-What situation doesn't help you," he asked out of the blue.
I looked at her confused, I didn't understand what she meant.
-I mean..." she shrugged her shoulders, "you said that a while ago.
I tried to make up some little lie, but unfortunately I was bad at those things, especially when they were improvised.

-Ehh- I thought for a few seconds, averting my gaze to the side- you know, the usual stuff.
He kept looking at me through that screen, he didn't say anything, just watching me in detail, that's making me nervous.

-What's the usual?" he said as he settled back into his seat.
-Stress, a complicated family, bad friends, college," I added more problems to my real problem.
problems to my real problem - the usual - I emphasized again.
-I see, but if you need to talk to someone, I'm here," she winked at me.
Seeing her do that little gesture, a smile formed on my thin lips and without my noticing she did the same.

cheeks were starting to turn red. I just stared at her and she started to do the same, neither one of us said anything, she looked so cute like that, she looked so
she looked so pretty like that, she looked like she was out of a magazine, and this was the perfect time to do it, I wanted to do it, I had to do it, I had to do it, I had to do it.
I wanted to do it, I had to do it, I got a little closer to her, but reality slapped me in the face.

distance. And I couldn't do it. Then I realized what was going on, a small
feeling was growing inside me, although I wasn't sure what it was yet.
The minutes were passing by, turning into hours, when we were talking we didn't feel the time passing, it was like
we didn't feel the time passing, it was as if there wasn't a clock marking the time, but unfortunately there was one, which was
Unfortunately there was one, which already marked one o'clock in the morning.
-Wow," I said when I saw the time, "time went by so fast.
-It's true, it seems we just started chatting," he said with a little yawn.
-Then I have to hang up, the internet will be down again- I lied again.
-Ok, then, shall we talk tomorrow?
-Yes of course," I confirmed excitedly.
-Okay, don't betray me," he said staring at the cell phone screen, "you are only mine.
immediately after those words he cut the call.
End video call
Did I hear correctly? Did he say he was only yours? No, no, no, I must have misheard. Yes, that must be it.
Even though I didn't want to believe the last thing he said, I couldn't help but get this feeling that
I couldn't help but get excited about it, and the hardest part, I couldn't help but blush after I said it.
I couldn't help but blush after those words. Luckily I had already hung up, otherwise I could have
see how I was at that very moment, even my heart started to beat stronger after that.
even my heart started beating stronger after that. I slept with a smile on my face, nothing I could think of could change that at that moment.
I saw again how the sun grew behind that window. This time no one came to see me in the morning
just when I wanted to share my happiness with the world is when they decided to give me my space, great.
space, great. The doctor came in several times to check that everything was in order.
I was feeling better, but I still didn't know if I could go back home, I didn't feel very comfortable in that place.
I did not feel very comfortable in that place.
But as if they would listen to me, the doctor came back once more, only this time accompanied by a nurse and a wheelchair.

-Tyler, you can go now," he said in a serious tone, "your friends are waiting for you downstairs.
Thank goodness, because I was beginning to think I would have to walk home. I went to
I got dressed as quickly as I could and left the room with the nurse pushing the chair she had me sit in to leave.

I don't know why they were doing it, it wasn't necessary, I could walk, but she was so insistent that I ended up agreeing to it.
I could walk, but she was so insistent that I ended up accepting it. As soon as we got to the second floor I could spot my two great friends.
-Hey, guys!" I shouted from my place.
-You're so lazy!!! making the poor nurse push you all the way up here!
joked that boy, seconds later the three of us started laughing.
How I missed this.
-Thank you very much," I said kindly to the nurse.
-To you, come back soon," said that girl who took me to the door.
My friends and I looked at her for what she just said and seconds later that nurse apologized and shrugged her shoulders.
and shrugged her shoulders.
With that plus we couldn't stop laughing.
Before taking me home, Johan and Carla took me to a new restaurant that opened nearby.
I was starving, to tell the truth. The place was big, the tables were made of glass, which made it look like an elegant place.
The place was big, the tables were glass, which made it look like an elegant place, and it was, everyone there was dressed formally except us. But
But we didn't care, we went to sit at one of the tables that had a view of the huge garden in the back and a few seconds later the waiter
and a few seconds later the waiter came to take our order.
-I think we'll order the dessert special, right? said Johan looking at me.
Yes he read my mind, I am hungry, but I also need some sugar and there is nothing better than a dessert, that can be
better than a dessert, that can satisfy both.
-Yes, of course," Carla went ahead to say.
While we were waiting for our order, I was observing the whole place from my seat,
I could see that there were several people I knew were in that place. Apparently it had already become popular.

a dollop of vanilla ice cream next to it.
It took almost no time at all to eat it all, it was delicious, I would be able to eat another one of those,
but I didn't want to overindulge. After that they dropped me off at my house and left, we would see each other the next day again.
we would see each other again the next day.
When I entered the house, there was no one there, everything was dark "as usual".
I poured myself some water from the bottle that Dad had brought me from Spain on his last trip and went straight to my room.
I went straight to my room, threw myself on the bed.
I plugged my cell phone into the charger, a while longer and it would die just like me.
After several minutes another video call covered the whole screen, and a smile formed
on my face, it was her. That girl who was starting to make me feel a lot of things for her.
