One More Chance by Jaycelle Rodriguez

Chapter 62: This is what we called life!

~~~You, you turned and walk away. I closed my eyes to hide the pain inside. Though the feeling hasn't passed, sad to say our love didn't last. Please don't ask me to pretend, 'cause I know it's over. When I'm done forgetting you, you can say what you wanted to. Please don't ask me to pretend, 'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S OVER NOW~~~

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!"
