Scene 6: May 23rd, 1986, Front Yard of Haileys’ 3:00pm

Hailey is waiting for Willow in her front yard with a picnic laid out, her expression is a mix of nervousness and hopefulness.

Willow comes into the camera view and sits down next to Hailey. She places down strawberries she brought with her down. 

Hailey: (softly, she says this whilst smiling) Hey…About yesterday, I just wanted to say that-

Willow’s eyes widen slightly, and she cuts Hailey off.

Willow: No, no. Don’t apologize. I’m the one in the wrong. I shouldn’t have brought it up like that and-

Hailey: Stop, Willow. Just listen to me, okay? 

Willow falters, nodding her head.

Hailey: I shouldn’t have lashed out at you like that. It was wrong of me to do that. After all…My dad, he-

Hailey takes a deep breath. 

Hailey: He was always so horrible to me. 

Willow nods and casts her gaze downward.

Willow: (quietly) I know.

Hailey briefly looks up at Willow but then goes back to talking. 

Hailey: I just think that my anger at you was misplaced. I’m not mad at you. I’m mad at my dad. Part of me is so mad that I wish maybe that- (quiet, barely audible) Part of me wishes I could’ve gotten revenge of some sort. So, I shouldn’t have taken any anger out on you. 

Willow: Do you think it's better for you? Now that he’s gone. 

Hailey: (pause before responding) Yeah. I think that maybe my anger turned to sadness, or that maybe there’s really something wrong with me because I just-(she stops herself)

Willow looks up at Hailey, raising an eyebrow, silently telling her to finish.

Hailey: What matters is that he’s gone. And that things will be okay. Right?

Willow cracks a smile at Hailey, picking up a strawberry and popping it into her mouth, starting to eat it. 

Willow: (after swallowing) That’s the spirit. Turn that frown upside down.

Willow hits Hailey’s shoulder playfully with her own shoulder. 

Willow: Let’s just have some fun and not focus on the past - or the future. Just focus on now.

Hailey eventually smiles, a small laugh escaping her. 

Hailey: Yeah. I think I like that idea.
