" Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it."
- Trey Parker
"I see now, should I save her?"
Felix thought about this though, it was like the world was slowing down. He thought of how his life without his friend. He ran closer to her, he knew he wouldn't catch her, but in his mind he tried.
Laugh was about to collapse unto the ground, Felix jumped and hit his head on the road. She landed on him. But Felix had no idea if she was safe or not, all he remembers is that he made a big mistake.
Felix woke up from his sleep, he sees himself in a hospital room. He was wondering about the things happening to him. He thought of this for a while. Three weeks later he recovered from the accident. He also wondered what happend to Laugh, he began to cry.
As he looked up he saw Laugh talking in the distance to some other person he never knew. He's eyes began to be filled with hope.
" Laugh!" He rejoiced.
" Hi?" She replied, while she was being dragged by the person she was talking to.
He noticed that Laugh was glowing, but he didn't care because he finally saw the love of his life. He chased her, saying a lot of things that will probably make her remember their relationship. Laugh had some tears down to her cheeks. She invited him to go the places where they made these memories: they went to the forrest, to their homes and to the salon, she styled her hair like she styled it before and she asked:
" Do you like it?"
Felix was crying while nodding his head, saying yes.
" I hope you think so.. But I'm warning you, I just can't be with you. I was born to be like this. But I can still be your loving friend. I'm still looking back on those days when I felt different from what I really am; I felt love, comfort and I was finally understood. Your are still dear to me Felix, but it just can't be. I'm really sorry for breaking your heart. Arrivederci amore mio, it was nice to meet you. I hope you forgive me."
" And she disappeared. I just realized that SHE DIDN'T EXIST."
"Is this really the feeling? It's been a long time when I felt love, maybe this 'adventure' literally said 'LOVE DOESN'T EXIST. Have I created this 'ghost' so I can feelit again? So it means I was just imagining everything that 'she' did: I was playing video games myself, speaking to myself and every movement and action that she made. I made sense of the words she was saying, which was practically obvious for other people that you weren't real. SO THIS WHOLE THING HAD MY MIND SPINNING,
WAS I LIVING WITH THE UNIMAGINABLE?

Short Story"We fall in love when our imagination projects nonexistent perfection upon another person. One day the fantasy evaporates and with it, love dies." -José Ortega y Gasset
