The next day, everyone had gathered in the charmitorium for graduation and the signing of The Storybook of Legends.
"Is she really not coming?" thought Milton while looking around for Elenor but not seeing her in the crowd of students.
"Milton Grimm," said Headmistress White from the stand. This got Milton to stop searching and to head onto the stage. Once on the stage he stood before the Storybook which opened up.
"If I go through with this then I could lose her forever," thought Milton as his destiny flashed before him before the quill pen appeared
"But if I don't," he thought while noticing his father sitting with the other parents. The expression that the older Grimm was making could have stopped a bear in its tracks, it was so dark. He then reached out and took the quill pen to sign the book without any sign of hesitation. Once he was back in his seat, Milton took the letter from Elenor out of his pocket.
"I wonder how much she hates me," he thought as the seal on the envelope broke, allowing him to bring out the paper inside.
"Dear Milton, I knew you would choose to sign your destiny today, so as you are reading this I have already left Ever After High as I knew graduation would be the best time to do so," thought Milton as he read the letter.
"I'm also sorry for two things, the first being yesterday when I blew up on you, everyone is allowed to have their own beliefs and I hurt yours, and the last one is that I never got to tell you...," thought Milton as Giles sat down next to him.
"Hey, what's wrong brother?" asked Giles as he realized that Milton was crying while staring at the letter with a shocked expression. Without a word Milton got up and ran out of there with the whole room watching.
"Guess he read the letter," said Gem. A few minutes later, Milton had run into Elenor's room.
"I'm too late," said Milton as he walked further in to see one side of the room was empty, not a single thing was left.
"What are you doing here, boy?" asked Mr. Grimm from the doorway. He had followed Milton all the way there from the charmatorium and looked even more angered than before if that was even possible.
