Stuck in you

"Were your parents the cause of my parents' death?" Finally, Rachel had asked it. How she wished that Jack would say they weren't. She wanted to prove that her aunt was wrong. If he would say that his parents had nothing to do with her parents' death and that he knew nothing about it, she'd still accept him. However, he froze and dodged this time. His eyes couldn't deceive her. Although he didn't say it, she could tell that he knew everything. But why didn't he tell her? All of a sudden, his warm embrace felt disgusting, and his eyes that she trusted a lot looked so cold.

Rachel didn't want to stay with Jack any longer, so she broke free from his embrace. She loved him, and her heart ached when she heard him beg. But she couldn't afford to see his face anymore. Before her heart could soften, she must stay away from him immediately.

"We can't continue the wedding anymore," she said before she walked away.

"Please..." That was the last word she heard from him.

Jack had begged her. He swallowed his pride and almost knelt down in front of her, but she still disappeared in his life in the end. She didn't even say goodbye.

He looked for her crazily. Even his friends were worried about him, so they supported him. He had asked all the people that Rachel knew, but he got nothing. Even Lea and Celia, who were her best friends, didn't know her whereabouts. It seemed that she was really determined to vanish in his life forever.

Rachel had actually gone to a city where no one knew her. She needed a place away from everyone for her to calm down and learn to forget all the memories related to Jack.

Jack was in a noisy bar. He wanted to benumb himself with noise and alcohol, so he could not think about Rachel and how powerless his begging was. He drowned himself in alcohol every night. If he still couldn't find Rachel, his life would probably be in danger. Michael and Marcus, who were really worried, stayed with him. They tried their best to convince him to stop drinking, but they failed. He even got worst. Now, he indulged himself in alcohol all day long.

Rachel was also having the worst days of her life. She was in a strange city, where there was only loneliness around her in the empty room. She could never feel Jack's warm embrace, and there would never be such a beautiful and homely place again.

She cried many times in her sleep and woke up in the middle of the night weeping, especially when she realized that she could only lean on the cold wall of her room, and not on his solid chest.

Because of it, she started to hate evenings and sleeping.

Gradually, she became weak. But one day, she came to her senses. She couldn't continue living a life like this, so she cheered herself up. She walked downstairs and went to a restaurant across the street for breakfast.

Since she decided to run away, she shouldn't be depressed all along.

With a smile, she pointed at the steaming buns on the tray. "Five steamed buns, please."

"Okay." The owner's bright voice resounded among the noisy crowd. She was wearing a faded apron that had been washed for no one could tell how many times. She picked up the steamed buns with tongs, put them in a plate, and handed to Rachel. She then asked, "Is there anything else you want?"

Rachel looked around. There were many customers in the restaurant and almost all of them had ordered steamed buns with a bowl of soybean milk or rice noodles.
