For a few days Caitlyn didn't pay attention to Hayden's absence. She is not afraid of being alone again and she approaches her lonely fears to just laugh at them, she was able to find a way out of it and if Hayden changes her she will be fine, she now feels free from it. Of course, Caitlyn is being a little extreme, Hayden doesn't stop sending her messages asking about her day, trying to find out how it woke up, how she feels, he even sends her photos of the places he visits with Victoria and Caroline, he tells her the story of those places, the meaning of them for him. Hayden tries to stay connected with her, however Caitlyn now wants to play her game, if he hid the truth from her for a long time now he should feel the same as her.

It is Friday afternoon, it did not rain all day, which indicated that possibly at night it would rain a little, now is when you should take advantage of the afternoon free from your work, from tasks. In her room looking for new clothes that she has never worn or only worn once. She looked around her room looking for something to her liking, something new in her look, she became so accustomed to wearing her traditional work clothes that were between elegant and casual that she wanted to not only feel out of the routine, but like a new woman. , get used to being someone different every day.

She is eager to go out with Alexandra, the two agreed with Avril to meet with Andrew and Adriana, the latter two thought of the good opportunity to get to know Caitlyn and her sister better, whom they met at a bad time, it is a bitter memory for the three involved. Caitlyn then finds something in the sea of clothes that completely catches her attention, it's funny how what she was looking for is next to her lingerie collection. Along with those thongs and lace bras and other shapes which do not leave much to the imagination, there are a couple of blouses hanging next to a black dress with a neckline, it is too open for her taste, on the other hand the blouses are white. , one with long sleeves and the other with short sleeves, almost with straps. She takes both together with the black dress remembering the day when she bought them in that building, it is a very prestigious five-story store belonging to the fashion company White Shadow Designers, an English brand dedicated to the world of fashion which is always on hand. vanguard of what women and men need, creating everything from designs suitable for a gala party to lingerie.

Try the blouses first and combine them with a skirt or tight jeans, the blouse with a pronounced neckline and short sleeves along with a black skirt seems to please her, she can add some mesh or simple tights and some boots, right on her bed there are some that he just bought. However, he also wants to try the strapless dress. She looks at it carefully seeing how short and daring it is, she bites her lip thinking how it would look on her, she doesn't think about it much, she takes off her bra, leaving only her panties, they are from the lace store she buys and no, they don't leave much to the imagination either.

Approximately more than forty minutes passed, Caitlyn was ready to see herself in the mirror. She was not prepared to see her completed work, she closes her eyes standing in front of her large mirror, she is nervous to see her result, it has been a long time since she dressed like this and she does not understand why she did all this, Hayden is not there to see it, but Does matters? He is with Victoria in New York right now, besides, as his father says "We always have to take advantage of everything we have, we never know when we will be gone." She arranged for herself, to make it clear that now she would not expect anything from him. no one, not even his opinion, the time will come to show Hayden.

When he opens his green eyes, he first notices his wavy hair, he looks better with his hair ironed, straight, he watches his hair fall over his shoulders and back as if it were red hot fire. Then she notices his makeup, it is perfect, the light black shadows play a contrast with her green eyes, revealing the depth of them as if they were from a forest. Then his red lips hide her innocence and leave out all her audacity, they are sexy and dangerous like the intense fire itself capable of burning an entire forest. She looks down at her to see her neckline first, it is pronounced, flirtatious and sexy, she perfectly shows her attributes without being too exposed. She goes down noticing how close he is to her body to finally see that the dress is very short, but she doesn't care, watching him being supported by boots that go over her knees gives her confidence. She looks beautiful, complete and reborn to be reborn once again in every aspect. She takes a top jacket that she left lying on her bed, it is the same color as her clothing item.

Time will always give us our moments, time is a bad move and a good one. To look at Caitlyn is to realize that, she apparently learned her lesson from her, the last few weeks were not only for her lover, they were also trying to make up for lost time with Alex. They both felt it was necessary, although things were discussed they still had to be corrected, the wounds became scars, scars that must be healed. Since before Hayden's departure, Alex organized outings between the two, taking into account Caitlyn's time between university and the Hospital to choose wisely what to do. Sometimes only Alex arrived in a taxi, truck or subway to the Hospital where he waited on the ground floor for Caitlyn, who did not hide her smile when upon leaving the elevator her sister was already at the reception talking with the workers or giving photos and autographs. to the people. Caitlyn walked slowly feeling strange, it was a mixture of excitement, pride, and happiness. In those days she realized something. Looking at her sister was not looking at the same one that she left five years ago, no, it is being in front of a woman full of life, of aspirations, with a beautiful contagious smile. Look at her standing there having the time to talk to her fans, to sit down and talk to them. At times Caitlyn shed tears seeing her from a distance, she realized every day how much she loved and loves her sister, her heart is already healed, her forgiveness became the only truth about her. She regrets the lost time but she now loves the time they both have ahead of them.

On the other hand, Alex loves moving around the city like one of the people who only has two things on their mind every day; Get to work early, wait to leave. Alex always becomes one more among all those workers, children, among the adolescents who do not stop talking about her adventures. She loves the simple things in life, and she especially loves doing it while listening to her favorite song "The Only Exception" by Paramore, it is a relaxing and emotional song for her.

When, after making her tour of the city, after meeting so many people, her trip took her to the hospital where her sister works. There she was waiting for her, talking with the receptionists, with some workers or visitors, and when she was not doing this, she would lean against a wall, she always wears a beige trench coat. When she watches her exit the elevator she only sees a busy woman, with her bag in one of her arms, her purse hanging from her shoulder, her hair impressively arranged, with her makeup still looking good. He listens to how her heels echo everywhere, imposing. She usually wears a skirt or elegant pants and rarely wears a dress, she loves the fine style that her sister wears on her, she looks at her as an important woman, full of wisdom, full of surprises for everyone. She is a versatile, cunning woman, a strong woman.

Alex got ready with a dress too, short but red, unlike Caitlyn she wears tights with red boots, her entire outfit is red, her favorite color, it was in fact what hurt her the most about accepting the role of Zatana, dyeing her hair black leaving behind her beautiful red hair. However, the black color in her hair matches her, it was difficult for her to accept it but that hair tone is very beautiful on her, her eyes stand out, her thick lips stand out even without makeup. Her and his sister's beauty is natural, in fact that's why they don't usually wear much makeup other than simple makeup.

Alex waits with his parents leaning on Alex's Mercedes. The three look at the lonely street, accompanied by the lights of their own and the houses where, unlike outside, there is movement. The three talk while they wait under the beautiful night that shelters them with a beautiful Moon and stars that paint a beautiful spectacle. In New York it is not very common to have this type of landscape, she got used to the Big Apple, to its hurried life, to always seeing a completely dark sky. Five years had weighed heavily on her, her parents were the ones who traveled to see her whenever they could. Why didn't she travel? It's not that she didn't want to, Alex in fact many times thought about abandoning her dream of being an actress. She had a philosophy, one which she used to the letter.

—If I am going to be an actress it will be because of my effort, I want to do this alone, I don't want anyone to help me. I will do this on my own, I will create my path regardless of the obstacles.

She said it when she received the offer of a play on Broadway, she left with what she could fit in her suitcase, it hurt her to leave her family behind, especially Caitlyn, but that was her moment, for her it was all or nothing.

Matilda and Adam talk about it, they are impressed and proud, they both admitted the pain they felt at not being able to give her something, not supporting her other than encouragement from the other side of the United States.

Adriana, Avril and Andrew on the other hand wait ready after a busy afternoon. In the living room they rest for a moment after having the varied dinner in dishes ready, Andrew prepared his famous BBQ ribs with chipotle, while Adriana was in charge of preparing the accessories and Avril was in charge of getting the necessary wines and condiments and then helping Adriana . Andrew's kitchen is very extensive, perfect for preparing a banquet because it is so well equipped, thanks to his mother who used to be a chef. However, the most complicated thing, at least for the two women, was getting ready when time was running out. Proof of this was Andrew's bathroom that was left a mess with makeup everywhere, clothes scattered on the floor, it is more a scene of a hurricane than a tidy bathroom like Andrew likes.

Avril stops a little, she takes out her phone looking at their conversations, she notices how distant the last time was when she talked to Hayden, she scolded him, and she judged at first, neither she nor Caitlyn have told him anything, seeing the conversation gives her a remorse that instinctively makes her call him, she hopes not to wake him up or interrupt anything, she sighs, waiting. Adriana and Andrew watch the scene from the kitchen, they see Avril with her legs crossed wearing white jeans along with a beautiful blue long-sleeved blouse, Adriana carefully serves the sauce on some pieces of meat trying not to stain her skirt or her beige blouse.

—Do you have time?— Avril initially speaks with a dry voice, looking at the television.

—Yes, yes I have it. What's happening? Hayden is already sitting on a bench watching the East River, the cold night is already upon him while he drinks a coffee which has already gotten cold, it only helps him quench his thirst a little.

—Nothing, I just wanted to call, ask how you are. How are you doing there with Victoria?—.

—Wonderful, everything is... well, I think so— Hayden drags his voice, leaving behind a palpable demotivation in the echo of his voice.

—Is everything okay?— Avril understands Hayden's voice at that moment, it is discouraged, uneasy.

Adriana raises her head, quickly looks at Andrew who did the same, the two understand each other with their gaze. He has just cut the meat, leaving the knife on the plate, he approaches Avril who does not take her eyes off the screen while an uncomfortable silence passes through the speaker. Andrew asks her to give him the phone, Avril without understanding anything gives it to him, he walks to the coat rack taking her jacket while he opens the door.

—Hayden! I'm Andrew...—.

After a few minutes, Adriana approaches with two mojitos in her hand, she gives one to Avril who thanks her by taking a sip of the drink.

—Give them their space, only the two of them understand each other— Adriana takes a sip of her mojito, leaving it on the table listening to the small knock that the living room table makes —Just let them talk and in an hour they'll both be as good as new, at least For a while, they are men, their natural state is always to laugh at anything stupid or do very stupid things. They love simple things from a small compliment to a simple gift—.

—Sometimes you surprise me, Adriana, you are so tough and strict but sometimes a simple woman—.

—Do not get used—

The night warmly embraces the meeting, Adriana talks with Alexandra, the two seem to get along well, while Avril, Andrew and Caitlyn talk at the other end of the room, leaving aside the table where they already make the food, everything had been delicious on the part of All three, Alex especially applauds the mashed potatoes along the loin. Caitlyn loved the BBQ ribs and as surprising as it is, she loved Adriana's salad along with the other side dishes she prepared, Adriana is not offensive, she is not that woman who drags poison in her words, for that night she is being the woman which is with Andrew.

Caitlyn proposes a toast, raises her glass with some wine while Andrew raises his beer and the others follow the proposal with different drinks, the five of them clink their drinks and immediately give him a drink. It is then that sitting in the living room, Andrew curiously looks at the sisters.

—Have they told you that they are a copy of each other?— Alex and Caitlyn clink their glasses, agreeing with Andrew, their fussy smiles give them away.

Avril smiles taking a potato, purses her lips and looks at Andrew who puts his arm over Adriana's shoulders.

—They told them several times, even I got confused with them. They both played pranks on me when they were redheads— Avril explains.

—What kind of jokes?— Adriana looks at Caitlyn but the one who answers is Alex.

—Well, they weren't jokes, rather we were covering up for each other. An example was when Caitlyn had a boyfriend that Avril didn't want, however my little sister didn't listen to him and I covered for her, she always had to cover for Caitlyn when she didn't want to do something with Avril. She always found me asking personal questions between her and my sister—.

—Yes, that's how it was, but it was nothing like Caitlyn's joke to me— Avril sticks out the tip of her tongue, making a funny face, threatening to tell the story of the party where she met Mark. Do you remember her?

—Oh no— Caitlyn puts her fingers to her forehead, closing her eyes —Don't go talking about that—.

—About what?— Alex looks at his sister, she is as red as a tomato.

—Wait, this got interesting, she turns red when something makes her feel nervous— Adriana sits back smiling and sees Avril who finally seems to have her revenge.

—Well, if the public wants blood, it is my duty to spill it. It turns out that a long time ago, she, a friend and I were at a party where our friend and I got drunk, Caitlyn was in charge of taking us home, luckily my parents live near them. So to make a long story short, Caitlyn wanted to change me but she couldn't because my drunk self started flirting with her. It was at that moment that our beloved redhead came up with the idea of sleeping with me in my underwear so that when I woke up she could pretend that we had had sex. Obviously I was scared but later it became an anecdote for me—.

—Caitlyn!— Alex exclaims, noticing her sister's embarrassment; she covered her face, hiding what was perhaps a smile.

—Well, at least now he can avenge you for that—  Andrew clarifies, leaving his beer on the glass table while having a little snack.

—Who knew you would be capable of that— Adriana applauds, smiling —I wouldn't have even thought of that, here's to that, dear—.

—Well, Andrew, Adriana, how did you meet?— Alex caresses Caitlyn's back, who is trying to relax. She wasn't too bothered by the story, in fact she was laughing a little, but she was a little worried that they would think she had lesbian tendencies, or Well, he did have them for a while but they only stayed in his head.

—It was a bit curious, Adriana couldn't see me or Hayden, we always fought about anything. The three of us went to the same school and in the same classroom, Adriana was hateful, very unbearable and I think it was her attitude that made me fall in love with her—.

—You and Hayden were the hateful ones, they always believed each other a lot for being good at playing soccer or you with your technical things— Adriana replies, squeezing Andrew's forearm a little —What can I say, I was irresistible to him. However, over time we got to know each other more until without knowing it we were both in love, and that was what bothered us, it was very obvious to everyone but we both always denied everything—.

—Even when they met me, the two of them always wanted to show that they were friends, Hayden bothered them every day until the two of them finally stopped their obvious lie—Avril interrupts.

—There is one step from hate to love—Caitlyn adds.

—Speaking of Hayden, I see that you three have a lot of history— Alex finally sees Victoria, the woman who is now with Hayden, he wants to ask about her but he knows his sister's situation, he evades the question better by focusing on the three of them.

—That's right, the three of us have traveled to so many places that we can't count, we have done very stupid things like running away to the beach, or when Andrew and Hayden went camping in the woods to look for witches or the goat sucker, rather these two are my idiots—.

—I'm your favorite idiot, right?— Andrew laughs, throwing a peanut into his mouth. Adriana just puts her arms around his neck while the others laugh. It's a quiet, beautiful night full of comfort like they've never felt before.

Caitlyn sees the pictures on the wall again, she walks holding her glass of wine after leaving Alex in the guest room, she had drinks with Avril and luckily for both of them, the room had a double bed. It's been a long time since she spent time like this with her sister, it doesn't bother her at all to see her drunk, instead she finds it funny how much of a joker she seems. I think she felt that way being with people she trusts. Does she do it? After so long, can she trust them? Andrew, Adriana, Avril and Hayden, with the latter hesitant, she wants to talk to hers but there is a small part of her that still thinks the worst. She looks up at the kitchen where Andrew washes the dishes, her smile, her relaxed look inspires confidence in her, then she sees Adriana, who clears the table, she can be obnoxious, a viper and yet she feels safe with her like a kind of friend like Avril that she can trust with everything. If she trusts them, how can she trust Hayden? Can't he also feel confused? I think it is up to us to choose blindly in some decisions but that is what defines us, Caitlyn looks at his messages, she loves him with all her heart, that pure love in her is what keeps her firm in the promises of He smiles when he sees a photo of Hayden with the player of the match award. His smile, his eyes, his beautiful face make her blush, that is what keeps her faithful and sure to continue with Hayden despite everything, she will give him his time to explain, she will listen to him as he did with her, now it is her turn to be for him.
