I,Liesel was the one that survived from the bombing in Himmel Street that Cold-Bloody night.
…A man helped me to get up from the ground where i was lying over the shattered basement.I was trying not to face the truth but in dreams you don't get hurt even in nightmares you can't feel the pain and I was in I was sure I wasn't to find something-anything that I knew but I could recognize nothing.
The street that was named after heaven,the street that I grew up was houses,the stores were shattered,the road we were playing soccer and running was covered with bricks-dust-stones you barely could walk.
I was lost-I was worried I was a kid,
Some would call me a young lady because I was 14.
No,I wasn't age doesn't matter I was still a kid with no place to call home.
It took nothing to look down at the ground and see my beloved parents lying.I run,not fast but as my feet could go!My breath was getting heavier every footstep I made,finally I was there down at my knees crying and holding their dusty-bloody hands on my face.
"Your Majesty…"I heard papas voice"Papa!"he took his hand and place it on my shoulder"Everything's gonna be ok,don't you worry child" and his hand fell to the grown I pick it up and held for some seconds then I heard mama "Sshh,don't forget we love you Liesel"
Now the tears fell down my face like a river"why God?!Why?!" I shouted but everyone was to busy finding other dead or half-dead people to take their attention.
As I took a last glance to the place that I swore I wouldn't step again,I saw Rudy Steiner.
Oh that boy,that saukerl why him? Was my question why him?Why them?why not me?
I left my dear parents to rest in peace.
I gave both of them a kiss in the forehead and I said the last good-bye,with not looking back.I ran to Rudy as fast as I could,the men that helped me held Rudy in their arms now and I saw them put him down gently.
"Rudy-Rudy!" I remember that I hugged him tight "Liesel,saumesch.." I put his head on my lap to rest and I told him not to say a word"Nein,I have to say it!Liesel I lo.."That was it I broke,my last meaning of living left me,Or that was what I thought at least…"Rudy-Rudy NEINNN!"
"wake up!Wake up!you Saukerl!"
Yet even shaking his body didn't work "Nein,Rudy!Saukerl Don't you EVER dare LEAVE ME!"my tears fell to his face I was crying out loud I didn't care about it "Please,Please just please promise me this Saukerl!"
Yes,I was now crying over my best-friends body "Liese…"someone was speaking but whoever was it I cut him and said "Rudy!Nein you have to Wake up I don't care if you promise or not just Please…it will be your fault If I never love again! I put my hands around his neck and I put his on my waist I kissed him!Yes I did and I loved it it was a true-loving-soft kiss only and just for him
"I told you,saumesch one day you'll be dying to kiss me" I couldn't believe it he..he was alive"What?!" i said"What you think? With all that screaming and yelling over my head how can a man die,saumesch?"
