On the way back I got a message.

Zoey:

Hey my friend, have you already returned to New York?

Sarah:

No not yet, I'm on my way


Zoey:

Same, we have to see each other I have to tell you many things

Sarah:

Me too

Zoey:

Ok friend, see you then


Actually we have to tell each other too many things but first I want to make my relationship with Peter clear. I am not very interested despite everything I still think about Chris, I didn't realize that he replied to the message days after but I didn't check it.

Chris:

Hi Sarah, sorry for behaving like that but I think you're right, I didn't tell you anything either. Can you forgive me?


I would do it without a doubt but I want him to tell me in my face all of this, it's the only thing I want to hear "forgive me", but on the contrary he just lies and pretends that nothing has happened.  I don't mean about his girlfriend, I mean what happened between us.

Hours pass and we are already at home, when I get to my bedroom my phone rings and again it's a call from Peter.

—Hello?—I pick up

—Hi pretty, so see you tomorrow at the cinema then?—Confirms our agreed appointment that by the way I forgot that fact

—Sure

—Well rest now, kisses—he says happily

—Kisses— I've never said something like that but I do it for not seem so cold with him

I'm not tired yet, I want to go out, so I decided to go to Central Park.

It's another thing to come at night, I could even say that I like it better than during the day.

At that moment a male voice calls me.

—Sarah?—I turn to see who is and I meet with Chris.

—Hi—I say without knowing what else to say honestly

—Hey, how are you?—He asks kindly

—Good, what about you?—It's strange to be here again, it's like having a déjá vu

—Anyway, how was your vacation?—he questions

—Great, what about you?—I think I'm being a bit more cold with him than usual.

—Well, Sarah, I have to tell you something, I can't go on like this without telling you—he changes the subject radically

—What?—I say in expectation of what I've really wanted to hear all this time

—I miss you, talking to you, our moments together. Why don't we be friends again? Well we are but I mean to talk to each other more like the friends we were— he admits.  Just friends, of course, and me getting my hopes up.

I am afraid of telling him what I feel, of losing him, losing his friendship, the only thing I have of him, if I lose him I would never forgive myself.

—Yes of course, friends—I say a little disappointed but I don't think he noticed

—Don't be mad at me anymore Sarah—he says while hugging me, I honestly didn't expect that honestly.

—Then don't make me angry anymore—I say sighing

—Okay, how about we walk through the park while we talk?—I nod at his idea.

We started walking right away

—How long have you been back from Florida?—I ask

—Yesterday, and you from California?

—Today—I answer not very enthusiastically for some reason

—And talking about something else, what are you going to study?—I guess this talk is stranger than normal

—Medicine, and you?—I ask curious

—Financial administration

We talked for an hour and then I arrived home, as soon as I lay in bed I fell asleep.
