As Ellie ran off to the bathroom, Dina was left standing there embarrassed that people were watching them, but most importantly, she was worried about Ellie.
To her, Ellie was more than just the cure for mankind or a best friend... Ellie was her partner in crime... Her crush... Her everything!
Dina's POV:
I frantically ran toward the girls bathroom, but couldn't hear anything through the door because the music had gotten louder.
I tried to open the door, and I could hear Ellie yell, "Whoever is out there, please go away!" I could tell she was still crying. I finally opened the door, and I saw Ellie sitting on the floor, drenched in sweat from being nervous, and her face was flooded with tears from crying. I sat on the floor beside her, and gave her a long, comforting hug. She cried harder, and said, "I'm sorry for kissing you. You must hate me!" I smiled, and picked her chin up with my finger so she was facing me, "Of course I don't hate you. Ellie... You're a lot more than just the cure for mankind. You're beautiful, brave, intelligent, funny, and really cute... And that's why I kissed you back... I love you, Ellie. I'm in love with you!" I replied.
She finally stopped crying, "You're in love with me?", she asked, "Very", I replied. She suddenly grabbed my hand, and interlocked our fingers. She sniffled, "That's why I ran off crying. I was too scared to admit I loved you". She said, "You have no need to be scared about telling me anything, Ellie. No matter what happens, you'll always be the Ellie I love!" I replied.
She hugged me tighter, and asked, "Really?", I nodded, "Really", I said. She smiled, "So... Are we together now?", she asked me, "Only if that's what you want". I replied. She slowly started to lean in, and kissed me again, "Of course I want that. You're all I need to make me truly happy". She replied, smiling again. I got lost in my thoughts, "G*d... I love that I make her smile like that!" We stood up, our fingers were still interlocked, "Wanna go dance again, or go to the roof?", I asked her, "It doesn't matter where we go as long as I'm with you". She replied, I smiled, and we finally left the girls bathroom.
