I put my phone down and stare confused at the table. My niece looks at me. "Is everything ok?". I sigh. "I don't know.. He want's to meet in a couple of hours. He sounded like he was so upset.". I shake my head and get up. "I guess something happened last night when I was gone.". I grab an apple and I take a bite. "You know.. Last night they started to ask things about Alex.. Ed wanted to know why I didn't went to the police station..". I shyly say and my nieces face changes. "Listen Madison, Alex moved to America so he can't do anything to you. Just let him go.. You still think about him and all the horrible things he did to you. Can you just let it go? For me?". I smile. "Sure..". I look at my watch and sigh. "Listen I'll get ready for Ed. Gonna pack my stuff also..". She smiles and nods.
After a half an hour I get off the bed and I look in the mirror. Dark blue sneakers, some jeans and a hoodie. I walk down with my suit case and put them at the door. "Listen I'll come back to pick this up tonight. See you then ok?". I leave the house and I walk to Ed's hotel. I need to walk for like 20 minits so when I arrive at the hotel I sigh. I walk upstairs and knock on the hotel door. The door opens and Ed is standing there. He looks like he's sick. He's so pale and his eyes are red. I look worried at him and give him a big hug. "Ed.. what happened..". I want to let him go but he keeps his arms around me. "I don't know.. To be honest..". After a while he lets met go and we get down on the sofa. I kick off my shoes and look at him. "So.. Where is Liz..?". He sighs and looks at the ground. "Well, she went back to England. Last night I was a little bit drunk and uh. I guess I've said something wrong.". I look confused. "But.. What did you say?". He shakes his head and gets tears in his eyes. I put my hand on his leg and shoulder. "I don't know. But she's so pissed off.". I shake my head. "Did you called her allready?". I look at him. He shakes his head and sighs. "No.. She wanted to be left alone.".
I put my head on my hands and stare at the ground for a while. "I can call her..? If you're okay with that? I can ask what happened..". I look worried at him and he doesn't replies. "Ed I hate seeing you like this.. So if I need to call.. Just nod.". I put my hand on his shoulder and look at him. He nods and shows me the number. I call the number and sigh. After a couple of minits Liz picks up the phone. "Hello! Who is this?". She sounds pretty happy. "Hey Liz, it's Madison.. Listen what happened between you and Ed? He's so down..". I get up and walk around the room. She tells me the story and I sigh. "Listen Liz can I tell you something?". I get upset because she went home just because Ed could tell me things. "If you think it's ok, to make Ed feel like shit, just because he said he could tell me things that he can't tell you, then I'm sorry, but then you are just a jealous girl.". I see Ed staring at me. Liz doesn't replies and I sigh. "I don't want to be rude Liz, but you don't know how Ed feels right now. He looks like shit and he is so down because you've left.". I hear her sighing and after a moment of silence, she hangs up the phone. I stare at Ed and he looks worried.
"So.. What have I said?". His hand are shaking and I get down next to him. I put my hand on his hands and look in his eyes. "You were a bit tipsy last night and uh, you told her that you could talk about things with me easier then you can talk to her. That's why she left. And I really think that that is pethatic because why would you do that?!". Ed nods and sighs. "I don't want you to see you like this. So. We are going on an.. Adventure.". Ed smiles for the first time since I was her and I smile. "Come, grab a coat and put on your shoes and we'll walk around I guess.". Ed get's ready and I get a text from Liz.
"Tell Ed that he can call me if he wants. Kk.".
I shake my head and don't reply on it. When Ed comes back I grab my phone and look at him. "Lets have some fricking fun.". I chuckle and we walk outside the door. Ed puts his hat on and I giggle. "You look weird with a hat you know.". I stare at him and he shakes his head. "Oh thank you for telling me that. Too bad I don't have a choise.". He puts his hands in his pockets and we walk towards the centre of the city. "Can we buy a cup of coffee? I didn't drink anything this morning.". Ed asks and I nod. "Sure. What do you want!". We order our coffee and walk back outside. I look at Ed and smile. "So. Where do you want to go?". I ask and he takes a sip of his coffee. He looks around and walks towards the I Amsterdam sign. I giggle and he asks a guy if he could take a pic of us. I climb on top of the M and spread my arms. When the foto was taken I looked at it started to laugh. Ed zooms in on my head and I start to laugh even harder. "Charming.". He says and smiles. I get a notification of Instagram and I look at him. "You did not..". He smirks and I punch him on his arm. "Asshole! That was the worst picture of me, ever.". We walk around and puts his hat on again. I stare at him for a while and he looks at me. "What?". I smile and shake my head. "Nothing nothing.. It's just that.."
