Louise"Daughter, don't leave to live tomorrow what you could live today. Don't wait for forgiveness to kneel at your feet to grant it. Life, Louise. Live intensely, you have someone who really loves you."When I woke up I was lying on Mauricio's chest, feeling his hand on my head, stroking my hair, and I liked that."Good morning, my love." - His husky voice said, as if he knew that I had woken up."Good morning, my love." - I replied, letting a silly laugh escape as I lifted my head. But, I was still ashamed of myself, and in no small way. - "How long have you been awake?""A few hours. I was waiting for you to wake up. I wanted to be the first person to hear your voice."My fingers touched my face and I couldn't feel anything but revulsion, as if something was wrong with me and it bothered me a lot. The horrible scar was now another one of my marks that would never come off. After getting out of the shower, Mauricio was naked on the bed, looking at me seductively. I was just wrappe

Clarice The scene was deplorable to watch. My mother was completely shameless when she saw me, didn't seem to care, and was on her way to give a statement by the time I arrived."Here are her documents." - I handed the folder to the lawyer, who was expressionless. - Do you know what she did?"Trafficking. She was caught red-handed with almost 200 kilos of cocaine, a big load." - He was nervous, but who wouldn't be?"It will be a long process!" - I sat with my hand to my head and wondered why this was happening to me. Why did she get herself into this now? - "Is it that serious?""Unfortunately it is. It's more serious than it seems, your mother took over everything. But, I'll do the best I can.""Was she caught alone or did she have someone with her?""She was approached while driving a van with all the drugs under the seats. The policemen had dogs and that helped them."I didn't want to know anything else. My mother didn't have much chance of getting out on bail and neither did I ha

Maurício"The feeling of insufficiency is what fucks me up every time I make a decision, Davis. I don't want to have to live with this weight on my back, even after forgiveness I don't feel forgiven." - There I was in another session with Davis, I want to live without this weight on my back. Davis was a replacement for the terrible, shitty psychologist."Why does this feeling bother you? Could it be that you are not forgiving yourself? The weight of guilt weighs more heavily on you than on the head of the person affected!""I don't know, I haven't known who I am for many years. That damned scene left me without feelings, without emotions, and all this is resurfacing now, all after I met Louise. The size of the fear I have of making a mistake with her is unwritten." Everything was new to me, this love thing was new. I confess that I had already given up hope, but Louise came into my life at an unexpected time and is making me feel the weight of guilt for everything I have ever done. W

AliciaI knew I had done everything wrong, even though no one saw me, but Emma saw me and worst of all, she didn't die. I don't know what came over me at the time, but I couldn't pull the trigger and the most she'll be is a paraplegic now.(...)"Are you happy now? What are you going to do now, Alicia? Are we going to live on the run for the rest of our lives?" - Willy shouted, making me even more nervous."Let's calm down, let's calm down…""And where are we going? Even now I can't believe you left Edy with Norely to live such a shitty life. Look how far you've come, Alicia. You're not like that. I'm not like that." The point I've reached is that I can't accept rejection anymore and I've decided that if Mauricio doesn't want to be happy with me, he won't be happy with anyone else, and I'll go all the way, but Willy doesn't need to know that."I've always been like that, Willy. Do you know how painful it is to want someone you can't have? I was not in my right mind when I had sex wit

Jason After much crying we were looking at the moon through the window, Louise was running her hand over her belly smiling and I knew she was happy about it, it was just new to her."What do you say we go somewhere and enjoy tonight, the two of us? We're not werewolves, but we're two lonely souls who need to be happy. Don't you think so?""I think that's a great idea, and besides, I miss your laughter when you're drunk. Where is that boyfriend of yours, Jason, anyway?""Then that won't be a problem, Lou. I'll get dressed and when I'm ready." At the last minute I had an idea, I know she would refuse to go, but it wouldn't hurt to try to convince her to go out for a while, because she needs it as much as Jason and I do."Maria, love of my life, I want to ask you an invitation and I won't take no for an answer." - She looked at me frowning and threw the cloth over her shoulder. Maria almost always had a frown on her face, but we knew that this was just to scare away the snakes that su
