After the kiss something had moved in it, or better, with us. I caught myself havingexpectation to think it, but he did not know as to make this, since our life always walked on the contrary, but our friendship continued, still moreat a moment as that one. It did not matter in the distance that we were between, we would always keep the friendship. He is somethingthat we could not more control, exactly if we wanted.

A time, I read in a book for which I do not remember the name now, but I agree that withwe always will be thus, that could pass days oryears without them thinking, if the friendship will be true, when to think goes them to continueintact as it had to be, quandonos we move away a time and we prove this. But I did not only want to be its friend, however it I neededthe Harriet friend at that moment.

Everything was going well. We had a meeting.What it would happen in that day after thesupper? I do not know, really, but he a lot did not import me with that. My mind and heartwere only with Lili.

I never vi Alec so shaken and worried. He isclearly, its life moved of the night for the day. Itcouldn't to make nothing, beyondaccompanying its mother in the hospital. AuntLili was not more vigorous. She was pale, tiredand each thinner day. Examinations behindexaminations to verify the state of its health. Idid not support to see suffering it from that skill.I accompanied it of close in the two weeks thathad been followed with interned it in thehospital. Its slimness was evident, but to thefew it was recouping the color.

All those days had crawled. I had made anagreement in the work to stay during theafternoon in the hospital and could work ofthere exactly. Provided that Alec could follow a little with the life. I compelled it to go to work,but nor he dreamed of the band. It did not havestomach for nothing more than what he couldsupport. Alec couldn't to stay much timefar from aunt Lili, with reason, right? It was itsonly family. They did not have plus nobody.She would not support to lose it.

The only thing that I could make, I made, thathe was to stay of the side of them. My parentsand my grandmothers had come to visit it sometimes. They did not know, but she was a lotgrateful for the comfort who were giving to theAlec and its mother at that moment. My parentshad paid all the expenses of the hospital andeverything What was it the necessary. Theuncle of Alec, who Actually, was the owner ofthe store which it worked, the mother of it did not come to visit an only time.

I never knew what I had happened between themother and the father of Alec for the family ofthem not to be so present in the life of it. Iknew that Alec I would like to have itsgrandmothers for close, but never I spoke onthis. I had science of that Alec never would count to me. He is himself that it knew whathad happened.

E even so, knowing that he had some thingwhich made a mistake with the family of thefather of it, I did not think right that Alec passedfor this alone. I had that to be with it. When he saw aunt Lili to pass badly, I I got furiouswhen evidencing that day after day it did not receive visit from no Bevilacqua. Poxa life, itwas the mother of Alec and was wife of aBevilacqua. It was part of the family, wantingthey or not.

But I was certain of a thing. They could not have blood family, but she had my familyand I waited that that I was the sufficient or,of certain I form, I supplied the necessity of atruth family. When finally, aunt Lili can gohouse and to wait the result of the remaining ofthe examinations, Alec and I immediately takesit for anossacasa.

There we were great e two we could take careof it. My parents, one more time, had shown tome as it is good for having a family and powerto be part of it, had contracted a nurse to takeaccount of Lili, thus, in would not confusethem.
