Tracey's heart was filled with complicated emotions as she returned to this place full of their memories.
They used to be a loving couple in school. Who knew that they fell apart later. When the news was released, her social media were full of messages, everyone was asking her what had happened.
At that time, Tracey just arrived in the United States, every time she saw those messages, it was like adding insult to injury. On the way to school, she thought about all the things that happened in the past few years again.
It was getting late, and most students had already gone home. Only a few boys were still playing basketball.
There was a person sitting by the football field. As she getting close, she smelled the wine from Sean. There were also a few wine bottles around his foot.
She had never seen such a decadent Sean. In the past, even though he was exhausted in playing basketball, he had never been like now. He would come over and sat by Tracey, getting the water she handed over with a big smile.
Now his eyes were full of sadness and trance. He looked at Her quietly.
"Tracey...¹' He spoke in vague and drunkness.
"Did you drink a lot?" Tracey looked at the wine bottles aside. With his capacity for liquor, he would not be drunk like this. He must have drunk a lot before coming here.
"Not much, not much at all. Tracey, look at the stars tonight." Sean said while kept shaking his head.
"I'm here, can you tell me about my mother now?" Tracey was only interested in her mother.
"Have a seat with me, just for a while." He pated the ground next to him.
Tracey had no choice but to sit down. Sean pointed to the track in distance. "Tracey, do you remember the 800-meters long-distance running? You didn't like sports then."
"I was exhausted after running for only 300 meters. It was you who carried me for the rest of 500 meters." Tracey's eyes softened when she was recalling the past of them.
Because of their family, even if the teachers knew that they fell in love at a too early age did not interfere with them. That was why they were so famous.
In fact, she was in a period that day. Not only did her stomach hurt, but also she didn't dare to use too much strength to run.
Sean didn't think she could run any further, so he carried her on his back to finish the rest distance with others' notice. At that time, Tracey was so moved that she thought she would marry only this man.
Remembering her naive ideas, Tracey sighed with emotion. Being young was so romantic, as long as a man was good to her, she would love him forever.
"I thought you've forgotten."
"Even if I want to forget it, I'm afraid I can't do it. Besides, I don't want to forget those things at all," Tracey said calmly.
"Tracey, you can't leave them behind like me, can you?" Sean thought she would agree with him and suddenly felt very happy.
However, Tracey replied indifferently, "No. I remember it not because I can't leave them behind, it's because our past taught me a lesson that never making stupid mistakes again."
Sean's face was stiff. "Tracey, I really didn't want to betray you. I wanted to propose to you on that night three years ago."
