"Good job guys." Taylor takes his drink and manages to thanks all the crew including Sam. It's been years since the last incident and yet Sam still not remember anything other than what's been told to her. She's also back to the road with the band and work as their sound engineer like nothing happened before. And for that period of time, both Sam and Taylor develop a strong friendship all over again.

"Hey Taylor!" She's running to stop him from leaving the building. "Yes?"
"Can we talk?"
"Umm. Sure. I'm gonna change clothes first and I'll come to you okay?"
"Okay."

Taylor goes straight to the changing room and looks at Dave and Chris. "She wants to talk to me?"
"Who?" Dave put his black shirt on before turn to Taylor. "Sam."
"But you two are friends again, why so worry about it?"
"I know. It's just this time she looks serious. I don't know what she wants to tell me."
"Don't worry. She'll be okay." Chris looks at him and throw a gum at him."
"Thanks. This surely help me to relax." He takes two and put it in his mouth.

"Hey Sam, so.... what's the matter" Taylor bring two cups of coffee along with him and gives it to Sam. "Well umm... It's about Josh. I mean... I know it's gonna sounded cruel of me but... I just broke up."
"Wait, what??? Why though? You guys fight or something?" It really shocked him to hear because it seems like both Sam and Josh had a great time together.

"No! Absolutely not. Nothing like that. He's nice and else. But... I'm aware of me that couldn't remember anything from the moment before the hospital thing... So I don't really know what happened to us. But after I going out with him... I feel something wrong with me, like I don't feel anything after all. Are we ever broke up or something before? Like...maybe we're not a couple the moment before I forgot them all?" He got absolutely nothing to say, considering what Sam told him back when she stay at his place after Josh proposed her. He knows she didn't happy with that but he just can't tell her about that now. "Umm... As long as I know, nothing happened before the incident, why?"
"Well, nothing. It's just... I already made my mind, I can't waste his time to wait for me when I literally can't give him my feelings."
"I get it..." He remembers the time when his feelings start to fade away for Sam, in the middle of their relationship. But it's all back to the place now. "Did you ever feel like that?"
"Yup. With someone that I really love. There is this one time when I lose a little bit feelings, so I'm looking for another thrill from another girl and I ended up hurting her. And I regret it because it seems like we would never going back together."
"Well, that sucks."
"Yeah, I hope you are not doing the same mistake. You know.... If someday you regrets that you broke up with Josh."
"I guess not. I can feel it, I don't know how, I just can. And....Honestly, hearing you saying that... I never know you can be sentimental like that." She smirks, trying to thinking. "How close are we before the incident?"
"Umm....very close, like my relationship with Dave."
"Ah, I see. That explains why I feel this big trust on you." It's kind of makes Taylor feel bad hearing that Sam trust him, remembering how he cheated on her.

"Oh, by the way, who is the girl that makes you this.... sentimental?" Sam finished her coffee and looks at him. "Maybe...just maybe... If you really love this girl, I can help you out."
"Haha... No.. you can't. She's pretty much not far away." He tries to change the subject before he can slip and say that it's her. "Alright... Now about Josh... How is he when you broke up?"
"Umm... I think.... It didn't surprised him. He's smile to me and say that he already saw it coming. I don't know what it means, that's why I asked you weather or not something happened between us before the incident."
"Oh... Okay... So he's cool with that?"
"Well, not really. It really hurts him, but it's like... He accepted it, didn't fight it at all. Not because he doesn't love me, but because he can see how I feel about him."
"Yeah... He's a very good guy."
"I know... That's why I can't do this to him. I want to make it clear."
"Sure..." Taylor takes a deep breath and then gets up. "Anyway, I'm gonna get back to my place. Should I call Chad to pick you up?"
"No, that's fine. I can take a bus."
"Wait, don't take the bus tonight. You better call Chad. You might still forget your route."
"I'm working it out. Don't worry."
"No, I insist. I'll call Chad."
"Chad is on a date with Nancy." She giggles. "I don't want to bother him."
"Okay... I'll call a cab then." Taylor goes out to make a call while Sam get all her stuff and put them in her bag.

When she finished doing that, Taylor came back, pissed. "There is an accident. You might can't go back home from here. No bus or cab around here. I'm gonna book a hotel room for you okay?"
"No, no, no. You call a lot. Stop that. I can stay in here until tomorrow."
"But everyone is leaving at the end of the night. They're gonna lock this building. What about your place? It's not that far from here."
"Well.. we can go there if you don't mind."
"Absolutely not. Let's go there instead."

"If you say so..." He gets his key and takes her hand. "Come on. My car is back there." Sam gets her bag and hold his hand. It feels kind of weird for her because it feels like very familiar of her to hold his hand. But she brushed the thought away because of the possibility that they did that a lot for being close friends.

They get into his car and Sam quickly noticed the smell. "Is this camomile?"
"Yes... You recognize it?"
"Kind of. This is my favorite smell. You always get this in your car?"
"Yeah... Since years ago. Why?" He's scared that she will actually remember anything.

"Nothing... I like it."
