《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.

Devil Inside
Life is unfair... Nothing is more truer than these three words. Michael Pierce lived his life struggling, with his parents dead and no one to ask for help, he was at the bottom of society. It was inevitable that one day he would die, whether by mugging from another bottom-feeder or by his poorer than poor lifestyle. To his surprise, it was either. Walking home from his daily routine of looking for scraps, he met with a young man whose eyes was empty and a dead-pan face, to his surprise the man was atop a dead woman's corpse. The woman was just shot, as there was smoke trailing from the hole of the gun pointed at Michael's head. He didn't move nor flinch but before he could do anything a bullet quietly passed through his head killing him. Having no time to process what was happening or see what was around him, he heard a calm, confident and very persuasive voice. "Do you want to live and change everything?"
