6. A letter for her

Hey guys, missed me? I know it's been a month since I last updated this story but I really wanted to make this chapter as perfect as possible. It is time to reveal Double D's plan! I am placing you two weeks after the day that Double D said he would assist Eddy. And yeah as you can see by the title it has something to do with a letter. I hope I haven't revealed too much information.

.

One whole week had passed since school was over and all the kids of the cul-de-sac were still pretty excited with their summer vacations. Not many things had changed. Marie was getting every day colder and colder with Rolf. They weren't fighting but all their passion had evaporated and nothing special had left between to hold them together in the same way as before. At least from Marie's side it was comprehensible that she didn't love him.

As about Double D and Sarah, well they weren't talking much to each other. Just the typical "Hello", "How are you?" and "Goodbye.". Two days after Double D talked with Eddy he made clear to Sarah that it wasn't going to work between them. Approximately Sarah took it very well, like she didn't care much or, more correctly like she didn't care at all.

And life goes on in Peach Greek.

Sarah was sitting home and watching TV. It was too hot that morning to go outside for any reason at all. She was watching a monotonous movie when the doorbell rang. She yelled at Ed to open the door, since she was feeling too bored to get up and open it by herself even if she was closer to the door than Ed could possibly be. But Ed wasn't coming and the doorbell rang for the second time. She remembered then that her brother had gone swimming to the river near the blind alley, probably with the two other Ed's. So she got off her comfortable couch and moved towards the door.

For her surprise it was Double D. She didn't expect him, but she didn't feel anything about him anymore, so she was very calm when she saw him, standing on the door in front of her. It was a very silly mistake and from her side to think that she truly liked him. Actually that thought had been in her head since they were just children. She did actually like him back then. And that made her believe that she still did. But obviously that was just a mistake. Many things had changed since then and both of them had grown up a lot.

Double D didn't say much. He was also very calm. In his one hand he was holding a folder very carefully. He hesitated for a bit, but after a while he gave it to her. It was a letter. Double D said that it was from a friend of his who had asked him to deliver it to her because he was too shy to do it by himself. Double D also asked Sarah to read it carefully and not to publish the information of the letter to anyone. He didn't know what the letter was about, but he had been asked to remain a secret. After he handled the letter and told her these things Double D left, probably to meet the other two Eds.

Sarah went back to her room. She was dying from curiosity. She wanted to see what the letter was about. And more important who had send it to her.

Before she opened it she reached a smell. Sometimes letters can smell exactly like the person who writes them. I don't mean the stink, but the body perfume that everybody has and it is as unique as we are. It can be capture in the letter while we are writing it and that gives it a personal tone. That had happened and with that letter. No, it didn't smell like Double D, but that scent was reminding her someone, someone that she really liked. Because before she could see his name a wide smile covered her face.

She opened it carefully. The letter was very watchfully written. The person who had written it had an awful handwrite, however he had tried his best to make it presentable. It was very obvious how much this letter meant to the person that had written it. She started reading carefully.

'To Sarah

Hey. You're probably wandering why someone would write a letter nowadays. Well I couldn't say that in front of you so I wrote you this letter to tell you all the things I wanted but couldn't. Don't ask why I couldn't. Maybe I was too afraid. Maybe I don't have enough courage. As about Double D, he is just the delivery guy. Don't blame him for what you are going to read. And please don't through this letter away. At least not before you read it. It means a lot to me even if for you all the things that you'll read will be just nonsense.

Look Sarah, I am trying to tell you that I like you. No, I don't just like you. Like is a very small emotion compare to what I feel about you. I don't like you. I love you. I love you with every way I could possibly ever love somebody. With the only way I could ever love somebody. I love you with my mind and my soul. You are the first thing that comes into my mind when I wake up in the morning. And that thought follows me all day till I go back to sleep again. But even in my sleep I dream only about you. You and your beautiful long hair, your deep green eyes and your red lips that make mine look empty. And all they desire is yours to fill that empty space. I can't stop thinking of how much I love you. Even if I sometimes force my brain to stop my heart is beating just for you. I can't change that fact. And I can't change the reality because as long as I live I'll love you. Sarah, I love you.

You most likely be laughing right now with all that stuff you are reading. But I don't care. No, that's a lie. I do care, but I wanted you to know how I feel about you even if you'll never feel the same about me. If you want, now that you know all the truth, I will be waiting you at the hill near the river, tonight. We can talk there, just the two of us, and I will answer to any questions you might have. Please come. Even for throwing this letter to my face. I just want to know how you feel. And I need you to know that my heart is and will always be yours.

Please don't close your eyes up on me

Eddy.'

Sarah closed the letter. She lied on her bed for a while with her eyes closed. She opened the letter again and read every word carefully. She had a lot of thinking to do. She didn't know what to decide. Eddy was making her feel something that Double D never did and never would. He was making her feel strange but in a nice, warmly way. Every time she was seeing him lately he was very kind with her. And he had grown up a lot since they were just kids. He was sixteen and she was fifteen now. They were both enough mature to talk seriously. They weren't just eleven year old kids that had nothing better to do than to fight and yell to each other with every excuse.

Sarah didn't get up from her bed for the rest of the day. Even when Ed came back home she didn't bother to get off her bed. She wanted to be alone to think. Should she go? It was just Eddy for cry out loud. She had faced him innumerable times. She knew him well enough to know that his middle name was Skipper. She had laughed a lot when she learned that. But now for the first time she was feeling afraid. Afraid that all these were just a prank. But it couldn't be just a joke. She had to go and meet him if she wanted all her questions to be answered, but she still wasn't sure. Should she go?

The time was nine o'clock. Outside darkness and silence. Even if it was summer at night the temperature was a lot lower than it was during the day. A cold breeze blew at the hill where a shady figure was standing and made his heart froze. He was walking up and down the hill, again and again, anxiously, shivering like the leaves in front of the cruel autumn. It was Eddy. He was looking very nervous. You could see the agony on his face and all over his body. He sat down for a minute. He looked at the deep blue river in front of him. So cold. So alone…

"It was dumb of me. She won't come." He said but no one heard him. However he didn't leave from his spot. He preferred to wait in his torture than to leave when there was a small change she would come.

He placed his forehead on his knees. He tried to wipe the tears from his dark black eyes, which were actually glowing in all their darkness. He couldn't admit to himself his tears. He was feeling his world collapsing under his feet. Alone he stayed there for a bit longer. Even if he was feeling hopeless, deep inside him he really thought that she would come any minute now.

He looked at his watch. The time was thirty past nine. She wouldn't come. He looked down and let a big deep breath out. He was holding it inside him for too long.

He concentrated his thought as much as he could. The conclusion was one. « She won't come. »

A familiar voice made him stood up. A dark shadow was standing in front of him. No, it wasn't a shadow. It was a person. She was coming closer and closer to him until the moon revealed her face.

"Sarah?" He asked trying to stay calm. Was she there for real or it was just an illusion, a creation of his own mind in an effort to please his heart.

"Hello Eddy." Sarah said softly.

"I can't believe you actually came." Eddy said with a wide smile on his face. She was there for real.

"Well it is a bit cold out here, but I came."

Eddy noticed that she wasn't wearing anything on top of her shirt. He went close to her and he unbuttoned his jacket.

"Here take my jacket." He said.

He took his jacket off him and placed it on her naked shoulders. He was so close to her right now. She was standing between his hands and was looking deep into his eyes. Sarah tried to close the higher button of the jacket so it wouldn't fall. But she ended up to touching Eddy's hand, which was still holding the jacket on her shoulder. Eddy hadn't stopped looking deep in her eyes, even for a second. He was staying close to her.

"Are you feeling better now?" Eddy asked and took a step back removing his hands off her.

"Yes, never felt better." She said and she sat down on the grass which was covering the little hill.

Eddy sat next to her. There was a beautiful smell in the atmosphere. The small river was making a gorgeous peaceful music which was spreading all over the place. They both looked up. The sky was full with billions of little stars sparking softly over their heads. They lied back on the grass and keep staring them. The whole scene was so romantic. So perfect. « As Sarah is. » Thought Eddy.

"Sarah, why did you come?"

He was afraid that this question would make her leave. She didn't reply for a while. Eddy kept staring her every move. If she did leave he wouldn't forgive himself.

"I think you know." She finally said.

They stayed lied down staring at the stars. Eddy's hand touched Sarah's which was standing all alone next to his. He held it timidly. Her skin was so soft. He was afraid about how she would react. He didn't want to make any rash moves and spoilt it all. He just wanted to feel her near him.

He turned his body sideways so he could have a better view of her. She was so pretty after all. The way the moon was making her face glow. The way her wide green eyes were looking at the bottomless sky. Even the perfume of her body was like a spell that could charm him for ever, so he would never stop loving her.

Sarah noticed that Eddy wasn't looking any more at the sky, but her. She followed his lead and started also looking at him. He was smiling so kindly. His deep black eyes were the only thing that could made her paralyze any minute they wanted. Every sense of her body wanted to be near him, to feel warm and safe in his arms.

"Why aren't you looking at that beautiful sky Eddy?"

"Because when all the beauty of the world is standing in front of me, how I can look at any other direction."

Sarah blushed. Eddy tried to come even closer to her. So did she. He put his hands around her waist and dragged her nearer him. He was holding her tight. She placed her hands around his neck. The big moment had come. Eddy wanted so badly to kiss her. He wanted to feel, to taste, to cover his lips with hers. Sarah was hopping he would. She kept staring him. They came closer, closer that they've ever been. The space between their lips was less than half inch. Lied there on the hill they kissed gently. That was the first kiss they had ever had with such passion. It was a kiss made of true love.

"Sarah, I love you." Said Eddy removing his lips from hers just for a second.

"Eddy, I love you too." Said Sarah and they kissed again.

They stayed like this, on the small hill under the open sky, for countless hours. They were alone into the universe, but together into their hearts, which were combined now and they were beating as one.

.

What do you think? I would really like to hear your opinion on this chapter cause is one of my favorites so far. It was clear that Sarah wouldn't be happy with Double D, because he is too much in love with Marie. But on the other hand Eddy loves Sarah. So if she deserves to be with someone, that someone should be Eddy. Don't you agree? I just want you to know that Double D only gave Eddy the idea of the letter and he delivered it. Every word inside this letter was written by Eddy's heart! Well in the next chapter we are going to deal again with Double D's situation. Until then I hope you enjoyed this chapter about Sarah and Eddy! 3

Thanks for all the reviews!
