Surprises (Finished)

He was right. I couln't just stand here and do anything about it. I had to go and talk to her. But what do I say to her? Hey, your best friend is a hooker?
I didn't want to ask him if he could take me to her house, that was too much.

-I don't care if you have to work, that wasn't my point anyways- I affirmed. He didn't get what I said before, I didn't want to see him, I didn't want him to be part of my life, I didn't want to have any kind of relationship with him, just somebody that I saw once in the streets.

-I'll go talk to her,- I said -I'll just take a bus, or something- I walked the opposite way he was walking before, reading the signs, looking for any signal of a bus stop.

What was his problem?

-You didn't have to take me,- I said. -If you're going to act like that I prefer walking, than sit here and take your bullshit-

I got out of the car. What did he think I was? He thought I was going to take this kind of crap?

-Can you do me a big favor?- I said before closing the door. -Can you stop stalking me?

I sat on the sofa in my living room. My eyes stared at nothing..I just let my tears run. I didn't want to be here. Why did I had to get a job here? Maybe if I haven't me and Neus would still be friends. I covered my face with the palm of my hands and just cried. "Fuck!" I said throwing a cushion to the floor "fuck this!" I stood up and walked to my bedroom. I wasn't goin to let this bother me anymore..she didn't care..so why should I?

My mind went black. What did he want from me anyway? Why was he following me so much? I shook my head, forgetting about Bruno.
I had to talk to Adrian, urgently. I walked through the porch, and slowly I approached to the door.
I wiped my tears, and took a long breath. I knocked on the door, and waited for any answer.
A few second later, I knocked again. My heart was beating so fast. I was nervous.

When i heard the knocks, i froze...who is it? who would it be at this hour? I stood up and walked to the door. What if its her? My hand froze and i didnt want to know who the person was.
But then the person knocked again, and i just couldnt help it. I opened the door, but frowned and almost closed it again once i saw the person on the other side.

-"......what do you want Neus..?" I said, tears coming down my face. Not tears of sadness but anger.

I saw how broken she was, and I felt more sorrow within me. At first I couldn't say a word, I just couldn't.

-I didn't want you to see that- I finally said, braking the silence between us. -I'm sorry, but it hurts for me too. I didn't know you were coming, and you caught me by surprise.- I explain, feeling a small and cold tear scaping from my eye.

I sniffed, and wiped my face with the back of my hands

-"Come in..." I finally said stepping aside so she could enter. She...was my best friend and im sure she did it for a reason...i dont know, just, something in me told me to give her a chance.

As she ordered me to come in, my heart slowly stopped to beat fast. I was getting more calm, and my nervousness was gone. I stepped into her house, and saw some boxes in the living room. She just moved in, why didn't she tell me?
I turned around to look at her red eyes, I suppose for crying to much, and I sigh. I really didn't want to say anything, I felt so bad for what I had done. I approached her, and hugged her.

-Don't cry anymore, please- I said, while I hugged her. -Is all just a miss understanding- I moved away and started to explain. -My father works for the government, and my family owns a lot of money to them. I told you when we met, remember?- I grabbed my left arm with mi right hand. -That was why we used to moved a lot, until we stopped and stay here in Green Falls. Our family was threatened, and my dad couldn't pay everything we supposedly owned to them. I had no other choice, but to start working as a prostitute. Is not something I like to do, and it wasn't something I planned on doing.

-"but why!!!?" I yelled stomping my foot on the ground "wasnt there another way!? Another job!!" I angryly walked to the sofa and sat down, looking down at my lap

-"I..don't like my best friend being with a bunch of men....it..it horrifies me.."

I sniffed again, and felt how my chin began to tremble "I could had helped you in some but why..why didn't you tell me anything?"

-I thought of getting another job, but its hard here in Green Falls, and you know that.- I said. -And no other job could give me the money that I gain now, is a lot trust me. But not enough for what my dad owns. Is crazy, every month that number increases.- I walked to the sofa where she was sitting, and I sat down next to her.

-My mother told me to ask for your help, but you have your own problems, I didn't want to bother.- I sigh, and continue. -My sister left with her husband for over 2 year now, and we haven't heard of her since. We just think she forgot about us, since we hear sometimes about her husband.- I started to cry, as I remember my lovely sister with us at home.

She didn't care about us? Didn't she loved us? I thought as I wiped my tears.

-I hate the idea of selling my body to some random stranger, and everyday I go home crying because of it. I just didn't want you to know how low I've fallen.

I hugged her, and I cried. But I just kept hugging her...even though I knew she had been in the arms of so many men. "I'm sorry..I'm sorry that you had to..to make yourself this..." I said and hugged her tighter. I pulled away after some silence and just stared at her, letting out a sigh "...you were so mean back then.."

I didn't felt like that in a long time, when she hugged me. I felt warm and cosy, I felted that for the first time somebody loved me.

-I missed your hugs,- I said, as a tiny smiled grew. -I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be mean, I was dying in the inside, believe me.- I said as we separate. -It's part of my job, to be a bitch you know- I teased.

I smiled, hugging her again. I missed her too...so much. And at that moment is when i realized she was the best friend i could have. Yes, she was a prostitude. Yes, she sold her body to men everynight..but..sometimes, you need to do what you can to survive. Sometimes, you need to find a way and move forward. I guess thats the way she found, and i have to accept it. After all, she was still Neus.

-"its ok..I forgive you" I said with a smile as i pulled her to sit down on the couch next to me, holding her warm hand in mine "Im still glad, that i found you though"
