*Violettas pov*

"Um..Hello?" I answer the phone call.

"Hey Vilu, it's León. Would you mind to come over? I need someone to talk to...please." He's almost crying. What happened to him?

"Yes, I'm on my way!" I hang up.

"Who's that?" asks Olga.

"León. I've to go now. Please tell my dad, that I'm with him. Bye."

Fast I grab my bag and my phone and leave. I run as fast as I can, because it sounded important. After 10 minutes I find myself before his front door and his mum opens it.

"Please come in, Violetta. León probably called you. He's in his room."

"Thanks, Mrs. Vargas." I say, and go the familiar way to his room.

A short knock on the door and he opens the door, tears all over his face and red eyes.

"Thanks for coming. Let's sit down." He says quiet.

I sit down on his bed and listen.

"Well...my grandpa died today. He was in the hospital for two weeks, but there wasn't hope anymore, so the doctor turned the machines off. I wanted to visit him today and I was in his room, but suddenly I heard this sound, you can hear in some movies, when someone dies. Yes, it was this sound. I wished, that I don't have to hear it, but I did. His heart stopped beating, I called a nurse, but she said, that it's better for him. But how can it be better for him? Maybe he's in a better place now, but who can guarantee it? Nobody knows what happens after our life. Everyone is talking about the life after life, but what if it isn't true? What if i won't see him again? He was the best man in the world, and the nicest person, my idol, the one, who I talked to, when I needed his help. I don't want this. I want to see him laugh and make jokes again, talk with him about my problems and listen to his old storys. How he met my grandma or how he felt, when I was born. He told me all of his storys all over again, but I never get tired of listen to them." And with one little smile, he breaks down in my arms, crying. I can't help it, and one tear rolls down my cheek. I've known him, he's a wonderful, old man and you just had to love him.

"I know, that it won't help you, but you just have to believe, that he looks down on us right now. It's hard to lose a person, but nobody can change it. I wish, that I could and I tried so hard to change it, when I lost my mum in the age of 5, but it didn't work. We'll always have the memories we shared with them. You'll see him again. Maybe in your dreams, or in your head, on photos, it doesn't matter. A person isn't dead, when the body isn't alive anymore. A person died, when they won't be remembered by their family and friends. And as long as you think about your memories together, he won't be dead at all. He's a lovely person and it isn't fair, that he died, but everyone has to move on. It doesn't change anything, when we are sad all day. Do you understand?" I've to hold back the tears, because it remembers myself on my mum.

"Ye-s. Th-ank you. You are always there for me and such a good friend." He stutters because of the tears.

"You don't have to thank me, okay? You'd do the same." I answer, stroking his hair. "Let's look at some photos and videos, okay?"

"Yes. They're in the living room. I'll go and get them."

Time skip

"I remember this day. It's on my 8th birthday. He was dressed up as a clown and ruined my birthday cake. He hugged me after this and then I was covered in cake too! It was so funny." León says, smiling again.

"I can imagine it." I admit and take a look at my watch. "Eh..León, I think, that I should go now. It's 10.30 and I don't want another fight with my dad, because I walked alone through the streets that late."

"Why don't you stay over? Please I need your company. I can't be on my own tonight." He pleads.

"But Diego...I think, that he wouldn't like it."

"I'll explain him everything, if he asks, okay?"

"Okay, but I've to call my dad, though." I grab my phone and diall his number.

"Dad? I've a question. Would you mint, that I stay over? I'm with León and he really needs my company today."

"I thought, that you're with this Diego guy now?"

"Yes, I'm, but León is my friend."

"So, it won't happen anything? I don't want to be a grandpa in 9 month."

"DAD." I shout. "No, it won't happen things like this. Is it a yes now, or..?"

"Okay, but don't forget, that you have to go to the studio tomorrow."

"No, I won't. Good night, dad." Then I hang up.

"And? What did your father say?" León asks.

"He said yes."

"Okay. Wait, I'll go and get you a blanket and a pillow, if you don't mind to sleep in the same bed as me, it is big enough. I mean, you already did but.."

"No, I don't mind. But don't even try to touch me!" I laugh.

"I'll try to control this desire." He laughs with me, before he makes his way downstairs to get my bedsheets.

I get a next message from Diego.

"Hey princess. How are you? I wanted to come over today, but you weren't at home. Did anything happen? Diego x"

I decide to answer.

"Hey. I'm fine, thanks. And you? Yeah, sorry about that. I'll explain it tomorrow. Good night. x"

After two minutes I get another message from him.

"I'm fine too, but I miss you. I hope, it isn't that bad. Good night. Sleep well."

León enters the room. "Here are your sheets. Comfortable and warm."

"Thank you a lot." I say. "Diego wrote me. I said, that I'll explain it tomorrow, why I wasn't home today."

"Okay, but let's sleep now. I'll turn the lights off. Good night."

"Yes, good night to you too."

Time skip

I wake up this morning, wondering, where I'm. But then I remember, that I stayed over. León hasn't cried that much last night. He starts to blink and he says a sleepy "Good morning."

I give him a nod and start to stand up, because I want to go to the bathroom. But he stands in the door frame, that I can't escape.

"Thanks for everything, Vilu. I really missed our conversations."

"No problem."

"I think, that it was a mistake to let you go." And with that, he leans in for a kiss. Before I can react, his lips are pressed on mine and he asks for entrance with his tongue. I immediately push him away, as I realize, what we're doing.

"León! What was that? You know exactly, that I'm with Diego, and that you are just a friend for me!" I scream.

"I'm sorry, but I thought, that you still have feelings for me, just as I've for you."

"No! We're friends. Not more, not less."

"Shall I tell Diego, that I kissed you, or will you?"

"We'll do this. Together."

I go in the bathroom and think about he upcoming fight with Diego.

What do you think about this chapter? I thought, that I should write a chapter about León and Violetta again. I put a lot of paragraphs in here because most of the part is a conversation. Maybe the next chapter will have a bigger time skip, but it's neccessary. Vote and Comment like always, please. Love you ❤
