Nina made he way up to the platform and started connecting all the cords of her keyboard and speakers. She looked across at the crowded room and started to feel nervous. The pub has never been so packed before at one of her performances. Lou gave her a wave and encouraging smile behind the counter, staring around happily at the many customers. She sat down on her stool and turned on her keyboard. At that moment, the door of the pub swung open and in entered Taj and Jack. Both guys had a look of surprise on their faces, as they had never seen so many people in the pub before. They both glance around the room, trying to find the attraction and were both shocked to see Nina on the platform, about to perform. Jack, who was desperately trying to find out who this Nina is, took his seat at the bar and stared at her, waiting for her to start. If Nina felt nervous before, it was nothing compared to what she was feeling now. She possessed a strong feeling of embarrassment of what she was about to sing. She cleared her throat and started to play the first notes, determined not to look him in the eye throughout the entire song. All I know is I'm lost without you, I'm not gonna lie. How am I gonna be strong without you, I need you by my side… Jack stared up at her in awe. That voice sounded so familiar. He was sure that he had heard it some place before. After several moments of trying to figure this brainteaser out, he concluded that it must be from his lost memory, and was rejoicing about this fact. Nina took a deep breath, and sang the last line, looking into Jack's eyes. I'm lost without you… Their eyes were connected, and they felt like time had frozen. Jack suddenly felt a trigger in his heart and he felt something so strong and powerful towards her that he never felt before. Is this a new feeling? Have I felt this way about her before? His head was filled with questions, but he lost his train of thought when the entire pub broke out into applause, to which he joined in. Nina gave a thankful smile to the crowd and made her way to the back of the pub to collect her pay and bag.
Lou happily walked into his office with a huge smile on his face. "You were fantastic Nina! The crowd loved you! The audience grows every week and the profits are rising considerably! You, my dear, are going to go places! Here's your pay, and I've added a bit of a bonus!" he finished with a wink and dashed back out to serve more customers. Nina opened the envelope and a look of shock appears on her face. 250 was inside. It was too much. She confronted Lou outside, but he shook his head and replied that she deserved it. She made her way across the pub, being pat on the back and congratulated by the audience, which did not include Jack anymore, she had noticed. When she got through the doors, she felt someone's hand grasp her arm and pull her to the side. Startled, she was about to scream before she recognized the face. Jack. She looked up at him with a hint of fear in her eyes, not wanting to talk to him. "Hey," he said, "you were great up there." "Ummm…thanks. Excuse me but I've got to get home." Nina replied and turned to walk away. "Wait!" he cried, with a note of desperation in his voice, "Why are you avoiding me? Did I do something wrong? I don't know who you are, but I know that you were in my life the past year. I do not remember anything, so please help me remember. Tell me who you are." She looked back at him with a hurt look in her eyes. "There's no point," she replied, choking out her words, "I'm leaving Erinsborough tomorrow. I am moving to Brisbane, where my parents are. They moved there last week to settle into our new house. Goodbye Jack." She turned away and started to run before he could even process what he just heard.
Jack slammed the door behind him, startling Lori and the Scully's in the living room watching TV. "What is the matter dear?" asked Lyn, with a concerned look on her face. "Tell me who Nina is!" Jack exploded, "I need to know! Who is she? How do I know her? I need to know! Stop keeping it from me!" Everyone looked at one another with fearful looks, not knowing what to do. Lori, determined to save their relationship, stood up and replied, "She was just a new girl in school who had this pathetic crush on you. She was nothing." Jack looked back at her in disgust, "Then why do I love her? I can't believe you would lie to me like that." Lori took several steps back in horror and shame. Jack turned to his parents and demanded an answer. Lyn finally gave in and retrieved a videotape from the cabinet. The tape of the play. They all sat in silence and watched the tape. With each passing moment, Jack's feelings for her grew and erupted with the final scene. Without a word, Jack stood up and made his way to bed. He had decided to stop her tomorrow from getting on that flight.
Jack raced to the airport the following day at dawn. As he didn't know when her flight was, he was willing to wait there all day if he had to. He ran to the front desk and asked when the flight to Brisbane was. "The Qantas flight from Melbourne to Brisbane departs at 7:00am today at gate 12," came the reply and a smile. He looked down at his watch, which read 6:30. He immediately ran towards the customs but was refused entrance without a ticket. Cursing himself, he ran back the desk, pulling out his wallet at the same time.
He was running down the final corridor and gate 12 was in sight. Picking up his pace, he finally arrived and glanced over the queue of people waiting to board the flight. And there she was, toward the end of the queue with her bag on her back. "Nina!" he yelled and ran up to her. She looked up with a shocked look on her face and stepped out of the queue to talk to him. "What are you doing here?" she asked, but was replied with a kiss, just the one in the play. Though surprised, Nina found herself returning the kiss, not caring that the entire queue was watching them, only focused on the love of her life in front of her. She felt her knees shake and he felt his palms start t sweat. Slowly they pulled apart breathless and their audience quickly looked away, pretending they did not see anything. All the memories and feelings flooded back into Jack's head, but all he could concentrate on was the love of his life in front of him. "I love you," he proclaimed. "I love you too," came the reply. They both stood there staring into each other's eyes for what seemed like eternity until Jack finally regained his train of thought and remembered what he was doing there. "Don't go," he begged, "I need you here." Nina stared back with a hurt look, "I have to go. My parents are expecting me there and they have started a new life for us there already." He then suddenly had an insane thought, "then I'll go with you, if that's ok with you." Nina looked back with a look of confusion, but gradually a huge grin appeared on her face. She wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly, laughing and crying at the same time. She released him, stepped back, grabbed his hand and together they made their way to the boarding gate. She turned to him with a smile and said, "I knew you would remember me."
