"Have a seat Stace." Dave offered and she took the seat. Trish and John followed suit. Trish was now tapping her fingers to the beat. John just smiled, he was waiting for something… Then suddenly, slow music filled the room. Stacy's eyes immediately went to Randy's direction. She was right, they were still dancing together.

"Whatever!" she just said under her breath.

"What was that Stace?" Trish asked when she heard Stacy say something but it can barely be heard over the loud music. Trish saw Stacy was looking at Randy and Torrie's direction.

"Nothing… Umm Trish, I think I need to hit the sack early. I… I suddenly don't feel good. My head's throbbing painfully." "And my heart's beating painfully fast." She wanted to add but didn't.She answered truthfully.

"Are you sure honey? Do you want John to give you a ride?" Trish asked worriedly.

"No thanks. You and John should definitely have a great time without me. I don't have to ruin your night." She replied.

"Are you gonna be okay?" Trish pushed.

"Yeah, don't worry. I'm alright. I just have a stupid headache." She answered and turned away.

"Hey, where's Stacy going?" John asked Trish when he noticed Stacy walking away.

"She said she wants to go home. She's not feeling well at all." She answered.

"Oh, okay. Maybe she's… Uh… Whatever. Wanna dance?"

"Sure!" Trish said and the two of them headed to the dancefloor.

"See you later big guy!" John patted Dave's shoulder who was still staring blankly into space.

"I must have some flu… Why am I always thinking about it?" Stacy thought to herself when she all by herself outside the bar. She sat on a nearby bench and massaged her temples.

"I know I hate him." She said to herself once again.

"Hey there sweet thing!" a very familiar cocky voice said from behind. She quickly jerked her head towards the speaker. She was shocked to see him here outside with her.

"It's you. What do you want?" she said irritably.

"Aww! You don't have to be so harsh! I followed you because I want to make a truce with you." He answered.

"Oh really?" she raised her brows sardonically.

"Promise." He crossed his heart and raised his arm as a sign of promise. Stacy couldn't help but smile.

"What do you want?" Stacy asked in a more good-natured manner.

"I saw you come out of the bar and decided to stalk you and say hi." He just said and ran his hand through his brown hair.

"Save your charms. It isn't gonna work this time." She answered and casted a sarcastic smile to the newcomer.

"What happened to your heart of gold? Was it replaced by a heart of stone?" he asked curiously as he took the seat right next to her.

"Haha. Very funny." She just said.

"Hey what's wrong? I know you… You smile but behind that smile there's something different." He said, urging her to tell him about what she was feeling.

"Nothing." She replied shortly.

"Oh c'mon!" he said in return.

"Really, there's nothing wrong." She pushed, he stopped bugging her but he didn't believe that there's nothing wrong.

"Was it because I was dancing with some chics in there?" he asked and chuckled a bit.

"Don't be too thick! I didn't even saw you in there!" she laughed.

"I was just trying to make you laugh. C'mon Stace… Tell me what's wrong. You know I can be your confidante. I already proved myself right?" He urged her.

"You really won't stop until I tell you, am I right?" she smiled at him.

"Right! Now spill it out." He answered and put his hands behind his head.

"Alright… I'm just disappointed that you guys always give up so easily." She said and looked him in the eyes.

"Huh? Oh! Yeah… What… What makes you say that?" he asked awkwardly.

"You just give up so easily when girls don't stop to give you attention. Then you go after other girls to forget us. And you treat us like you don't even know us anymore." She answered directly.

"Whoa! Not all guys are like that! I mean there are some. But definitely not me! Would I dare come here and sit with you if I'm something like that?" he answered defensively.

"Are you sure? I mean c'mon. You didn't even try to go after me after that… After what happened… to us…" she asked him.

"I didn't know you want me to…" he answered after moments of silence.

"Let's just forget about it, okay?" Stacy answered slowly.

"It was you who opened the topic in the first place." He answered back.

"It's just like old times… We always have quarrels over small matters." she said in a faraway voice.

"Yeah? You think so? So I'm still your friend?" he asked her in return.

"Since when did I stop in considering you as a friend? We have always been, even before we became 'us'." she smiled.

"Thanks for being here with me..." Stacy said gratefully. "I really need some company right now."

"Thanks too. Now can I have a kiss from my friend?" he asked hopefully.

"Dream on! Hug's okay." She said.

"Oh! Alright! Can I have a hug, friend?" he asked again.

"Sure, friend…" she said and let him embrace her.

"Thanks for stepping into my life." He whispered. "I love you so much." He thought.

And right that moment, another guy walked out of the bar just in time to see Stacy and him sharing a hug. Randy looked at them bitterly. But he pretended to not feel bad.

"So they're back together? Hey, if she's happy then I'm happy too." He said to himself and walked away.

"You okay?" Torrie asked seductively.

"Yeah, come one let's go." Randy replied and put an arm around Torrie's shoulders.
