Chapter 346: Powerless
"Hi, Jacob, I’m Anna, I’m sorry, I missed your call again. It’s really busy here. Will you be there at five o’clock this afternoon? I’m five o’clock here, and you’re eight o’clock... nine o’clock. , 9 o’clock in the morning... Ah, I can’t believe it, I missed you again. I’ll call again later. If you’re not there, I hope I can find you on Monday."
"Hey, I...I'm going to bed now, try again tomorrow. I know you want to tell me about the magazine, but I'm really... uh, exhausted, I have to get up early to work tomorrow. So... …You, you can send me an email and tell me all the details. Then tell me, when will you be free...well, talk to me next time, goodbye."
London and Los Angeles, the difference of time, the distance of space, Anna and Jacob's life have entered a completely different track, abruptly cut off the connection between each other.
Hope slowly lowered her shoulders, frowned, and looked at the big screen in disbelief. The sweetness was so turbulent that the cruel reality was completely caught off guard. She was stunned in the same place. She didn't even have time to refute and protest, Anna. And Jacob has continued his life.
Anna got a job in a magazine, and she was so busy every day that she didn’t even have time to breathe; Jacob opened his own studio and took orders one after another, and his life became fulfilled. stand up.
"... The first week of June." Jacob has become vicissitudes of life, his messy scum makes him look a little decadent, and his messy hair hasn't been taken care of for a while. "We can postpone it to June 10. "
"After that you will go to England?" Jacob's supplier asked jokingly.
"No..." Jacob shook his head and answered very simply, but hesitated in the ending, and finally shook his head firmly to deny, "No, no, no, no." A series of words seemed to confirm his own. idea.
"No?" The supplier showed a look of surprise.
Jacob took a deep breath, "No, we talked about it two months ago. Both of us agreed not to... uh..."
"Can you just be friends?"
"Yes." Jacob nodded, but a trace of melancholy and dazedness slipped across his eyes, and even his smile added a little bitterness.
Hope suddenly struck a spirit, one year, and one year has passed in a blink of an eye. A year ago, Anna graduated, then stayed in Los Angeles all summer, and was deported when she came back again; now, it's actually June again, a year is too fast.
Hope quickly turned his head, only to find that William, Graham and others hadn't noticed this detail at all, but Tessa had noticed, and both eyes were surprised. This kind of detail hidden in the script is really too subtle and will be missed if you are not careful; but it is vital to the whole story.
That brief conversation revealed too much information. During this year, Jacob traveled to and from the UK so frequently that his suppliers knew everything well. It seemed that after every batch of orders, Jacob would go to London. His love with Anna Everyone has heard of stories. However, two months ago, both of them decided to give up.
In the understatement, revealing a touch of sorrow, Hope suddenly fell silent, how sweet the happiness before, and how bitter the pain is now.
Anna sat in the bar and ended a busy day at work. She finally got some free time to gather with friends, relax, talk and laugh, and it was so lively. But suddenly, their conversation mentioned Los Angeles, Anna's expression became lonely, and her exhaustion pulled the smile from the corner of her mouth heavily, smiling and laughing, she fell into her own sadness. So she went back early and climbed into bed/bed with devastation and exhaustion.
Jacob sat in the bar, surrounded by friends, chatting and discussing, but he seemed out of place, as if the noise around him had nothing to do with him, all the noise disappeared, the loneliness between his eyebrows became extremely quiet, he Just like this, I was trapped in another world.
"I'll be back in a while." After all, Jacob couldn't sit down anymore, turned and left the bar, and dialed Anna's phone. "Hey." Anna's voice came over. Jacob touched his eyebrows lightly and said hesitantly, "Hey, Anna, how are you?"
"...I'm fine." Anna was also stunned, a little at a loss, and she paused for a moment before she said, "I was just... a little surprised. How are you?"
"I moved." Jacob stood on the side of the street, watching the traffic, and Anna's polite answer came on the phone, "That's good. Yes, that's good."
The conversation between the two people was stumbling and intermittent, and the back and forth of an "ah" and an "oh" made the conversation fragmented. There was not even a clear content, just a polite entertainment.
In the end, the two people hung up the phone. Jacob looked at the traffic in front of him, lost in a daze, and looked at his mobile phone, lost in thought, as if his soul had been out of his body.
Anna tried to lie down and fall asleep, but she couldn't breathe, almost out of breath, she sat up again, picked up the phone, dialed the phone, and breathed, but the hot lungs still did not absorb With any oxygen, the whole face becomes ruddy due to lack of oxygen in the brain.
Jacob's cell phone rang, his face showed a look of joy, he immediately answered the phone and greeted happily, "Hey."
Just hearing this voice, the hot tears slipped down, "Hi." Anna replied choked, but could no longer speak, Jacob's voice with a little nasal voice came from the other end of the receiver. "Hey?" With a trace of questioning concern, he easily defeated all of Anna's defenses, crying.
Tears flowed through the palm of the hand and dripped down, as if being wronged by the sky, but unable to vent it, biting the lower lip tightly to avoid crying, "I want to ask, do you want to come over?" he said. After that, I just laughed, crying and laughing, the sharp pain reached its extreme. "Come here now? Uh, me, am I waiting for you here?"
The corners of Jacob's mouth stiffened slightly, and the light under his eyes was like stars swaying in the wind, rippling with invisible water, and the joy of happiness fainted from the depths of the dark brown pupils, "Okay." Smile. It overflowed from the eyes, dyed a rose color on the corners of the mouth, and chuckled directly.
The two of them laughed loudly into the receiver of the phone like fools.
"Okay, see you in half an hour." Jacob raised his palm and wiped away the embarrassment from the corner of his eyes.
Anna nodded, "Okay, see you in half an hour."
Hope tightly covered her mouth, tears completely blurred her vision, and the whole world was shrouded in a hazy halo, she could not even tell whether it was happiness or bitterness. That intense yearning passed through the Atlantic Ocean, through the North American continent, from London to Los Angeles, and then penetrated the big screen, from the movie to the bottom of her heart.
She could deeply feel the inseparable bond between the two.
William fell silent, all the irritability, all the impatience, all the contempt had disappeared. The madness of love firmly bound the two young people together, hot and strong, pure and simple, and hit his heart fiercely like moths.
Anna was lying on the bed, holding her mobile phone, and weeping with joy; the next second, Jacob was lying beside her, and the two of them were playing and laughing. Jacob was like a child, lying on Anna not willing When she got up, Anna's silver bell-like laughter reverberated in the room.
It's such a simple picture, but William can taste the taste of happiness on the tip of his tongue, his vision is slightly blurred, he quickly raised his hand, wiped it off in a panic, and then regained his calm. He stalked his neck and looked stiffly at the big screen. , Did not dare to turn his head, lest his embarrassment be seen by others.
The two are so happy that even the laughter becomes brighter. But soon, the atmosphere became a little bitter again, Jacob asked half-jokingly, "Did you see other men during this time?" This topic silenced both of them. Anna asked the same question. After throwing it back, Jacob also chose to avoid it.
Neither of them would answer. In two months, things seem to have quietly changed. But they quickly decided not to pay attention to these annoying things, but to focus on the present, to focus on their happiness and joy.
Anna received the courier, which was from the United States-Jacob sent the "Anna's Chair" and placed it in front of Anna's desk. Anna was like a child, dancing around in circles.
Anna took Jacob into her life. In a short period of time, things changed a lot. She met new friends, she opened up a new job, and even her parents had undergone many changes. He was totally unable to Integrating into her topic, everyone is asking about their future, everyone is asking why he can’t move to London, everyone is discussing the possibility of Anna emigrating, and everyone is worried about whether they can go on like this. Does it work...
The world of two people ~lightnovelpub.net~ is no longer just two people. There are too many chores in their lives. She owned her life, he opened up his world, from Los Angeles to London, for him, it was just a vacation, and for her, it was just a respite of life.
The two people cuddled tightly together, but the distance between the two people was getting a little bit wider. That kind of fatal flaw caused by space and time is plainly presented in front of them, but they can do nothing. This kind of powerlessness dragged their ankles and slowly fell into the abyss.
When Jacob left London and returned to Los Angeles, they both returned to their lives.
Hope didn't respond, she didn't make any response, and even her sadness was gradually disappearing at this moment.
However, when she saw Jacob turning around happily, thinking that the person behind her was Anna, but she didn't want to see a strange face, her eyes slowly dimmed, and she clearly saw happiness fall apart. Gradually swallowed by loneliness, and then returned to peace, finally accepting the fact that he and she are no longer together.
Suddenly, Hope's tears burst.
