Ville's POV (next morning)

I woke up early. Christina was still sleeping. I sat up, trying not to wake her, and looked at her gorgeous face. I would do anything to wake up every morning with her lying next to me. Slowly, I rubbed my fingers against her cheek. Her skin was really warm. I felt her forehead and it was burning up. "Mmmhhh." she groaned opening her eyes and looking up at me. "You've got a fever. Hold on I'll be right back." I ran into the bathroom and got a rag. I soaked it in cold water and squeezed it out into the sink. I ran back into the room and knelt next to her. Gently, I rubbed her face with the rag. Her eyes were closed. I folded the rag and put it on her forehead. Her breathing was steady and she fell back asleep. I kissed her on the cheek and then the phone started ringing. I ran down the steps and answered it. "Hello?" "Ville?" It was Maria. "Is Christina at your house?" "Yea." She let out a sigh of relief. "Pekka called me and told me she got really,really drunk. He said she offered sex but he said he wasn't like that and she got really pissed and ran off." I felt my fist tightening. "Oh, that's what he said huh?" she let a breath out. "I know he's so full of shit. Christina would never get drunk like he said she did. And she would never and I mean NEVER offer some guy she hardly knows, sex," I told her everything Christina told me. "You know what, I'm gonna call Antonio, Angelo, and Roberto. They'll set him straight." I can hear the anger in her voice. "She's got a bad fever from last night. Right now, she's upstairs sleeping in my room. I have a cold rag on her forehead. It should bring the fever down." There was a moment of silence. "Thank you so much, Ville, for everything you've done." I smiled. "Your welcome, Maria." We said bye and hung up. Great, won't Pekka be in for a big surprise. Christina's older brothers, Antonio, Angelo, and Roberto (Maria's twin) are very overprotective of their sisters. I'll have to get to Pekka before them. If they get to him before me, then there'll be nothing left to beat the shit out of. I heard a moan upstairs. When I got up there Christina was sitting up hunched over holding her stomach. "Jesus, I feel horrible." she moaned. "Just lay back down." I tucked her back in and laid down next to her. I wrapped my arms around her again and we fell asleep.

Your POV (dream sequence)

I was running through a forest. There was snow everywhere, it was so cold. I kept running and running down this path. The trees were on fire. At the end of the path, Ville appeared. I ran to him but when I got to him, he stared at me in horror. There were tears running down his face. He was pale and wearing all black. He fell to the ground and put his head in his hands and wept. "No! I can't betoo late! Please, you can't be gone! I need you, I love you." I knelt down in front of him. "Ville?" He looked to the heavens. He couldn't see me. "I'm so sorry. Please come back to me."

Ville's POV (4:00 PM)

I yawned as I got up. The clock on my nightstand read 4:00 PM. Shit! How the hell did I manage to sleep this long? I got out of bed slowly, so I didn't wake Christina. I took a shower and got dressed. I thought about what actions I was gonna take next. I grabbed my keys and left. If I'm lucky, Christina won't wake while I'm gone. For 10 minutes, I thought about what I was about to do. I drove to Pekka's house and slammed the car door shut. The house was enormous. I knocked on the door. As soon as Pekka answered it, I punched him in the face. He landed on the floor with a loud bang. I walked into the house uninvited. He laid on the floor stirring. "Aww! What the fuck was that for you ass hole! What the hell did I ever do to you?" When he started getting up you kicked him in the side so he fell on the floor again. I knelt down over him. Not close so he could hit me though. "So, Pekka, tell me what happened last night?" He groaned. "What the fuck are you talking about?" I smacked him. "You know what the fuck I'm talking about, about what happened between you and Christina." He looked up at me. "All that happened was that she got drunk and wanted a good screw, but I said no. Then, the bitch ran off." That did it for me. I kicked him right in the side twice. I pulled him up by his hair and punched him straight in the face. He fell on the floor unconscious. When I went to leave, behind the door was a coat hanger. I saw a white coat and instantly thought of Christina. Once I got a good look at it, I grabbed it and left.
