I couldn't close an eye tonight, the sleep just didn't want to come. Tired of trying to sleep, I went out into he middle of the night to take a walk. The air was surprising cold and humid, but I tried to brush it off and kept walking. As I walked, suddenly my mind began to wonder to events of today. I couldn't stop the thought of this morning, I found my mother in the kitchen which was rare. I was happy because I got almost a full vote, I took 29 instead of 30 on  an exam I did yesterday. I told her. What a fool I was, I knew already the answer and yet... She  didn't say anything at first, her blank face was staring at the kitchen island. Then she looked at me, her expression didn't change. "Next time take a full vote", she said as she took her bag and left. Wasn't I not good enough? Why she acted as if she couldn't care less? I've studied a lot, sleepless nights and I barely left home. I should I have known... I shook my head as I brushed off the bad thought from my head.

When I looked up, I found myself in a park.

'I've gotten a bit far than I intended', I thought as I stopped to gain breath.  I could feel the anger  coming to the surface, one feeling that seemed to be thousand of negative emotions. But as it came, it ended as soon as my eyes laid on something. I hesitated, uncertain if I should go or just go back home.

But something was telling me to go there, my heart began to race like crazy, not sure if it was for fear or something else. I put apart the little fear and went over there. When I arrived, my eyes widened and a strong ache that I couldn't put in words, overcame my heart. As if I just had an heart attack. My blood felt suddenly cold that I thought it stopped running into my veins. "MAGNUS!". I screamed.
