Tie Me Up - S01 E12

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 12

A Landslide of Sex

A few years of life cannot fit into a suitcase.

Looking at the empty house, I am a little disoriented.

It is not until Sebastian helps me pack my luggage and loads it into the car that I reluctantly drag my steps out of the shabby apartment.

"Are you tired?" Sebastian asks me as he grips the steering wheel.

I curl up in the passenger seat and say glumly, "Yes. It was harder than I thought."

"I'm sorry. I didn't think you would be so uncomfortable ......" He looks a little hesitant as the car stopped at a red light as if he sensed some slip of the tongue.

I read the second half of the sentence in his expression and then smile, indicating that I didn't mind: "As a matter of fact I should. Steven mentioned to you about my childhood, isn't he?"

He nods, "A little. He said you became a little insecure because of that experience."

"True. I don't even remember how many times I moved back then, 20? 30? Or more."

"Was it because of your family?"

"Yes, my mother was a drug addict. She only spent the most time in two places in her life, the police station, and rehab. We were often reported by neighbors and fled from one place to another......like street rats. These are experiences you may not even experience."

"Not really, Steven and I have moved a few times following my father's job transfer. I can understand you, even just a bit."

He seems to remember something and purses his lips, showing cute canine teeth: "I hated my father so much because of it that I once secretly poured an alprazolam in his coffee cup before we flew......"

"Oh no, you didn't!"

"Yes, I did." He twinks, " I was hoping he would immediately pass out so we would never have to get on that damn plane."

"Hahahaha, I bet it was Steven's idea."

"You bet it was him. As soon as we move away, we'll lose contact with the little ones we've made friends with, and that's a godsend for the kids."

I laugh and reply, "Exactly! I never had friends for more than a year until I was 15 because I was always changing schools and neighborhoods......"

"At first, I tried to pick up the spirit of making new friends in my classes, sending postcards to my old best friends, and writing down everyone's birthday on the empty column next to my address book, remembering it better than all the formulas and theorems, making sure Not miss every blessing ...... "

"But then I gave up because I found all these efforts were in vain."

My voice gradually lowers.

He senses my mood and asks me with concern, "Why do you say that?"

"Because the disappearance of a relationship starts when you don't show up in the other person's life. "

"Every time I move, it's like saying goodbye to a past life, and being forgotten is the real end of that goodbye."

The traffic light turns red and the car stops at the intersection.

After Sebastian heard my words, he turns his head and gently rubs my hair with a tone of unprecedented tenderness and seriousness.

"Hey, don't be so sad, Andrea."

"I know you suffered so much in the past, but look, now you're all grown up."
