Hell To Pay

"Where did you get that?" He looks at her terrified face. "I don't know.. it was inside an envelope with my name on." Taylor get the envelope and find nothing about who sent it. "Hey, you're okay? I know this is scary, but everything will be fine." She nods Taylor takes her hand, hold it tight. "Trust me."
"Okay." They caught in silence for some minutes before Sam finally get a little relax. "By the way... I'm sorry that I hit you."
"No. Umm. I'm sorry. I did a mistake. I tried to give a statement in a bad way." He smiles, nervously. "Anyway, still friends?"
"Yeah. Why not." Sam replies his smile and put those pictures in envelope again. Throw it on the table later.

"Hey, you didn't sleep last night. Try to sleep this time." He pat her back and then back to couch. "Okay. Thanks Taylor. Good night."
"Yeah, good night." He lay down, tries to sleep himself but something keeps his mind awake. He take the envelope again, looks at Sam as she's trying to sleep. He open it carefully so it won't wake her up.

Who the hell sent these pictures? He thinks. It will be usual for him or the band to be pictured without concern but these are different because they were aimed at Sam. Even had Sam's name on. Someone clearly put Sam as the focus. It must be someone who knows Sam. But it seems like even Sam has no idea who did this. Taylor is so hard thinking and doesn't realize Dave wakes up, hit his head to the wall when he's trying to enter the bathroom.

"Oh shit. What are you doing?" He rushed to help him. "Umm." That's all Dave can say after he hit his head. "Sit down. Let me get some water." He forced Dave to stay on couch while he get him a glass. "You're so drunk, I'm surprised you managed to wake up." Taylor comes back to him with a glass of water. "Now drink." Dave takes the glass and drink it just like what Taylor said him to. Now a little bit dizzy, but back to his mind, Dave put the glass on the table. "Thanks man."
"Anytime. Never seen you so drunk before."
"Yeah. Just.. another argument with ny wife."
"Again? Geez. What's that about this time?"
"She wants a kid. I don't know if I'm ready or not. But I don't want this to be over like I did with Jennifer."
"Noo.. of course not. Jordyn is different. I know you two can figure it out."
"Yeah, sure...." Dave is slightly see those pictures on the table. "Wait... What's that? So many pictures of you and Sam. A paparazzi?"
"Oh, that? I don't think so. Someone sent an envelope with these inside. The envelope has Sam's name on it. Clearly someone aimed this to her. That's scared her."
"Does she know?"
"Yes. She's the one that find these pictures first. She's legitimately terrified. I mean if it's just a picture of me and her face shows up accidentally because she's going out with me, I'll be not really care. This is different."
"Should we report this or what?"
"I don't know, I'll definitely report if she allowed me. But she didn't say anything about report so.."
"Alright. But make sure she's not wondering around alone for now. If there's no similar incident again..maybe this is just a troll."
"Yeah sure." Taylor helps Dave to get back to his bed again. He lays down and pat Taylor's back. "You might think I'm joking or drunk, but I'm sure you'll make a good brother in law for Chad." He giggles and then put a blanket on. Taylor just giggles back, "Go sleep, you're drunk."

Cut fast to the morning, when everyone elses aren't up yet, Sam wakes up from sun light that landed right on her face. There will be no show today and seems like everyone took it to rest more than usual. And then her stomach growls. "Damn, I'm starving." She takes her wallet and go out to find foods for herself and everyone.

She goes to a grocery nearby, take some breads, milk, and box of cereals. Then she remembers Chris said that hotel's food is crap so she decided to go find some burgers after she pay her groceries. The burger stand is not too far from the store, she goes there and order 5 for all of them. While she was waiting for her offer to be made, she feels like someone is watching and she start to be paranoid. Keeps looking back frequently. "What's wrong ma'am?" The seller ask her when he gives those burgers. "Umm. Nothing. Here's the money. Thanks you."
"You're welcome." Sam quickly pick the bags and walk faster back to hotel, get inside the elevator and close the door. There finally she can breath slowly.

Out from elevator, she walk back to their room and open the door, just to be surprised with Nate's panic face. "Where the hell were you???"
"Umm.. should I come in or..."
"Oh, right, sorry." He let her in and then close the door. When she's inside, turned out it wasn't just Nate... All of them are panicking. "You scared us!" Dave rolls his eyes and take a deep breath. "What's wrong?"
"What's wrong??? Those pictures are wrong and you shouldn't go out without telling us."
"Wait, you tell them that?" Sam looks at Taylor who's sitting on her bed with arms crossed. "Well, technically Dave found out accidentally, and then he's panick and waking us all up when he woke up and couldn't find you. And yes, all of us are really freaking out."
"Sorry. I thought you said that everything is gonna be fine."
"Well that... I know.. but doesn't mean you can go out alone without telling any of us. Chad would never forgive us if something happens."
"Alright I'm sorry. I was starving so I thought I can go out early to buy some food for all of us. I got the burger that Chris mentioned." And somehow Chris managed to giggles. "Sorry. I can't help. I didn't expect you to remember that."
"Of course I remember. You guys said the hotel food is crap."
"Okay. Thank you.. and we're sorry for mad at you."
"No, that's fine. I know you guys just don't want something bad happen to me. I'll tell you when I go out next time."
"That will be good." Dave smiles and then they all sit together to eat their breakfast.

"So.. do you consider to take that to police report?" Taylor ask in the middle of their breakfast. "What?"
"Those pictures."
"No. Maybe they're all just a joke. Doesn't worth my time to take care of it."
"I know.. it's just...just in case."
"Well you told me things will be fine. I tend to believe that."
"Alright then... If you say so."
