I'm pissed! She's seeing people in Los Angeles! That's why she doesn't send me any more messages, that's why she stopped talking to me, she doesn't have more time... I was already in my third bottle of a drink that I don't even remember the name, it was midnight, I hadn't even seen the day go by, I was with boys sitting on a wall next to my house, smoking and listening to some raps that Five said he heard somewhere... I wasn't even paying attention to them, only on my cell phone, and the longer it took Jô to answer my "Hi", more I drank.

I felt a hand touch my shoulder, was Five, one of my close friends, he pointed to where the girls were sitting, on the edge of the street:

"Hero, you don't need this, you are getting upset almost every day! Where's our boy who used to hang out with us, who didn't care for one, but for all the girls who were next to us... Bring him back!"

I looked him, I understood his message, I know he just wanted me to be okay... I got up and went towards the girls, it was a group with some, I don't remember how many, I recognized Miriam and Elify with them, they are friends who always stay with us, I think it was one of them that I needed, Elify, brunette, big lips, black eyes, hot, I've stayed with her a few times:

"Hey."

"Hero! Hi, how are you? You look a little tired..."

"Do you want to leave here with me?"

"Okay!"

I take her hand, wave to the guys, and go straight to my house, which was near the corner we were on, both were a little drunk, I more than she, but I'm used to it. We entered through the back door, Elify was already taking off her giant coat, London was very cold, as it usually is. I also took off my coat and when we got to my room we threw everything on the floor, I approached her, stared at her eyes, on her lips, I didn't see her, I saw Elify, I lowered my head with my eyes closed for a moment:

"Hero, is everything okay?"

"Y... yes it is". I opened my eyes and held her neck, kissed her with all the strength of the world, and she returned it, I know she wanted me, she ran her hands over my neck, through my hair, the kiss was good, but it wasn't the same thing... She took off my clothes and I hers, I lay on the bed with her on top of me, she roll her hips while we kissed... I forced myself to continue... Then my cell phone rang, I took Elify off me in immediately and answered it:

"Jô!"

And I gave a cry of happiness, my face must have changed expression, I was still panting from making out with Elify, but I was very happy to hear her voice. We didn't speak after our mini discussion...

"Hero... Yeah... Can you talk now?"

"Hummmm... Yeah!"

"Were you running?"

While trying to calm me down, Elify understood that the conversation was going to take, she knew about Jô, certainly one of the guys opened his mouth for the girls, I saw her putting on her clothes, getting up from the bed so fast, then, unable to stop her from saying something, she speaks, too loudly:

"Okay Hero, I'm going home."

At the same moment she spoke, she walked towards the door, without giving me time to make any sign to stay, or to apologize. Then she left. I was still with Jô on the phone:

"Oh, I see... You are with someone there, aren't you? Well, I'll leave you alone..."

She hung up the phone at the same moment, I didn't know what to do, I think because I still wasn't sober the confusion in my head was bigger than it was supposed to be, I tried to call back and hear her voice again, but she did not answer... I need a shower!


I wrapped the towel around my waist, as it was already late nobody was going to see me half naked, they all were sleeping, I took my cell phone and went to the kitchen to prepare something to eat, I was not so dizzy, but I was hungry. I read a message from Anna in the After group, warning that there would be an interview of her on the Nightline program the next day, talking a little about her career and the shootings of After 2, Jô and I gave an interview for this program. Oh! Did Jô call for that? I tried to call her again... Nothing, she must have been very angry because she heard a girl's voice while trying to talk to me, and I was all breathless... Congrats again Hero!

I call Anna, who answers on the second ring, had already seen that she was online:

"Hero! I miss you!"

"Hi Anna! I'm missing you too! What's up? Anxious for tomorrow?"

"Very! I want everybody watching, okay? I don't want to know that you lost because you went out with friends! Come out another day!"

"Okay okay! I'm going to rest for a while, I've been going out a lot with the guys here... By the way... Did you talk to Jô?"

"Yes! We are talking to each other almost every day! She is shooting in Los Angeles."

"Yeah, I'm trying to keep up..."

"Doesn't Evan have an exhibition of some pictures of him there?"

"Oh, truth! I remember he said something to me! In fact, one of his pictures is me!"

"Yeah? Why don't you visit LA? Someone might like a surprise..."

We talked for almost half an hour, Anna is a great friend, she always helps me, she told me that in two days she would meet some fans to watch some scenes from the second movie together and see if they enjoyed it... There would also be a meeting with the directors to know about the continuation of After, and what could be done. Lots of information... But one in particular kept spinning my head... Tomorrow I'm going to wake up and call my dear Evan Mock.
