His shoulder presses against the wall as the silence envelops the phone call again. They're so, so bad at this, aren't they? "I'll do my best, obviously, of course I will, but... I'm not you..."

He pushes off the wall and sighs softly, sinking down onto the bed. He doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know how to fix any of this. His eyes slide shut at that confession and he sighs her name out, "Hayley..." he doesn't have to say anything else, not really; it's all there in the way her name falls from his lips.
