Farewell to Forever Chapter 22
The first day at Alex's house felt so awkward. Alex almost always confined himself to his workspace. Some students, as well as female students living on the second floor, had a special staircase around the garden that led directly to their place without passing through the first floor.They even used a special entrance gate on the other side of the garden. Consequently, the first-floor house was almost always empty.Claire's task was to clean all the rooms on the first floor, such as the living room, kitchen, dining room, and Alex's workspace. Meanwhile, the second floor was cleaned by its occupants. This was completely different from Alex's initial words, which made her think she would also clean their rooms.Claire got to know the boarders, all of whom were seniors. After a week passed, Claire understood a few things. Alex rarely smiled in front of the housemates; he always had a stern face and rarely talked to them.Alex enforced discipline in this house like a military commander.

That morning, Claire understood one thing for sure. It's not easy for someone to run from their past. Because when the time comes, the shadows of the past will return to trap and try to destroy them. Reminding them of who they really are and where they should be.For Claire, the trap appeared when her mother and Lucas waited in front of the university gate, screaming her name. Claire saw two shadows of her past that she no longer wanted to remember, and her heart felt like it stopped. She quickly hid behind a university building pillar."Claire!!! If you don't come out now, I'll find you and kill you," Lucas shouted frantically in all directions. The man had been repeating his threats for some time. "If you don't come out, I'll come in and search for you! You can't run from us."Fear gripped Claire immediately, she felt suffocated, and her hands trembled violently. Her face turned pale. She knew Lucas could enter the university, search for her, or beat anyone who tried to stop him. Th

"Claire, listen to me," said Alex, his two legs already powerless on the floor. The man stared sharply at Claire and strengthened his grip. Alex swore not to let go of Claire's arm."Let me go," shouted Claire frantically, trying to pull away, hitting Alex's hand and even attempting to walk out, dragging Alex's body on the floor.Alex now felt genuine fear. He felt like he would lose the girl forever if he let her go now. Claire could hit him or hurt him or even kill him, but he would never let her go. Because he was truly afraid of losing her. Alex tightened his grip.Never!Don't leave me.Claire finally stopped hitting Alex's hand and suddenly burst into loud sobs. Sitting on the floor, tears streamed down her face, and sadness was audible from her mouth.She didn't know what to do anymore. She didn't want to go back home, didn't want to go to a strange place she didn't know. She didn't want to leave this place, where she had started to feel comfortable with her life, finding peace

At the end of the second year since Claire's arrival, Alex sat at the piano and his fingers played a classical piece in the silence of the night. His entire family could play musical instruments because his grandfather required them all to.The notes of the piano filled the entire living room. Most of the students living with them had gone back to their hometowns for the semester break. Alex played the piano only on holidays when most of the house's occupants were not around. Alex was afraid of disturbing their studies.Claire came out of the kitchen after finishing cleaning their dinner plates, and she chose to sit next to Alex on the piano bench. Alex smiled softly at her."Do you have a music request?" he asked.Claire laughed softly, "I don't know much about classical music. Just play something soft."Alex's fingers immediately moved, pressing the piano keys and producing soft, flowing notes. Claire closed her eyes, listening to the captivating rhythm of the music.
