We took pictures to the ocean, to some seashells and crabs. We took pictures of ourselves, obviosuly, his pictures ended up to be better, even if he said it wasn't true. When we too enough pitcures we sat on the sand. We were silence for a moment until I broke the silence

"Why did your trip got suspended?" I asked. He turned to look at me. He looked serious and disappointed. He then looked away "You don't have to tell me"

He was silence for a moment. "It wasn't a trip" he said "We were moving to a different country. I knew that when we got to Brazil. That's were we were supposed to be moving. My mom didn't tell me this becuase she thought that I would get mad and thought that it would be better to just get to the country and... stay there. I promised her I would never talk to her again if she did. And so we are back here.

"Why didn't you wanted to stay?" I asked. Even though I kind of know the answer.

"Becuase," he said "I don't want to lose you" his words melted me. I loved him... I just realized I do. I thought I could never love someone and I just did. I love him and he loved me back. We were cured. But that wasn't enough, was it?
