The next morning, Ellie awoke to a tapping on her window; she slowly got up and opened the window to see Double D waving outside and smiling at her "Well, I thought my Romeo would never come." she said sarcastically seeing him in the side yard between both of their houses on a ladder near her window "Come on out," Edd whispered "I want to show you something." she blushed and took his hand "Why don't you come in after, we could have breakfast and sleep in a little." Edd just sighed "I would love to." he said. Ellie soon realized something "I think the other kids will want to meet me today so this is possibly the only time I can hang out with you." she said "Don't worry, Laina, we've seen each other many times before," he said placing a hand on her chin "But it won't be our last," he placed a soft kiss on her cheek and smiled "I promise."
She took Edd's hand and climbed down the ladder to the ground without making a sound."Where are we going?" Ellie asked "You'll see" Edd replied leading her into the dark woods which were filled with trees and plants. After a few minutes of darkness, they could both see the clear sky start to emerge as he lead her to a cliff looking over the whole neighborhood "Wow, this is amazing, Double D." she said as she sat down looking at the view in silence; she didn't even notice that Edd had put his arm around her to hold her close "I always come here when I want to be alone." He whispered slowly taking his beanie off to feel the breeze blow his hair; Ellie soon leaned against his shoulder, closing her eyes and breathing slowly "There's nothing better than watching the sunrise on a nice summer morning." Edd breathed "You can say that again, Dee." she replied looking like she was going to fall asleep
"Come on," he said standing up "I should take you home before your parents get worried." he took Ellie by the hand and set off for her place. When they finally reached her house, she climbed up the ladder to the bedroom window and motioned for Edd to come up "Wow, your room looks amazing." he said "Not a single thing out of place." "Yeah, I still need to unpack a few things; but in the end, it will be all worth it." Ellie smiled "Man I'm tired." "Me too," Edd replied as Ellie climbed into her bed and fell asleep. He sat down on the edge of her bed and whispered softly "I love you." kissing her forehead in the process. Elaina then felt arms wrap around her as she fell deeper and deeper into sleep.
