I looked up and was relieved to see that it was Joost. He obviously got worried since he found me crying but I reassured him it was nothing. He then left me alone and I decided to sty in my room for the day. It was for the best.

Fast forward to the day of the finals after everyone performing.

Everything went great. I was happy. I was dating marko and I was in the top 5 of the list. Right now all I could do was panic. I thought about this a lot. What if I win and Marko gets upset and doesn't want to see me anymore, or the opposite? My booth was right next to his and we shared reassuring looks every now and then. Suddenly I heard my phone ring. I opened it and saw a message from Marko
"Don't worry about who's going to win. The results won't change anything between us."
Thank god. It was like he could read my mind. He always knew what was wrong and was always there to help me with everything I needed. Especially during the recovery. That's when I remembered the letter. I didn't think much of it. I mean it's been so long since I got that and nothing happened. Not that I complain abou it. "Greece 12 points!" I heard the woman say. I immediately got back to reality and siad thank you to the camera that was looking at me. I was now 3rd. Above me were Croatia and France. Below me was Switzerland. It was now time for my country's votes. They didn't change the results much since the went to countries after the top 10.

France gave us 12 points and Croatia 2. They went to the 3rd place and it was now me or Marko. We needed 10 points to win. For those who wonder, this year the announced the public votes first as there were some complications in the judge's system. Anyways, back to the competition. The announcer said something that I couldn't make out. But my team started jumping and celebrating and that's when it hit me. I won. I won the Eurovision. I started thanking everyone and hugging my teammates. I then remembered Marko who stood there proudly clapping and smiling at me. I went up to him and kissed him. Everyone now knew.

After that I was called on stage to receive the trophy and perform my song one last time. Marko was first in line to cheer me up. He wasn't upset about him coming second. He was happy and proud of me for winning. I started performing and dancing to the song without a problem since I was heeled from the gunshots.

After all this was done I went up to Marko. "I can't believe you did it! You won!" He said excited. "No, WE won. This belongs to both of us." I said correcting him.

We returned to the hotel to dress up for the after party. He came in my room while I was doing my makeup. "What are we going to do now?" He asked kinda sad. "What do you mean?" I said. "We both have to go back to our countries. And part ways." He said disappointed. "Yes we are going to our countries... For now." I said "What do you mean for now?" "I mean that as soon as I am done with the interviews I am flying to Croatia. I want to be with you Marko. You've made my life so much better and now I can't imagine it without you. So I am going to follow you." I said explaining. "Wow really?" He paused to hug me. " You're the best Klara. And fyi it's not going to be only about me. I'm gonna help you achieve your dreams too.   In any way possible. Because.. I love you Klara." He said shocking me at the end. " I love you too Marko" and with that we kissed. He then left to give me time to get ready. We were going to have a blast.

After the party

I called my manager to see what the plans were for me. I was going to Greece for some interviews and then to Croatia for some concerts. It was going exactly the way I planned.

After the last concert in Croatia

Marko and I were really happy together. We now lived together in an apartment in his hometown. I was now returning there since he had told me that he wanted to talk to me abou something.

When I arrived he greeted me at the door and we went and sat on the couch. "So what's that so important thing you have to tell me?" I say starting the conversation. "Our managers called.... They want us to go on tour together. ALL AROUND EUROPE!!!" He said and we stood up and started jumping from joy. "REALLY. THAT'S GREAT!! WHEN DO WE START? I asked shouting since I was so excited. "We live for Berlin next week." Marko said. Europe get ready. WE'RE FUCKING COMING!

___________________________________________

I finished the story. To be honest I didn't have motivation to complete it and I wasn't going to, as I said in a previous chapter that I deleted, because I decided to do it for you. I know it sucks when a writer doesn't complete the story and I wanted to give it an end. Even if it was with a small chapter.

And I wanted to inform you about a new fanfic I have almost finished. It is based on the movie "Miss Bala(2019)" and it shows how I would have wanted it to go. If you haven't seen the movie go and do that, it's worth it. I would appreciate it if you checked my fanfic.

I appreciate the love you have given this book and it really made me happy seeing all of you enjoy it. THANK YOU!
