After Clay got the house he was amazed by everything but one thing or someone was off.
George was staring at the faded green and light green hands on the wall tearing up, he wiped away his tears and faked his smile.

"Hey, are you okay?" Clay nervously asked. After a good minute George looked at Clay still looking a bit teary.

"George?"
"Huh? O-Oh so sorry I was listening to something..."

"Well care to share it with me or-"

"Sure Alexander.." Nodding his head to the question that he cut off.

"It's old, do you still want to listen to it? It's slow and lovely" George replied sighing bringing out an old cassette.
"Trust me, it gives me the moods of everyday listening to it alone. Are you still sure you want to listen to it? Found it in the wall in a box. Strangely was untitled for it."

"Sure. Why not. Looks interesting to see something old that you might of not had. So yeah,why not." Clay was focused on two things, being alive again somehow and seeing George again but he wasn't the same George he knew. "May you please give it to me?"

"Sure..." George gave the old cassette to Clay. Sure George might of not had his heart in 1970 but he didn't feel like his heart in 2021 still, everyday bringing the cassette with him with no other songs. Just one he loved.

Clay put on the old cassette and realised what song it was and it was his favourite. "Unchained Melody" so he stayed quiet listening to it happily crying to himself softly.
Once the song was over he noticed a medium sized phone that he would always used to call at eight thirty pm on the dot. He smiled.

"Why do you have that?"Clay asked staring at the phone.
"Have wh- oh that.... That phone over there you mean?" George said in reply.

"Yeah, it's beautiful looking."

" that phone was the only way to connect to someone that I loved, The one that I said while we were in hospital"
"And the green handprints?"
"I don't want to to talk about it.... It hurts to talk about it"

George went to his room still crying of the fact Clay his lover was gone still trying
not to forget but the only thing that calmed him down was that one song.
"Unchained Melody"  So he went back to the room he originally was in and asked for the cassette and tape back.

George walked back into his room still a bit teary but felt a bit more better since he
wasn't alone anymore. No longer lonely George Davidson that lived in a 1970s house, was no longer lonely.
He had someone around that he would never forget. "His flower".
He jumped onto his bed laying his full body ready to rest, then he remembered what he was going to do with the tape and cassette. He got up instantly and grabbed both the tape and cassette and started to listen. 

Does sound at the start of a clicking through the middle of it playing and to the end of it ending, everything about that tape was special to him. Once again George was calm again like everyday in 2021 listening to his song which was "Unchained Melody".
