The Fire, The Flame Nothing lasts forever.. I found that out the hard way.. Leaving my job in the Fire Department, volunteering in Paleto - Was, despite it making sense at the time. Was, in the end the worst decision I ever made. I lost it all - Nicole..Kaiya, my twins, my home in Paleto, my dream job, my purpose. I felt like I had nothing to live for. I spent the next couple of months walking the streets of Los Santos when I moved back to the city, I considered moving back to Norway. But, I knew even being back with Ava, Marcus and my family, it would never fix the eternal hole in my heart. Everyone in the department seemed to forget about me slowly and I felt like I was alone in a world I seemingly no longer knew where I belonged. That's when Aurum came knocking on my door - Somehow, through my wandering, I became acquainted with Doctor Emily Whitman, the Chief Operations Officer - She recognised me from that one time my best friend John had taken me on Los Santos News Network, she wanted to eagerly work with me. Me, a new job, in a corporate. Seemingly devoting myself to one passion I had come to love - Public Relations, the only way I could maintain that servitude I had always been endeared with since I was nineteen. Over that summer, I met a kid called Ellie - Later becoming acquainted with her father Rico, we became like blood brothers, him, his own brother, his wife and his daughter - We bonded over our Norwegian roots. Rico hailing from Norway himself, I hadn't felt such a connection since Ava left and, suddenly I didn't feel alone. Along with the new friends I made with Aurum, I felt like I belonged somewhere - I felt Wanted. I went from not knowing my place in the world, to going through several relationships, connecting with old friends and continuing to make new ones - I made Marketing Manager with Aurum and people began to look up to me, I was still being recognised from my work with the Fire Department, which felt weird - Despite my efforts to distance myself from my old self. Though, any friend I made, including my girlfriend at the time - Louise, would hear the stories of my days as a Lifeguard, my sister Lilith and my days in Paleto. No matter how much I tried. Ellie also came into the picture more, my niece. Returning from university, she became my intern. I felt proud that, like my job before, I could mentor someone. and have a purpose in someones life. Several months on...I found myself giving up Aurum after nearly two years, where did I go? Well, things ended up coming full circle, nowadays, I work for San Fire - Fire Marshals again, maybe in a smaller capacity as Public Relations. But, I was fufilling my original 'destiny' again as my therapist always told me. Serving the members of Los Santos, who knows what the future holds. But, I know, even now - I'll be accompanied by my family, blood isn't always family as I found over the years, it's the people you want in your life... and hey, now I've even got Kaida, the best person in the world along for the ride.. Version One: Version 2: This Thread will follow the development of Alex Jorgensen, an ex-Firefighter, ex-Fire Marshal and now Semi-retired Citizen in a city, he feels he doesn't fit into.
