Late night drives

XLIV : Sunrise

" Is it what you wanted to show me?"

" Yes. Just a few more minutes."

" You're more intriguing than I could ever imagine. "

" Am I?"

" First the Christmas fever, now we stand at the edge of a cliff as far as the eye can see at dusk. "

" I come here when I feel troubled."

" Strange hobby. Some people drink other smoke however you come
to this uninhabited unknown place. At such an hour. Plus the weather becomes cloudy. It's dark, you can't see anything."

" Do you ever shut up?"

" Only when I am sleeping."

" Even for thar I am not so sure."

" About this morning... "

" Do you often have nightmares?"

" Quite often."

" That's why you always look as if you never sleep."

" Are my puffy eyes that visible?"

He lays his eyes on me tenderly. light awakens in her irises. he shakes his head in denial. I turn around slightly offended with my hands resting on the other side of my face trying to hide my more or less obvious dark circles. Little by little the rays of the sun pierce through the thick clouds which spread out in the sky. My eyes blink two or three times before I wipe my eyes beanbeatenm. I am amazed by such a panorama. The clouds are tinged with pink and bluish tints. the sunrise is impressive seen from here I now understand why he often comes here. my heart warms up little by little and my muscles relax. I haven't felt a sense of peace for several years. After a deep breath, my lungs swell, and feel a sudden heat.

" This is beautiful.." I gasped.

" I discover this place the night everything happened. I didn't know how many hours I drive before arriving here."

" Is this why you brought me here?"

" This place was healing at the moment when my pain gain control of me. This unforgettable guilt tortured me. Gnawing inside everything that was in me."

" You and I are not the same. Hence our pain is different. Don't you dare say things like that?"

" We are not the same. We both had our own experiences. At least one of us moved on."

" Are you implying that I chose not to move on? Hilarious."

" You should let go of the past."

" Certainly it was easy for you."

He doesn't answer turning his head and fixing the purplish clouds.

" You're the most stubborn person ever."

" And you're the most. the self-centered, selfish, egoistic person I have ever seen."

" Coming from you, I'll take that as a compliment."

" Whatever," I mumbled while crossing my arms.

Stubborn. He is saying this
only to destabilize me. since that day when he surprised me in my office. Kim did everything to destabilize me. Starting with this stupid blackmail for some reason. I don't give a damn about the big heads in the tournament. I should have denounced them all. It was all going to sink. But since Mister the great the invincible was included. Of course, the information must not leak. Otherwise, he wouldn't give a damn. The same thing happened with Ricky. He surely did not hesitate to steal his first place in the league tournament. Ricky's biggest dream. How could a friend do that to someone they consider their brother?
