After two weeks

We finally arrived in Spain, after a long journey by plane and by bus, concerts in Germany, Poland, Romania and France. I love to travel and to see different cultures and environments. This is my dream coming true, excepting that Elisa is not here. Every time I see something beautiful, like a sunset or a big building, I wish she'd seen it. It seems like I think only about her when I am alone. Leon and Max went to buy some food.

"Wow, Max! A thirty person queue at the grocery! Finally we escaped!"

"Yeah...we only waited for ten persons. How could you push that old woman?"

"That was a mistake. Hey, but we took her place in the queue. It was like stealing a lollipop from a child!"

"You did that too, Leon! You also stole a lollipop from that boy!...

Wow...Hey, are you allright? How could you fall like this?"

"I'm OK, Max!"

"Sorry, I was talking to the food. I am hungry!"

"Yeah...in my life I succeded in almost everything I did, but, for example, last month I didn't succeed in opening a car with a needle. I was so disappointed!"

"You can't do it! Let's make a bet. Do you see that car? If you can open it with this needle, you can eat my food!"

"Why are you keeping a needle in your pocket, Max?"

"It doesn't matter."

"OK, let's see!....oh, come on, stupid car!...Yes! Max, it seems like you don't eat today! I opened it."

"Fine, let's go! Maybe that guy is the owner of the car!"

"Get in the car, quickly! He comes to us. I can also start the engine, I hope. Wow! He follows us with another car."

....

"Leon? Hey, answer me. Are you allright? Leon?"

"What happened, Max?"

"That guy followed us and you speeded up. We hit the tree but we escaped luckily."

"OK. Joash doesn't have to know about this accident, at least until we leave Spain. To be honest, I am scared right now."

"Hey, you, thieves! You stole my car! I'll call the police."

"Please, don't do it! I will give you the money, but please, I didn't want to make any troubles. No police!"

"Look! I will wait for a week. If you don't give me the money for my crashed car, I will take them myself, but this will be dangerous for your safety. No police!"

....

In the car

"Wow, Joash! Have you ever thinked about this? You became a real celebrity! Look how many girls are looking for you! I'm already jealous!"

"Maybe I can't find Elisabeth. Maybe she left Europe. And definitely she forgot about my existance."

"Well, she didn't know so much about your existance neither before.."

"Leon! Since I know you I searched informations about how to make someone's disappearance look like an accident a million times. You are still lucky because you are alive. Well, all tickets are sold! I will sing with the most common singers! How great is this?.. Wow! Wait! Stop the car right here!"

"Joash, what are you...? Oh, never mind.."

"Leon, what is Joash doing with that beggar? We have to go at the rehearsals. Who is that girl?"

"It's not a beggar, Max. Let's wait a minute.."

On the street

"Elisabeth?"

"Joash? No, I don't want you to see me like this!"

"What are you doing on the street?"

"I was walking."

"Elisa..This does not look like a walk."

"OK, I don't have a house anymore, OK? My family moved back but I remained to finish my school. Now I'm not going to school anymore. I don't have money to do anything! So what?''

"Elisabeth, this is the reason for which you moved? Please, let me help you!"

"Nobody cares without any reason, Joash. Why should you simply care?"

"Please, please, come with us, I will help you with something. Have you eaten today? Or do you want some money?"

"I can't accept money or something from you..I will handle it. "

"OK. You don't accept money. Wait for me to take my guitar. I will sing here, near to you to earn money."

"No, just leave."

"Joash, we have to go, get in the car!"

"Just a few seconds! " "No! Elisa, look, I have a concert here tonight. Let's go to eat until then."

"No, please, just leave. So you are famous now? Have you come to laugh at me?"

"I will go if you want to, but please...I will be happy if you come to my concert, at the National Music Hall. I kept a ticket here. I hope that you will come. I'd rather see you there than seeing thousands of people."

....

"So? It was Elisabeth, right? How could you recognise her?"

"It is impossible for me not to recognise her..maybe I just found the reason for which I came here."

"What are you going to do now?"

"I hope that she comes to my concert. If not, I will search for her tomorrow. I don't go anywhere without helping her, even if I lose the tour."

...

At the National Music Hall

"The most waited concert of the year! The most common instrumental singers! Let's welcome the first.."...

"Joash, are you ready? You are next."

"I'm fine. Did she come?"

"I'm sorry, I couldn't find her. "

"No!... I knew it! But...she might come at any time.

" Your earphone! If she comes , I will announce you. Don't think about it! You have a lot of fans who can't wait to see you singing. Also, you need to bring the gold prize!"

"Why are you so insistent? Why must I bring the gold? What is happening?"

"Nothing. No, nothing! I just..know that you will!"

"Well...sometimes you just don't want a lot of fans...even a gold prize. You just really want one person to enter that door...''

"Yeah..I know how stupid can be a human sometimes.."

"Joash Davis! On the stage!"

"Thank you for the applause! It was not necessary...I want to say thank you for everything you done for me and that I'm glad to be here. I will sing two melodies. The first is named "Springtime"."....

...

"Hey, you! Come here!"

"Oh, no! How did you find me here?"

"We followed you. If you think that you can escape, you are definitely wrong. Just remember! Give us the money until the next week. Otherwise, you are in trouble."

"Ok, ok, I promise..my friend will earn the gold prize..I'll give you the money, but please leave me now. He musn't see you!"

From the next chapter

"The second melody..it was written by me, I hope you'll enjoy it. It was written for a special person to me...who I wished to be here."

....

"Leon, why are those people following us?"

"Well, if you are talking about Youtube, you post very interesting videos with your songs...people want to see.."

"Idiot! You know what I mean! Those guys are following us! I look at them since we leaved."

Thank you for reading this chapter!
