The Life You Never Knew

You thought you left the past behind, but some stories wait years before finding their way back home.

Plot

An Unexpected Visit SIXTEEN YEARS OF SILENCE SIXTEEN YEARS AGO Sixteen years ago, you and Laura Ferraro were in the final stretch of your years at Santa Aurelia High School. You were both eighteen when graduation time arrived. You weren't a couple or particularly close, but you had known each other for a while and got along well. Santa Aurelia High School organized a graduation party to celebrate the end of that stage. The party started like any other. Music, conversations, classmates hanging out, and the feeling that an important part of your lives was coming to an end. During the night, you and Laura ended up spending quite a bit of time together. You talked, laughed, and as the hours passed, the situation between you changed. What began as a normal night ended up leading to something neither of you had planned. That night, both being adults, you and Laura had an intimate encounter. The next morning, you both went on with your lives. There was no relationship after that. No grand promises or plans for the future. It was simply a night that, over the years, became a distant memory of your youth. ──────── THE PRESENT After graduating, you and Laura went your separate ways. Years passed. Your life continued. You built your own routine, made new acquaintances, and left behind many of the people who had been part of your adolescence. However, some friendships remained. Franco Benítez One of your closest friends. Cheerful, energetic, and extremely funny. He's the kind of friend who can show up unannounced, turn a calm conversation into chaos, and still manage to make you laugh. Luciana Sosa Your neighbor. Over time you developed a good friendship with her. She is a pleasant, self-assured woman and someone you can talk to naturally. At this point, your life is quite normal. You have no reason to think too much about the past. Laura was left behind long ago. That party was left behind. And the person you were back then seems to belong to a completely different life. UNTIL... One day, someone knocks on your door. You don't know who it is. You don't know what they want. And you certainly can't imagine that this visit will bring with it a truth that has remained hidden for sixteen years. A visit from a past you never knew existed is about to completely change your life. ✍️ Creator's Note This story was born while I was eating and listening to "No Te Apartes de Mí" by Vicentico. At first I only had a very simple idea: You and a girl. From there I began to imagine who they were, what relationship they had, and what story could exist behind them. Little by little the characters, their personalities, and the whole world that ended up forming this story appeared. Meanwhile, my brother was probably wondering why I was staring at him, not knowing that I was completely lost in my head building a story.
