 - Welcome to the set of "A house on the bayou" - Lia introduces me when we enter the facilities.

We are in a huge place, with many lights, and with a room design. I see dozens of people come and go, some carrying papers, others cameras, chairs, tables, lamps, fake blood, gasoline and everything you can imagine.

Lia leads me to where a man and a woman are talking.

- ____, this is Angela Sarayfan and Paul Schneider, my parents in the movie. - he introduces them to me - guys, this is ____.

- Is your girlfriend? Nice to finally meet you! - Angela greets me.

- Hello ____. - Paul greets me.

From behind Lia comes a boy I recognize as Aris from the Maze Runner.

- Hi Lia! - he says hello to my girlfriend- Is this ____?

I try to say something, but I can't. Lia looks at me, prompting me to say something.

- You are the one from the Maze Runner! The one of the girl group! The one who tells them that W.I.K.E.D. it is bad! - I exclaim.

He laughs.

- That's me, yeah. By the way, I'm Jacob Lo--

- Jacob Lofland - I complete for him. 

Everyone looks at me. - When I was ten years old I was in love with him - I shrug.

Only he laughs, and my girlfriend gives him a dirty look. Jacob swallows hard.

- I better go, I have to record a scene. - He says before running away.

Lia is also going to shoot a scene, and she leaves me with a very nice girl named Carol. While Lia shoots, Carol tries to explain to me what the movie is about. Something about a separation and deaths and a cat. I don't know. I'll see it when the film comes out.

When the scene ends, Lia walks up to me with Ángela.

- What do you think? - she asks me.

- To be honest, I haven't understood anything. - I confess.- You were talking about very strange things.

When Lia opens her mouth to reply, someone interrupts her.

- Lia! They need you in clothes room! - I'm paralyzed. That voice. His voice.

flash back

- Don't you dare tell this to anyone! Filthy bitch!

- No Please! Help! Someone get me out of here! No! No! Ahhhhhhhhhhh!

- You're good for nothing! Be quiet!

end flashback

"No," I whisper. - No, no, no, no, this can't be happening. - I repeat to myself.

But it is happening. Because when I turn around, it's his eyes that greet me. Those black eyes that I have been forced to look at so many times. I don't stop to look at him for a second, I run outside.

Once outside, the full weight of those repressed memories for two years falls back on me.

Flash back

- Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me. - he whispers to me.

- I love you - I whisper.

- Good.

___________________________________________

- Be quiet! I didn't ask your opinion on this!

- It's my life, Connor, I'll do what I want with it!

- I said shut up! - He yells at me, slapping me.

___________________________________________

- You are leaving me?

- I saw you making out with her, Connor! Don't lie to me!

- You won't leave me. You aren't leaving me. You need me, ____, because without me you are nothing. He says as he approaches me.

- Get away.

- No. - He slaps me. - for stupid. For thinking that you would be able to leave me.

End flashback

I feel like I'm out of breath, and I pull out the inhaler so I can breathe. Tears cover my vision; however, I feel Lia sit next to me. I instinctively cover the bruises that have already disappeared.

-Are you okay?- she asks hugging me.

I nod, wiping my tears away.

- Yes, it's just that I got a little overwhelmed in there. - I say putting on a fake smile, the one I've been perfecting for so many years.

Lia nods and continues to hug me.

- When you want to tell me, I'll be here. - I smile.

-Thank you,- I whisper.

We stay in each other's arms for a while, until they call Lia to record another scene. After finishing it, we go to my house. Well, Uncle Peter's. A plate of pancakes later, I'm already laughing with Lia about her dogs' adventures.

- I have a cat- I comment- my best friend is taking care of it, but it's mine.

- Liar! - my sister shouts from the living room - They gave it to me for my birthday!

I roll my eyes.

- Anyway, these pancakes are delicious. - I say taking a bite.
