[] Chapter 8 []

Sammy awoke from the dark puddles, he got up and looked around. Nothing but ink surrounded him, he sighed and sat down watching the ink surrounding him, "I hate this place...but it's better than the studio," Sammy thought looking around.
Suddenly he heard another person arrive. He turned around and saw Henry, confused and anxious. "Sammy!" Henry called. "What in the hell are you doing here?" Sammy said with a confused tone of voice, Henry walked towards him trying to figure out how to explain why he was there,
"Oh I threw an axe to my head to make sure Aria couldn't make her 'perfect Bendy'. Henry said bluntly

Sammy looked at Henry confused, "I mean that's one way to put it?" Henry let out a nervous laugh, which quickly turned into a frown. He sat down next to Sammy and tried to think of something to clear the silence, "What really happened...Back then," Sammy said turning to Henry. "I- well," Henry stuttered. "You can't run away this time...tell me" Sammy said sternly,
Henry was stunned and thought for a moment, "We were good friends when I worked at the studio, and..." Henry stopped.
Sammy took a deep breath and spoke, "If it makes you feel better, I don't remember anything that happens in dark puddles when I come back." Sammy said with disappointment, "So tell me anything." He said his tone of voice turning more and more grey.

Henry's eyes were drawn to his ring, he looked at it and took a deep breath, "Like I said we were good friends when I worked here, and I would often go to your office to work, due to the noise in the art department," Henry paused, hoping Sammy would comment on the information he had just given him.
Henry continued "So when I went to war, it was pretty hard on me and you-" Sammy cut him off, "Wait how do you know that?" Henry looked annoyed with the question but answered, "Norman and Alison told me, in their letters." Sammy looked satisfied with the answer, "continue..." he said anxious to hear the rest.

"Uh, well when I got back..." he said fidgeting with his ring
He looked at Sammy who looked bored of his constant pauses,
Henry laughed nervously, "god there is never an easy way to explain what happened next" he said. Sammy rolled his eyes, "Just tell me already! It's not that hard to explain something to someone who used to be your friend." Sammy complained. "Well if you were explaining this to me you would be just as nervous as me right now!" Henry yelled. "If it's that hard than just tell me as bluntly as you need to Henry!" Sammy yelled

Henry was about to comment until he thought to take his advice into consideration. "You sure wanna know?" Henry questioned. "Yes! That's what I've wanted to know this whole time! So just tell me already-" Sammy was cut off when Henry kissed him. He was to stunned to do, or say anything about it.
Henry sat back where he was, looking away from Sammy

"That's why I've been hiding the past..." Henry said his voice sounding like he was on the verge of tears. Sammy was confused by everything that had just happened. "So you were hiding this the whole time?" Sammy said his voice shaking.
Henry nodded.

The dark puddles opened giving them freedom into the studio.
Henry saw this and got up, "You won't remember any of this right?" Henry asked. "No I won't" Sammy said disappointed
Henry started to walk to the exit of the dark puddles. Once Henry exited, he left Sammy confused, angry, and sad.
Sammy got up, and walked towards the exit, ready to forget everything that had just happened

It would be best to forget the past.
