IX
- Let's go back to the beginning Camila, where did you meet from? Angel asks.
- I remember it perfectly, I met her in a theater school. I was fifteen years old and I was passionate about cinema at that time, which led my father to enroll me in a theater school.
The last sip is swallowed by Camila before speaking again.
- It was in this school that we got to know each other, from our first meeting she expressed her desire to be my friend, she was full of vitality. Camila said, reminiscing about the good old days.
Angel goes behind the counter to serve Camila another glass of whiskey.
- What's next? Angel asks.
- Then we talked to each other every day and so we became inseparable. We would walk around together, we would know each other's worst secrets, which created total harmony throughout our friendship. Camila answers, still can't digest Christine's death.
- Your relationship seemed amazing, an extraordinary duo. Angel adds, who focuses more on Camila.
- Indeed, I kept calling her a cow because of her birthmarks. Camila continues, followed by a smile from Angel.
- And we've never had big arguments to end our friendship. Camila adds, taking the glass in her hand.
- And what about your acting classes? What happened? Angel asks.
- Well, she was luckier than me and succeeded in the field of cinema, whereas me, every time I tried something, it always ended up failing. Camila answers with a sad expression.
- Ah, I understand.
- However, that didn't stop me from cheering her on in all his films and sometimes I even write lyrics in some of his songs.
- Your relationship was going perfectly well, so why weren't you present at this premiere with Christine? Angel, intrigued, asks, looking for precisely the appropriate answer.
- I have no idea, I was probably sick or something.
Camila feels this shock in her chest again, she leans against Angel who runs to find her in front of the counter.
- Time is running out up there, Camila, remember. You need to get rid of that burden quickly in order to get out of here. Angel warns by placing his hand on his back.
- That night, I wasn't sick, I just didn't want to go with her. Camila confesses to Angel.
- What for? Did you know she was going to die that night? I'm trying to help you, Camila.
Camila pulls away from Angel slightly, gradually becoming aware of his actions.
- I was absolutely unaware of it, I learned about it on television, like everyone else. Camila continues to persist.
- You're starting to realize Camila, you know that I know everything. Why did you hide the existence of his letters? As well as the last letter that warns Christine not to go to this premiere ? Angel asks firmly.
- It was simply motherfuckers who allowed themselves to write all this, I hadn't taken it seriously and I didn't want to spoil his evening because of a letter whose author we didn't even know. Camila tries to refuse the real reason.
- You are aware that this is false, you have to admit why, to free yourself from all this. Why did you miss this evening if this letter was of no importance to you? Angel persists, showing his anger.
-IT'S THE TRUTH.
- We both know that this is not the truth, stop diving into this lie, why do you feel so guilty that you want to commit suicide two days after the death of your best friend? WHY DO YOU FEEL GUILTY? Angel shouts as he flashes the bar lights.
Camila lets out a deep sigh and chooses to face reality.
- I felt jealousy, a deep and unjustified hatred towards her. I envied my best friend for her success in the same field we were studying when I could only fail. I had a deep jealousy inside me that had consumed me for years, and I could do nothing, I felt nothing but hatred for Christine. Camila confesses in tears, aware of her mistakes.
- And when you saw her threatening letters and the warning letter, you saw an opportunity to get rid of her without being involved, what did you expect next? Angel asks, looking at her in disgust.
- I didn't think about it, my hatred and jealousy towards her was so strong that I just wanted to see her disappear from my life, and I told myself that if her threats were real, then this was the perfect opportunity. Camila admits, still in tears and feeling remorse.
- And your desire to commit suicide?
- After two days, I was exhausted by all this, watching his family mourn his death, aware that this was what I had wanted, knowing that I could avoid it. I couldn't even sleep, so I took tons of medication to try to stop it. Continues Camila, whose feelings of remorse and regret continue to grow.
- You can't escape your faults, Camila. Angel said as he went back behind the counter.
- Deep down, I'm not a bad person, I was just blinded by jealousy. I tried to get rid of it, but it completely absorbed me. Camila admits, who can't stop crying.
- I can say that it is the most terrible emotion that has been inserted into a human being. Angel said, wiping glasses.
- What awaits me now that I recognize my faults? Camila asks, ready to hear Angel's sentence.
