Ylvis- Fix You (Sequel of Broken Inside- Ylvis Fan-fiction)

CHAPTER 23- The Dead Log

Bård went outside the room angry. He saw Reve on the hallway.

"Let's go." Bård said as he dragged Reve with him.

"Where?" Reve asked as she tried to keep with Bård's pace.

"Where are you going?" Ebonne called from behind but Bård ignored her.

They just continued walking until they reached a cupboard full of brooms and mops. They went inside it and closed the door.

"What are we doing here?" Reve asked, panting.

"Let's go." Bård said as he held both of Reve's hands.

"Where?" Reve asked, confused.

"Anywhere away from here. Just anywhere with no people. The forest, I don't know, just anywhere, please." Bård said unfocused.

"Okay." Reve said as she closed her eyes.

"Let's go." Bård said impatiently.

"Wait, I'm trying." Reve said as she tried harder. She never felt like this before. Her powers are so weak.

"I can't." Reve said quietly. She pulled her hands from Bård's grip and stared at them.

"What do you mean you can't?" Bård asked.

"My powers, I think they're gone."

"What?"

"Maybe because I died. And I only have two tails now. I'm becoming more human." Reve said.

"Try harder. I need to get out from this place now." Bård insisted.

"Okay." She said as she held his hands. She closed her eyes and focused thoroughly. And then, they made it to the forest. Reve went off balanced but Bård caught her before she fell to the ground.

"You okay?" Bård asked.

"Yeah. Just used too much energy, I guess." Reve said.

"I'm sorry. I just need to get away from that place as quickly as possible." Bård said. He looked around and saw the dead log where they used to sit down. He went over the log and sat on it. Reve followed.

There was a long moment of silence until Reve broke it.

"So, she's back." She said rather sadly.

"Yeah. The girl who left me for no reason is back." Bård said.

"The girl you always loved is back." Reve corrected.

Bård looked at her, and then realized it was true. The anger is just superficial. What's deep inside is his love for Alija.

"She's back and I don't know how to face her." Bård admitted.

"Was it that hard?" Reve asked.

"I-I don't know. It's so complicated. All I ever wanted was to be with her again, but now, I'm not sure." Bård said as he looked down the ground.

"Why?" Reve asked, quiet eagerly. He might have lost interest of her, she thought to himself.

"I'm dead and soon I'll be gone forever. What's the point of being with her now when I'm just going to leave her?" Bård said.

"Oh." Reve said, down.

"I want to ask her a lot of things but I don't want to see myself falling for another lie."

Reve just stayed silent.

"You know what, I don't know why I still love her. Vegard and Calle keeps on telling me to forget her, to move on, but I can't do it. I'm stuck. I'm angry, frustrated, confused, and miserable, but I love her. I want her by my side, I want her back despite the things she did. Call me stupid, but that's what I feel." Bård confessed.

"Love. I don't get it." Reve said.

"It's something you feel about a person that makes everything doesn't matter at all. It's the best thing in the world but the worst too. You do stupid things because of it."

"Why do you love?" Reve asked. She's silently asking the same question to herself.

"Because it's the best thing too. It gives you so much happiness just with the smallest gestures and actions. Sometimes, just by staring and thinking of them." Bård answered.

"Well then, I think I'm in love." Reve said as he looked at Bård. Bård looked up.

"With who?" He asked.

"You." She said to herself.
