第28章 as long as youre there(下)
“所以你一開始決定隐瞞我,現在又想讓我知道。你究竟想要什麽Quinn?還有今天,你主動請我看這歌劇。Quinn,我不明白,你究竟要什麽?”Rachel已然是責問的語氣,她開始惱怒Quinn幾乎又要重新給她希望。
街燈只足以照亮Quinn的輪廓,可Rachel卻分明看見了Quinn明亮的眸子,她清淺的聲音竟有些不真實感,“I just want you(我只想要你), Rachel. ”随後的沉默讓Rachel幾乎要懷疑剛剛只是自己的幻聽,那個低沉的聲音還帶着沙啞繼續說道,“I want you, Rachel. I want to hold you, kiss you, and make you mine. That’s all I can think about for the past few weeks. I want nothing else, but your love, Rachel. I don’t need anything else, but your love.(我只要你,Rachel。我想抱着你,吻着你,讓你成為我的。這是過去的幾個禮拜我腦子裏唯一的念頭。我不想要其他任何東西,除了你的愛,Rachel。我也不需要其他任何東西,只是你的愛)”那明亮的眸子不僅僅閃爍着堅定,還有want(渴望), and lust(欲望)。Quinn眼中那強烈的欲望讓Rachel不禁微微顫抖起來。
“I don’t understand, then why…(我不明白,那你為什麽)”Rachel喃喃道。
“Why I tell myself to turn away whenever I see you and all I want is just to run to you and kiss you Because, Rachel, I can never survive if I ever lose you. Rachel, we are just high school students and one year later, I don’t even know where I will be while you are having your new life in here, in New York City, the most amazing city ever and living your dream. I don’t want just one year and then watch you leave. I know it sounds crazy for our age, but Rachel, I want a future with you. I want ten years, twentyyears, even fiftyyears, later we’re still together.(為什麽每次見你我只想跑到你身邊,吻你,卻不得不告訴自己轉身離開?因為,Rachel,我将永遠不能複原,如果哪天我失去了你。Rachel,我們只是高中生,一年以後,我甚至不知道自己将在哪,而你,你會在這有嶄新的生活,在紐約,在這最繁華的城市,過着你一直夢想的生活。我不想只要一年的時間然後眼睜睜看着你離開。我知道在我們這個年齡說這話很瘋狂,但是Rachel,我想要一個有你的未來。我想要10年,20年,甚至50年以後,我們仍舊在一起。)”Quinn的輕喃化成無聲哽咽,“I hate that I have to tell myself to walk away from you. I hate that I have hurt you again, again, and again. I hate our age. I hate that we don’t have control of our lives at 17. I hate…my life without you.(我恨必須要告訴自己遠離你。我恨一次一次又一次地傷你。我恨我們的年齡,我更恨17歲的我們掌握不了自己的命運,我最恨……一個沒有你的人生)”
“Quinn…”Rachel此時已是滿臉淚痕,她上前兩步抵上Quinn低下的額頭,伸手拭去她臉上的淚和自己臉上的淚,她這才第一次真正懂得Quinn的用心。她一直以為Quinn只是因為害怕別人知道,害怕Judy知道,或許這些害怕Quinn都有,她卻不知道Quinn最深的害怕,或者說願望,she wants a future, a life together. Something you don’t have to worry about when you’re a teenager. Something she has not thought about. Something, that she now wants as well, really bad. Quinn’s love is beyond her expectation. Quinn’s love is exceptional. How can she not love this woman (她[Quinn]想要一個未來,一直在一起的将來。将來本不是一個她們這個年齡所需要考慮的。這個将來是她[Rachel]所未曾考慮過的,是她現在非常非常想要的。Quinn的愛超出了她的期待,Quinn的愛是絕無僅有的。她怎麽能不愛這個女人?)這是第一次,Rachel想到以後,想到未來,一個她和Quinn幾十年以後仍舊在一起的未來。想到這,Rachel抱緊了Quinn的脖子,“Quinn, I want that too, us together, even 50 years later. I want you for my entire life, which is totally a stupid, crazy, and insane thing to say,you know, for our age.(Quinn,那也是我想要的,我們在一起,即使是50年以後。我想要你一輩子都在我身邊,雖然這是非常愚蠢,不理智,瘋狂,的想法,你知道的,在我們這個年紀。)”最後一句話惹得兩個人都笑了笑,卻絲毫不妨礙兩人體味這句話的重量。
Quinn環上Rachel的腰,貼在她的耳邊輕聲地說,“今天我在時代廣場站着,想了很多很久,Rachel,我要申請紐約的大學,至少是這附近的學校。”
“真的?”Rachel笑着問,卻覺得自己的眼淚又要出來了。
“嗯哼~”Quinn輕聲道,“暑假我們就要開始為申請大學做準備了,快的話,11月份我們就能拿到offer了。Rachel,我知道自己的要求很自私無理,但是,Rachel,能再等我幾個月嗎?當我拿到大學的offer的時候,那個時候,我起碼能對自己的未來有些把握,那樣,我便有足夠的勇氣和信心站在你身邊,牽起你的手,告訴別人,這顆最亮的星星,是我的!”
“Whatever makes you happy, Quinn. That’s the only thing that matters to me.(只有你開心就行,Quinn。那是唯一對我重要的事。)”Rachel的嘴唇貼上Quinn的脖子,閉上眼睛感受這久違的安心感。Quinn不僅回應了她的感情,甚至在許諾她一個未來,Rachel覺得自己的心幸福地開始疼痛,滿溢的情感湧上眼眶,化成淚,她蹭了蹭Quinn的脖子,輕喃道,“I love you, Quinn.”
“嗯。”Quinn輕哼一聲,總有一天,她會有資格說,I love you too, Rachel。
其實,當她下定決心的時候,她并不打算告訴Rachel的,如果她最終來不了紐約,她只是會給了Rachel希望又再一次将她打入地獄。可是,當Rachel說,她唯一想要的是自己開心,此時此刻,她簡直不敢相信這是Rachel說出來的話,她怎麽可以?怎麽還可以一心只想着自己?想着這個一次又一次拒絕傷害她的人?她不知道Rachel的心到底是有多寬容才能讓她說出這麽番讓她簡直無地自容的話。And she still loves me(而且,她還愛着我)…那是她腦子裏唯一的念頭只能是, how can I live without her(我怎麽能沒有她)?即使她沒來成紐約又怎樣,她還可以轉學,甚至她如果根本沒有申請上,她還依舊可以明年再申請。Whatever it takes(不管什麽代價)!
第二天,全國賽,Rachel看了眼側臺的Quinn,她沖自己微微笑了下。Rachel吸了口氣,随着前奏的結束,天籁開始飄蕩在每個在場的人的耳間。Rachel對歌詞已經熟到倒背如流,卻是第一次意識到這一字一句都是Quinn的心意,對她的心意,她開始想象着Quinn寫下這些字句的心情,那些深埋在心底的話無法訴說,只好訴諸紙筆。
【All my life 我的一生
I've waited for the right
Moment to let you know我都在等待合适的時機讓你知道
I don't wanna let you go oh 我不想讓你走
But now I've realized
There's just no perfect time但我現在知道,不會有完美的時機
To confess how I feel 去坦白我的感受
This much I know is real 我知道這是真實無誤的
So I refuse to
Waste one more second without you
Knowing my heart 所以我拒絕再浪費一秒鐘的時間,告訴你我的心意
Baby cause I don't
Need anything else but your love 因為我不需要其他任何東西,只是你的愛
Nothing but you means a thing to me 除了你,其他一切都不具任何意義
I'm iplete
When you're not there
Holding me' touching me' I swear當你不在在抱着我,碰觸着我,我是不完整的。我發誓
All of the rest could just disappear 其他所有都可以消失
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there 只要你還在這,我不會在意
Take these words 傾聽這些字句
Don't let them go unheard 不要讓它們無意義地流逝
This is me reaching out 這是發自我內心的呼喚
I hope you can hear it now 我希望你能聽得到
Cause baby my heart's at stake 因為我的心瀕臨險境
Take it It's yours to break 拿走它,它現在任由你處置
I'd rather try and lose
Than keep this love from you Yeah 我寧願冒險失去給你,也不願再隐瞞對你的愛
So I refuse to
Waste one more second without you
Knowing my heart
Baby cause I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing but you means a thing to me
I'm iplete
When you're not there
Holding me' touching me' I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
Each day and night
That I've kept this a secret 每一個晝與夜,我保守着這個秘密
It'd killed me 被其一點一點侵蝕
It's time
To share what I feel inside】現在是時候坦誠我內心所想
其實,Quinn的字句已經化成她自己的心意,Rachel從來沒有這麽強烈感受到Quinn對自己的心意,她對Quinn的心意。
【I don't
Need anything else but your love
Nothing but you means a thing to me
I'm iplete
When you're not there
Holding me' touching me' I swear
All of the rest could just disappear
And I wouldn't even care
As long as you're there
As long as you're there】
