Isak’s text to Sonja: Hi Sonja. I just wanted to tell you that Even is at my place in case his parents are worried or something. And I’m sorry if it’s my fault that he’s not doing well.

(Sonja calls)

Isak: Hi.

Sonja: Hi.

Isak: I don’t have his parents’ number, so..

Sonja: Yeah, but they know he’s at your place. He texted them.

Isak: Okay..

Sonja: Uhm.. I actually called to say sorry for last time.

Isak: Oh! Uhm.. It’s okay.

Sonja: No, but it wasn’t my intention to get mad at you. It wasn’t your fault at all.

Isak: yeah, but, you were probably worried, so I understand.

Sonja: Mhm.. And it’s not your fault that Even is depressed. He’s bipolar and.. Yeah, it’s not your fault, okay?

Isak: Okay

Sonja: Okay, fine.

Isak: But should I bring him to his parents or something?

Sonja: I actually think it’s good for him to be with you. Okay.

Isak: Is there anything I can do for him?

Sonja: No, not really. You just have to be there for him. And when everything seems hopeless, just take one day at a time. And if one day gets too much, just take it one hour at a time. And if ove hour gets too much, just takeit one minute at a time.

Isak: Hi.

Even: Hi.

Isak: Hungry?

Even: What time is it?

Isak: Like.. 10.30 or something.

Even: I should leave.

Isak: Why?

Even: Because I don’t want you to lay here and feel like you have to take care of me.

Isak: I don’t feel like I’m taking care of you. Why is that wrong?

Even: There’s nothing wrong with it. I just don’t want you to lay here and be sad.

Isak: I’m not sad.

Even: I just know this isn’t gonna work.

Isak: Why do you say that?

Even: Cause it’s true. I’ll just hurt you and then you’ll hate me.

Isak: No! You don’t know shit about how this is going to end. Like, an atomic bomb can crop down on our heads tomorrow and then discussing this is just a waste of time, so I suggest you don’t talk about the future and then we’ll just chill now. 

Now, let’s play a game. It goes like this.. It’s “Isak and Even, minute by minute”. It’s.. like this: the only thing we need to worry about is the next minute. You in?

Even: Okay. 

What are we going to do during this minute?

Isak: In this minute, we’re going to kiss.
