All that you can't leave behind
Chapter 2: Rachel Stevenson
" I met Rachel Stevenson in the 6th grade.", said Greg "She was the most beautiful girl I'd ever seen. I had a huge crush on her and at the 9th grade dance she walked up to me and kissed me. After that we dated for 5 years. I really loved her. I never loved anyone else like that. When we went away to college we broke. The long distance thing was too hard. She stayed in town and I went away. After I finished college we got back together. We moved to New York and 2 weeks later we were engaged. A week before our wedding I came home and she was gone. She had packed bags and left. She left me a note. I had been offered a job at the lab but I wasn't going to take it. For her. She didn't like Vegas. Too much noise. I don't understand why she'd be here. Anyways the note that she wanted me to be happy and that I couldn't be with her. She wanted me to take the job and get on with my life. I don't know why she really left but all I know is that's not the reason. I tried to find her. After she left. I spent all my money trying to find her. I even hired a private detective. I never even found a trace of her. It really sucks to know she might have been right here in Vegas all along. I never got over her. I mean she just left. And when I heard her name I just knew. I knew it was her. And when I saw her on the floor it wasn't just the fact that she was dead it was the fact that all hope was gone. I always thought that I'd find her one day. I always thought she'd find out where I was and she'd come back. I was starting to get over her. It was really, really hard for me. And I don't know. I think I might be back to square one."
"Wow, Greg I'm so sorry. I had no idea."
"You wouldn't. I didn't want anyone to know, it's embarassing."
"Greg, it's not embarrassing. It's sweet. It's good to see of you. In the lab you're such a joker. Not that that's a bad thing because it isn't. This job is so overwhealming, without some kind of distraction we'd all go crazy. It just so happens you're sometimes that distraction. Which is good. Sometimes all you need is a distraction." #
Right after Sara said that Greg kissed her. It was short and quick and seemed like he did it without thinking.
"Oh my god Sara I'm sorry I didn't mean to do that-"
"Shut up Greg." Sara said as she kissed him again. This was more passionate and they apart gasping for breath
"Bedroom?" Sara asked.
"Second door on the left." Sara grabbed the neck of his shirt and pulled him towards her as they entered the bedroom where he kicked the door closed.
