I wake up at 9 am, I don't feel like doing anything, so I take my headphones, turn on the bluetooth and listen to music. I go to the bathroom and brush my teeth, then I go to the kitchen, and I see Miguel passing by the cabinets. When I enter the kitchen, someone turns to me, I see it's Lizzy. Immediately I open a smile on my face and she comes to hug me.

- Oh Lucas, I miss you - she says in the middle of the hug.

- Also, what are you doing here? - I ask, a little confused.

- Lucas, we're at the end of the year, I've already entered "Vacation" - she says making quotation marks with her fingers.

- What do you mean "Vacation"? - I ask again confused.

- It's only until the end of December, then in January I finish my First Act and in February I go back to Brazil to study and come back in November to start Act Two, and then everything is repeated. - She explains

- So will you stay with us for now? - I ask

- Isn't it obvious? Of course I'm staying, but first I need to talk to you - She says

- Yeah, what is it? - I ask

"It's better to be in private," she says, and for a moment I remember that I didn't tell her that I came out to our dad.

- If it's a matter of me being gay. Everyone already knows - I say, and she looks at me with a suspicious face.

- Wow, cool. But this is really private, and Miguel will also have to come. - She says, and my dad looks suspicious.

- Is something going wrong? - My father asks

- Maybe yes, Maybe not - Lizzy says in sarcasm. - Lucas will get dressed, like quickly, we have to leave.

- But... - I was about to say but I'm interrupted.

- No "But" - She says, with a thicker tone of voice

"Okay" I say and go take my shower.

I finish my shower and go get dressed, I put on black jeans and a red polo shirt, with a white plaid shirt on top.

- I'm ready, shall we? - I ask as soon as I leave the room.

I see Miguel sitting in an armchair playing with his cell phone and Lizzy and my father watching.

- Let's go - Lizzy says and we go down to the garage, to get the bikes one each.

••••

We've been pedaling for a long time and I still don't know where we're going.

- Lizzy, wait a minute - I say stopping the bike - where are we going? - I ask

- Lucas, I saw the leaked messages and I, more than ever, want to know who leaked this.. I want to know who the son of a bitch ended my brother's life. - She Says and gets on the bike- Come on, it's not too far

I get on the bike and look at Miguel.

- Wow - He says and gets on the bike and follows Lizzy.

After another 5 minutes riding the bike, we arrived at a house with a white gate. Lizzy knocks on the gate and in less than 1 minute someone appears.

- Hi guys - Mariana says leaving the house.

- Hi Mariana - Lizzy and Miguel say at the same time

- Hi Mariana - I say getting off the bike.

- Hi Lucas... look, I've never been very fond of you, but now you can count on me, that's why I'm going to help you today - She says

- Help me ? - I ask
