Tilo's Pov.

It's been weeks already. He just lays here, eyes closed and he is totally motionless. Doctors say that he doesn't show any signs of waking up near in the future. They haven't said it, but I know that they think that he is never going to wake up. He has to. Maybe my feelings for him never died. Maybe they have been here for my whole life. I just know that I don't want him to die. I don't want him to lose his life, all those years he has still left to live.

But he has different ideas.

From his hearts steady beating. He flat lines. His heart stops altogether with his body. I don't want to believe my own eyes and ears. The doctors sue me out of his room. In my mind I tell Goodbye to him.  But in the corridor I can't keep my calm anymore. I break down into a sobbing mess. Both Chris and Meinhard know what has happened. Maybe Meinhard wanted to hide that small smile from me, but I saw it anyway. He is happy that Achim is dead. I know I should also, but I can't. My mind screams at me to laugh and celebrate, but my heart wants to curl into a ball and scream and cry in agony to the last day I live.

Achim's Pov.

I find myself standing in front of huge golden gates. I'm standing on clouds, they feel so soft and warm under my bare feet. How can clouds be warm, when the rain that falls from them is cold? What am I doing here anyway? I have done so much bad, but I am standing in front of the gates of heaven. How can this be possible? They open, but I know I don't belong here, so I don't even try to go there. It is not the place I belong to. But I can't go back either, my legs refuse to move.

An angel with pure white wings stops in front of me, motioning for me to come. I just shake my head, I can't. I don't belong among the pure souls. That's exactly what I tell her. She asks me to leave my moral, that is when I know that something is wrong. They want me there to trap me and chain my soul to the last day of earth. I know I deserve this, but at the same time I don't want to.

"You have choice to go back and make your sins to good. Leave the devil in you here and go back as a pure man."

I can only nod to her, anything to make my choices into a good ones. Now that I actually know what I did wrong. So when I finish my nod, everything goes black. My eyes open to a bright light and a smiling doctor.

"Welcome back from the dead Mr. Teufel."
