ELLIE GASPED FOR AIR AS SHE SEARCHED FOR RICKY IN SOME OF THE ROOMS. She wished for a longer legs but unluckily all she have these two short legs. She asked Big Red whom she just bumped into where Ricky were.

"Thanks Big Red." Big Red made a look when he saw how excited and all Ellie were.

Quickly, Ellie went upstairs where Big Red instructed. As she took every step, she reminisce every moment she had with the only boy she had dell in love so madly and deeply.

The way he took her hand every time they saw each other. The way Ricky speak of how amazed he is with Ellie. How Ricky helped her to find the only thing that matters most in life.

He didn't left her when he knew there's a frown in her face. She loved him ever since he sat with her in the rooftop.

He made her mad.

"Well technically, Minnie was my second crush..."

Ellie heard Ricky's voice which made her smile grew wide. Her heart was pounding so badly.

This was it, she will push herself to her limits to bring them back. To bring him back.

But of course when it happened.

" Oh--" which made the two turn their heads wearily. Ellie's eyes met both guilty eyes.

"Sorry... uh wrong--" she couldn't even finish her sentence when she almost tripped onto something. She heard him call her name.

She couldn't believe it.

They kissed.

Her heart sunk as those two words kept continue replaying on her head.

"Ellie, let me explain." Ricky turn her and he could see her all broken and gloomy. She kept her head down.

"Is that why you break up with me, Ricky?"

"I can explain, Ellie. It was just--" Ricky groans lightly as Ellie pushed him lightly as she quickly walks away.

"Ellie, please listen to me. It's not what you think."

"Ricky, did you ever love me?" it was as if there was a lump to her throat. It scares her to ask this question, even though she knew already the answer to her face.

"Of course, Ellie." there was hurt in his expression.

" Then why did you do it?" she could feel her cheeks were now all wet.

"Answer me, Ricky. Please say that you didn't do that on purpose." she sobs and felt her heart being ripped open when he didn't utter a word.

"I spent all my days blaming myself for causing our relationship to fail. And it was you who didnt--" Ellie cried. Ricky took this chance to hug her.

"I-I'm sorry. Please, forgive me... " was all he could utter at the fragile girl in his arms. She cried so hard that made her eyes all puffy. Ellie heard someone walks in it was Zenith. He was baffled in their situation. But then he realized when Nini walks in.

"I love you Ricky... But I just... can't." when Ricky asked for forgiveness. Ricky felt as if when he let go of Ellie was literally letting their relationship go. Which scared him, seriously.

He wanted to hold her but it was her hand pulled him away. His eyes were teary watching Ellie walks away from him.
