English Version:

I got the idea from Tiktok:

! Protagonist is a male character!

It was already late, when I went home from work. The sun was down already. I buried my face in my fluffy scarf. It was pretty cold outside. I could see my own breath. It was a beautiful night. The weather forecast said, it would snow this weekend. Luckily it was Friday already. I was looking forward to the weekend, when I can sit in front of my fireplace and have a hot cup of tea in my hand. The weekend would be perfect. But now, my friends invited me to a little "rendez- vous" in a small café nearby, in my little town, because in a few days it's Christmas and so they wanted to have a little Christmas Party. I said I would come, although I would prefer staying at home and making me tea. Somehow, in winter, I'm obsessed with tea, but not in other seasons. Actually, I don't like tea that much, but the thought of tea in winter next to a fireplace is just so nice, that I started liking tea extra for this situation.

I walked the way home, so I could change my clothes for a comfortable time in a café and after that I will read a nice book in my bed with a big coup of tea. When I got home my cat slept, like always, on the heater. I smiled. If I'd be small enough, I would to that probably too. I went in my bedroom, changed my clothes and went outside again.

Everywhere were small Christmas shops where you can buy mulled wine or little Christmas gifts or even sausages with bred. It smelled awesome. I loved it going through this market and feeling this Christmas atmosphere. Although it's really cold, it just gives a warm feeling.
I loved the winter. He was like a nice friend I haven't seen in a while.
I loved his silence.
But also I loved the other seasons.

But I heard rumours that this will be our last Christmas. The world is about to end.
If I believe this?
Probably not.
I mean, they have no proof.
Faith will decide it.
But I will continue living as normal.

I came to the café and entered it after a deep breath.
I loved my friends but today I am just to tired to meet them.
'It will be just this evening' I said to me. There's nothing bad about a little party.
Also it's not even a real party.
Who would like partying in a café?

Just a small meeting and talking with my friends, which the last time I met was long ago.

The smiling faces of them greeted me.
"Hey, Chance!" they shouted, came towards me and hugged me.
Yes, my name is Chance. My parents were sort of special. In the beginning, I hated my name, because I was bullied Because me because of it.
But the older I got the more I realised, it's a pretty name and something special.
I'm now proud of it.

"Hey guys!" I answered happily. I noticed that I won't regret it being here with my friends. I'll have a good time.

--

It was 1 am.
My head was lying tired on the table. My fourth glass of Wodka.
Didi regret it?
No, not at all.
Although I expected something... different, I loved it nevertheless.

I looked tired around. There were still a few people. One was nearly observing me. She was staring at me the whole time. But not in a creepy way... but rather in a lovely way.

Suddenly she stood up, came to the direction of my table, but then unfortunately continued going to the exit. A bit sad, I layed my head on the table again.

I took me a while when I noticed a folded napkin, which wasn't there before.
Was that for me?

I opened it.
"Get out now. Well you still can"
What does that mean?
I looked around. She was already gone.
I jumped up and ran to the exit, as she did shortly before.
I opened the door and looked around again.

I didn't see here.
But what I saw was terrifying.
The walls were tumbling down.
I saw darkness. I saw chaos.
There where fire everywhere.
The ground beneath my feet started to split apart.

The world has started to end.
I wasn't ready for that.
I was just a young boy, who loved his life.
Why does this have to happen?

I still had so much to do.
How could I leave my friends behind?
I don't want that this will be my last winter.
I also felt bad about spring, summer and autumn.
I won't be able to say good bye to them.
Nevertheless, they were my friends too.

I loved every season, as soon as they came.
I have to meet them just one last time.
But as it seems, I can't.
The winter will be my friend who was with me 'till the end.

Suddenly I lost the ground beneath my feet.
It disappeared.
I fell deep.
I was surrounded by darkness.

But then I saw light.
Before I think about, if I could survive falling this long, I landed smoothly on the ground.
I felt the wind, when I touched the ground and it just gave me goosebumps.
I loved this feeling.

There wasn't much in this black hole.
There was one bright light coming from one direction and it was aimed at a piano.
A beautiful piano.
Yes, I could play piano, but I do this just as a hobby, so I can't play it that well.

I stared at the piano quiet a while, when I heard a soft melody.
And then I saw the keys from the piano moving up and down.
Like it's getting played by someone invisible.

And then slowly the person, who played the piano appeared.
It was a young lady.
It was she.
The person in the café.

I enjoyed her melody.
I closed my eyes, wanting the melody to never end.

The piano continued playing while she stood up and came towards me.
I hoped, she wouldn't just walk past me, as last time.
But my worries were unfounded.
She stopped in front of me took my hands and said: "I'm Hope. I already know your name. Don't be afraid. You will lack for nothing."

My heart would believed her words immediately.
But my head thought other wise.

Always the head, who ruins everything.

But nevertheless, I couldn't just ignore it.

"Shut the f*ck up!" my heart shouted to my brain.
I smiled. Yes. My head is annoying. Always in my way.

Suddenly I noticed other voices.
I looked around and although I've never seen them, I've known them my whole life.
Spring, Summer, Autumn and winter.
My old friends.
I won't leave here.
I have here everything I need.

"Listen! Please think of it. Is it really necessary? This place looks so sad..." my head said.
There it has a point.
Yes, a completely black place with a cold, white light may seem sad but with the loved persons around, everythings gonna be alright.
My heart just wanted so badly to stay here.

But oh dear, I should have listened to my head .
Nothing is permanent.
They had to leave.
They couldn't stay there forever.
And so, I became lonelier than I've ever been.

But I accepted my faith.
I play piano for those people who are lonely.
Who need it.
