5 days after the facts, I was sitting with Henry in the couch at his place. William had brought us some drinks as I received a text message.
6pm at my place? Love u darling
It was Vincent. After 5 days he finally decided to text me. What had he been doing in that while?
I'll be there.
" Thanks for everything, Clara "
" You don't have to say that every 5 minutes " I laughed, giving him a half hug.
I took care of Henry when he was in the hospital. He deserved a great friend by his side. He didn't deserve what had happened to him.
" When are we going to Anderlecht again? " William asked, drinking his beer.
" Soon, very soon, Will " I winked and he started laughing.
" The way you wink is so awful " he laughed.
" Thanks, Will "
" Hihihihi "
" Okay, your laughter is getting very creepy "
" Your face is creepy "
" Fuck you " I laughed, pushing him softly, but he fell from the couch.
" On the floor " Henry sang.
These two guys were amazing, I can't describe how much I love them as my best friends. They're almost like family to me.

A couple of hours later I was standing in front of Vincent's house's door. I was kinda nervous.
Ding dong.
The door opened and Vincent's arms were around me immediately. I was confused for some reason. He hugged me so tightly, it felt so good. We stood there for a while like that.
After a couple of minutes he let go.
His cheeks were wet.
" Vincent, what's wrong? " I wiped away his tears with my thumbs and he took my arms. His hands felt warm. He brought me inside his house.
" I am so sorry I didn't text you earlier, but I had something to deal with "
He was crying.
" Vincent, please, why didn't you tell me, I could've helped you " I walked to him, put my arms around his waist and laid my head against his chest.
" I was right, my parents are going to divorce "
" Oh my, Vincent, I'm so sorry "
" You can't change it, I didn't want you to deal with my trouble "
" I'm here for you "
" I know "
After a while of just hugging, we sat on the couch. My head was laying on his lap and he was just playing with my hand.
" I still owe you some explanation, Clara, I am so sorry of what happened with your friend " he took his hand away from mine.
" I didn't tell him "
" I didn't touch him, I promise " his hand touched my cheek.
