How you fell in Love - Edmund x OC

Chapter Nine

Two months fly by and it's your last week.

"Can't you stay here?" Ed asked you for the millionth time.

"You know I can't, Edmund." you sigh. "You're making this difficult for me."

You soon head over for breakfast where everyone was talking and laughing.

"So?  Did Ed manage to convince you to stay?" Susan laughed.

"He didn't.'' you laughed.

"And you're most definitely are not." James glared at you, "I'm not staying in Arylia without you!"

"Of course. Plus since the people don't know about Ed and I, it would be too suspicious if I stayed." you agreed.

"Well, we can always tell them." Ed suggested.

"You should give it some time. Don't rush things." Al suggested.

Peter nodded in agreement.

Soon the breakfast was over and you went on with your daily routine which consisted of you exploring or talking with James or Lucy.
----

When you returned in the evening after dinner to your room, Ed was sitting on the bed as if waiting for someone.

"Hi." you greeted.

"Hey! You're here!  I want to show you something!  Follow me!" his eyes shone with excitement.

"Alright." you agree and follow.

He takes you through various passages and staircases. You finally arrive to a terrace sort of thing.

"I thought the stars look beautiful today. There isn't a better place in Narnia to watch them." he smiled at you.

You look up and you were awestruck by how amazing it looked. Millions of tiny dots shining. It looked so beautiful, you didn't want to take your eyes off then.

"They look incredible indeed." You smile.

You both just admire the stars for a while, trying to name them or find constellations.

But soon you had to go and sleep.

----

You're leaving tomorrow. As much as you hated leaving Narnia and your friends behind, it's necessary that you return.

"Sigh, Adara, think again. Can't you stay?" Ed asks, sitting on the bed as you pack.

"Ed, you know I can't. I'll write to you." you sigh.

"But you're going. Writing to me won't be the same." he pouted.

You pinch his cheeks and laugh, "I know Ed. But I can't help it."

"Do you need any help?" he asks and you refuse.

Just then, someone knocks the door. Ed opens it.

You continue packing as James walks in along with Ed.

"Hey!" he waves. "Ready?"

"Almost!" you reply. "You?"

"Done!" he smiles, then looks at Ed. "Don't worry, Edmund. I'll take good care of your girlfriend."
