Chapter 9. Elizabeth

As usual, there was no one at home, I was left alone again, fortunately, now there were already things to eat.

things to eat. I had nothing to do, no obligations to fulfill, my classes at the

my college classes were starting in two weeks and until then I had to be stuck here at home, since my parents did not let me

my parents wouldn't let me go out with them or wouldn't wake me up for me to do so.

I had to stay at home until then. But since neither of them would come back until the evening, they didn't know if I was really staying in the house, or if I even wanted to go out with them.

they didn't even ask me, their daughter could wander off and get lost for hours and they would never know "what I was doing.

and they would never know "I know, they are the best parents".

the living room, since the TV in my room had already burned out a few days ago.

I wasn't a fan of watching movies, I didn't even know many of them.

I was lucky to find out that ''Finding Nemo'' already had a sequel. But now there was nothing left for me to do but to try to watch

one. So I did it, I put the first one I found in the big drawer where they usually keep every movie they buy.

I took out a movie that had a cover that looked familiar to me, it was the shadows of five people running

shadows of five people running through a desert, or so it seemed, because behind them was a destroyed bridge.

behind them was a destroyed bridge, like a city in ruins or at least the part of it they wanted to show to the public.

the part of it that they wanted to show to the public. As I looked closely at that image I could remember where I had seen that before, and it was in

I had seen that before, and it was on the cover of my best friend's favorite book.

I had borrowed it to read it but I had never been able to do it, I didn't even remember it until that moment, I never opened it.

until that moment, I never opened it. Since the movie was based on the book, it would be almost like reading the book, only with a few

like reading the book only with some variations, I decided to watch that one, so I put it on and connected the radio speakers to the TV.

the radio speakers to the TV and turned the volume up almost to the maximum, it's something I liked to do, to see it as if I was in the

like to do, to see as if I were in the movie theater, the high volume gives that impression.

The movie lasted a little more than two hours and it was almost half a day, the movie was super good even though I am not a big fan of it.

that in this my best friend had good taste because normally she doesn't have it or at least what I like doesn't match what I like.

that I like doesn't agree with her. With all this movie stuff I didn't even realize that I had more notifications from Maipa

that I had more notifications from Maipad! It was the same guy who had voted in my story the previous

night before, only now he did vote up to the last chapter I had posted. My first reaction

reaction was to scream with excitement and start jumping up and down in my place, there was no one at home so I didn't have to keep me

I didn't have to hold back the excitement of the moment. I like it when people vote

in all the chapters of the story, even though not even a quarter of the people who are reading it are

but I'm still grateful for that. It is such an honor to have readers who are

I noticed that there was a new comment on the last chapter I had uploaded that day.

day.

It was the same guy @tyler1989:

''This just keeps getting better and better, it's amazing... I love it.''

Ahhhh... I couldn't help but get excited again, it just happened and I threw everything around for

it. Including the cell phone. I hurriedly picked up everything I had thrown and then picked up the cell phone,

which had ended up under the couch where it was. I read that comment over and over again, I didn't believe this was true, that I had

I didn't believe that this was true, that this was happening to me, it seemed like a dream from which I would wake up at any second and where all the

any second and where all the emotion I was carrying would be lost in the blink of an eye. But it was

happening, this was real. So after having read the commentary a thousand times I decided to respond to this one...

reply to this one...

''This comment has touched me to the deepest part of my heart.💟''

But I could no longer see if this one responded to what I answered, a call covered the entire screen, it was Alisa, my best friend.

entire screen, it was Alisa, my best friend, correction my sister.

Call

-Hello Ali- I said as soon as I answered the call.

-Eliii, where are you? she said a little excited.

-At home, why? -I made a face, which obviously she couldn't see.

-Perfect, I'm at your door," I heard the wheels of a car slam on the brakes and the call was cut off.

and the call was cut off.

End of call

I grabbed my purse and ran out of the house, from the noise I had heard I could have sworn she had already crashed her new car.

I could have sworn she had already crashed her new car. She was a very nervous person, I still don't understand how they gave her a car before.

I still don't understand how they gave her a car before me, I really don't understand. Yes I know, her new car

car, they gave her that car a few weeks ago because they owed her a gift for her graduation, which was a year ago.

a year ago, they were almost ahead of time in giving her the gift. When I left the house, she was

texting at the wheel with the car badly parked on the street, but what could I ask of her, it was already too much to ask of her.

but what could I ask of her, it was a big deal that she hadn't crashed or been arrested for her incredible driving skills.

her incredible driving skills. As soon as she saw me she shouted my name for me to hurry up.

-Until you finally arrive, woman?

Said a thick voice as he got into the car, but how is it possible if Alisa was alone in it, or so I thought.

alone in it or at least that's what I thought when I saw her alone at the wheel, I didn't notice anyone else. That's another "problem" I have, I tend to be a bit distracted and sometimes, just sometimes, I don't notice things or some details around me.

things or some details around me.
