Chapter 8 - 7. Fala Comigo

She just wouldn't answer at all. I'd go to her house and no one would answer. I sent her so many messages and nothing helped. She just ignored me. All I wanted was to hear that voice, but why wouldn't she let me?

...

I was just walking down the street and I ended up running into her.

"Tell me, what's the reason? Why won't you answer me?"

She just ignored me, but she also didn't keep walking.

"Hello? Hello?"

Those were the words I always said on the phone, and they showed up right in front of her.

She looked at me, and ran to give me a hug.

"Why did you make my heart fall in love with you?"

"I'm sorry."

I woke up. I was on the floor of the bar next to Tame Impala. He was leaning against the counter.

"You up?"

"Yeah."

"How do you feel?"

"A little dizzy."

"That's good."

"What do you mean that's good?"

"I dunno, but it's good."

"Did you dream about anything?"

"I did. It was weird, to say the least."

"It won't hurt." I said to myself.

The dream was too good. How can I still remember these things?

"Tell me, what's the reason? Why won't you answer me?"

"Did you say something?"

"No... Nothing."

"Okay, I'm just messing with you. I heard what you said."

"You're remembering her, aren't you?"

"You know things, huh?"

"Hello? Hello? I can't forget you."

"Why do you always repeat the lyrics to that song? Is it some kind of Tourette's?"

"Maybe it is. It's just that this song makes me remember her even more..."

"I didn't know you liked foreign music. This one's Brazilian."

"Music is a really intimate kind of connection. It always gets you in the deepest parts. Everything in it reminds you of something from your own life."

"Yeah, I think you're right."

"Music is a way of life in the end. You never know what the artist went through for them to use that as the basis for one of their songs."

"Yeah..."

"So, wanna get out of here?"

"Yes."

He jumped over the counter and came to me, walking with me out of the place.

"So, where to?"

"Wherever you want."

"Wherever I want... Alright, how about we go to a club over there? Looks cool."

"Sure."
