Maddie's speech

[Deleted]

Finally, finally she reveals her true feelings in the hospital scene after the kiss. She's honest, and I love how she tells David she loves him (without expecting him to say it first or to even say it back), how she apologizes for hurting him. But what I don't understand: why does she tell him she'll understand if he won't show up on Monday? Why doesn't she tell him "I have made terrible mistakes, but I love you, please could you bring yourself to forgive me and give us another chance, because now I know that I'm willing to try"? I think he deserved that much.

Didn't she think there was a chance he could forgive her or wasn't she herself willing to try? What do you think?

No, she was willing to try (think Flesh) but maybe she thought she had hurt him too deeply. He did say he wouldn't be in so maybe she thought it was too late to change his mind.

Oh well, probably, but c'mon - if you really really love a person and do realize that you really really screwed up -- isn't it time to really really apologize like you mean it and beg that person for a second chance? Wouldn't you do that? I know I would.

You are talking about Maddie Hayes! I am surprised she revealed that much of her feelings to him. She told him she was really really sorry..in Maddieze that is begging LOL

And that she was Maddie Hayes was her excuse for eveyrthing?? I think even a Maddie Hayes should be able to realize when there was the time to change... I'm just saying that she didn't put enough effort in the whole thing.

I mean, in my 1st piece which is set right after the clean slates speech, she bared her soul completely to him, and I think she was still Maddie Hayes.
