Juntos hasta la medianoche
by Deborah HerediaLo que pasó aquella tarde determinó el destino de ambos, pero ¿y si tuvieran una oportunidad para recuperar su vida en común? Noel y Leo son mejores amigos. No, aún más. Son almas gemelas. Se conocen desde la infancia, lo saben todo el uno del otro y no imaginan una vida en la que no estén unidos. Por eso la noche en la que discuten ninguno de los dos puede imaginar que será la última que pasarán juntos. A la mañana siguiente el mundo ha cambiado. El universo los ha separado. Leo no existe en el mundo de Noel y Noel es solo una fantasía en el de Leo. Y lo que es más, solo ellos recuerdan lo que pasó: las noches de risas en el jardín, las cenas improvisadas, los ensayos y el festival. Sobre todo el festival. Noel, que siempre se ha mostrado esquivo con Leo, se cree culpable por no haber entendido que lo que siente por él es algo más que una simple amistad. Leo, enamorado de Noel desde siempre, no sabe qué hacer: ahora que nadie lo recuerda, no sabe si estar a su lado es más doloroso que haberlo perdido para siempre. Una vertiginosa carrera en contra del tiempo en la que tratarán de no olvidarse el uno del otro antes de que el reloj marque la medianoche y todo vuelva a comenzar.
