Rays of sunlight filled the forest. As Shelly and Ellie were still asleep. Then Ellie first woke up.

Yawnn! Ellie shouted.

Who yells yawn instead of yawning?
Shelly chuckled

Well I do and you can do nothing about it. Ellie's face looking smug

All right let's not stay here for too long... we need to look for food. Shelly then stood up and pack his remaining things to his backpack..

All right! With that Shelly and Ellie continued to walk in the forest.

Now that we're all alone.. Ellie looked at Shelly.

What do you mean by that Ellie? Shelly looked confused.

I want to ask more questions about you! Ellie looked at Shelly while her smile reaching from dimple to dimple.

She's really cute when her dimples show when she smiles... Shelly thought to himself.

Sure sure why not? Shelly scratched his hair.

All right! What is your full name? Your age? And the most valuable thing in the world.

This is a lot... Shelly sighed in his thoughts.

My full name is Shelly Mcbrigen.

Suprisingly Ellie bursts out laughing!

Ahahahahahahahahah. Ellie laughed

What's so funny... I looked at her.

I'm sorry but your name reminds me of something. Ahahahahaha. Ellie continued to laugh.

Jeez... But at least she is happy... Shelly thought.

And I'm 12.

Wow you're older I'm 10 by the way.. Ellie exclaimed.

Well... That explains her attitude. Shelly sighed.

All right these questions are so many! Shelly sighed.

Don't forget about the last one! What is the most valuable thing in the world.

Hm... I'm out of answers. I dont know If I could answer that. Shelly chuckled.

Ellie looked at Shelly in huge disbelief.
Not even your parents? Or friends? Or relatives of yours? Even pets?!

No...but there is one that is more valuable to me...

Then we stopped walking for a minute.

What is it? Ellie turned with eyes that needed the answer for some reason...

The most valuable thing in the world is love. Love is more valuable than diamonds.. It lasts long and the connection between you and that person is stronger and the bonds you do together, fights and arguments, still deep inside you love each other.

She's just looking at me... But I don't want to look away. Her pretty eyes deserve to be looked at...

Woah that is actually a cool explanation. You could be a poet!

I don't think she knows what a poet is..
Shelly sighed.

If only she knew... Maybe she would understand...

Shelly's Pov

I grew up alone.
My parents were both doctors.
I enjoyed all they gave.
Money, toys, food.
But...
They have never given me love.
That's all I wanted to feel..
From them.
At least.
My teacher always said that..
We should always love our parents.
But what if they don't love me?

But..
I have friends..
But they are probably using me for my money.
Just acting kind.... For something.

I'm stuck in this.
Infinite loop.
I feel the same thing everyday.

Why can't they give time for me...

But then everything changed.
When I met her...
This hollow heart.
Became flesh.
I felt what love is.
She is like me..
So I have to give her the love she needs.
If I can't have it.
I at least could give it.
So Ellie...
Wish you'd knew...
That I would even die for you.
