I'm really bored and should be taking a nap...because I ended up falling asleep at 4:30AM-ish. And I woke up at seven. Anyways, I'll probably have another 2:30AM update tonight, but I haven't decided yet. I love you guys a lot.

Marco's POV
I needed to see Ellie. So I put on my hoodie, slipped on some clogs, and got into the car. It was about 10:30, and I knew that Ellie would be awake.
I knocked on Ellie's door, patiently waiting. "Just a minute!" called a panicked voice from inside the huge house. Several seconds later, she answered the door, nervously pulling on the edge of her longsleeve shirt. "Hey," she said, letting me in.
"Sean's not here?" I asked, handing her a boquet (sp?) of roses from behind my back.
"Oh, Marco, they're beautiful!" she cried, kissing me on the cheek. "Oh, Marco...you didn't have to."
I smiled at her. "I know. I wanted to." I walked in the house, taking off my shoes and leaving them on the welcome mat. "What are you up to?" I asked.
"Uhm, nothing, I guess. Just hanging around. Marco, do you want something to drink?" Ellie asked. "We have Coke, Mountain Dew, uhm some cheap beer," she offered.
"No, I'm good."

Ellie and I sat on her bed, her knee touching mine. "Look, Elle, the reason I came here was to make sure you were okay. I know you keep saying that you're alright, but it's hard to believe with the shit you go through. Ellie, are you okay?" I explained.
"No," she replied quietly, looking away.
"Ellie..." I whispered, pulling her into a hug.
She pulled away and looked at me. "Marco.. it's just -- so hard. I miss you. You're always with Paige and you left me in the dark. Haven't you noticed that I don't sit with you at lunch anymore?" she cried.
I looked at her. "I'm sorry," I choked out, before starting to cry.
"Marco, what's wrong?" Ellie asked. I could hear the pain and concern dripping from her voice. "It's okay." She stroked my hair and whisperedsweet littlenothings into my ear until I stopped crying.
When I looked up, she was smiling at me. "You're so cute when you're apologetic." She laughed and rolled her eyes.
I laughed, then kissed her.
Ellie pushed me away. "Marco, what are you doing?" she cried, tears forming in her eyes.
"I'm sorry, Elle." I got up and ran down the stairs.
