Hell To Pay

Try Me

There are bunch of bags on her hands, makes her kinda hard to park her bike. "Ugh, I wish I borrow Chad's car." She walks into the house and accidentally bumped into Nancy. "Sorry! I wasn't paying attention."
"That's fine... But that's a lot of bags you got here."
"Yeahh... Count this as a starter, you know. Because I'm not gonna get my old clothes at my apartment. Oh and Nancy..."
"Yes sweetie?"
"I got a new bikini." She giggles, giving Nancy some kind of a signal. "Whoaah.. there you go, girl! What's your plan?"
"I'm thinking of going to beach next week, maybe find a hot guy..." She smirks. "A hot guy huh? Be careful for what you wish for. Last time you said that, you ended up with Anthony." Nancy laugh and Sam just rolls her eyes. "Ah come on. Not him. I mean not another friend of Chad, I guess."
"Hush, hahaha. There's also one here right now."
"Who?"
"Taylor."
"Oh, him again."
"So you already met him?"
"Yup. He's not that bad after all. But don't get me wrong, I mean he seems like a good guy. But that's it." Although she says that, Nancy can see a little detail on her face. "Oh come on... He's cute, isn't he?"
"Nahhhh." Her face turns red, still in denial. "Anyway, I'm gonna go to my room and check out these clothes. See ya Nancy!" She runs with a handful of bags straight to her room.

There are lot of shirts, jumpsuit, a pair of jeans, trousers, a diving suit, and a baby blue bikini. "Oh geez I have to find a job soon because I spent a lot on these." Then she's thinking on trying her new bikini and maybe jump on swimming pool. So she put it on and let her long hair untied. She always tie her hair up so she's kinda afraid that she will looked ridiculous.

The water seems nice and the sun isn't really burning. "It's time for water bomb." She runs to the pool and quickly jumps in. Water splashed to every corner and she created a big wave from the jump.

"You know we should jam more often. I actually like that." Chad put his arm on Taylor's shoulder while walking to the swimming pool. "Agree. I think you should have 2 drum kit so I can play along and we can do a battle....woahh.." His eyes wide open and loses his speech. "What are you looking at?" Chad is confused and try to look the same direction as Taylor. "Hey, that's my sister."
"I'm sorry Chad... It's just... I thought I was high. But no, I'm sober." Chad smirks and then shout out to his sister. "Hey Sam! Come here!"
"What are you doing?" Taylor start to panicking and Chad finds it really funny.

"Yeah Chad?" She comes out from pool and walk to him. "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, just maybe you can take Taylor to swimming together? I forgot my towel. I'll be back."
"Oh come on Chad!" Chad leave the two of them and shout. "You should ask her directly, remember?"

"Alright, alright..."
"What's that? Any jokes between you two that I should know?" She rolls her eyes and grab Taylor's arm. "Come on the water is nice." She takes him into the water and then just enjoy the water. "So...what Chad meant by asking me directly?"
"It's a job offer actually. My band need a sound engineer and I think you can do the job. Chad said that you used to be one."
"Ah, I see. But I think about Justin. He will be upset if I take the job."

"No he will not." Suddenly Chad shows up and cut the conversation. "I just talked to him. I plan to take him to my own tour so he can learn from my engineer." Chad joins them and enter the pool. "But Chad, are you sure? I mean...."
"Why? It's a good opportunity. Also, Taylor's band consists of good people. They're nice. Right Taylor?"
"Yeah, you can say so. You'll like Dave, he suits your sarcasm jokes." Taylor smiles to her, hoping she will take the job. "Alright. I'm in. When will it start?"
"Errr. Tomorrow?"
"What??? Are you kidding?"
"Just kidding. Tomorrow is just a party, but you're invited. You need to meet my mates."
"Oh, okay. I almost kick your feet for saying tomorrow." Chad act frowns. "Please be gentle to my friend Sam. He's not Fred."
"Yeah, yeah. You don't need to bring that bastard up."
"Woaaah. Thug life, huh?" Taylor is cheering up for her.

"Hey, you two can continue, I'm gonna go in and go out with Justin and Nancy." Chad goes out from pool, intentionally. He wants them to spent times together. "Alright. Take care Chad!" Taylor waves to him and then turn back to Sam, she looked unimpressed. "What?"
"Nothing. I'm just thinking that Chad plays a game on me. I don't know what is it."
"You don't have to suspicious of anything, you know."
"Yeah, whatever." She's out of pool and take a seat on a chair near the pool. "You're gonna inside the water all day?"
"No, why?"
"Maybe you can take a seat too. How about that?"
"Oh, alright!" Taylor goes out and sit besides her.

"So, I know you're not in the mood but... what's the matter with your ex, Fred?"
"You know I'm not in the mood but yet still asking."
"Sorry, just curious. You seems really mad about it. But if you don't wanna talk about it, that's fine."
"Right, because I don't wanna. How about you? Girlfriend?"
"None. I'm not that good of finding one. Haha. I wish I was like Dave. He's good."
"Oh, really... You mean he's a playboy?"
"Noooo." Taylor laugh really hard on that. "He's not. I mean he knows how to do to get the girl he likes."
"Oh, sorry. I thought he's a copy of Anthony Kiedis."
"Why? You had a history with him?"
"You can tell. For one night."
"Damn... Chad knows that?"
"He knows, he warned me about it but I was dumb. I mean, he's not a bad guy. But he's a real jerk." She flips her hair to her right side. "Why do we talking about this. I feel dumb."
"Maybe you're...sad?"
"No I'm not. I will never cry over a guy. That's silly."
"You don't have to act strong all the time, you know.."
"You know nothing."
"I'm talking from experience."
"Oh yeah, says a person who is not good of finding a girlfriend." She says, in a mocking tone. "Hey, I mean it." Taylor grab her arm, looked serious. "I used to be like that. But after I nearly died, I know that I'm not that strong. And it's okay to tell people about it. Chad told me you're not usually grumpy and used to be really cheerful. You should consider that."
