Everything We Never Said

Ella assumes that the “S” in Hayley’s diary refers to Sawyer, though she cannot see any of the “darkness” in him that Hayley describes. She feels like it would make more sense if Hayley were referring to Sean or even Scott. Ella is exhausted from not sleeping well for several nights, so when Sawyer sneaks up and puts his arms around her, she snaps at him. When he realizes how tired she is, he tells her that he will drive her around so that she can sleep, and she naps for hours in his car. She wakes up feeling much better and grateful to Sawyer, who picked up food for her. They go to the YMCA and slip into the water. They make out and become intimate, and Sawyer suddenly clamps his hand over her mouth, grabs her around the waist, and lunges toward the side of the pool. His grip is strong, and Ella panics, digging her nails into his skin. He releases her, with “horrified” eyes, apologizing for scaring her; the night janitor was nearby, and Sawyer covered her mouth to stop her loud noises. When she tells him how scared she was, he looks miserable.
