always keeps his joy of life, even if that means I am crazy." Ronja jumped up and ran towards the puppy.
Ben looked after her, saw how she played with the dog, saw how Ronja turned and the puppy jumped around her, saw how she laughed and wished that he could do that too.<You can do it too, you could, you just forgot. > whispered a voice within him.
"Ben?"
“Yes?” He looked up.
"" Dreamer, even then you have such a hard and yet sad expression on your face, why? "Ronja crouched down in front of him.
"I'm fine, I have to go." He got up.
"What a shame, I thought you might be able to play along."
"See you sometime, Ronja."
“How do you know my name?” She asked astonished and stood up.
"It says everywhere, on the doorbell, on the mailbox and I can read, and you told me too," With these words he just left.

"Can't you even hear?"
“He spoke to me and not the other way around.” Ronja put his food in front of Helle. As always, Linno sat at the table. "Besides, what's in it? I don't think Ben will speak to me again." she sat down too, but kept an eye on Helle so that he would eat up too.
"You are wasting your life, Ronja."
"So what? I still don't understand.""When he loves, he gets his joie de vivre back."
"Yes what? That's good."
"Then your life is over. God takes, needs, a soul. Either yours or his."
"Linno," Ronja smiled, "you should be impartial. You shouldn't care."
"It's not, Ronja. I want his soul, it's his fault that I'm dead, he should also suffer death." Linno looked at her briefly and then disappeared.
"Linno." Said Ronja softly and looked sadly at the empty chair.

The night just wouldn't go by. Ronja sat up restlessly and looked at Helle, who was curled up on her bed. Like the whole evening, Linno's words stayed in her mind and she tried to find an answer to her feelings and the uncertainty, but she couldn't find any.

In a bad mood, Ronja went into the hallway and promptly bumped into someone when she was about to leave the house.
"Hey." Ronja looked up.
“Hi and see you then.” She just kept walking, leaving a confused Ben watching her go.When Ronja came back from shopping, her bad mood was almost gone, so this time she smiled when Ben came towards her.
"Shall I help you?" He asked, already taking a bag from her.
"Thanks."
"Is ok, why were you in such a bad mood this morning?" Asked Ben when Ronja took the bag from him in front of her front door.
"I did not sleep well, "
“And you're still tired,” he added.
“Yes, and now excuse me, I still have work to do.” Ronja noticed how her anger and uncertainty, which had plagued the whole night, returned.
"You're still rude, that doesn't suit you at all." Ben said with a smile and gently stroked her cheek.
"Why not?" Asked Ronja angrily now, because her heart stopped beating for a moment when she was touched.
"That's how I feel."
"Then you swap Ben." She said and slammed the door.
"You know that he is to blame for my death and still let him touch you and you are gone with him?"Linno stood behind Ronja and gave her an ice-cold look as she turned around.
"Linno."
"Yes it's me."
“I don't even know what he's done and I don't always just sneak up on you like that.” Ronja hissed at the angel, who then looked at her confused.
"How are you then? That doesn't suit you at all."
"Oh no?" The girl asked coldly and went into the kitchen. "I slept badly and now I have to listen to what suits me and what doesn't. Why do other people always know what suits me and what doesn't?" Ronja had arrived in the kitchen and was seriously tempted to try something Throwing wall, "Why do I always have to be nice, friendly and in a good mood? Why can't I get annoyed, scream or just go wild?" She screamed and whirled around to Linno.
"Ronja, that's what I mean .."
"Sure, 'Oh Ronja, don't get upset, I didn't mean that, you are reacting completely exaggerated'
But damn it, I want to get upset. "“It's good.” Linno slowly approached.
"Nothing is good, Ben has known me for a week and tells me that I shouldn't be angry or in a bad mood and it's exactly the same with you, Linno. Do you think," she slowly walked towards the now standing angel, "that It is easy? You are told that you will die if you fall in love and then there is still an angel who scurries around you and always has a nice comment on his lips, "She was now standing in front of Linno and glared at him , "and who then tells you that the guy who dies in my place when I fall in love with him is to blame for the angel's death.
And should I smile and say happily, ´yes ok´? "She turned around again and began to pack away the shopping.
"Ronja .."
"Get out of Linno, just get away, it's too late before. I fell in love with Ben." Ronja dropped her shoulders and now, suddenly exhausted, spoke softly.
"Are you sure? I don't want you to die.Can't you care about him? Then you can still be helped. "
"Whereby? It's kind of weird, isn't it? I don't want to die and Ben? He doesn't care. And now? I still don't want to die, but even less I want Ben to stay the way he is, that he doesn't Has more joys. If the price is that I die, then I want to die even though I know he killed you. "
"Ronja, he didn't kill me, he's only to blame for my death, my own brother is to blame for my death, that's the only thing I can still remember." Linno quietly disappeared and Ronja a tear ran down the walls, for the first time in many years.

She had just got her tears under control when there was a knock on his door.
"Who's there?" she asked.
"Ben."
"What is it?" she asked when she opened the door for you.
"I wanted to .." the boy started, then stopped and looked at her more closely, "What happened?" he then asked instead of answering the question."Nothing what should be?" asked Ronja and tried to give her voice a friendly and cheerful sound.
"You cried why?"
"I didn't cry, you trade."
"I guess I do that a lot today," he smiled slightly, "May I come in?"
"If it has to be," Ronja took a step to the side and let him in.
“What do you want?” She asked again and sat down next to him on the sofa.
“I wanted to introduce myself and give you this.” Only then did Ronja notice that Ben was holding something in his hand. It was a flower pot.
"How do I get the honor?"
"I just moved in here, my father says I should get away from home. And I wanted to cheer you up, that's why the flowers."
"How so?" asked Ronja softly, "why are you so nice all of a sudden?"
Ben looked at her and discovered the pain in her eyes and he didn't overlook the sadness either.
“Because you're the first person who made me laugh since I lost my brother.” He looked her straight in the eye and he didn't miss the shadow that crossed her face before she turned away."Ronja?"
"Yes?"
"You were right, I have secrets and I've had bad experiences, but you somehow managed to make me forget them." he said softly.
"That's nice, I'm always happy to help," she paused and took a breath, "Ben, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hit you like that today, you just caught me on the wrong day. I'm still tired, more than this morning. "
"Is that an expulsion?"
“I think so, I'm sorry, but I just can't anymore.” She raised her head and tried one last smile when Ben suddenly pulled her into his arms and whispered, “You have secrets too, am I right? they put a lot of strain on you. "
Ronja could only nod and snuggled into Ben's arms, which offered her security and warmth. The two sat like that for a while and soon Ronja simply fell asleep.
"Good night, my angel. You must be an angel." Ben whispered softly as he put her in bed and then went to his new apartment.When he was gone, Linno stood by Ronja's bed and said down on her. "Now you are vulnerable and fragile. Ben hurt you and it hurts me to see you suffer." He stroked her hair lightly. "Why do you love him and not me? I love you and therefore don't want you to die.
He should die and you live, I don't want you to become an angel just like that and then maybe I will never see you again. Who knows where you will end up, Ronja? Are you going to hell because you suppress your feelings and your anger? or in the sky? What are you going to work as, will we see each other again? "Linno asked quietly, leaned down to the girl and kissed her before he disappeared.

The next morning Ronja woke up rested. She thought into the evening and made up her mind to go over to Ben and say thank you and now she also wanted to know what happened between Linno and Ben.
She spent the morning with Helle, who was getting stronger and stronger."I have to leave you soon, but then you mustn't get weaker, I promise?" In response, she got a short bark and a dog kiss. Laughing, Ronja fell on her back and wrestled with the puppy.
When the day came to an end, she took hold of herself and went to Ben.
"Hi." She said softly as he opened the door.
“What do you want?” He asked.
"I just wanted to say thanks for yesterday."
"Already OK."
“See you then.” She turned and left.
"Ronja. Wait."
“What?” She turned and looked into his eyes, which looked cold again.
"Maybe we should talk."
"If you mean where and when?"
"I invite you to an ice cream"
"No, you don't have to invite me, but we can have ice cream."
"Come on then," he walked next to her and no one said a word until they reached the ice cream shop.
“And now?” Asked Ronja when they had ordered their ice cream.
"How should you really talk, or what do you mean?" Ben asked in a voice that matched his eyes."Then start, Ben. Why are you so cold and dismissive today? I wanted you to go yesterday, you pulled me into your arms and not the other way around." Ronja said calmly.
"Damn Ronja. You were totally at the end and today you are happy and nice, the way I got to know you, why?"
"I slept well that night. And I realized something." She smiled at him.
"Great,
