A/N: First of all I want to greet Shaona, it's her birthday today! Happy Birthday Shaona! Gratulerer med dagen!

Life is full of unexpected things. That’s the truth that we always forget. We go out into this world thinking that we got everything under control just to learn that in fact it was never in our hands. We always think that we are playing our games and that whatever happens is up to what we choose and what we throw away. There’s a little truth about that but as what I have experienced, life just goes wherever it wants. I once thought that I am the center of everything. That whatever I want and need will find their way towards me as long as I work hard to get them. It goes to show that the universe doesn’t work that way. I thought that I was the one pulling the strings but the reality slapped me right into my face and I woke up realizing that I never really got a grip on it to start with. And then, when you’ve done realizing that, you just go with the flow and accept whatever happens. That’s basically what’s happening right now. I was often the hard headed one, Vegard and my parents can testify to that. I always insist on something I want. I never learned to let go. And when I couldn’t have what I want, I play the ‘I’m depressed and upset’ game until someone gives up and give me what I requested or for some instances, ordered. But what happened to me lately was not a game. I didn’t feigned depression or jealousy or getting hurt. No. They were all true. My mistake was just I wasn’t able to move on. That’s why I jumped off a cliff and learned how ironic life can get.  A few months ago, I threw myself down a raging river wanting every bad thing to end. But then, a Reve Gudinne found me and gave me a life extension. And with that time span I realized that I wasn’t able to see one thing when I decided to end my life. I was so focused on getting rid of the bad ones that I forgot to see the good ones. For instance, my family, my friends, my work, and the chance to see Alija’s smile or her blue eyes again. Now that I finally saw the bright side, now that I don’t want to die anymore, the inevitable came running to me to claim what I borrowed. I once asked myself before, in the middle of my grief, the purpose of all this. I came back to life just to come as quickly to death. I back then, don’t get the point. Now, I think I know the answer. I was made to realize the beautiful life I was throwing away and yes, it was I think is a punishment.

There was a snap when two humans appeared beside that dead log. Reve, despite of her tight grip on Bård’s hands fell down on the ground panting. Bård took his hands off hers and just left her there, not caring. This was the girl who saved him from that fall, and this is the girl who put Alija’s life to danger. Yes. It wasn’t her fault. Nothing should be blamed on her because he knew that all these things would never happen if he didn’t committed suicide from the start. No Reve Gudinne, no bead, no accident if only he had held on a little bit and stopped himself from running towards death. It’s unfair for Reve that he’s mad at her but sometimes, acceptance comes with anger. He just couldn’t stop himself.

He turned his back away from Reve and put his hands on his jean’s pocket. His phone was still there. He chuckled on his mind. Well at least they can locate my body. He thought.

“I have something to tell you.” Reve said from Bård’s back. She had managed to stand up. Her voice was different. It sounded weak, different from her voice back at the hospital.

“What is it?” Bård said uninterested.

“I’m sorry for what I did.” Reve said sounding really sorry. It was like the person from the hospital was different from the ones standing here in the forest.

“Well your sorry won’t really do anything right now.” Bård said his back still against her.

“I know. I just don’t want you to get angry at me.” She said.

“You should have thought of that before you did that to her.” Bård said coldly.

“I don’t know. I wasn’t able to think straight that time.”
