[SATURDAY]

It was their last day in Vegas. That morning [10AM], everyone went out to eat at the Hard Rock Cafe. After eating together, the gang went to Shark Reef Mandalay Bay to hang out and take pictures together. [2PM] Hours later, they got back to the hotel to rest up. Andrew was at the bar in the hotel where Annie usually goes for a drink. Jennie saw Andrew sitting there drinking and came over to talk to him.

Jennie (*says as taking a seat next to Andrew) : Hey.
Andrew : Hey.

Natalie, the bartender, came over to offer Jennie a drink.

Natalie (*asks Jennie) : can i get you anything to drink ?
Jennie : a Mai Tai please.
Natalie : coming right up.

Natalie went to make Jennie’s drink. Then Jennie and Andrew started to talk.

Andrew (*asks) : so how are you and Mark doing ?
Jennie : we’re okay.
Andrew (*asks) : just okay ?
Jennie : yes.

Natalie came back with Jennie’s drink and slide it in front of her and walked away.

Jennie (*takes a sip of her Mai Tai & says) : it’s not what you think Andrew.
Andrew (*asks) : i think it’s already clear about your feelings for Mark.
Jennie : i try and try so hard to get his attention on me but it doesn’t work.
Andrew (*asks) : what do you mean ?
Jennie : Mark does belong to Annie and i see why now.
Jennie : i’m done chasing after him and letting them be together.
Andrew (*asks) : and why are you like this all of a sudden ?
Andrew : you've been chasing after Mark and always been one step closer than Annie.
Andrew (*asks) : why the change of mind ?
Jennie : you can tell when someone looks at you deeply and instantly fall in love.
Jennie : Mark and Annie has always been looking at each other like that.
Jennie : i dont want to be that person in between the two anymore.
Jennie : and i can't chase after him forever. i have to move on somehow.
Jennie : i want them both to be happy Andrew.
Andrew : they are happy with each other.
Jennie : its time i give up on Mark and move on.
Andrew : thats good to hear.
Jennie : you know, Annie told me something a while back about you.
Andrew (*asks) : oh really ?? what did she say about me ?
Jennie : that i was blinded by Mark's love and i didnt notice you this entire time.
Jennie : thats why this time im going to make a commitment.
Andrew (*asks) : what is it ?
Jennie : im going to be there for you from today on out.
Andrew (*smiles & says) : i like that very much.
Jennie (*smiles & says) : promise me that we wont grow apart from each other anymore.
Andrew : of course i promise and i have never been apart from you.
Jennie : i promise too.

Jennie and Andrew were happy with each other. Jennie gave up on Mark completely and they went back upstairs to the room. Everyone were hanging out together in one room. Some were watching TV, hanging out on the balcony, and talking with each other.

[3PM] Everyone went back to their rooms to pack up their suitcases getting ready to leave for the next morning. Annie had some shopping bags that she wanted to bring out to the car so it would leave her some trips. She asked the girls if they needed to bring anything down and Jennie gave some to Annie. Then Laura and Irene gave Annie some bags too from their shopping trip. Annie had one hand full of bags and figured just asking the guys if they needed to bring some down to the car too. Mark helped Annie bring down the bags to the car and came back up to the room. Annie and Mark stopped at the lobby of the hotel because Annie had to tell Mark something important. They stood there to talk.

Annie : there’s something i need to give you Mark.
Mark (*asks) : what is it ?

Annie takes out the annulment papers from her back pocket of her jeans and hand it to Mark. He took it and read the papers. He was shocked to see that Annie had already filed an annulment for them and wanted to act like the wedding never exists.

Annie : it’s the annulment papers from the wedding.
Mark (*asks as looking up at Annie) : is this what you really want ?
Annie : as of right now, i really don’t know what i want.
Annie : this is something we should think about.
Mark (*asks) : do you have a copy of this ?
Annie : yes, i do.
Mark (*asks) : and have you sign it yet ?
Annie : no, i haven’t.
Annie : it takes two signatures, me and you, to have this annulment happen.
Mark : i won’t sign it if you won’t.
Annie : our options are open to us at anytime.
Annie : i have a lot on my plate right now and i don’t want to sign it just yet.
Annie : i think it’s better if we just left it alone for now.
Annie (*asks) : is that okay with you ?
Mark (*smiles & says) : of course.
Annie : keep the papers in a safe place.
Mark : i will. you too.
Annie : of course.

Jennie came towards Annie and Mark to talk to Annie.

Jennie (*asks to Annie) : can i talk to you ?
Annie : sure.
Annie (*says to Mark) : you go on first. we’ll be up in a sec.
Mark : alright.

Mark left upstairs to the room. Annie and Jennie both walked over to bar area to order drinks and talk.

Natalie (*asks Annie & Jennie) : anything to drink for you ladies ?
Jennie : Martini please.
Annie : Margarita please.
Natalie : coming right up.

Natalie went to make the drinks quickly and came back. Annie and Jennie started to talk to each other.

Annie (*asks) : so what did you want to talk about ?
Jennie : i’m finally giving up on Mark now Annie.
Annie (*asks) : why ?
Annie : you loved him your entire life.
Jennie : Andrew says the same thing when i talked to him earlier.
Annie : he isnt wrong Jen.
Jennie : Mark doesn’t love me like the way he loves you.
Annie (*asks) : what made you come to this decision ?
Jennie : i see the way he looks at you Annie.
Jennie : its different from the way he looks at people.
Jennie : you and him have a good connection, you’ve always had.
Jennie : i dont want to be in between you two anymore.
Jennie : im giving up now and walking away from it all.
Annie (*asks) : are you sure you want to do this ?
Jennie : yeah. ive been thinking about it for a week now.
Jennie : you belong to him Annie. dont let him get away again.
Annie : i feel so bad that your giving up on Mark because of me.
Jennie : its not your fault. i want people to be happy instead of unhappy because of me.
Jennie : Mark is a lucky guy to have someone like you.
Jennie : keep him as long as possible and dont let him go.
Annie : thanks Jen.
Annie (*asks) : what are you going to do about Andrew ?
Jennie : we are going to remain close friends.
Jennie : i promised him that i will be beside him this time.
Jennie : we wont be apart from each other anymore.
Annie : thats good to hear.
Jennie (*smiles & says) : yes, it is.

Annie and Jennie paid Natalie for their drinks. They took the elevator upstairs to their rooms to get ready for their last dinner together.
