After my "date" with Steve I kept thinking of a way for Nathan to talk to Lucas, and I've already reached a conclusion, this will only work if everyone works together, so I take my cell phone and call Nathan.

Connection On

- Nathan, I had an idea, come to my house in 45 minutes

- Okay, do I have to bring anything?

- No fuck, just come!

Connection Off

After hanging up the phone I send a message to Miguel who was in the next room, asking him to send Steve and Mariana I came here at home WITHOUT LUCAS KNOWING, so he sends a positive signal, and then the plan starts!

- Daughter? Can I come in? - My mother asks

- Yes, you can, what happened? - I ask

- Nothing happened, I just wanted to know if you're okay, you looked very stressed on the phone, did something happen? - She asks

- Nothing happened, it's just a school thing, and I'm wanting to end some things that happened, after all, the past has to stay in the past! - I say

- You know... I admire you, you care about your friends and your family, and I feel kind of bad for not having accompanied you since I was a child, I regret a lot of what I did, and you didn't deserve any of this - She says

- You're not the only one who has to apologize, so am I - I start

- No, you don't have to do anything, it was all my fault and I'm very sorry my daughter - She says

- Mom, I told you things that no one should hear, but I swear that this hatred has already passed, and I understand you, and I'm sorry for behaving like a 5-year-old child, it's because in my head, there was a little voice saying it was my fault - I say

- No, my daughter, nothing was my fault - She says in the middle of a hug

- Mom, let's go, dad is calling - Lucas says as soon as he gets to the room - Oops, am I interrupting something?

- No, it's not! - She says

- Okay, shall we go? - Luca asks

- Let's go! - She says and goes to the car with Lucas and my father

After 20 minutes, Steve and Mariana arrive.

- What's up? What happened that you asked us all to come? - Mariana asks

- True, I'm a little confused - Steve says

- Look, just feel it, okay, you too Miguel! - I say

- Okay, what's going on? - Miguel asks

- Look, I need all your attention in this, okay! Me and a friend of mine need your help - I say

- Okay, I have a question, what helps? - Miguel asks

- And I have a better one, what friend? - Steve asks suspiciously

- Really, man? - I say to Steve until someone knocks on the door

- Who is it? - Mariana asks

- It's that friend, can you be quiet just a little bit - I say and I'll open the door, and then Nathan comes in

- Holy shit! - Nathan says - Did I come at a bad time?

- You don't get tired of getting fucked, don't you fucking? - Miguel says getting up quickly from the couch and holding Nathan's T-shirt and putting him against the wall
