That day was my birthday, even though eleven years have passed, I remember it as if it had happened yesterday, September 9th was the day I never saw again the person I loved the most at that time, the day he died.

-Mom, today I will sleep over at Akira's house," the house gave off a very strong stench of alcohol, I could not breathe well, I thought I was sleeping.

I went to the door and before leaving I realized that the door was already open, I was sure I had heard my mother enter in the middle of the night, but if the door was still open something must have happened.

-I walked slowly and when I opened the door another smell came out, but this was not of beer or wine, it was much thicker and unpleasant, when I entered I saw her.

That image as clear as water repeated in my nightmares, I cannot sleep without feeling torment, it makes me want to vomit and be released from this cruel memory.

Why?

Right now I'm going to the grave of my old best friend, apparently he died a month ago, but I didn't find out until today, so as the good friend I am I'm going to leave him a bunch of leaves from the bush I saw while going to the airport.

-The driver stammered, he looked nervous and his hands were sweating.

-I am not going to dig up anyone nor am I going to a satanic ritual," I said opening the car door, it was seven o'clock at night and I had to hurry to find his grave.

When I got out the car left immediately, I looked at what was left of orange in the sky and I could see some dark clouds, I jumped the fence and started looking, it was faster than I thought.

-Hm, it's already dawning? -The sunlight started to illuminate Akira's name, now what would I do?

My dark circles under my eyes are very noticeable, I work and even though I move I feel like I have no life at all, again I'm waiting to blink and then see the living person?

-I'm so pathetic- Even though I didn't say anything the tears were flowing non-stop, I felt I had a lot to say, but at the same time nothing.

Could a dead person hear my wailing?

-Overdose... Why? You hated that kind of thing, you were always aware of the damage it caused, does it taste that good or did you just try to swallow your damn problems until you couldn't breathe anymore? If you were going to end up like that anyway, you should have at least stayed with me.

It's no use, he's not going to answer me, no matter how much of a crybaby he is, he won't get up to comfort me or yell at me to leave, it's so sad to see how the best person you knew ended up dying for such a cause....

My lips were trembling and without thinking I said -Die- I felt some drops on my head and after being silent for a while I realized I was all soaked, the cold consumed me and I just wanted to sleep and go back to those times where we were both happy together, I want him to apologize.

Yuuki closed his eyes, they felt too heavy, his clothes were wet and he felt the cold running through his whole body, plus the taste of something bitter in his mouth, he lost his balance and before falling completely he put his arms forward, for a moment he couldn't breathe or open his eyes or make any sound, he felt his whole body in a dense place, somehow suffocating and without any noise, he could swear it was like space, when he finally could open his eyes and breathe, his hands were resting on the floor, a light wooden floor.

Yuuki was puzzled, his hands looked a little bigger and more manicured than normal, he got up as fast as he could and felt a slight pain in his knees, where the hell was he? He looked around, but, the more he saw the more confused he became, there was a medium sized bed that looked comfortable, posters of women with few clothes and clothes on the floor, but what did catch his attention was a large mirror on the side of the closet, he ran praying that he was not in the body of a teenager in the middle of puberty, and then his face changed to that of a dead man.

He took it back immediately, being in the body of a teenager in the middle of puberty was much better than what he was seeing in the mirror, he was in the body of the guy who ruined his days at school, Daiki.

-No, no, no, no...- Yuu paced around the room biting his nails.

Why?! Sure it's for not going to church on Sundays with my grandma, but come on, my grandma never warned me that I would move into the body of the person I hated the most, I never even met my grandma in the first place! What the fuck is going on?!

-What are you doing?" At the door stood a lady who looked very old, with clothes in her hands, the clothes looked very familiar.

-Yuu jumped in fright, now it looked like he had a grandmother, no, he didn't want a grandmother in the first place!

-Grandma? How dare you, I'm no grandma, unless you already got your girlfriend pregnant, insolent!- The woman turned red with anger, but Yuu was still in his world trying to think of how to get out of that body before it's too late, but then he felt himself being hit in the head.

-I'm talking to you, put on your uniform soon or else you'll clean the whole house by yourself!- Grandma left the clothes on the bed and left slamming the door, how did she have enough strength?

Yuu put on his uniform and wanted to throw himself out of the window, he was not only in the body of his enemy, he was also in school. How many grades must Daiki have repeated to stay in school? Although if you think about it, it wasn't something so difficult to happen, at least not if it was Daiki.

-Wait a minute," Yuu went back to the mirror and looked at himself in many poses. -He doesn't look any different...- Yuuki's heart started pounding, -What if.... Daiki didn't repeat nine years? But if that hadn't been the case that could mean....

-Are you ready? Go quickly or your father will be upset with both of you, hurry up!- Grandma already had Yuu outside with the backpack, Yuuki didn't want to warm up his head until he got to school and make sure of what was making him nervous.

I left the house and could identify the streets, it was not difficult to get to that school. I wanted to forget everything related to my past, I did not understand what was happening, but I was only focused on one thing, if things were the same as before .... Could it be that he was there?

I started to run until I saw the school, I stopped at the entrance but I couldn't take a step inside, I was paralyzed and felt overwhelmed, then I was aware of where I was, the school.

At school I wasn't that sociable, I was alone most of my life, until I met Akira, the person I loved the most at some point, after he left me I felt an emptiness that eventually I had to force myself to accept.

-Akira...- Yuuki started to feel a little suffocated, as other students passed by his side, Yuuki stepped back and without realizing he ended up outside the sidewalk, he turned around and was about to be hit by a yellow car, someone pushed him and they both fell to the ground.

-Hugh- I looked at the person who had pushed me and I was cold, it was Akira.

-You should be more careful, the car could have run over you! I missed that blessed face, in the school days Akira was very popular, he had a good body and a very beautiful face, a pale skin with reddish lips, but what stood out the most was his black hair and his deep blue eyes, although I denied it I used to envy my friend's beauty.

-What's wrong with you?" said the pretty eyes with his empty look, in my mouth I felt salty tears, a shiver ran down my back but before I could say anything Akira was already entering the school, there was no one around and I got up quickly to follow him.

-Akira, wait a moment," I grabbed his arm and tried to stop him so he would listen to me, he pulled his arm away and looked at me with disgust.

-What do you want?" His eyes reflected anger, during the time I spent with him I learned many things, just by seeing his little gestures it was easy for me to guess what he was thinking or feeling, he now wanted me to be out of his sight.

-I know you won't believe me but I am Yuuki from the future!" His frown deepened, he clenched his teeth and his eyes looked cold, he didn't believe me and probably wanted to hit me, I froze and when I wanted to say another word he was already at the other end, I needed to make him believe me.

I got to the classroom, but I heard laughter and I couldn't move, I just had to open the door and sit down, when I went to school they made fun of me, no matter why, there was always a reason to tease me, once they took my new shoes and smashed them, another time they stole my keys and flushed them down the toilet, I waited outside my house until five in the morning, my mom gave me her keys and for two weeks I had to get up at dawn to open the door, in short they ruined my school years, but the most ironic thing is that now I was in the body of the person who was the one who started and increased the harassment and teasing I received, Daiki.

It's very difficult for Akira to believe me, I still don't understand why I had to enter Daiki's body and not anyone else in the world, the important thing now is that I had to avoid whatever it was that would have made Akira despise me, but if I'm not even able to pass this door I'll never be able to save him.

Yuu grabbed the handle and opened the door, this time, things would be very different, he was no longer seventeen, but twenty-eight, or so he thought, what he didn't know was that when he passed that door he would enter a very long alley full of emotions and memories, that sadly, led to nowhere.
