I'm always fascinated by the way memory diffuses fact.

Lilianne's POV
2 weeks later
Anger. Dissapointment. Overwhelming. Confusion.
If somebody asked me how I feel, I would say that.
It's been a week since we came back living on Bronx. As for the relationship with my parents- I still haven't forgiven them, but I try to understand them and that for them this situation is not dream come true, either. My dad gave himself up to work. He has even less time than he had when we lived in Barcelona.
I'm on my way to meet Lucy. She was my best friend when I lived there. I try to stay at home as little as possible and enjoy my vacation.
"Lilianne?" I hear
It was her. Lucy. I haven't seen her since I moved out.
"Omg, Lucy! Hello!" I said
Lucy was a beautiful, long-haired blonde. She looked like pinterest girl.
"Look at you! You are so beautiful"
"Lil,look at yourself"
We sat down in one of the roadside cafes.
"What will you drink?" she asked
"Wine. I need wine" I said
Lucy looked at me in surprise.
"Lil, it's New York. It's illegal for us to drink any alcohol"
"Oh, I said. I forgot. In Spain you have to be 18 years old, but it doesn't really bother anyone"
"So, coffee. I think"
After a while the bartender brought us our order.
"So Lucy, tell me. What's going on here? Any news? Oh, do you have boyfriend, which school do you attend?" - I asked casually
"Slow down, girl. We have plenty time to catch up. It's boring here. At the same time still dangerously. Do you still live in the same place where you lived 6 years ago?" she asked. I nodded.
"So, a man's body was recently found in your area. People say it has something to do with Jason Mccann. So does every crime in New York"
Just a typical conversation with your long-lost friend.
"Mccann, Mccann. I didn't hear about him. The family in our apartment after we moved had that surname. But it's probably a coincidence"
"People say he has dark eyes, piercing gaze and you'd better not get in his way"
"Lu, don't scare me. I try to enjoy life here. I really try" I laughed
"Anyway, changing the subject. I have a boyfriend. His name is Marcus. You will probably meet him soon. I attend Manhattan high school"
"Bitch, you better be joking- I quoted Euphoria. I love this show- I will go there too!"
"Bitch, you are my soulmate" she laughed
