Are we safe here?
The war has started. USA is against Russia and the whole world is in chaos. The bombs are dropping and you can hear sirens all around. Children are scared and they don’t even want go out to play anymore. The war hasn’t reached Europe yet and Aki that lives in Finland start to think that he should move to Iceland to get a better live and to be safe with his little sister.
Aki is a 19-year-old boy who lives with his little sister. He is mostly the one who takes care of his sister because his mom died recently by overdosing. She had never really been there for them because she was too busy drinking and using drugs. Aki is very caring, and he has everything under control although his mother isn’t there for him and his sister.
Säde is 19-year-old girl who lives alone in Finland because of her studies but she has a mom, dad and a big brother. She goes to school in Tornio and she’s on her last year of upper secondary school. She is positive and outspoken person.
Aki lives in Tornio and there has just been a bomb very near them and he is starting to wonder about if he and his sister are going to be safe there. They decide to go to Iceland because it’s a lot safer there. They know they can’t go to Helsinki because it isn’t safe so they are planning to go to Stockholm and take a flight from there.
At the same time Säde is thinking about moving to Iceland after she graduates upper secondary school. Her plan was always to go to Helsinki and take a plane from there but because of the war she decides to go to Stockholm instead. She called her family to let them know that she is leaving for Iceland to get a better life. Her family is supportive about her decision.
After Säde has graduated she decided to go to Stockholm by car. She packed all of her things and was ready to go. She knew she had a long trip ahead. She got in her car and started driving to Skellefteå where her first stop would be. The weather is windy but quite nice. In just couple of minutes, she had crossed the border and was in Sweden. After a couple of hours she had arrived to Skellefteå and her car was low on gas so she stopped at a gas station and filled the gas tank and got some snacks to eat on the way. She was worried to continue driving because her car had been making these weird noises but she knew she had to continue.
She hadn’t driven a long way before her car slowly started to break down. She freaks out and stops the car. She doesn’t know where she is and there is nobody to be seen. It is night time and she decides to go to sleep in the backseat and hope that someone will drive past and see her. It’s cold and it takes her a long time to fall asleep.
She woke up the next morning to the sound of someone knocking on the car window. She shrugs her blanked of and looks outside. She saw this handsome boy and a little girl through the window. She went outside and was hoping that they could help her with the car. The boy asked her what had happened so she told him about the car breaking down. The boy that she found out that had the name Aki said that he wasn’t able to help her but he could give her a ride to Stockholm because he was going there. She took the offer because she had no other choice and she really wanted to go to Iceland and have a better life. In the car Aki’s sister Anni was sleeping and Aki and Säde started talking. They talked about everything and found out that they are both heading to Iceland. They were surprised that they are both going to Iceland because that’s not usual to have in common. But Säde was excited to have someone to keep her company.
After six hours they arrived at a camping site and decided to get some sleep there. Säde was going for a walk before sleeping. She was walking on a quiet street and the night was peaceful. She saw Aki standing few meters away and she goes up to him and starts to talk to him. They talked while walking and they bonded more because they had common interests.
The next they gathered their things and started driving to Stockholm. It took them a couple of hours to get to Stockholm and Säde talked more to Aki’s little sister. She found out that she is 8 years old and likes ponies. They got along well and laughed together for the whole ride.
They arrived at the airport around noon and bought the tickets for the next flight to Iceland. They had to hurry because the flight was leaving in less than an hour. They ran through the airport when they were looking for their gate. They found the gate just in time and they boarded the plane. The flight took them three hours and Aki slept most of it. When Aki was sleeping Säde was thinking if she likes Aki because there has been something between them in the last few days. She knew she had to talk to him in the plane or they would go their separate ways.
Aki wakes up and he immediately notices that his sister is asleep and he is thinking what to say to Säde about his feelings towards her. He decides to ask her if she likes him the same way he likes her. She does and they kiss. Easy and simple. They talk about if they are going to live together in Iceland and what is going to happen when they land.
5 years later…
Aki and Säde are now married and have one child. They have a nice house with a big garden and a golden retriever. Aki’s sister is now 13 years old and lives with them. They both have steady jobs and the future is looking bright.
