Berwald :Some years have passed since Berwald and Taru befriended each other and they were now in eight grade. Berwald was still living with his dad but the abuse wasn't bad because Berwald got bigger and stronger and Taru well lets say Berwald practically lives at her house . But on today the young swede stayed at home for today was his mothers death anniversary
*sniff sniff* mama why'd ya leave ? Berwald cried hugging his knees and rocking back and fourth. Berwald felt guilty that he had lived and she had died protecting him. He remembers her death so clearly it haunts him every time his eyes close
* flashback*
Winter 2009 - honk beep the cars in front of us blared iterated that traffic wasn't moving.
"Haha traffic sure is crazy this time of year Ber."
"Umhum mama"
"So how was school today sweetie"
"It was um... okay "
"Oh what happened ? "my mother ask with genuine concern
"Well there was this kid who told my I was weird and that nobody could love me' Berwald says voice shaking .
"You honey I love you vey much and your father does too how could anybody not love you, you are so special and you don't even realize it."
"Really!" the young swede ask with excitement in his voice
Yes hon- broom beep her words were cut off by the car that just flew down the lane next to us.Then a man came and knocked on out window
My mom rolled down here window
"Yes may I help you?"
"Yeah Lady get out the car and gimme all your money!" the man said
"dölja" [1] my mother ordered and Immediately got on the car floor and laid down.
"What was that lady" the man ask
"I said nothing , I'm sorry but I don't have any money I can give you" my mother said rolling up the window ,but the man but a gun in the window preventing it from rolling up
"look er lady I need that money ,and I know you got it!" the man yelled obviously this man was drunk ,but I stayed hidden and did not help her.
"come on its the holiday. ya know what give me the money or ill shoot ya "
now I was faced with a choice grab moms purse an call the cops ,or risk getting shot by calling the cops and ignoring moms orders. As if mom was reading my mind she said
"vara stilla [2]Berwald!" she shouted at me.
"look lady I don't understand you. fine ill just shoot y-"
he was cut off when I jumped from the back of the car and onto my mothers lap blocking her from anything that might happen to her. Then a car from behind us ramed into us causing me to fly forward ,and the gun to go of. the last thing I remember was a ear piercing scream and the words
"jag älskar dig "[3] then it was black.
