Adelaide - Finished!!

I'd give up on forever to touch you.

--- So come closer.

Kevin took a step ahead. Only one. Adelaide grabbed his wrist.

--- Breath in.

With this, he pulled him in her direction. Apparently nothing changed. Nothing, except the fact that she was still holding onto his wrist. Really holding. She let it go. He gasped.

--- The heck...

He looked at his own hands then at Ada. Adelaide, colorful as never. 

It was like he could see her crystal clearly, and for the first time. He noticed she was red-haired. Slighly ginger. Green eyes, freckles. The golden leafs in her white dress. The makeup, the shining makeup she wore. Everything was there, always was. He just wasn't able to see it.

--- Ethereal, to say the least.

He stood closer and hugged her. Hugged her so tightly she barelly breathed, even not being to anymore. She warped her arms around his shoulders.

--- You notice the fact that you, in literal manner, hugged my soul, right?

He laughed.

--- I do. And I wish you the best of luck out there.

--- I'm going with you to your mother.

--- You already did so much, Ada. Look at you. Look at how tired you are. 

He took her air out of her face.

--- You set yourself free. You are free to go. Thank you, very, very, very much.

--- You know I'll be with you, wanting you or not, right?

--- I guess so.

--- We got five seconds.

He was tearing up already. 

--- See you around, Adelaide.

--- See ya. 

--- That's not a way to talk to the Queen.

--- Please, stop it.

--- No, stop it you. Come on here.

He took her righ hand, leaned a bit and kissed it.

--- See you around.

She grabbed his both hands tight. 

Then it was morning already. No moon. No ambulance. No Adelaide.

Just Cole's couch.

--- You awake?

His head hurted a lot.

--- Oh, thanks God, man. We thought you were like, gone.

--- Where's Ada?

--- Who?

--- The girl with me.

--- Oh, your imaginary friend? No ideia, bro.

--- You don't get me. Where the fuck is Adelaide? What happened yesterday?

---They said it was a heartstroke, but harmless. Only 10 seconds.

He gasped in disbelief.

--- I was dead for 10 seconds.

--- Yeash, perhaps I mean...what?

--- You too, Cole!
--- Dude,  I was with a bad fever last night. A flu of already two weeks, at least.

--- Ddin't you suffer a heartroke or something too?

--- What the fuck, Kevin.

--- But I saw it.

" You notice the fact that you, in literal manner, hugged my soul, right?"

--- I saw your soul.

--- Dude stop this is getting weird.

---- But you don't remember.

--- Dude wha-

--- So why I do?

--- Do what?

--- Remember.

Cole stopped talking. He shouted for Carlo to come and see me.

--- No offense, buddy, but I think you  just lost your mind.

--- Don't talk to him like this, he will be fine soon, brother.

--- Carlo, what happened last night?

--- Well, a really bad fever put Cole down, like, really, he fainted, and you had a fucking heart attack, out of no where.

--- I see. How about Ada?

--- Ada? Ah, you mean the girl that was with you last night? She wennt home, at least, that's what she said.

--- Home?

--- Yeah dude, it was late at night, she needed some rest.

--- Yeah man, she indeed needed to rest.
