--- Evelyn's Point Of View ---
Well, finally the first repetition for the Opening Ceremony was over. Jeez, it was even more difficult than I expected. I mean... It was fun, but still I really had to work hard enough to sing the song perfectly. Now that the song will be a surprise at the Ceremony, it is also expected to pe perfect.
I got out of the building as I waved a little at the rest of the girls. I got in the car and closed my eyes a little. The sun was ready to set and I didn't feel like doing anything, not even starting the engine in order to go home. I sighed as I slowly opened my eyes. All of a sudden, I remembered I still didn't open my phone.
I got it out of my pocket as I pressed its' starting button: dead battery. Wow, exactly what I needed! Not! I couldn't help but turn on the radio a little:
"Incredible incident: Lionel Messi is brought to full tears when he saw an accident outside Buenos Aires in which was involved an expensive sport car. The police still didn't discover the victim's identity neither the car's brand, but one question bothers the whole world: Is Evelyn Skyscraper dead?"
I remained speechless when I heard the voice from the radio asking itself about my death. I dropped the phone on the chair as my hands started shakeing. I got out of the car and I looked all over me: all the girls were gone.
"WHAT IS GOING ON?! I WON'T ANSWER THE PHONE FOR SOME HOURS AND THE WORLD WILL LITERALLY BELIEVE I'M DEAD?! AND HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO FIND LEO?!" I shout in the middle of the street not caring who'll hear me. "Damn these paparazzi... Outside Buenos Aires... OUTSIDE BUENOS AIRES WHERE?!".
I entered the car and closed the door. I knew I couldn't do anything, but go home first. I started the engine as I pressed the gas pedal trying to get to the villa as fast as I could. Soon, I entered in the villa's yard. I literally jumped out of the car rushing to find Gabe.
"THERE YOU ARE! EVERYBODY HAS BEEN LOOKING FOR YOU LIKE CRAZY!" Gabe shouted a little angry at me. I took a deep breath before I told him everything that happened.
"Jeez... You should have called me. And first of all, you should of never left without me driving!" he added.
"Call you? Can't you hear I've got a dead battery?! And don't you understand we gotta find Leo?!" I asked him as I felt my anger rising. He looked down as he opened his phone and searched for the news.
"Do they mention the location where the accident happened?"
"Yeah, they do. Let's go, Evelyn. We gotta get there before Lionel loses his mind completely." Gabe said as he rushed to get to the car. We left the villa again. I was almost breathless thinking of what reaction he'll have. Ugh and... I shall not forget that the press isn't going to take its' eyes off us any second.
I was staring at the road, then at Gabe. I just couldn't stay relaxed in a place. I didn't know what I should say or what I should do when we got there... I was moving my feet. I wanted to tell Gabe to rush a bit, but I think I had enough of argentinian police...
"Are we there yet?" I couldn't help, but ask Gabe quietly.
"Take it easy... We're close."
"What should I do?"
"Well... Be yourself and let happen what will happen." Gabe answered looking at me. I nodded as I looked down.

What is going on? That's it, after I saw the breaking news about Lionel's histerical reaction I just couldn't do anything but get into my car and head straight to that location. Evelyn dead? What the hell? I knew that this year, with the occasion of selecting the World Cup representant from the LA Academy will be a pretty big change... But I've never imagined that it'll be such a circus.
First Evelyn runs from the Stadium, Lionel freaks out, then all that Neymar histeria takes control... Now this? WHY?!
I pressed the gas pedal harder...
Lionel, I'm coming to see what you're doing by myself.Jeez... Evelyn, you're such a trouble maker... But yet, it looks like nobody can ignore you, neither dislike you...

We were close. The sun was setting. I could see many paparazzi and press vans parked. The cameras, people and lights were surrounding one spot: Lionel.
Gabe stopped the Lambo immediately. I got out of the car. I started running as everybody turned to me. I was shocked by the way the car involved in the accident looked like: burned and turned upside down. I felt a little dizzy... I was hearing my name from everywhere, but I didn't feel like answering to anyone. Yet, I had a single question that I was repeating all over again: "Where is Leo?!"
"Miss Evelyn... Go that way!" A man holding a camera said while pointing me a direction.
I started staring to the indicated spot as I started walking slowly. Everybody started following me. I was getting closer and closer. As I got out of the road I closed my eyes a little. The sunset's light was hurting my eyes. I stepped out of the road. But yet I could see the shadow of somebody standing in front of me. Lionel was staying on the ground looking at the sunset. Behind me everyone was looking silently. I started getting closer and closer to him slowly.
I was next to him. Leo was so lost in his thoughts he didn't notice me coming. I started moving my hand in his direction as I touched his shoulder softly.
"Lionel..." I whispered. He flinched as he quickly got up standing in front of me. As he was staring at me I placed my hand on his chest. I could feel the way he was shaking. I looked up at him with a scared look. I didn't know what to say or what to do. He was just standing there frozen.
His eyes started to get shiny: tears. He hugged me tightly... So tightly I could barely breathe. I moved my hands as I placed them on his back. He was still hugging me, but not that tight. I sighed as I could breathe normally again. I put my head on his chest and closed my eyes as the flashlights from all the paparazzi were hurting my eyes.
We stayed just like that for a couple of minutes. It seemed like he wasn't going to let go of me that easily. I slowly opened my eyes widely as I felt Leo kissing my forehead. I looked down smiling a little. I looked up at him again. He grabbed my hands. The others stayed on the road and couldn't stop talking and screaming. The paparazzi were recording every moment of the scene.
"GET OFF LEO YOU AMERICAN FREAK!" the echo of an unusually voice of a woman covered everybody.
Silence.
Me and Lionel looked curious at each other then looked in the echo's source direction.
"Antonella?!" Lionel suddently called softly as he started staring to a woman confused.
