She has quit all modelling and other jobs, those around her understand her inability to work. Our condolences go out to all her loved ones, we continue with the news. " The photos passed on a slide, the memories of us seeing them made my chest ache, I still had not forgotten it and I will never be able to do it in this grey world in which I live. It cannot be saturated without it. Everything had happened because of me, that event will always be marked in his grave, if he had not risked his life for me, we would be together now as a happy couple living until old age. Forgive me for the way my life changed, forgive me for the sadness I'm wearing. I think I'm still not good enough, do you remember how you loved me? Do you hate me right now? That night after having spent an evening of our anniversary with Demian, everything changed in our lives, the time when I had crossed the street of the highway without looking and at that moment a car passed. The lights of the vehicle were in intervention, I could not react my mind was in another dimension, flashes in my head began to appear in my cloudy mind, my mind was blank and my heart was about to run to the other side of the road, but a push made to arrive quickly towards my destination. I reacted when my knees hit the floor and the blood began to spread in different parts of my small body, I look for the cause of such action but my eyes immediately that see the image that is in the front page become cloudy, the tears begin to fall through My face without permission, they were scattered on my cheeks, anyone did not recognize me as I was at this moment, I could not resist this pain in my chest. Please don't go, don't leave me in this grey world. I grabbed him by the head and yelled at him to talk to me not to sleep, he just looked at me and tried to communicate with me but couldn't, from one moment to the next he passed me an object that he had in his right hand and handed it to me, he observed objects when I have it and I couldn't help but overflow when I saw it, some engagement rings. You can take my heart, this is unfair. I felt more guilty now today, through our courtship I was always the one who rejected him, before I preferred to be at my job than to be able to approach you, in the place where I met him. He did everything for me and I just ignored him, I wanted to go back to the past and recover all the lost memories. You don't realize the value of a minute until one second makes a difference. Until a blink of the eye disorients you, leaves you breathless, takes away all or much of what you previously believed or took for granted. All the races to get to where they are now no longer make sense. - I miss you Demian, you will continue to be that place where I will always run home. - I murmured, I passed a napkin over my face to wipe the tears that I had shed on this day with the others. I turned off the computer, got up from my seat and grabbed my jacket to go out but before leaving the door I saw the shelf, that famous shelf where we put all the photos of our most important moments, why does it have to be this way? Just the first photo I saw now was the one I had with Demian and another that he had taken of me. He was a photographer, he had shot me that photo on our first meeting. I had inspired him to continue with photography surprisingly, in those days he was having a hard time after he left the agency and he couldn't find what to do on his own and out of nowhere he took pictures and that was his way, he loved how he was telling me how he fell in love with me. "I found my passion for photography again, which I thought I had lost."                                                                  Being in a past bar for drinks and without any company at the same time was not good, the worst combination that a human being can look for, you will not know what can happen in these situations but I needed it, this is how I freed myself from everyone the sufferings that my heart went through every day to continue, I usually drank properly but today I had passed drinks because the pain was so strong that I could not bear it, I wanted to forget everything until I was blank. I was passing through the crowd but from one moment to another I hear my name and the first thing I saw was the reflection of Demian from the corner of the bar calling me and then disappearing and despairing. I approach the bar to rest my head on it, and to rest there to be able to see the void. - Miss, are you okay? - An employee From the bar he was on the other side of the bar serving drinks, he approached me with concern after seeing how I was in this place. - Let me break your heart and let's see if you're going to be okay. - I smiled reluctantly, the boy just looked at me without understanding. - I would like to go back to the past and go back in time never to return. - I blurted out suddenly, the boy who still didn't know his name smiled at me and immediately left the bar desperate to be by my side, but I got away from him because of his sudden attitude and I decided to leave that area before something happened. The stairs to the roof were the first route I decided to go, I wanted to breathe fresh air, the lights of the city of Seoul were illuminated it seemed like a movie because of how bright everything is, it was beautiful the view and today would be my last day to see them. The tears kept coming out I couldn't help it, I was getting closer to the end of the road, nobody understood me, they only hinted that this would pass me in months but they are not on my feet to assimilate it. What a beautiful farewell, isn't it? Leave behind the brightest moment, which is yet to come, that moment has not yet found you. - No. - I mumbled, finish with everything I thought. I was going to do it, but a hand on my waist stopped me, someone was behind me holding my fall, I kicked with my whole being to let him go but all I get is to return to the safest place on the roof. - Do you miss him so much? - He says busy by that event, I nodded. - I'll take you back to when you met the person you miss the most. - Why are we here? - I asked, the drinks he had given me no longer had any effect, I was new but in pain. - You want to go back to the past and you will. - The boy approached the door where I myself came to this place and began to give buttons that appear. - Are you crazy. - I let him know by seeing what was happening right now and the atrocities he was saying. - Seriously? - He smiled to hit the last button and the door opened, oh god that's what my eyes see. This situation seems so unreal that if I could tell someone they would deny me, the boy entered and I assumed he had to enter equally. The doors were closed when we both entered, he took out an electronic cell phone. "What do you want to change about the past?" - He started writing without looking at me. - I want my boyfriend to stay alive. - I mumbled, He looked at me and bit his lip and then sighed. - He died because of me. - For him to come back, you'll have to make him forget you. - I looked at him distracted - He died because of you, so you will have to undo all the memories they had together. - Okay, if this is the only way to see him back, I will not miss this opportunity. - He nodded and then handed me the cell phone that he was using before, at that moment he passes it to me, a video is played and I look at him puzzled. I didn't understand what it was until I saw him, it was the day of our first meeting. - I will take you to that place, you will have to make sure that you of the past does not meet Demian. - I nodded, it's easy to do I thought. - Also you will not be able to stay as long as you want, there will be a limit, if you exceed it you can die and the last thing you should know is that an alarm will sound when you of the past is approaching the boy. - Good. - I mumbled, I wanted to see him again. - That's it. - He said, the cabin we were in started to move and I got worried, what was happening? A white reflection passed my eyes to blind me for a few seconds. - Go. - I heard the boy's voice, I opened my eyes and I was in an Arts Gallery, I remember everything. I am at the place of our first meeting, that day my faculty took a walk to learn about modern art. Suddenly I remembered what I had to do, it hurts to do it but it is for our good. I began to walk towards the balcony where he let me look at the whole aerial and look up to the first floor to find the Layla Stone of the past until I saw myself with my classmates. I looked to the right side of the first floor, there I could see him, I wanted to start crying and run to hug him and yell at him that he will forgive me, many emotions mixed but I could not. An alarm began to sound in my pants, I assumed it would be the alarm of the rapprochement between my past and Demian, I could not allow it. Just stay with me longer, until the end of time.
