I wake up seeing how three bullets pass through his body.

The cranium.

Mouth.

The heart.

-David!!

I see that Massimo is wearing black clothes, he is old, with that intense eye color and that goatee. The moment he sees me he points at me, clings to the seats and I see that he opens one of the emergency exits, due to the gravity and altitude that the plane is losing the door flies off. This is about to explode, I look everywhere for my friend until I see him on the ground, I will always recognize that hair of his, but it is lying around.

—If I don't kill you, this thing will kill you, little whore.

I try to get to David, but a huge piece of the plane bursts and it's true, this thing is about to end up in the sea and before that it will explode into a thousand pieces.

-David!!

—See you Emily, in death, because I have a lot of fight to give to your little Italian whore.

—David, answer!!

One of the holes is very close to me, I have to jump with David, however, he doesn't respond no matter how much I yell at him, I see his head and it begins to get wet in his blood.

—Massimo!!

By the time I call him he jumps taking something from the plane, people are trapped, with pieces of the plane buried and David doesn't move anymore. When the tip of it lights up I only have one option left, I run to the hole caused by the same bomb that that idiot planted and I see my unresponsive friend for the last time.

Is he.

It's me.

Or we are both.

I throw myself down, letting the air be taken from me and the gusts of pressurized air hit my chest. I spin in the air and fall into the water just as the plane explodes into pieces. I go deeper, I hold my breath, but a piece of the plane hits my abdomen, causing me to open my mouth.

The water enters my lungs, I kick and scratch as if this will help me hold on to the water, which is a liquid state from which I will not be able to escape. Other pieces fall nearby, above everything lights up orange and it breaks my heart to see that there are pieces of bodies falling on the water.

One more piece hits my head.

I stop breathing, immediately the windows of my soul close completely.

My eyes lose track of what's happening out there.

I just feel like my body is going down and down, there is no one to save me, there is no one to get me out of this place.

The clouds are filled with blood due to the great catastrophe that happened in Calabria, I knew it, we have not yet left the country or passed through other territories.

Was there salvation for me?

I don't know, because I had finished everything with him and for someone like Salvatore there will always be second options, maybe he won't be his first option either, maybe he will die being the second option.

And it's okay, I did what I could, I proved myself enough to believe in myself again.

And that's enough for me.
