CHAPTER THIRTY''EIGHT

Valery Garcia.

We left the room and walked to the elevator as soon as I had gotten ready.

'' Hey, what do you think about going out to a club today? '' He asked, pressing the elevator button.

'' Really, Julia? I'm dead tired, do you really think I'm going to jump around and go down to the ground, the way I am? No, my dear, I'll stay home and sleep.

She rolled her eyes.

'' You're boring, you know.

''Nothing boring, I'm a tired woman.

'' I work too, Valery, I'm not dying that much. '' I shrugged her off.

'' But I do, so don't count on me for this party, I just want to be sleeping right now.

The elevator doors opened and we entered, when the door was almost closed a hand stopped us.

'' I almost didn't catch it. '' Diego said, smiling at both of us. '' Good morning, girls.

'' Good morning, Diego. '' We responded together kindly.

'' Did you sleep well? '' He asked''watching me.

Smile lightly.

'' Yes, sleep, thank you for asking Diego. '' He smiled.

'' Still don't want to go out with me?

So soon?

'' I'm sorry, Diego. I really don't want to go out with you. '' He waved and didn't say anything else.

The elevator doors opened and we headed out of the building.

'' See you around Diego, have a good job. '' I spoke and got into Júlia’s car without waiting for her response.

She got into the car and put on her seat belt and started it.

'' You don't need to be so rude to him, friend, poor guy. '' She laughed. '' Did you see his sad face?

'' My bank account is sad, I already said I don't want to go out with him, holy shit, I'm starting to get irritated, seriously Julia. '' I passed my hand over my face when I felt a small headache. '' It saw? Now I have a headache because of this issue.

'' Oh friend, I'm not going to say that I understand you, because I've never been through that. Do what's best for you, cut off your friendship with him and that's it.

'' The problem is that he lives right next to me, I will never be at peace. '' I said upset.

Now that's it, the pain only started to get worse.

I passed my hand over my forehead and gave it a little massage.

''Does it hurt a lot? '' She asked worriedly.

'' I think it will start to pass soon. '' She nodded.

****

She parked the car and we soon got out and my headache just got worse, holy shit.

'' Friend, I think you'd better go home, talk to the boss and tell him what you're feeling.

I shook my head.

'' Oh no, no need, my friend, I’ll just focus on work and I’ll soon forget about this headache.

'' Okay, but if it gets bigger, go home.

'' Ok!

We entered the cafeteria greeting our co''workers and went to put on our uniform. '' We entered the staff room and put on our uniforms.

'' I'm going out today, I'll call Vitória and the two of us can go clubbing.

'' Do it, I feel a little better knowing that you will have someone to go to, because I don't trust you, something bad could happen.

'' For the love of God, Valery, think something good about me. '' I shrugged.

'' How can I think anything good about you, when we went to the nightclub last year, you threw a bottle at the nightclub owner's head and then took off your clothes, leaving you naked in front of more than a hundred people. Do you still want me to think something good about you? '' She snorted at that.

'' You annoying. '' I shook my head.

'' Let's go.

We headed out of the staff room and picked up our notepads.

'' Good work friend. '' I spoke.

'' To you too.

We started to serve the customers that started to arrive.

'' Good morning, what do you want? '' I asked table five.

They had already arrived some time ago, so they certainly already know what they are going to order.

'' We want choclo arepas and hot chocolate to drink. '' I wrote it down.

'' Okay, your orders will be here soon.

I walked away to deliver the order, as soon as I delivered it I squeezed the pad tightly in my hand when I felt a strong pain in my head. '' I walked to Júlia and called her.

'' What is it, friend? '' She asked worriedly.

'' My friend, my head feels like it's going to explode from so much pain. '' She pulled me to sit down.

'' I'll go tell the boss that you're not well. '' She said and ran to the boss's office.

I rested my hand on my forehead and soon a wave of images came to my mind.

''''Who are you?'' I asked quite scared.

'' Calm down, everything's okay.'' He spoke and came to me and this act made me shrink, I don't know why'' I won't hurt''There, miss. I just want to help.

I don't understand why these words make me feel a little calmer.

'' I.... '' I tried to say something, but nothing came out of my throat when I realized that I actually don't remember anything.'' AND''I don't know who I am... What's happening to me? You know who I am?'' I questioned desperately.

He approached me.

'' Unfortunately not yet, I found her in the middle of the road completely disoriented and brought her to the hospital. You suffered a very strong blow to the head and this resulted in the loss of memories.

The images kept coming into my mind.

What's happening to me?
