- are you ok? - says blas - i know this is a hard day for you. just wanted you to know that i’m here. always. 

-yeah, i’m ok. i was just trying to remember what having a mom felt like. because i think i felt today. at your parent’s place. i haven’t felt this way for a long time. 

-what do you mean? - asks blas.

-yeah. it was when i was with your mom. you and your dad went to wash the dishes and your mom looked at me, caressed my cheek and thanked me for being there. with you. for making you happy. i couldn't say anything. she really caught me off guard...

blas’s face turns slightly red. he’s looks surprised.

-what? she said that? wow. she talks too much sometimes. i’ll tell her to apologize to you. - he’s so embarrassed

- what? are you crazy? it felt really great. she also told me that you never brought anyone with you to them. that you never loved someone so much to do that. and that i could count on her and your dad anytime that i needed them. that she knew that i don’t have my mom with me but that she could hug me anytime i needed it so i could feel my mom’s love.  it was... just... 

-it was so inappropriate.it was not the moment. i’m so sorry i told her about your mom. she was so annoying asking all kind of questions the other day when they met you. i had to tell her. i also told them because i didn’t want them to say something that would make you sad. this is very important for m- junior cuts him off with a kiss 

- shut up. can you please let me finish talking? thank you. i wanted to say that it was so beautiful. - his eyes get teary and his voice starts to shake but he can hold the emotions- i just didn’t feel something like that in ages. someone talking to me in such a pure way. looking to me in the eyes. and offering me help and support. it kind of reminded me of my mom, even though i barely remember her. she made me feel loved. but it’s that kind of love from a mom. i needed that but i didn't know it.

junior stops walking, which makes blas stop too. he stands right in front of blas and their faces get closer and closer. 

-thank you for coming back from canada and calling my brother. and for helping me find myself. and for being always there for me. i love you. and i wanna be like this my whole life. 

blas kisses junior on the cheeks first. then on the tip of the nose. then he removes the tears from junior’s eyes with his thumbs and kisses him on the lips softly. 

- i love you so much you can’t even begin to imagine. 

they stare at each other for a bit, smiling. 

- okay, enough with the drama. toribio is alone at home and i miss him. and i’m hungry too. 

-wow. you being hungry. what a surprise. 

S: So, the party wasn’t bad in the end, was it? Did you have fun?

E: Yeah, it wasn’t bad, I missed hanging out with Even to be honest. 

S: Oh yeah, I missed seeing you both hanging out too. But, what happened after I left? When you guys arrived, the moment was so awkward and tense.

(we see images of everything as Elias tells the story)

E: It was just so spontaneous. We were all there... Even and the boys and me and the boys, looking everywhere but at each other.. it was so awkward to be honest. Until someone came and offered something to eat to me and the boys and then Even quickly answered “they can’t, they are fasting, don’t you know that?” and that boy looked at him and say “okay...sorry” and went away. So the moment got even more awkward after that and then Mutta couldn’t hold it and started laughing, and you know when he laughs... it’s so contagious. So we all tried to hold the laughter but didn’t succeed so we all started laughing so loud and I said to Even “you sounded so pissed off ...and that look you gave that poor guy... It was so funny”. And then you could tell Even’s tension was gradually fading and he tried not to laugh but he did and said: “yeah, but it’s just...everybody should know that you now? as everybody knows when Easter is or whatever... does he live under a rock?” and he was blushing a bit. So to play it down I just tap Even’s shoulder and said “thanks, bro, but it’s fine. It’s chill” and Even thanked me with a smile and the awkward silence came back...

But then  Isak was the one to talk first and apologize for punching Mikael and said that he didn’t mean to and that it was wrong and childish and that he doesn’t like violence. It caught us completely off guard. And he kept looking to the floor all the time. You can see he was serious. Even was looking at him, he looked so in love. But anyway... Mikael got closer to Isak and extended his hand as a sign of peace and said “it’s fine, I kind of understand... you might have thought that you could lose Even and the fear and anger took over. Even is a great guy. I know that.” And Even looked at Mikael and smiled and so Even hugged Mikael and Mikael looked at Isak and he was smiling so widely... and Even then apologized for what he said about Islam and homosexuality back in those days when everything was so bad and he explained us about his mi and we said we didn’t know anything and apologized for not being there for him when he needed us and then he came to us and hugged us all.. I think he was about to cry but he was just holding it.... oh! and then I got closer to Mahdi and apologized for grabbing him by his neck and he apologize for trying to beat me. He is a really nice and funny guy actually. And then everyone started apologizing for stupid things... I think they were teasing us... but yeah, that’s how it happened.

S: wow.

E: Oh, are you gonna cry?

S: yeah, what’s the problem? it was beautiful okay?  

E: yeah, true. I was about to tear up a bit when Magnus came up to me and introduce himself and told me about Vilde... and then you saw the rest.

S: I’m so happy everything is getting better.

E: Me too.... well enough of this, you wanna go out an play some basketball? I’ve been training so I’ll probably beat your ass this time.

S: Yeah, you have said that previously but nothing changes. I end up beating your ass anyway.
