"Hey, wait. Sorry. I didn't want you to become angry. I know that 'us' or 'our' don't exist, and probably, will never exist. I didn't mean it.", he said but he was still shocked about Byanca's reaction.
"You wanted me to say my name. It's Byanca.", she finally said.
"How will I know that you're not lying?"
"You don't think I'm lying."
"Do you read minds?"
"Shh... Don't tell my secret." Byanca said, a little ironically, like she always was.
"Oh, ok. I promise I won't. And I also didn't say my name, and it's John.", he has just made a promise to a girl who was so misteriously that even Sherlock Holmes couldn't solve her secrets.
"So I guess we finish our journey here. You know my name and I know yours either. That's all. Bye", she said and walked away.
"Bye.", John said to the wind. In some way, he had liked that misterious and trouble girl.
When Byanca arrived home, she saw Hugh layed in the sofa, drinking beer, and he could do it because he was 22 years old. He was not the type of man who used to drink so probably something happened. He was blond and had brown eyes, and Byanca didn't like to say but she tought that he was pretty hot, and she had a crush on him.
"I broken with Ann." Hugh immediately said when he saw the owner of the apartment coming into the house. Ann was his girlfriend since he was 21, he loved her and so did she. Byanca never liked her, she used to say that she wasn't the right girl for Hugh, but he didn't care.
Flashback
Byanca got into her house, it was very late, she was tired and a little sad but she was with insomnia. Hugh used to live with her. He was dating a girl and he had took her to dinner, her name was Ann. So Byanca tought he wasn't at home and went to his room to take some cds to listen, he had the best cds and a lot.
She was singing a Beatles' song when she got into his room and
"OH MY GOD", she got shocked, "I'm sorry. I didn't want to... Oh fuck, sorry"
Byanca had just picked Ann and Hugh making sex.
/Flashback
"Do you need a hug?", she asked.
"I know won't hug me. I know you, Brooke"
"Yeah, I wouldn't. And don't call me Brooke, even if you are broken, without girlfriend and a little drunk.", she said and went to her room.
Hugh stayed in the living room for a while but then, he stood up, put his beer in the trash and opened the door of Byanca's door. She was crying. She didn't use to cry, unless, she was thinking about him.
"Do you miss him, don't you?", her broken hearted friend said.
"Like I've never missed someone in my life", Byanca said while looking at his pictures.
"I'm leaving but if you want, I can stay. You know that I'll always stay for you.", Hugh said friendly like he always was, mostly, when she was thinking about her old love.
"I just need some time alone", she replied.
"Like always", he said.
"Like always, she repeated.
John was in his room with his dog, Gold. The golden retriever was sleeping and the 18-years-old man was thinking about family. He had never had one and recently, it was all he wanted. He didn't know why. Maybe he was tired to be so alone, acutally, he had Gold but one day, his dog would die. And then what? Non dog would compare to Gold.
The only person closer to a female friend that he had was Byanca but he knew that unless it was his destiny, he wouldn't meet the misterious girl with a Jack Daniels shirt again.
