Emily awoke with a startle "Emily!" Her friends shouted. She picked up her head at the sound of Carl's truck. She looked around.

"Mmm... what?" Emily asked, sitting up. "Let me be." She said, laying back down, her head hitting against the rocks and dust.

"Emily..." Rosalie said with a grin.

"Someone... is here for you." Carl finished. She opened her eyes and looked at them with a confused face.

"What?" She asked, rubbing her eyes. "Teddy?" She said sitting up. "I was hallucinating or something last night. I thought I heard him." She said as she looked at them.

"Emily... I think you should see something." Carl said. Emily nodded and stood up, shaking a bit. "You OK?" Carl asked. Emily stared at her.

"I was hallucinating and I passed us on the rocks. I also got the message from Ed last night. Anything but alright." Emily said handing them her phone. They listened to her message.

"That's intense," Rosalie said.

"Yeah, I know," Emily replied as she ran her hand through her messy, bright red hair.

They took her hand and took her to a different place. "What?" She moaned as they took her into the street.

"We found you lying in the street. We thought you were murdered. This will cheer us up. And you." Carl replied. She sighed.

"Fine." She groaned.

"You look like a slob," Carl told her. Emily scowled.

"You thought I was murdered. What are the odds?"

They brought her into the street. "Wait here," Rosalie said, rushing off with Carl. "Everything ready?" Rosalie asked Ed as she reached an area where he was singing. People surrounded him. It was a lot of the population since most people were on vacation.

"I've been ready for an hour. Where was she?" Ed asked.

"We found her passed out on the street in front of her house. I thought she was murdered. She was hallucinating after you called her." Carl said. Ed nodded slowly.

"Um... alright." He said strangely. "Got it." He replied. "I just want her to hear it." He said nodding. They nodded back.

They raced off and got Emily, and she finally laid eyes on him and his guitar. She looked in shock at him.

"I'm gonna pick up the pieces, and build a Lego house. When things go wrong we can knock it down. My three words have two meanings. There's one thing on my mind, it's all for you." She looked at him with love almost. Her eyes gleamed.

"Teddy." She murmured. 

"And it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm, and if you're broken I'll mend ya, and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now. I'm out of touch, I'm out of love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down. And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time. And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now" Emily stared at him sadly.

"I'm gonna paint you by numbers and color you in, if things go right we can frame it, and put you on a wall. And it's so hard to say it but I've been here before, and I'll surrender up my heart and swap it for yours." Emily stared at him and gulped. 

"I'm so sorry." She muttered.

"I'm out of touch, I'm out of love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down, and out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now. I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time. And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now.

"Don't hold me down. I think my braces are breaking, and it's more than I can take. And if it's dark in a cold December, but I've got ya to keep me warm. And if you're broken I'll mend ya, and keep you sheltered from the storm that's raging on now. I'm out of touch, I'm out of love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down. And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now! I'm out of sight, I'm out of mind, I'll do it all for you in time. And out of all these things I've done, I think I love you better now." Emily's eyes became watery. He sang with memory and emotion. She suddenly remembered everything she had been through with him. How much she loved him. Really loved him. 

"I'm out of touch, I'm out of love, I'll pick you up when you're getting down. And out of all these things I've done, I'll love you better now." Ed stopped and looked at her, the rest of the people doing the same. 

All the eyes laid on, and she didn't feel pressured like she normally would've. Out of all the people looking at her, her eyes laid on Ed, and his messy red hair. 

"I, um... I flew into a city last night. I called Rosalie and asked her to pick me up so I could see you. On the plane and I found a lego in my jacket. It was one of yours. I knew it because you always had ones in red instead of any color until we got some together. It reminded me of that time we built a lego house and it fell off the shelf right in front of us, and we just laughed it off." Ed spoke, looking down.

"But I had to see you again. I miss him too... but I missed you more, almost. Emily... you're the love of my life. I want every split second with you because you mean to world to me. And I hate being away from you. And I missed you, and I wished you would've stayed. We could've worked it out easier. But I am so happy that you came here. So I could come to you. And I could know what it was like to be away.

"The album is almost done, and once it's sold... I'll be touring. And I'll have to be away from you sometimes. But I don't want to. I want to be with you. Just you. I want you to tour with me."

She walked to him and wrapped her arms, around him, hugging him tightly. "I love you, Ed." She muttered under her breath, though everyone heard. 

"I love you too." He replied. She unwrapped her arms around him and kissed his face lightly, tears falling down her face. 

"I missed you." She said softly. 

"I missed you too, Emily. I missed you too."  He said as he cradled her face in his hands. "Never leave me again." He said to her. She closed her eyes and nodded.

 "Never." She replied shaking her head and smiling, chuckling. "I won't go again." She murmured softly and sweetly to him. He smiled and put his head against hers. She smiled and sniffed. 

"I love you, Teddy."

"I love you, Emily."
