It wasn't until the person behind her tapped her shoulder that
Haley realized Chris had suddenly disappeared. She looked up to see
an annoyed ticket taker named Mr. Monkey,
"Hey miss, you getting on or not? Your little boyfriend left you know, come on I don't have all day." Haley quickly handed the ticket to him and ran out of the station in search of Chris. She found him a few minutes later, just outside the station staring at his phone. While in a dark alley, a phone lay there ringing. "Chris." She tried this again 2 more times, but it was useless, he was gone, lost in his own little world.
Finally frustrated, Haley takes her purse and whacks him over the head with it, hoping he will join the real world once again, not that he ever lived on planet earth to begin with; he belonged to the planet of Chris Keller. As soon as Chris felt the purse make contact with his head, he turned around " What the hell is your problem Haley!" He asked angrily, shooting daggers, which burned right though Haley
. Now Haley was tired and pissed, a very lethal combination. She was giving up her marriage for this prick, and now he was treating her like shit, she was outraged with him and decided to make her voice heard. " What the hell is my problem, what the hell is your problem Chris? I was just about to give up my life, my MARRIAGE after your little monologue on following your dreams and blah, blah, blah, and now you expect me to be all peachy and keen after you ditched me at the train station, because of some phone call which was probably one of your skanks that you promise fame and fortune to. Well I am not peachy, in fact I am so damm fed up with you, your so…so…arrogant, inconsiderate, never thinking about others and only caring about your needs, your dreams, and you have the guts to ask me what my problem is!"
Now by this time Chris had had enough of Haley's attitude, " You're the one to talk Haley, you think I'm selfish, I get that, but at least I am a strong enough to know what I want without asking the permission of someone. If you think I'm arrogant and inconsiderate, why did you meet me at the station, Huh? You are really talented Haley, I admit that I don't always call it that, but you are, but you are so damm worried about what your precious Nathan thinks that you don't put yourself out there, instead you put yourself in a comfort zone that you can't break out of. At least I'm not the one judging, I'm tired of your BS and lame excuses Haley, you say that I am inconsiderate, what about what you just said, assuming things about me when you don't know. Contrary to your image of me, I don't go around screwing with young people and their dreams, I would never do that, that's not who I am, not that you would know that. Maybe you should run to your precious Nathan and ask him about our friendly little chat we had this afternoon, which ended with his hands on my throat. Are you still thinking about running back to him, is he the perfect little husband now?"
Haley looked at him not knowing what to say, afraid she would say something she would regret as they both stared at each other, neither of them willing to give up, until Haley looked away, just wanting to leave and to stubborn to admit that Chris had been right, so she turned away leaving, never looking back. Chris just stood there and watched Haley's retreating figure, not willing to show her that her words cut him deep, he wasn't going to give her that satisfaction
