end he ruined everything and there was no way of making that right. Mina's suggestion to write a letter never left his mind though. He could start there and see where it goes. And that's exactly what he did. For the 48 hours he spent in jail, he wrote one hundred letters but only kept one. He wasn't sure if it was any good. His thoughts were exhausted and the transition from his heart to the paper could have been lost. Because it was Mina's idea he decided he would let her read it for him when he finally gets out.
He was ashamed of his bruised knuckles and tried to hide his hands when they met outside the barbwire gate. "Why'd you come?" She didn't have to bail him out but he knew she would. It was that kindness that reminded him of Brooke and how she helped him after his fight with Jake. The two girls had a lot in common. Only in reverse. Brooke was a wholesome person who was on a downward spiral and Mina was a downward spiral who became a better person. "I have a killer headache and I'm starving. If you don't hate me yet maybe we can go to Davey's for some coffee and waffles?"
