Helena was lying in her room, her phone rang but she didn't want to talk to anyone, she let it ring until it stopped, then it rang again. Helena answered when she saw it was William, taking a deep breath before answering.
📲Helena:Hello?
📲William:When I call, do you answer, Doctor, or are you rejecting me?
📲Helena:I was busy.
📲William:Don't lie, Doctor. You were thinking about me while lying on your bed.
📲Helena:What?.... looks around the room for cameras
📲William:Be at my house at 7:00, Helena.
📲Helena:Bu...
William hangs up before she can say anything. Helena is left confused, whenever he called her "Doctor," it was to provoke her, but when he called her by her name, it was more sincere and serious, as if he were speaking from the heart.
Helena is unsure of what to do, she doesn't know whether she should go or not. Numerous doubts fill her head as the hours pass, and she's unable to make a decision.
Helen:Sister?
Helena:Yes?
Helen:Why are you pacing back and forth like that?
Helena:William told me to be at his house at 7:00.
Helen:What?
Helena:He didn't say why, just told me that.
Helen:Oh my God, maybe he's planning a surprise?
Helena:No, of course not.
Helen:If I were you, I would get ready as soon as possible because it's already 6:00.
Helena:I don't know if I should go.
Helen:Of course you should. Remember what I told you? Don't let happiness slip away, don't be afraid, sister, go to him.
I'll help you choose an outfit. I have to leave too, so let's hurry.
Helena remains quiet as Helen leads her to the closet and they choose an outfit. Helen grabs several fancy dresses, but Helena doesn't feel comfortable in them. She doesn't even know what she's going to do there. Helena searches for a more comfortable outfit and wears it, against Helen's wishes, but she still looks beautiful.
Helen is already dressed and does Helena's makeup, despite her protests that she doesn't need it. Helen wants to make her look beautiful for him. Helena's phone rings, she checks who it is, it's Mateo calling. She takes a deep breath and doesn't know what to do.
Helen:Don't ruin the evening.
Helena:I'll answer before he annoys me.
Helen:Okay, I'm leaving. Good luck and stay calm.
Helena:Thank you, enjoy your dinner.
Helen:Love you.
She leaves, and Helena answers the phone.
📲Helena:Hi Mateo.
📲Mateo:Love, I'm sorry for this morning. I got jealous and my mind was a mess, I'm sorry.
📲Helena:We need to talk, Mateo.
📲Mateo:Do you want to come sleep at my place?
📲Helena:Can we meet at the restaurant we always go to?
📲Mateo:Sure, I'm on my way.
📲Helena:Okay.
Helena takes a deep breath, controlling her heartbeat. She's very nervous, something inside her is telling her that she has to do this, but another part of her is afraid.
Helena leaves, grabs her purse, and goes to the car. She has 40 minutes until 7:00, she will certainly be late to William's house, but she can't continue with such anguish.
Helena arrives at the restaurant and sees Mateo at a table. She walks up to him.
Mateo:Wow, you look beautiful.
Helena:I'm glad you came.
Mateo:I'm sorry, love, I didn't want to be in that mood with you. I regret causing all of this.
Helena:Mateo, I want you to listen to me without interrupting, or I won't be able to speak.
Mateo:Okay, go ahead, talk.
Helena:You know we've been seeing each other for a few months.
Mateo:Dating.
Helena:Please don't interrupt me.
Mateo:Sorry.
Helena:We never made anything official, even after all this time, nothing about us was made clear. I know that for you, we would be dating, as you say. I like you, I enjoy being with you, you make me very happy. I've always liked you since we met, but...lately, I don't think we're on the same page. I don't think we're compatible as a couple.
Mateo:What do you mean, Helena? We're getting along just fine, all our moments together are wonderful.
Helena:I know, Mateo, but I don't feel like we're a couple. I like you, but as a friend. I'm sorry I can't match your feelings. We can't continue as a couple anymore.
Mateo: No, love, don't do this, I like you, I love every moment we spend together, I know your career is your focus but I am by your side, I have patience.
Helena: No, Mateo, it's not working anymore, I'm sorry for hurting you but I can't see you as a friend and be with you.
Mateo: Don't do this, Helena, please don't leave me.
Helena: I'm sorry.
Mateo: My love, I won't be able to live without you, Helena, don't do this, we can change our behaviors and make it work.
Helena: No, I won't respond to your feelings as you wish, I like you, Mateo, but not as my boyfriend, only as a friend. I know it's difficult for you because I know your feelings, I hope you forgive me and that one day we can be friends, I know it sounds ridiculous but I can't continue like this without responding to your feelings.
Mateo: My love, think it through, please, Helena, I won't be able to be your friend when I want you to be my girlfriend.
Helena: I understand, I'm sorry, I have to go.
Mateo: Helena, don't do this to me.
Helena: Sorry.
Helena gets up, Mateo tries to hold her but she leaves, it's been very difficult for both of them because he is a wonderful man and she didn't want everything to end like this or reach this point.
As Helena gets in the car, she wipes her face, a few tears slipped out, when she looked at the time, it was 7:15 PM, she leaves and goes to William's house.
