"Are you alright, Angela?" George Lucas, who brought the girl to the front of the car, asked worriedly.
"I'm fine... I'm fine..." The pale-faced girl shook her head reluctantly, then thought of something and asked, "Are you sure no one saw me?"
"Okay, those guys just got the news and only had time to block the front door." Lucas spread his hands, "Besides, there are other people attracting attention - when did you start to be afraid of these guys?"
"No, no... I just have other things." Angela forced a smile and waved goodbye to the old man. Just as soon as she got into the car, she slumped in her position, and only felt dizzy in her head, as if her whole body was constantly circling and falling down, never ending in sight.
"Miss, where are we going?" Buckett, who was driving, asked at this time. He didn't see Angela's answer for a long time. He glanced at the rearview mirror and asked several times. The girl finally came to her senses, but she was still looking straight ahead with a pale face. After a while, she suddenly sat up straight and said in a hasty tone, "Go to 128 Blenkert Street!"
Although it only took more than ten minutes to reach the destination, Angela urged Buckett to drive faster along the way. Although the sadness in her heart increased every time she got closer, the "hurry up" in her mouth was always Did not stop.
Finally came to the front door, looking at the brightly lit villa where she once lived through the iron fence, Angela bit her lip for a while before pressing the intercom.
"Who?" After a while, a tired voice came from the communicator.
"...It's me, Kate, don't interrupt the call." Angela swallowed, trying to calm down her trembling tone. "Can you let me in? I only need a few minutes, please, Kate…"
A few minutes later, the door opened automatically. Facing the light in the dark, Angela took a deep breath and walked in a few steps. It was not far from the gate to the gate of the villa, so the girl quickly found the figure standing at the gate.
"Hi, Kate." Angela greeted timidly, but the other party didn't answer or move. She turned her back to the light and couldn't see her expression clearly, obviously she didn't intend to let her in.
"What do you want to say?" Kate finally spoke, her voice cold and hard with a trembling that was barely noticeable.
"I think... I want to apologize... Kate, I'm sorry..." Angela stammered.
"Apologize? I heard right, dear Miss Angela, are you apologizing to me?!" Kate's sarcastic voice sounded, with an indescribable sharpness in her tone.
Angela's face was a little pale, but she defended calmly: "I know I have concealed it for too long..."
"Hidden for too long?" Kate interrupted unceremoniously, the trembling in her voice so obvious, "Do you know how long I've been waiting for you, Angela! I've been telling myself until last year, I It's just that I'm too suspicious, I should believe you, because it's very stressful to not see you, what can I get?! Even so, even if I'm sad and sad, I still stubbornly believe that you will confess everything, it's just an accident between you and them …And now, today, I know how stupid I am! You have been in a relationship with them for years at the same time!"
With a bang, Kate slammed a fist on the wall. Although she couldn't see Kate's expression clearly, her round eyes in the darkness still clearly expressed her anger and sadness. Angela's body trembled. She couldn't understand Kate's irritable temper. It was just that Kate had been accommodating herself. Such an outbreak had only occurred a long time ago, and the helpless girl could only plead and repeat. : "Kate, Kate, listen to me explain..."
"Do you know how worried I was when I saw you and gangsters in the street gunfighting on TV? Do you know how moved I was by what you said on the phone the day of 911?! Know how happy I was when you said you invited everyone to go on vacation after graduation Is it!" The other party's tone finally slowed down, and then brought a choked sob, "I love you, Angie, I love you... But, do you love me?"
As if a knife had been inserted into her heart, it was stirring fiercely. Angela covered her chest with a pale face, and her body almost bowed. She still pleaded in a weak voice: "Kate, I'm sorry, I was wrong, I Really really wrong, I was going to have a few more days... give me a chance, please... "
"Get out of here." Kate shook her head gently, and her voice finally brought a cry, "Leave me alone."
Saying that, Kate turned to cover her mouth and walked to the villa, the lights flashed, and her face was covered in tears.
"No, Kate, please..." Angela wanted to step forward to grab her, but she couldn't move her soft feet.
"Get out of here." After a heartbroken sentence, the door of the villa slammed shut in front of the girl's eyes.
Angela stared blankly at the villa, watching the lights inside go out one by one, tears streaming down her face unknowingly. Why... is this happening? If... If I were earlier... Wouldn't it be...
She turned sharply, wiped her tears, and hurried out of the vestibule to get into the car.
"Go to No. 71 Rennes Street, be quick." Angela said choked. No matter how she wiped it, tears would keep rolling out of her eyes. In the end, the girl simply gave up wiping, regardless of her image, picked up the phone and dialed, and the bodyguard in front remained silent except for silence.
After arriving at the destination, the message from the mobile phone was either that the dialed mobile phone was turned off, or the landline phone was not answered. Angela, who was almost desperate, jumped down without waiting for the car to stop, and rushed to the door to ring the doorbell.
"Please, Jesse, don't do this, open the door, Jesse." Angela, choked and muttered, rang the doorbell desperately, she knew that Jessica must be inside, just when the doorbell rang for the third time A window had the light on, only to go out immediately.
But no matter how Angela pressed it, there was no response at all. Finally, an old man who lived next to him was so noisy that he opened the door and stuck out half of his body and shouted, "If you press it again, I will call the police!"
The girl shuddered, and finally stopped, lowered her head and tried her best to control her emotions and said, "Right... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb you, I just... wanted to find the girl who lives here."
"No one responded after pressing for so long, she must not be at home." The old man said impatiently.
"I'm just... looking for her in a hurry..." Angela wanted to say something, but the other party interrupted unceremoniously: "You can come tomorrow! Don't look at what time it is now, you young people will Wandering outside all night, all night. If you press again, I'll call the police immediately!"
After the old man finished scolding, he entered the independent apartment, while the girl stood there for a while and finally returned to the car, tears rolling down her face again. Why... why didn't you give me a chance, Jessie
"Miss, where are we going?" Bucket's low voice rang again.
Angela didn't answer but stared blankly ahead with her blurry eyes. It wasn't until he asked again that he wiped away his tears and looked for the address book from his handbag.
"Hello, this is the Monte Carlo Hotel, what can I do for you?" The voice of a male receptionist in the hotel's lobby soon came over the phone.
"Please pick up Miss Natalie Portman." Angela controlled her emotions and said in a calm tone.
A few seconds later, an apologetic voice came from there: "I'm sorry, Miss Natalie checked out and left thirty minutes ago."
The phone almost fell out of her hand, and the girl who held her chest tightly tried her best to calmly ask, "Where has she gone? I'm her friend and I'm in a hurry to find her. She shouldn't be out at this late."
"It should be going to the airport. According to Miss Natalie herself, there is something at home that needs her to go back immediately."
With a slap, the phone dropped in the car, and a trace of despair flashed in Angela's eyes, which was slowly softening in the seat. She curled up her legs on the seat, hugged her knees and buried her head deeply. After a long time, she let out a heart-pounding sob. The shivering figure was so lonely, as if she had been abandoned by the world. .
The bodyguards were still sitting in front of them, silent as if they were petrified.
As the speaker's last syllable fell, the crackling balloon explosion and the spray of color bars suddenly sounded. The graduates who were still sitting in the chairs cheered and took off their hats and threw them into the sky. The lively graduation ceremony will always be their festival.
"Please laugh." The photographer said so and pressed the shutter, leaving a group photo of the girl in the bachelor's uniform with her mother, but the girl's smile never seemed very comfortable.
"You don't seem to be in a good mood, Chris." Elena, who was arranging her daughter's temples, asked worriedly.
"Probably because I haven't slept very well these days, so I look a little tired." Angela, who was a little pale, forced a smile and hugged her mother comfortingly, "Don't worry, Mom, I'm fine."
"Really okay?" Elena looked at her daughter without blinking, "Then why did Kate suddenly propose to me that she wants to retire from Brenkert's villa?"
"She quit the lease?" Angela showed a stunned expression, but immediately adjusted, "She probably wants to buy a villa of her own in Los Angeles. She can't keep renting a house like this, right?"
Seeing that her mother was still looking at her with questioning eyes, the girl sighed and pressed her shoulders: "Okay, Mom, everyone has their own secrets, you can't always think about knowing everything."
"Okay, okay, I won't ask anything, it's alright?" Elena opened her hand helplessly, and Jared finally walked over from the crowd: "Hi, dear. "
"You're finally here, Jedi, should I thank God?" Elena said calmly.
"Don't do this, Mary, I must have a few words with them on this occasion." Jared hurriedly defended.
"What else is more important than my daughter's graduation?" Elena asked.
"Okay, Mom," Angela rounded up, "Dad is always busy, we all know that."
"Hey, Chris, are you helping me or accusing me?" said the father dissatisfied.
"I'm just telling the truth." Angela shrugged a little naughty.
Jared looked at his daughter with his hands on his hips for a while, then shook his head with a smile, and said apologetically, "By the way, Chris, I'm afraid we won't be able to accompany you to dinner tonight."
"Why?!" Elena asked first with a frown.
"Because there is a must-attend reception tonight, we have to rush back to Los Angeles. You have to attend, too, Mary." Jared lip-mouthed his wife, Elena frowned even more, she was just about to What did your daughter's voice sounded first: "It's okay, Mom, you all go back first, anyway, I'll be back in a few days, and I'll just make up for it - and, I think Willie and Ike will agree with this opinion. ."
After thinking for a few seconds, the mother accepted the advice: "Okay, honey, be careful."
"We're waiting for you to come back, Chrissy," said his father, too.
After the two embraced, the parents said goodbye to their daughter and left. When the backs of her parents disappeared from the crowd, Angela quickly left the graduation ceremony, leaving those who wanted to strike up a conversation with her.
She found a secluded corner and took off her bachelor's robe, then sat down on a bench beside her and started to stay silent. When the hustle and bustle is far away from me, the joy of graduation and the presence of my parents for the ceremony evaporates. Instead, there is confusion, entanglement and pain deep inside.
When she rushed back to Cambridge a few days ago, she found that everything related to Natalie in the dormitory had disappeared. The administrator said that it was because Natalie rented an apartment outside.
Facing the vacant bedroom, Angela's heart seemed to be torn to pieces. She went to the classroom to the library and went to the places where she used to go to find Natalie. She wanted to apologize and make it clear to her, but it was a pity that the other party Although the color responded in a pleasant way, her eyes were always cold, and she didn't give her a chance to be alone at all.
Why were you so hesitant in the first place, why? Angela covered her face with a long sigh. She had never hated her indecision so much. At this moment, the phone rang suddenly, and the girl gloomily took it out to see the phone number and immediately revealed a pleasant surprise. She pressed the answer button tremblingly, "Kate... Kate?"
After a long time, a faint sigh came from there, and slammed into Angela's heart with grief and heartache with a thousand strength: "Angie... Let's end it."
The feeling of dizziness rushed into his mind, and Angela shook if she was not sitting on the bench, she might have fallen to the ground. The girl's pale face was breathing heavily, and the cold sweat on her forehead kept breaking out. After a long time, she spoke with difficulty and jerky: "You... you're joking... Kate..."
"I didn't," Kate over there sighed again, with a heaviness that was no bigger than death of heart, "Let's end it, I can't... I can't be with a... "
"Don't... don't do this to me, Kate..." Angela desperately covered her mouth to keep herself from crying.
"I'm sorry... I wanted to say I wish you happiness in the future... but I can't say it... Goodbye..." Kate's tone contained a hint of tears, and then hung up the phone.
"How can this happen... How can this happen!" Angela gritted her teeth and dialed the number, but unfortunately there was a voice that the user had turned off.
hateful! Anxious Angela suddenly raised the phone and was about to smash it down, but in the end she slowly put it down and hugged her head dejectedly. She wanted to cry but didn't dare to cry, she wanted to shout but she didn't dare to shout, because although this place is remote, there are still many people passing by from afar. She is a genius and a national idol and has her own plans to carry out. How could she do something that would tarnish her image? !
No, no, no, there is still a way to get it back. Angela suddenly raised her head and began to quickly pack up her things. Go back to Los Angeles immediately and ask Kate to forgive herself even if she begs.
At this moment, the phone ringing suddenly rang again, startling the girl. Angela picked it up a little frightened, and after seeing the phone number, her face suddenly turned pale.
Shouldn't you...
She pressed the answer button and tried her best to hold her breath. "Jessie... hi..."
After a long while, there was a low sob, Angela's heart was moved, and she comforted her with kind words: "Don't be like this, Jesse, I... I apologize... "
There was even more weeping, a sound like a knife engraved on the girl's heart.
"Between us... it's over..." came Jessica's heartbroken voice over there.
"Jie... Jessie!" Angela, who had just emerged from the abyss, was immediately squeezed by a fierce hand and pressed into the water, her body was so cold that she could barely breathe.
"I'm sorry, I don't want to be sad anymore. I don't want to be sad.
A tear fell from Angela's stunned face, and Jessica's plea cut her heart, which was already full of holes, into countless pieces. She never thought that she would bring so much pain to Jessica.
Hanging up again, the phone slid onto the chair. For a moment, the world seemed to lose all color, leaving only numbness and daze. Angela stood up like a walking corpse and staggered forward.
After an unknown amount of time, she suddenly realized that she had come to the front of the dormitory. The corners of her mouth twitched and she smiled miserably. She walked into the dormitory, came to her room, opened it and walked in.
"Miss Natalie?" With the professor's reminder, Natalie finally recovered from looking out the window.
She smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry, Professor Boville, I want to go to something else."
"It doesn't matter," Professor Boville looked out the window with a clear smile, "you will also become one of them in the next few days next year, I even think you have the strength to graduate now, this thesis I will It can be given an A+.”
He didn't notice the unnatural look that flashed across Natalie's face when she heard the word "graduate."
"Thank you, Professor," Natalie adjusted her emotions immediately, "It's an honor to receive such a comment from you."
"You deserve it." The old man shrugged.
"Then..." Natalie was about to get up and leave the other party's office when she suddenly thought of something and sat down again, "Professor, can you agree to my presumptuous request?"
"What is it?"
"I want to analyze a... lesbian psychology..."
