I join Guzman in the hallway; we both pace frantically unable to believe that Polo will remain in school and that we weren't allowed to treat him differently, after everything he's done, after everything we've done to get him arrested, as if Carla hadn't just confessed that he was a murderer, as if I hadn't sacrificed her for it.
I turn around as Guzman talks of how it will all be over when Carla explains everything in the trial set tomorrow; she suddenly appears from the corner, her eyes locked on me as she just passes by.
"You may have fucked her but you don't know her as well as I do" Guzman says, his eyes angrily pierced on Carla. My heart starts racing, my hands are clenching with rage, my eyes still following her down the hall.
"You never had me." her voice has been stuck in my head for days; I can't shake it no matter what I do. I can't shake her. Her words shattered me, made me realize how far I had gone, I knew this would draw a wedge between us, I just never thought it would hurt this much.

Her words also scared me, the idea of how true they were was terrifying, I wanted so desperately to believe, even if it's for so little time, that I've had her. I know I have. She was different with me, in so many ways, ways I couldn't even describe, it was just in the way she looked at me, smiled at me, kissed and touched me, it was in the way she saw me. She gave me value, she listened, and she cared. I realized that the moment she told me that she's lost me. Everything changed after that.
"Ask Ander to testify already and complete Carla's story, the session is tomorrow and we don't have much time" I turn around and follow her.
She's already outside, her stride long and fast while crossing the bridge above the beautiful lake that separates the two buildings of the school. I run after her while calling her name then finally catch up with her, I grab her arm and turn her around: "How are you?" she suddenly flashes on me and hits me right in the chest to push me away, I stumble back a few steps before she continues her assault with words: "how am I? Leave me alone or I swear to God I'll hit you right here and now!"
