Chapter 31

Sunday, May 26, 2019

I open my eyes, it's a white roof, it's not my house, I look to the side, there's Aroa with her eyes almost closed.

- Lara! Are you awake.

He runs out and starts yelling for the doctor. In a few seconds she and a man in a robe enter.

- Hello, young lady, how are you?

- Loss...

- Well, when they brought you in you lost consciousness right after having an anxiety attack – Aroa comments.

- Do you remember anything from last night? – asks the doctor.

- Yeah...

- Your friend told me something last night, I can only tell you what mistakes we all make and that life does not end. I'm sure you can solve everything - he smiles trying to cheer me up - Now follow the light - he takes out a small flashlight and moves it from one side to the other - It seems you're fine, in an hour you can go home.

I nod and he leaves. Just as he leaves, Valeria appears.

- It was my fault – I don't feel like this – If I hadn't kissed you, none of this would have happened. I didn't know how to see what was happening, I thought you wanted to. I'm sorry...

- It doesn't matter, I don't feel like talking about this.

- If you want me to leave your life, I would understand perfectly. Even if I was drunk, I know it's no excuse.

- Leave it, you were not aware of what you were doing. The one who did wrong was me for not knowing how to react and say no. I can't kick you out of my life for that when you've been with me all this difficult year for me and I owe you that...

- You owe me nothing... You also helped me with my mother's accident. You lost those days that I was with Cristina just to be by my side and support me. You have come to help me much more in a few months than María and Lucía have in years...

- Well, but you don't have to stay away, you were drunk, you had no self-control, I know I can't let you drink so much...

- I won't drink for a long time, I feel too guilty... - he sighs – If you want me to stay, I'll do it, but when you want me to leave, I'll leave.

- Well, now I need to talk to Cristina, if she takes it clear...

Valeria leaves the room. I pick up my cell phone and dial Cristina's number. It gives tone, but I don't take it. I dial again and nothing... It's normal that he doesn't want to know anything about me. I'll try again later, if I don't succeed, I'll let her go. I don't want to make it more difficult.

. . .

The hour has passed, the doctor comes in to discharge me. When I leave the hospital I get into my aunt's car.
