 Nat and Tay are dressed in all black from head to toe. They are walking around at a park in sunny, Los Angeles CA. Tay looks around the park to make sure that they are the only ones that are there. "Are you ready to do what we came here for Nat?" Nat takes a deep breath, "Yeah, I guess I'm ready." Nat takes out a bunch of his old memories of Megan and their time together. Some of the memories that Nat takes out are; a CD of Megan's favorite band, a few photos of them together, a stuffed teddy bear that she had won him at the carnival, and Megan's album that she had produced because she was a singer. Nat throws all of the memories in a barbecue grill. Tay takes out a match and a lighter. "Any last words before I proceed to burn these memories that you have of her?" "Honestly, I just want to move on and forget about her and what she did to me." 

 Tay lights the match and throws it at all of Nat and Megan's old memories. Nat feels an intense amount of emotions; ranging from sadness and relief as he sees all of those precious memories he used to hold dearly burn. Nat all of a sudden gets the best of his emotions and starts to let the sadness run wild as he sheds tears. Tay notices his best friend crying, and goes up to him and hugs and consoles him in his time of need. 

 A few months pass by 

 Nat is at his apartment in LA, working on some new short stories while listening to his all-time favorite band, Blink-182. Their new album, Nine that they had released has been on repeat for Nat ever since it came out. His concentration is lost when all of a sudden his doorbell rings. Nat thinks to himself a little confused as he wasn't expecting any visitors at this time of night. He pauses the music, gets up off the couch and looks at the visitor through the door hole. Nat slowly opens the door, "Ummm... Megan? What are you doing here?" He says with a confused tone to his voice. "I know I have no reason to be here anymore but, I came here to say I'm sorry for cheating on you with Stanley. I'm sorry I took the baby away from you and raised it with Stanley. It should've been you all this time not him. I made a terrible, horrible mistake and I truly regret what I did to you. I love you and I would love to start all over with you. So, what do you say?" Nat looks at her as if she's crazy. "I'll gladly say No. You ruined me Megan. You took away my child. And you knew how much I wanted to be a father. You put me in a dark place. But it's okay, cause I met somebody a thousand times better than you, her name is Rose and unlike you, she's beautiful inside and outside. So, I ask you nicely to please leave my house or else I'll have to file a restraining order against you." Megan is clearly filled up with anger, frustration and so much rage, "Okay, okay. I'm leaving now geez."
