After I got the permission from Steve that I could open the box I didn't hesitate for long.
I opened the box and found a lot of photos in the box. I think they all hung on a wall because they are all framed in a picture frame.
"I think these are all old pictures." I reached into the box and took out one of the many pictures. I wiped the dust off the picture with the palm of my hand and couldn't help but scream.
"Are you OK Alex?" Steve was completely shocked by the fact that I screamed which I am really sorry about because it is nothing bad, just the joy that came over me.
"These are all photos. They must be photos from all the different parties we had Steve! I thought the photos were gone!"
On the photo I'm holding in my hand you can see the summer festival. The summer festival was one of the best festivals ever. More than 30 people came to the Jane at the summer festival. At the summer festival we all celebrated in the garden because it was way too warm in the building. The summer festival is on the day the Jane opened. When the summer festival is over, we promise each other that we will continue to care for Jane as we have always done. Of course there is also a lot of drinks and food on that day.
The summer festival is also one of the days that I will remember most. Why are you wondering? Well, that day I felt strange lips on my lips for the first time. For those who still don't understand what I mean by that, here is the short version: That day I kissed someone for the first time.
I was so happy that I had to tell my friends about it right away. You are probably thinking to yourselves by now how one can be so happy about just one kiss.
Well I'm not the most famous person. I myself sometimes refer to myself as "The Invisible One" because many people do not notice me. This is mainly because I never really talk. I would rather think than talk. But I've already told you that.
"The summer festival has always been great".
"Alex you can still remember when you almost burned the building down? "
"Oh god please don't remind me."
"Oh, I'll remind you of this until I'm dead."
"Have mercy on me Steve."
OK I admit it. I almost burned down the Jane. And that's only because I threw away a 'lit' match.

Me and Steve looked at several pictures together. It was really smart that we always took a picture at the end. Steve sat down next to me after a while to look at the pictures with me.
"OK that's the penultimate picture Steve. We'll look at the other Pictures an other day." I said to him while pulling out another picture with my right hand. However, this was not as dusty as the others so that you could see the picture directly.
"That should be the night we had a sleepover in the Jane. That was one year ago." I said.
"Didn't you spend an hour in the toilet?" Steve asked me.
"Maybe I spent an hour in the toilet watching videos on my phone."
We've been looking for you everywhere. We were worried and wanted to call the police. "
"Oh, I didn't mean to. Sorry Steve." I said and had to start laughing even more.
"OK let's look at the last picture for today Steve."
I reached into the box again and took out the last picture. I turned it over and saw several people looking into the camera and smiling. In the picture were Steve, Me, Claire, Tyler, Brian, a couple of other kids whose names I didn't know. And there was ..... Sam ...
Sam 'was' also one of our friends..... He was very nice and always took care of us if one of us was not doing well. However, he was murdered a year ago. He was killed by 12 stab wounds. We all miss him very much....
"Sam ..."
"Sam was a very good person. He couldn't see other people suffer." said Steve.
"Yes he was.. Come on let's clear the rest of the boxes.
We cleared away the rest of the boxes and then made our way back upstairs.
