Chapter 5 Left Out of the Picture

作者: Joe Yo
Charlotte stood at the front desk for a long time without saying a word.

"When did he leave?"

The receptionist checked the records. "Around 3 p.m. His family came to pick him up."

Charlotte pulled out her phone and called me. It rang once before the call was rejected. When she tried again, she couldn't get through.

Forrest stood beside her, pursing his lips. "He's just waiting for you to chase after him. If you go running back now, he'll pull this stunt every time you two fight."

  • I Was Never Her First Choice   Chapter 9 A Journey of My Own

    Six months later, the new tour route I managed officially launched.That day, our route happened to take us past a high-speed train station. After the tourists got off, I led them across the old platform and told them about the rail lines that once ran through the station and the stories behind it.Someone asked, "You know this place so well. Do you take the train a lot?"I smiled. "I used to."When the tour ended, a coworker handed me a letter. "The front desk just sent this over. Someone asked them to give it to you."Charlotte's name was on the envelope.There was no lengthy explanation inside, just an address for a coffee shop and a single sentence. "Let's meet one last time. I won't bother you again after this."At first, I didn't want to go, but after work, I still showed up at the agreed time.…Charlotte was already there. She'd lost a lot of weight since I'd last seen her six months ago.The moment she saw me, she stood up. "Thank you for agreeing to meet me."I sat

  • I Was Never Her First Choice   Chapter 8 Four Years of Lies

    Three days after Charlotte left, our class group chat suddenly came alive.Forrest posted a long message.He claimed that nothing had ever happened between him and Charlotte. They'd never crossed the line.The 16 times they'd sat together on the train were because she had bought the tickets, and he hadn't had a say in the seat selection.As for the gatherings I'd been excluded from, he claimed our classmates had invited him at the last minute and he hadn't known I wasn't invited.As for the job and the apartment, he said he'd simply followed Charlotte's decisions.At the end of his message, he even called me out."We've been buddies for four years. I've always considered you my closest friend. I don't understand why you're blaming me for everything just because of Charlotte."People quickly jumped in to defend him."Forrest's getting a raw deal here.""Charlotte was the girlfriend. If the people in the relationship couldn't even keep their distance, why blame Forrest for ever

  • I Was Never Her First Choice   Chapter 7 No Turning Back

    A month later, I started a new job in my hometown.I worked on city tourism routes. Every day, I guided visitors through historic streets, museums, and old train stations. I also prepared tour commentary and compiled feedback on the routes.On the day my first route officially launched, I spotted a familiar name on the reservation list.Charlotte.I didn't contact her or cancel her reservation. She'd bought a ticket, so she was just another tourist.…At 9 a.m. on the day of the tour, I handed out headsets and tour booklets at the meeting point.Charlotte was last in line.When it was her turn, she didn't reach for the booklet. "I'm not here to sightsee."I thrust the booklet into her hands. "I'm working right now. Whatever you need to say can wait until the tour is over."With no other choice, she followed the group.Along the way, I explained the history of the old streets, helped elderly visitors adjust their headsets, and arranged rest stops for tourists traveling with c

    As soon as the photos were taken, Charlotte hurried after me. "We need to talk."My father stepped in front of me. "He's made himself perfectly clear."She tightened her grip on the flowers. "Mr. Bailey, I just need to say a few things."I asked my parents to wait nearby.Only then did Charlotte hold out the flowers. I didn't take them.She set them on a nearby chair and lowered her voice. "I canceled the lease, and I've already transferred all the money for the deposit and furniture to you. You can still get your position in Riverdale back. My mom has already reached out about it."I looked at her. "I'm not going to Riverdale."Charlotte frowned. "You've always wanted us to work in the same city, haven't you?""I did. Not anymore."She opened her mouth, but just then, our graduating classmates began filing out of the auditorium. The class president called everyone over for one last group photo.Forrest was there, too. He held his graduation cap, looking rather unhappy.Some

If you go running back now, he'll pull this stunt every time you two fight."She ignored him and headed for the elevator. "Pack your things. We're going back to campus tonight."He stared at her in surprise. "We still have two days left on our graduation trip. I thought you hated people who threw tantrums?"She stopped walking. "If you want to stay, be my guest."It was the first time she'd ever left Forrest behind for my sake, but I was no longer there to see it.…By the time they returned to campus that night, the dorms were already locked.Early the next morning, Charlot

  • I Was Never Her First Choice   Chapter 4 He Was Already Gone

    The next morning, I stepped out of my room and found Charlotte and Forrest waiting by the elevator.Charlotte's expression was cold. She was clearly still angry about me threatening to break up with her.Forrest, however, gave her a playful nudge. "Come on. He was angry and said it in the heat of the moment. Are you really going to hold it against your boyfriend?"Then, he slung an arm around my shoulders. "I've been trying to smooth things over with her all morning. She finally agreed to stop being mad."She picked up where he left off. "Fine. I'll let last night's argument slide for Forrest's sake. Just don't threaten to break up with me over every little thing."I glanced at her but said nothing.Our itinerary for the day included the old town, the museum, and the riverside night market. These were the places I wanted to visit when planning the trip.I had arranged to take pictures with Charlotte at every stop. Yet, when we reached the old town, she joined Forrest in line for
