 As Taro and Sadie were walking peacefully on the road, they walked by a coffee shop chatting and laughing. And at the same time, Billy and Rose were coming out from the Café, Sadie immediately stops at her tracks watching them from a far, hugging, smiling, kissing each other on the cheeks, as if they have been couples for a long time, it was hard for her to watch. Immediately when Taro saw them he glances at Sadie and cleared his throat.

'' Here's the café, after you me lady'' Taro said trying to divert her attention back to him but she didn't flinch she was still starring at Billy who hasn't notice her yet.

'' Sadie....''

''Huh?...''

'' Are we going in?'' Taro asked opening the door to the café but Sadie still didn't budge, with just one turn Billy sighted Sadie and for some time they just starred at each other.

''Sadie...'' Taro said squeezing Sadie's shoulder gently, she turns and looks at him then nodded, and they entered the café.

'' Billy....? let's go?'' Rose asked and Billy's attention went back to her, he smiled and nodded.

 The waiter kept two cup of coffee on Sadie and Taro's table, with one slice of cake, chocolate cake for Taro and vanilla for Sadie.

'' Thank you..'' Taro says to the waiter and she bows slightly before leaving. Sadie zoned out, she was absent minded.

''Sadie...the order has arrived'' Taro said leaning in with a concern expression on his face.

'' Thanks'' Sadie said, and took a bite of her cake.

'' I'm sorry...i know what you're feeling.''

''it's okay'' She mumbled, thinking about the memories of her and Billy.

SADIE'S THINKING

  '' Sadie will you always be there for me WHENEVER i need you?'' Billy said as the rain poured, creating a great sound of it's own.

'' i will always stay by your side, you're kind of my everything....you're the only person that i trust.'' Sadie replied smiling.

'' Thank you, and i will also stay with you all the time.....i will always be there for you....'' Billy said smiling.

'' Promise... promise you will always be there for me'' Sadie said holding out her hand and without hesitation Billy grabbed it smiling.

'' i promise you Sadie...i will always be there for you'' Billy said and wrapped his hand around her shoulder as they smile happily, watching the rain fall.

END OF SADIE'S THINKING

 Sadie let out a big sigh as she drops the cup of coffee, and turns to Taro with smile.

'' Thank you Taro...for bringing me here'' She said.

'' it really helped.'' she added.

'' are you being sarcastic?'' Taro asked his voice calm and one of his eyebrows raised, Sadie shakes her head slowly.

''no really, thank you so much'' Sadie said again.

'' you're welcome'' Taro replied.

 '' well am full'' Taro said with s sigh.

'' Eh?!, What did you eat? and you're full? i mean this only made me more hungry'' Sadie said.

'' You know i don't have a big stomach, I'm completely different from Amanda...she is a big eater'' Taro said fixing his shirt.

'' oh you don't know that.....'' Sadie said laughing. And Taro smiled seeing her happy again.

'' Should we get going?, before we summon the beast..''

''who?'' Sadie asked smiling.

'' Amanda of course!'' Taro said and Sadie laughed.

 Amanda took out her phone checking it, because it was ringing, when she saw the caller she almost cried but she soaked it in, the caller was Jason.

'' Hello'' Amanda said.

'' Hello...Amanda...how are you?'' Jason asked from the end of the line, he was breathing heavily his voice sounded nervous.

'' Get to the point why did you call me?'' Amanda asked her face serious so as her tone.

'' Amanda...i.....want....to meet you...can we meet?'' Jason asked nervously, Amanda hesitated but soon agreed.

'' Hmm.... let's meet at the bridge.'' Amanda said and quickly hung up, she let out a big sigh and blinked twice.

'' S....S....Sadie i need to speak to her where is she?'' Amanda glances at her phone and started texting.

 Sadie and Taro were having a conversation laughing, and then suddenly Amanda's text came in. 

'' Sadie where are you?'' Amanda's text came in.

'' Oh look....Amanda texted me'' Sadie said to Taro and he chuckled.

'' We are coming back'' Sadie said out loud texting. back

''ok.....'' Amanda texted back.

''Let's go Taro...we have summoned her'' Sadie said quickly getting up from her sit and Taro followed her.

 Sadie opened the door to Amanda's room with Taro by her side and Amanda hugged her instantly, Sadie was confused, and surprised.

'' What happened.?'' Sadie asked pulling Amanda away.

'' Yeah Amanda.....why are you crying?'' Taro asked equally concerned.

'' *sniffs* Sadie....Jason called me and he said he wanted to meet me.'' Amanda said wiping her tears.

'' Really?''

'' Yes...and i agreed..'' Amanda said looking sad.

'' Then go since you already agreed'' Sadie said holding both Amanda's shoulder.

'' Oh that Jerk Jason?'' Taro asked.

'' yes...'' Sadie replied.

'' Do you want us to follow you? we can go together...'' Taro asked.

'' No... i will go by myself....'' Amanda said Sadie and Taro nodded in understanding

'' do what ever you want.'' Taro advised her.

''ok...do what your heart says call us when you need help or when you feel uncomfortable ok?'' Sadie said and they silently left leaving Amanda to her thoughts.

 '' I hope everything will turn out well..'' Amanda thought and wipes a tear.

 Sadie turns on the Tv again with a glass of water on her hand, she looked at it confused and curious.

'' Hello it's Karan again'' it says.

'' We are back....again but this time with no story of Charlotte carter, the only thing that we know, is her body was taken to her family members in Malaysia, this is the photo of her funeral and her mourning family....the killer hasn't been found yet, they are no suspect yet too, because the murder took place a while ago, but i hope investigators will figure out the killer, catch them and then let them rot in jail.'' The news guys said and Sadie winced.

'' oh it's so hard to hear that knowing that i killed Charlotte.....i don't even know why i killed her , now the police will be on my butt all the time even if they don't know that i killed her...'' Sadie said and drank her water gulping it down hard.

 '' What do you want?.....why did you call me here?'' Amanda asked the breeze playing with her hair, the view of the sun setting was mesmerizing, and beside her was Jason his blonde hair shining because of the ray from the sun.

'' I called you here to apologize, i want to talk something important with you'' Jason replied his voice smooth and calm.

'' What is it?''

'' i want us to get back together'' Jason said and Amanda moves back in shock, with the breeze swaying, she closes her eyes and looks down.

'' Why? aren't you dating Faiza?'' Amanda asked fidgeting her hands which were clutched in a fist.

'' About that....we were just faking it to get a rise out of you'' Jason said looking at the river below the bridge.

'' Eh? you were faking it..... and why should i believe you?'' Amanda said.

'' You should you see...''

FLASHBACK

Faiza and Jason stood on the rooftop, Jason's hand is crossed in defense while Faiza smirks keeping the same posture.

''What do you want to talk about?'' Jason asked his tone rough.

'' Am here to tell you what your loving girlfriend has been up to'' Faiza replied.

'' Faiza am not ready for your nonsense, don't think you can make me brake up with her by manipulating me'' 

''I'm not'' She said and slowly brought out her phone keeping a grin on her face, she handed it over to Jason showing him a Video of Amanda flirting with another boy, more like being close to someone who's not him.

'' This is fake...'' Jason said shock, returning back Faiza her phone.

'' No it is not Jason..... you just do not want to believe it.'' Faiza said smirking, playing with her phone.

'' How could Amanda do this to me? we were happy together'' Jason said sadly.

'' I know....i feel bad for you too'' Faiza said pretending to be concerned.

END OF FLASHBACK

 Jason let out a big sigh, while Amanda watches the river , and how the sun made it looked golden.

'' And then i discovered the video was fake ,i was happy it was fake, but i felt guilty for accusing you for no reason'' Jason said keeping a soft tone.

'' Yes it was bad, but am glad....that you realize your mistake'' Amanda replied her voice low. '' And you know what i believe you'' she added nodding her head.

''Really...why?'' Jason asked curious.

'' Because Faiza can do anything to see my down fall i do not blame you Jason'' Amanda replied and Jason smiled happy that everything is out in the open.

'' Amanda...''

'' Hmm?''

'' I'm sorry'' Jason said his voice genuine his eyes full of hope.

'' And please i want you back in my life'' Jason added and Amanda smiled.

'' I will do absolutely anything to have you back Amanda'' Jason said his voice pleading,

'' You will do anything?'' Amanda said crossing her arms with a smirk, Jason nodded slowly.

'' Yes i will do anything....''

'' Beg me first..'' Amanda said.

''Huh?''

'' Kneel down and beg me'' she repeated, smirking.

'' But...'' Jason said but looking back at what happened he willingly kneeled down. Before his knee touched the ground Amanda helped him stand up she pats his shoulders.

'' I was just kidding...'' Amanda said.

'' And you did it without hesitation so...i....forgive you and i will get back with you'' Amanda said swinging her body back and forth smiling.

'' Really...? you for give me? and we can get back together'' Jason asked happily.

'' Don't talk too much or i will change my mind'' Amanda said.

'' Oh my mouth is zipped...thank you , thank you, thank you'' Jason said and without a second thought he swopped Amanda on his hand spinning her around her dancing with her, laughing as she smiles too, what they all have been waiting for.

 Sadie phone ringed, loud and excessively from the back Amanda shouts at Sadie to pick up her phone because it was too loud and she did, the caller was Billy maybe he also wants to talk things out like Jason did.

'' Billy?....what does he want?'' Sadie asked nervous and annoyed.

'' Sadie pick up the phone..'' Amanda shouted, and Sadie immediately picks it up, The silent after that was more intense then the ringing itself.

'' H-Hello Sadie?'' Billy called out on the end of the line.

'' Yes...'' she responded.

'' i want to discuss something with you...'' Billy said.

'' i don't wanna talk to you'' she replied.

'' it's important please Sadie,'' Billy said.

'' Is not appropriate to say it on the phone i want to meet you now'' Billy added.

'' But it's so late at night....you want me to come out now!?'' Sadie asked IN disbelief.

'' I want to talk to you...'' Billy said again.

'' about what?''

'' Don't worry am outside the house at the courtyard.'' Billy said.

'' huh?'' She asked shocked

'' don't huh me, come out please'' hearing the sincerity of his voice she agreed to go.

'' ok i am coming... wait a moment'' She said and hang up the call.

'' what do you want me here for?'' Sadie asked her hands crossed, the sound of the owl hooting fill all the silence in between.

'' I want to tell you something i have been hiding for a long time'' Billy said and she nodded.

'' Today you saw me with Rose right?''

'' Right...''

'' i want to tell you that we're dating'' Billy spilled out quickly.

'' I know..'' Sadie replied calmly.

'' you knew....?'' Billy asked his mouth slightly open in surprise.

''why didn't you tell me?''

'' why should i?'' Sadie asked.

'' why shouldn't you?'' he replied.

'' have you ever told me something about all this...no, right? why do you want me to tell you?'' Sadie replied moving a little closer to Billy who is shock at the moment.

'' You never told me you love Rose..... and you didn't let me know you were confessing to her..'' Sadie said.

'' i was scared you wouldn't let me date her since you hated her..'' Billy said.

'' excuse me....me hating someone does not affect or concern you'' Sadie said.

'' And who are my to you? just a friend, am not your mom to judge who you will date or who you shouldn't... you could have told me, your feelings i will understand and not ignored me we could have cleared things out, we will not have seen this day. The time we went out the three of us you completely ignored me...why?'' Sadie asked her voice a little higher.

'' I'm sorry...i know i broke your heart..... but i couldn't hide it anymore Sadie, so i came here to clear things out'' Billy replied.

'' You promised, you promised me you will also stay by my side, you broke that Promise Billy'' Sadie said her voice low, and emotional.

'' You think apology will be great...? keep thinking that . Billy.... i thought i had lost you but i never had you, i thought i knew you but i never be me, now am trapped in my thoughts claiming you will set me free...but you didn't'' Sadie said.

'' I'm sorry if my words rhyme they just popped up anyway..''

'' i waited so long for you'' Sadie said.

''I'm sorry Sadie, i didn't know that and i hope we will continue to stay friends even if you don't forgive me'' Billy asked his eyes sparkling with hope.

'' *Scoffs* Friends? Billy do you remember that plushy?, that cute elephant stuff animal?''

''yes i do....'' he replied.

'' it got burned down in the fire....just like how our relationship has burned down....i don't know how to help you, i thought we said we'd be honest with each other....and take revenge together.....''

'' you see that's your problem'' Billy interrupts.

'' you always want to take revenge, there is always revenge on your mind....that's not how to live, you should learn to forgive in this life Sadie.... just how i forgave Rose and i forgave Mary....for killing my mom *sniffs* do you think i forgot no....i forgave then so that i should live happily...''

'' i forgave them and now am living my best life, Sadie you will have to forget all that'' Billy added hoping to convince Sadie, but she just shook her head.

'' That's not how i am'' Sadie interrupts. '' you clearly know am not like that i don't forgive easily, i take revenge on anyone that does injustice to me or messes with me, and i will avenge my whole family Billy..'' Sadie said her voice raised higher. 

'' Sadie...''

'' Let's not talk about this..'' Sadie said holding up her hands dismissively and Billy slowly nodded and the tension between then became palpable.

'' See Billy...the reason why i was affected with what you did to me is that i love you Billy, i love you so much.....i did since the third time we met...Billy...but i never got to tell you'' Sadie said looking down.

'' I know it's just unexpected But i do feel like that....but i understand if you don't like me back that way....it is true that first love never lasts, and no matter how you love someone it's not a must that person will love you back *smiles* but am happy since you're happy Billy.'' Sadie said.

'' Thank you for letting me know that....and i respect your feelings...but i do not love you like that and am sorry'' Billy said feeling guilty.

''It's okay Billy. It's late go and rest good bye''

'' You might never see me again, even if you do it will not be the same'' Sadie said patted Billy on the shoulder and waved goodbye before going back inside the house, Billy watches her as she walks away feel with regret but also relief that Sadie knows everything and won't create a scene.
