Because so many of you didn't like the ending, here is the SAME ENDING, but with the words I implied to be said. I hope you like it better.

It was dawn when Marie opened her eyes. She couldn't sleep any longer no matter how she needed it. The sunlight was coming from a space between the two thick curtains in front of the window next to her. The room was dark gray, so was Rolf's bed. She could hear footsteps outside his bedroom door. As she stand up the bed squealed. She sat down again looking at the door and the light it was coming under it. After a few minutes Rolf entered, and squeezed her in his safe warm hug.

She was still confused from the night before. Her heart was broken once more. And Rolf was there, always there to pick her up and help her calm. He was always there as Double D should be. How simple things would be if she loved Rolf the way he did. How happier would she be if her heart didn't break every time the Edd she loved…

Marie stopped her thoughts. She couldn't any more. And she didn't love Rolf so all this was just a huge mistake for him, a huge painful mistake for him. So she pushed Rolf away and stayed still looking at him with a small smile on her lips. She was trying to say thank you, but she knew he already know.

But his expression wasn't exactly calm. She remembered last night. Rolf should be confused, even she was. She didn't have the time to think straight. Her emotions hadn't let her. But now, in the dawn of a new day, with her head clear, even if her heart was not, she couldn't understand what had happened.

Then Rolf started talking. Telling her all the things he did after she fell asleep. He told her what he listened and what her sisters had done. Then he said about Double D.

She got angry for a second with her sisters but she actually felt relieved. She even felt happy. Everything started to make sense.

"And now?" Marie said "What do I do now?"

"Whatever you want."

"You've been a good friend Rolf. What do you think I should do?"

"I think that even the Edd boy had been stupid, he had grown some brain under his hat and he is finally ready for you."

"But I" Marie started to say.

"You and I both know that you won't be happy without him."

She smiled and hugged him one more time. She hugged him tight. He smiled. He was relieved. Then he left his room as slowly as he had entered it. Knowing his loved one had find happiness even without him.

Marie stared at the floor trying to think and calm herself. The door opened once again, someone entered and closed it behind him. It was Double D. There was enough light in the room to recognize his face. He was afraid. He sat right next to her on the bed and looked her in the eyes trying to think what to say next. Marie tried to convince herself that he was actually there.

Double D knew he loved her true. But would she forgive him for all the things he had done. For all the pain he had caused her. If he did he would spent all his life trying to make things right. Still it wouldn't be enough. But at least it wasn't something to look forward. Her love and her smile were all that he would ever need. And this was his last chance of happiness.

He loved her and she loved him but, there was a "but" that she didn't remember. He had hurt her. And she loved him. He had broken her heart. But she had given it to him, and it was still his. All the past didn't matter anymore. Why would it. She would be happy at last. They could be together in love at last. Why would anything else matter? Why to waste another minute apart.

Double D tried to say something but as soon as the letter "I" was barely said she jumped into his arms and kissed him. Her lips pressed his violently, as nothing was enough. She could feel her heart biting louder than ever against his chest. She leaned back again and wiped the tears from her cheekbones. She was happy. He looked at her with a smile on his face and kissed her again gently. He stopped and finally said "I love you.". He didn't wait for response; he knew she loved him, so he just kissed her again. They were together now and this was their happy ending.

The end.

After the end.

Double D did go to college far away and Marie stayed here but somehow they managed to make it work.

Marie and Rolf stayed best friends. After few years Rolf met a girl from his home town that he loved and she loved him in the same way.

Eddy and Sarah was a really weird couple that kept fighting over and over again and loving each other more after every fight.

Kevin learned what Nazz did and forgave her. She loved him for that.

The rest characters I am living them in your imagination as the rest of the story.

Marie and Double D still love each other.

The end…

Better now? The story is the same, the ending is the same, but with some more words, and their feelings that I had left in mine and yours imagination. And as I said, Love is enough for fiction.

Anyway I hope you'll write your final review for this story, even it is a bad review.

Thanks for reading it. I am gonna miss you. Goodbye!
