Chapter 1

"Where to?" asked the cab driver looking back at Viktor weirdly.

"I'm going home" Viktor spoke as he put the lid of the Planters can on. The taxi ride seemed the longest it could get. Viktor still had to go back through the airport, and get home.

They did finally get to the airport, which did take longer then he thought it would, because of traffic. Standing outside the front of the airport, it seemed different. Looking in from the outside, instead of looking out from the inside. Though through those doors was where he had lived for nine months. Where he grew, where he loved, where he changed people's lives. He was going back now, back home, home to Kracosia and home to his father.

He walked through the doors and into the airport with a deep breath, as he did while leaving. He just stood there, watching as people rushed by, Viktor not a glint in their eyes. He watched as people dropped things and forgot things, people tripping, and slipping. He still stood there, bent down though, to set his things down next to him. On the ground was a picture, a photo copy. It was his hand, the one that had been hung all over the airport just a couple hours ago. He held it and looked at it strangely.

"It's funny isn't it? Things change, people change" Amelia came out from the corner she had been watching him from.

"They haven't forgotten you Viktor, you changed lives, you've influenced, and inspired and made some wrongs right around here" she stood close to him.

"Come stay with me tonight- you can leave tomorrow" Amelia took one of his bags.

"What about…'crowded'?" he questioned. She smiled at him as she lightly placed her hand to his cheek.

"Viktor, I don't need him. I have someone else" she smiled widely at him. He smiled back, picked up his suitcase, and followed Amelia out into the snow. Amelia caught the cab, and they put Viktor's stuff in the trunk, then headed to her apartment.

"Sorry it's a mess Viktor! You know how it is!" she said rushing into her apartment and cleaning up a little.

"No, no. Its perfeck" he came in slowly looking around.

"Here you can sleep in the bed tonight, I'll sleep on the couch." She smiled getting sheets out from the closet.

"Here let me" he took the sheets from her.

"You sleep in bed" Viktor spread the sheet on the couch and sat down.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, yes" he smiled, relaxing.

"Ok... but only if you're sure"

"Go" Viktor smiled again, before she walked off, closing her bedroom door. Viktor just sat a minute re-tallying everything he had endured over the last couple months. He couldn't sleep, he just sat there, nor could Amelia. After a bit she finally opened her door to check on him. When she found him just as awake as her, she went and sat next to him.

"You should be tired" she quietly spoke.

"Eh. I want you Amelia"

"What?" Amelia turned to him startled.

"I want you to come with me, to my home" he took her hands in his.

"Please"

"When?" she asked trying to think.

"Tomorrow"

"Tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow" he smiled as she turned away a second.

"…tomorrow" she thought.

"Ok"

"Ok?" he was excited.

"Ok, Viktor" she kissed his cheek.

"Now get some sleep" she went to her room, but this time left the door open. With a smile on his face, and Amelia in his heart and mind, he fell asleep.
