It Was Not Only A Weekend by Camila Rodrigues, aa aa, aa aa, aa aa (chrysanthemum read aloud txt) 📕

my vision into a fixed point, I started to hallucinate colorful creatures flying over the heads of the crowd. Also, I could feel the music coming from inside my body, and not from the giant sound boxes from the stage. I don't know if I was enjoying it or panicking.

I felt the necessity of breathing pure air, therefore, I rapidly ran to outside the stage. Andrew came running right after I left, but I could only notice his presence when he strongly grabbed my arm.

"What is happening Angel? Are you on drugs? Can you hear m..."

Suddenly I could not hear anything else but the agony in his voice. His blue eyes were the last thing I remember before everything turned black.

After

 

Slowly I woke up. I didn't know what was happening, where I was and why the back of my head hurt so much. I could only feel someone holding my hand, warming me. It was Andrew. He faced me with so much tenderness, that he even smiled when I woke up.
"Thank God you are conscious again. Don't worry Angel, I will take care of you for this entire weekend, but now you have to tell me what you took before fainting."
" I just remembered of drinking a bottle of water and hallucinating afterwards… " My voice was very low. I think I can still feel the effects on my body.
"Someone probably dissolved drugs in that water.... I knew it! I shouldn't have let you go buy that water alone!".
"It's not your fault Andrew, do not blame yourself for this. You should come back to the show and enjoy it. After all, this is still Coachella!"
"I will not go back without you… Now I will take you home so you can rest and come back tomorrow. This next time I will not take my eyes off you!"
We both laughed and stared each other in eyes. He picked me up in his arms and took me back to his house in Palm Springs. Over there, we watched movies and TV shows embraced together, but he was always respecting me. Also, he cooked me dinner and right after we finished the food, we started talking again.
"Which movie do you want to watch now Angel?"
Actually, I was tired of watching movies and being in rest for almost the entire day, so I proposed that we should enter into the pool. He seemed to like my idea, and then both of us jumped inside the cold water illuminated by the moonlight. Surprisingly, he hugged me and we were face to face in that moment. Finally, his lips were against mine.
In the next morning, we returned to the festival, but now he was my all-day-long company for the next two days. We encountered the other boys and Serena, who asked about what happened yesterday. We briefly explained it so that we could finally enjoy the festival together. We danced and jumped according to the electronic beats of Jack U; we sang all songs from Halsey and other twenty bands; we took various photos. It was incredible!
Andrew decided to take Serena and I back to our houses in Los Angeles on the Sunday afternoon since Coachella has sadly ended. When we arrived at my house, Andrew presented himself for my whole family, who assumed to love his politeness and commitment.
"You don't know how much I will miss you, my little Angel. I love you so much..." The warmth in his words comfortable me. I knew that he would call me every day to see if I was fine and to conversate.
"I love you too Andrew...". We kissed, but not for the last time. This was only our first weekend together.
