Wille stopped hurting himself.
He says it's only thanks to me.

One day, towards the end of our last year at Hillerska, Wille and I got called during class by Yan-Olof.

When we left the room, he told us they were driving us to the royal palace, and that we would'be spend the night there (luckily the night before I slept with Wille, otherwise I wouldn't had the pajamas).

I send a message to mom and she replied with a "okay mi amor".

They took us to the castle.

It was an hour journey, where Wille and I sat togheter and we shook hands.
Malin also smiled at us.

We arrived half an hour late and when we did..

OMG that palace was amazing! And huge!!
They took us in and it was heaven on earth!

They took us to Queen Kristina's office. We sat down in here and we heard her "speech".

-Good morning guys. I'm glad you were able to come without any problems.
Me and Wille were holding hands.
-Simon, can you confirm me that Wilhelm has given in into self-harm?
-Yes.
-Well, Wilhelm.. who stood next to you during this dark time?
-Just Simon.. Nobody knew nothing. - he answered, with a sad air.
-Oh.

There was a short silence.

-Simon, can you tell me what have you done for "supporting" Wilhelm?
-Oh, your majesty, I don't think I did that much. I would like, if you don't mind, Wilhelm to tell you. I am afraid I'm going to say something wrong.
-Wilhelm, tell me yours.

Silence. Again.

-Simon was close to me everyday, sometimes he even stayed for the night. He brought me food everyday and he gave me and explained me the notes written in class. He has always been there for me. He also helped me with my panic attacks and my vomit. I have always been free to tell him everything and he always listened and helped me. - he said, smiling.
But being true, he still had panic attacks.

-Okay, Wilhelm. May I talk to Simon? Alone?
I watched Wilhelm.
-Yes, mother. - Wille said, scared, and he left.

We were alone.

-Simon.. it's really hard to say, but I owe you the world. Thanks to you Wilhelm got over his panic attacks and his vomit. He always talked about you the few times I called him and he was so happy for having met somebody like you. He really loves you and if it wasn't for you, he might not be with us anymore and...  Thanks. I have a lot more to say but I really don't know how. - The queen said and smiled.

-Uh.. really, it's okay, don't worry. - I said.
-You can go now. - she said and let me leaving.

When I got out I found Malin.
-Sorry, can you tell me where Wilhelm is?
-Yes. He's in his room, right over there.
-Thanks. - I said and went to his room.

I got in.

For a few seconds we were just standing up  like two idiots. Then I run for hugging him.

-Hey, what happened? - he said.
I started to cry in his arms.
-Hey!! What did my mother told you? Something bad?
-No.. - I said, sobbing. -She thanked me for being so close to you. But she was in tears and.. duh, have I done that much for you?
-Simon. You made my freaking life better. I mean, you were the only one there for me during my black time. I love you.
-I love you too.
