Everyone has someone who comes into their life for either good or bad.

Either to change their lives or to ruin them.

Vikram Barn.

He came into my life 4 years ago and i still can't figure out if it was a good or bad thing.

*2013*

" Come on Lachy!!!" Vikk laughed. I trailed behind following him to the roller coaster.

" You sure you wanna go on this?" I asked. It was huge and it looked scary as hell.

"Yeah!!" He exclaimed. He took my hand in his and pulled us to the waiting line.

"I'm not sure if this is a good idea." I trailed off.

"You gotta take risks in life Lach!" He smiled showing out bracelets and getting into the seat on the roller coaster.

*2014*

"This looks so scary Vikk. Not sure if we should do this." I said with caution.

"But i wanna go!" He said tugging on my hand.

I looked up the tall mountain that Vikk wanted to climb.

"What if we get hurt?" I ask playing with the cord that was attached to a harness.

"You gotta take risks in life!" He smiled.

"Alright.." I sighed and gripped on to the one of many rocks leading us to the top.

*2015*

"I don't think we should do this. You don't look okay." I said, panic in my voice.

"I-i'll be fine. i wanna do it." Vikk coughed.

I held his hand tightly in mine as i looked at the long trail through the woods.

"You sure?" I ask.

"You gotta t-take risks in l-life Lachers."He coughed out with a small smile.

I nodded and started walking with him, hand in hand.

*2016*

"Please don't go!" I cried, holding the love of my life's hand.

"I-i don't wanna." He stuttered out.

Vikk laid in a small hospital bed with a bunch of wires connected to him.

"I can't do this alone. I need someone by my side." I cried.

Vikk brought his shaky and cold hand to my face to wipe away the tears running down my face.

"You gotta take risks in life Lach." He breathed out.

The heart monitor flat lined as he took his final breath.

"NO VIKK!" I cried out as i got ripped away from his reach.

The doctors took me out of the room, everything going in slow motion.

*Present Time*

Vikk had taught me so many things in life.

He taught me how to be myself and not care what others think.

How to have a good time no matter how much you want to cry.

He has taught me that you have to take risks in life.

I took a risk in my life and i don't regret it.

I took a risk of loving someone even though i knew that they were going to die.

I won't ever forget the moment seeing his face go pale. Oh how i miss him so so much.

Vikk, if you see this, I'm taking the risk of never forgetting you no matter how much i should.

Lets take risks together.
