Jack's POV:

"Whooo! This is life! I missed this, Jack, whoo!"

I shook my head as Sam screamed loudly before taking her shot.

We were at the exclusive bar with some of our friends, the last place I would have imagined Sam drinking and swaying to the loud music on the dance floor. She seemed to enjoy every beat of the piercing sounds that almost made our ears explode. But even though she's smiling, she still can't hide the real emotions that silently show up in her eyes.

I never thought she would invite me here, but if this is her way of forgetting her problems even for just one night, then I'll be just on her side.

"Hey, let's go in the middle!" She said taking my hands but I grabbed her by the arm.

"Sam, wait, you're drunk already."

"Ohh, yes I've been drinking but I'm not drunk yet." and she giggled.

"Come on, Jack, don't kill my mode. Let's go before the music changes."

"Haist, fine!" I drank the remaining content of my glass before letting myself be dragged to the dancefloor.

By the time we reached the middle, she started screaming again.

"Whoo! If only I knew that going to a bar like this feels great, I would have done it four years ago! I would have avoided being stupid that night and what I felt for him would never have deepened!"

"Sam!" I tried to stop her but she continued dancing while screaming.

Samantha's POV:

I couldn't help but scream and let out the frustration inside me. I don't know, I also couldn't explain but it gives me some relief.

Jack kept tugging my arm as she tried to stop me, but instead of listening to her, I continued to scream.

I was just screaming the things I should have and shouldn't have done before. I know it's too late and for sure nobody would care even if I've lost my voice all night.

"This is life! I love my life!"

I continued to dance and sway to the fast, piercing rhythm of the music that currently splitting in the air and making out the dancer in me.

I never stopped nor even sat down every time the music ended and changed it to a new one. Tonight, I really wanted to be wasted and exhausted, so that when I get home, I couldn't think about my problems. I will go straight to my room, slump my tired body in bed and fall asleep. And when I wake up tomorrow, that's when I will face and fix the mess that I started. I was the one who started it, so it means that I have to finish it too.

Jack already left me and gone back to her seat, but I remained dancing and having fun like there was no tomorrow to come. The mixtures of sweat, the different types of perfume and the smell of sweet and strong alcohol filled my nose but I ignore it.

But after a few minutes, someone accidentally hit my arm.

"Ouch!" I screamed and immediately turned to see who it was only to be surprised when I recognized him.

"Samantha?"

"Paul?" We uttered in unison. Surprised were written in our both eyes when we recognized each other.

Paul was one of Dale and Luke's teammates on their basketball team back in college.

Wow, look who's here?" He said almost screaming next to my ear.

I laughed at him as I screamed too.

"It's been a long time, Paul, how are you?"

"Well, I'm fine, Sam. Honestly, I was surprised to see you here. I didn't know you also go to a bar."

"It's only my second time, actually."

"Really?"

I nodded and later decided to invite him to our table. I was about to ask him if he could still remember Jack, but they already greeted each other before I could open my mouth.

We started having a conversation and I asked him about his life after college, but when he returned the same question to me, I shook my head.

"I got married."

"Oh, w-with whom?"

"Who else, to your captain!" Jack was the one who answered for me.

"Captain--- you mean to say, Luke our basketball captain?"

"Exactly!" It was from Jack again.

"W-Wow! Well, congratulations."
