《Quem Ri Por Último Ri Melhor》CAPÍTULO VINTE
Advertisement
Quase cinco horas da manhã, Vic cruza a porta da frente de casa. Ela entra rindo e se despedindo das pessoas que a trouxeram, provavelmente o cara que ela estava ficando, e em seguida volta sua atenção para o celular, ainda rindo. Quando ela levanta a cabeça, se assusta comigo, que estou parado a sua frente, sério, imóvel.
-Matt! Que susto! Por que você não tá dormindo? – Ela olha para o sofá da sala onde eu dormia, vendo um travesseiro e uma coberta. – Ou melhor, por que você tá dormindo no sofá? E por que me mandou voltar de carona?
-Muitas perguntas, Vic – eu disse.
-Comece respondendo a primeira.
-Bom, não estou dormindo por que não consigo.
-E por que tem um travesseiro e uma coberta no sofá? – Ela pergunta, desconfiada.
-Porque eu estou aqui essa noite. Antes que você pergunte o porquê, eu vou te explicar. Lauren está dormindo no meu quarto – eu disse, meio sem jeito.
-O quê?! Lauren aqui, sozinha com você? Matthew, o que vocês fizeram?
-Não pense besteira! O imprevisto que te falei tem a ver com ela, eu tive que tirá-la da festa. Ela vai dormir aqui essa noite. Por favor, não fica brava comigo. Sei que você detesta que eu te fale as coisas por mensagem, mas era uma emergência.
-Que imprevisto foi esse? Ela tá bem? O que aconteceu? – Victoria preocupou-se.
-Calma. Eu acho melhor ela te falar. De manhã, quando vocês acordarem, vocês se falam – eu disse, não achando certo contar a Victoria eu mesmo o que havia acontecido.
-Certo. Mas estou preocupada. Posso pelo menos vê-la?
-Claro.
Subi as escadas com Vic e abrimos a porta do meu quarto. A fresta de luz formada pela abertura iluminou o rosto de Lauren, ainda inchado pelo seu choro e angústia. Porém, ela dormia profundamente, e assim permaneceu.
-Matt... – Victoria disse, e eu já sabia o que ela iria perguntar.
-Amanhã, certo? – Eu a interrompi.
Ela assentiu e seguiu para o seu quarto, enquanto eu continuei olhando para Lauren por mais um tempo. Depois, desci e me deitei no sofá, onde acordei no outro dia ouvindo Victoria e Lauren chorando juntas.
