Love Me Slowly, Lose Me Gently

I am having a heart attack when Scott Lakin locks me inside the car.

It's because my pain is frightening his childhood sweetheart.

In response to my desperate pleas for help, he merely utters coldly, "I'll let you out when you apologize."

I go into shock and have to be rushed to the hospital. I call Scott a dozen times, but he just blocks me.

Finally, after I get discharged, I see him carefully feeding his childhood sweetheart chicken soup.

"Have some food, darling. What if the baby in your belly is hungry?"

After that, I return to my hometown without saying a word and stay there for half a month.

After blocking me everywhere except the music streaming platform, Scott suddenly starts frantically searching for me.

"Jennie, why didn't you add me back on Facebook this time?"

After bidding my mother goodbye, I turned on my phone to find a Facebook friend request from Scott Lakin.

"Jennie, you've got some nerve unfriending me on Facebook," his message read.

Half a month ago, Scott had blocked me on every platform. He had been annoyed by me calling him over and over. The only platform I didn't get blocked on was freaking Soundcloud.

He'd assumed that I would beg him to make up with me like I always did, but he never expected that I would unfriend him on every platform.

If he wanted to contact me now, he'd have to send a friend request first.

I pretended not to see the notification and put my phone in my bag. When I walked out of the train station, I found Scott standing there.

"Where the heck have you been? Why haven't you come home? If I hadn't tracked your location down to this train station, I would never have found you."

He stared at me accusingly, as if he'd only just realized today that I hadn't been home.

I pursed my lips. I was about to tell him that I'd gone to visit my mother when I heard his mocking voice.

"Don't tell me that you ran away from home because you were mad at me. If that's the case, you should have just made yourself scarce. Why did you even bother coming back? Ultimately, you just wanted my attention."

With that, he didn't even wait for my response before grabbing my suitcase and dragging it with him.

"Let's go. The wedding dress we ordered is ready, and the store wants you to go try it on."

I smiled self-deprecatingly. If it weren't for this, he probably wouldn't even have realized that I'd disappeared.

Well, that was fine. Before I left, my mother had said that she wanted to see me in my wedding dress. At least I could make her happy.

The wedding dress had been ordered three months ago. It was a bit of a struggle to put on now.

Seeing me wrestling to put on my dress, Scott couldn't help but frown. He glanced down at his phone,
