POV ALEX    I wake up to the damn light in the window ... oh my god, what a headache! I sit on the bed and rub my eyes, when I take a good look at the room in the country house, I realize that I am not in the room in the country house (at least not Eliana's). We probably stayed at the party yesterday, that must be it.    I feel something on my side and when I see, I see that Eli is lying next to me, sound asleep. For God's sake, I rub my face over and over again as if it could restore my memory of everything that happened yesterday and nothing comes to mind, completely blank, as if the last thing we had done was have a couple of drinks in the kitchen, then nothing.    I don't want him to regret anything, although we literally slept together ´pppppp every night, this one I do not remember absolutely anything of everything that happened, so I get out of bed stealthily changing and I leave closing the door just as slowly.    I come downstairs and there is the boy who invited us to have coffee on the couch with a couple of people sleeping on the floor, which makes me funny but I don't laugh for fear of waking them up. "Hello ... it was Alex, right?" he greets me and I nod to his question. "Yes, yes, Alex. Nahuel?" "Himself in person, good morning". "Good morning" I answer politely, I don't think it's nice to have a party and there are people asleep everywhere, except in one of your rooms, at least I would hate it. "Do you want coffee?" "Oh yeah, that would be great, please". "How polite" we both laughed, maybe it was happening to me, but it's never bad to be polite. It may be weird from a 17-year-old to a 17-year-old but never mean. "There is a coffee maker on the counter there in the kitchen, and you also have the sugar there next to it if I'm not mistaken". "Well now I'm looking for it, thank you very much".    I go to the kitchen and there is a boy who seems to be a year or maybe two years older than me with a coffee in hand. "Good morning" he speaks extending his hand to what I shake at the same time that I say "good morning", how educated the people of the country are, or of the town, I do not know how to identify them the truth. "There is the coffee and the sugar, and there are cups there so grab the one you like the most". "Thank you very much" I answer as he goes to where the other boy, Nahuel, was. I love the house, it is one of those typical huge but cozy houses, today I can clearly see and analyze it much better than last night.    After a while Eliana goes down the stairs with the face of not understanding anything at all and apparently looking for me with her eyes; She must not understand where she is, or her name, or who I am, or anything. She greets me and greets the others, I tell her that there is coffee in the kitchen but she nods her head and comes to simply hug me. I know you don't like feeling strange or being in places where you don't know anyone, so that must be the safest thing to do. POV ELIANA    We continue in the dining room of the house of the boy who organized the party, Nahuel, when a memory comes to me. Flash back "I like you, you know?" I ask Alex and he nods, at that moment I feel a cardiac arrest grabbing me, how did I know? And this at what damn moment did it happen? I need an explanation. He gets closer to me to be able to speak since the music is very strong. "You told me the day Gabriel was admitted, we said we would forget it but I didn't think you had said it so seriously" there I remember and yes, I had said it angrily that night, it also makes me remember Gabriel but Alex interrupts again in my thoughts. "And I like you, but first I wanted to be sure of everything" and you me? I mean, what about him? I think this is the last answer that I expected, I am 100% sure it is because of the alcohol. "I don't want you to regret anything". "What can I regret being with you?" "I don't know, maybe you just regret it. Had he told me, or done anything that might happen tonight". "We climb?" he asks me and I nod taking his by the hand, mainly to stabilize me because I don't feel like a person capable of climbing the stairs completely alone.    We both slurred the words since we are a bit old with alcohol (which does not mean that we take two more shots for each before going up). We pass by Nahuel, he just smiles at us and raises his thumbs as a sign that everything is fine, then he signals us to continue on our way. What a nice subject whispered in my mind, but I think it wasn't just in my mind because he nods his head while still smiling. End flash back    I look up and Alex sees me worried, did he say something to me? "Eh?" "If you're okay" he apparently repeats, with a hand on his shoulder. "Oh yeah, I'm fine ... thank you".    Type 7 P.M. We are going to my house since Nahuel told all of us who had stayed there that the parents were coming. Likewise, no one realized what time it was so far, we had a great time together and there was a lot of laughs, almost no one remembered what had happened the day before and I hoped that Alex did not either. Not because I have regretted anything, in fact it is what I always wanted, but perhaps he does regret it, because of alcohol he did and said everything last night, he was not really capable. "I really liked the boys" I speak happily when we first arrived. "Me too, can we talk to them to go out? Another day, before we go". "Come on" I shout from the kitchen because I was hungry, and yes, it was 8 P.M. We hadn't even had lunch between the time we had fun with the boys. "Listen ... do you remember something from yesterday?"    Just when he speaks another memory comes to me. Flash back "I adore you". "And I love you, beautiful".    We went into a room that was there and began to kiss. It's the sweetest kiss I've ever received in my entire life, despite being drunk, yes, maybe that's it. End flash back "You're good?" he asks me, repeatedly waving his hand in front of my face, whenever I am marked in my thoughts or I am remembering things, he thinks something happened to me. "Yes, all good, all perfect" I smile. "And good?" "Well what?" "Do you remember something?" "Oh that, no, the truth is that I remember nothing" I lie, if he remembers something I suppose he will tell me. "But what I do know is that my head hurts a lot. Will we have any ibuprofen in this damn house?" "Me neither" he does not remember anything ... that makes me think twice, no, triple, will he regret it if he does? Will you regret telling me what you said? Will you regret having done what you did? But once again, I have no answer to any of my questions and on top of that he takes me out of my thoughts as soon as he speaks. "Let's go to sleep for a while". "Go ahead". "By the way, you're cursing a lot lately girl" I laugh at her comment, which makes my head hurt more. "And I have no idea if there is ibuprofen in this house, but if I have it in my bag, I'll bring you there".    He goes back and forth with a tablet of pills, of which he gives me one, I take it one with water so that we can finally go to sleep. But as I go up the stairs I feel all dirty from the party so I want to bathe. "I'm going to bathe before I sleep". "Not if I go in first" I react late so he already entered the bathroom. "Damn Alex! I was going to bathe". "But I went in first" he tells me inside the bathroom and I hear how he opens the shower, I guess I'll have to wait.    After a few minutes I hear him open the door so I get up to go inside, when I see him he is alone with the towel at the bottom which leaves him all naked and with drops still falling. This guy kills me at any moment. I pass him by hitting him with an "angry" shoulder with quotes because clearly I'm not. "Oh come on, don't be mad, I love you my beautiful little friend" I only answer that with a strange throat noise as a sign of affirmation, stating that I don't believe him.    It takes me several minutes to bathe, maybe more than half an hour. I needed some kind of soothing bath with the water just falling on me. As I went to the bathroom as soon as Alex came out, I forgot to hold my clothes so I go out with the towel tied covering my whole body, but when I enter the room I don't worry because I have my best friend asleep with the cell phone on his face. He must have fallen and didn't notice.    I go back to the bathroom to change and go to bed, since Alex left me almost no room, I'm very close to him and I don't want to wake him up. Although feeling me embraces me and so we remain.    I want to know what you think about what happened last night but I don't want to tell you that I know, because a few hours ago I told you that I didn't remember anything. I don't know what to do, I don't know anything at all.
