LU´s POV

On Sunday I slept in really late. After “Idol” we all went to some spanish place to eat. It was really fun but I came home at about 2am and slept until 11:30.

I woke up and looked out of my window. Autumn. Time went by so fast. It was hard up first but now I couldn´t imagine going back to Germany.

I grabbed some jogging pants and a shirt Felix forgot at my house and went into the bathroom. I showered and got dressed and went downstairs.

“Ah Lui, good that you´re awake. It´s time for lunch.” my mom said while preparing the table.

When it was done, my mom, dad and I sat down and ate.

After a few minutes my dad said “Lui we have to talk.” He looked serious. Too serious.

“Okay...” I answered confused.

“Listen hun...” My mom started. “We know it was hard for you to leave Germany.”

I just nodded. I had a bad feeling...

“But Sweden, Stockholm seemed like a good idea.” She continued.

Now my dad took over. “Sadly, the job here doesn´t work for me and your mother.”

I stopped eating and looked at them.

“We know that you started to really like it here and that you now have friends but...” My mom looked at me like she felt guilty for something.

“We can´t stay here. We will move back to Germany.” My dad ended her sentence.

I felt how my stomach dropped. I felt the tears forming.

“Lu we know it´s not the best solution but...”

“Not the best solution?” I interrupted them. “This is no solution at all!” I dropped my cutlery.

“Luise behave!” my dad said.

“No I won´t! I can´t believe you´re doing this to me!” I wasn´t able to hold the tears back anymore.

“Luise don´t talk to us like that!” my mom said. “We can´t stay here. End of discussion!”

“I hate you!” I screamed and ran upstairs into my room and locked the door.

I fell into my bed and just started crying. How is it possible that for one tiny moment everything is perfect and in the next one it all tumbles down? How can life be so unfair?

I don´t know for how long I was just laying there but after a while I grabbed my phone and texted Felix.

Lu: Can I come over? It´s important.

Felix: Sure. Is everything okay?

Lu: No. I tell u later.

With that I changed into a leggins, grabbed my bag and went outside.

FELIX´ POV

I was extremely worried when I received that text from Lu. When she finally arrived I saw that her eyes were red. I bet he cried. We walked into my room and sat down on the bed. I took her hand.

“So tell me. What´s wrong.”

I looked at me and the tears started to fall. I tried to wipe them away but it were to many. So I just pulled her into a hug. I hugged her long and tight. I felt her body shaking and it was the worst thing in the world for me. I hate to see her cry. After a while she sat up again. She took my hand in both of hers and took a deep breath, before she said the words that would destroy our world.

“My parents want to move back to Germany.”

Like stones fell these words into the silence.

“I told them that they can´t do this to me but...” she started to cry again. This time even harder.

“When?” I asked without any emotion.

“I-I-I heard... them t-talk... about.. next week already...” She stuttered.

I felt how my heart broke with every word she said. Lu just cried. She wouldn´t stop so I pulled her into a hug again. She snuggled her face up in my shirt and I put my head on her shoulder. She wrapped her arms around me and I held her close. We sat there like that for a while until Lu laid down with her head my lap. I stroked her hair. It got darker outside but we both weren´t willing to stand up and turn on the light so we just sat there in the darkness. I thought about the last months. Lu was definitely the best thing that happened to me. I already lost her once. Thinking about losing her again broke my heart. I felt a tear running down my cheek. I know that we wouldn´t be able to handle the distance so I knew that it would lead to us breaking up.

I realized that Lu fell asleep. I slowly moved her so I could lay down net to her. I put my arm around her and she snuggled into my chest. I felt her evenly breathing. I just looked at her. Some tears were left on her face. I carefully wiped them away. I pulled a strand of her out of her face and kissed her forehead. She clanged onto my shirt with one of her hands. The other one was on my chest. I pulled the blanket over us and just stared at the ceiling while she was more or less peacefully sleeping. We only had a few days left... My head went crazy. It´s over 1280 km. So many numbers. With the time passing by I got less sad but more and more angry. I didn´t want to lose her. She´s my sunshine. The only girl I ever really wanted. Out of all those girls only she was the one. Because for her I´m not Felix from “TFC”, to her I am Felix. The boy that makes her smile. My head went crazy. I wasn´t able to think straight anymore. I felt how my eyelids got heavier and after a while I fell asleep...
