Alone: Volume 03 (English Edition)

9. True now, Plan later!

- So, what do you want to talk to me about? - I ask

- Look Lizzy, I know I didn't give enough reasons for you not to trust me... but please, give me this vote of confidence - Nathan says and ends up convincing me

- Look, you have 20 minutes... that's what I can give you - I say

- Okay, I only needed 10 actually - Nathan says in the middle of a light laugh

So, Nathan and I went up to the terrace of the house, where there was an incredibly beautiful view, making us appreciate the view while Nathan tells his version.

- Well... it all started on the morning of November 19 last year, it was the day I returned to Brazil. - He pauses - As soon as I arrived, I didn't hesitate and went right after Lucas' number, because I missed him, and because I really wanted to talk to him about something I had been hiding for a long time! - He says

- What would it be? - I ask

- You know, Lucas and I were very good friends as a child, right, we went everywhere together... and I considered him as my brother, but... after a while, I started to feel something - He says

- Feel something? Like what? - I ask totally confused

- I started to like Lucas, it was because of him that I discovered myself Bi, and it was because of him that I didn't tell - He pauses - My brother had just come home at the time, and... he and my father are prejudiced whores... and I couldn't tell Lucas this whole story, because I didn't have the courage to tell my own parents... because I had a fucking insecurity, and a fucking anxiety that dominated me, just thinking that I could be without my parents and Without my brother for a stupid reason - He says

- I'm sorry... look, I love my brother, and it was very difficult for him to overcome the leaks and all the prejudice he was suffering, but at least he had us, but Nathan, if you supported him, you liked him, why did you do what you did? That's what I can't understand - I say

- Lizzy, I wasn't the one who leaked the messages! It was Enzo - He reveals, looking deep into my eyes

- Enzo? Wait, your brother Enzo? Are you sure what you're telling me? - I ask

- Yes, it was him... he had just found out that I was Bi and that I liked Lucas, and he didn't accept it at all... so he went and hacked my things, and that's when he leaked the messages, I'm innocent. - Nathan explains

- Proof! I need you to prove to me what you're saying - I mean

- Here it is, your proof! - He says showing the cell phone, where there are photos of users connected to the device - Look, here is a table of users connected to my computer, and right on the day Lucas' messages leaked, there was a connection from an Unknown user - He continues to explain

- Holy shit! - I say

- Yeah, after I saw this, I started browsing the neighborhood to find out whose account it was, and guess what...

- Did you find out? - I ask

- Yes, and it didn't take less than two minutes, because that son of a bitch was around, to be more exact, he was in the room next to mine! - Nathan exclaims

- What a son of a bitch! - I scream

- There's something we both agree on - Nathan says - But now you know it wasn't me!

- I'm sorry, but you have to understand that I have my reasons, my brothers and I can fight... but I will always protect them, no matter what happens - I say

- I understand, and I hope you understand that... I'll do anything to regain your brother's trust! - He says

- I understand, and that's why I'm going to help you! - I say in the form of retribution

- Really? Why? - He asks suspiciously

- You're really complaining - I mean

- No, never - He says in the middle of a light smile

- But what's up, do you have any plan in mind? - I ask

- Not really, I need a little more time to think - He says

- Okay, go to your house, think of a plan, and then send me a message, okay!? - I say

- Okay, thanks for everything Lizzy - He says and then leaves
