(a song will be used in this book)

[Happier than ever by Billie Eilish]

-----------------------------------------


"So this is your so called home" Esther complained and looked around in the apartment in disgust.

"Why did you even leave home? our own mansion is much better than this" Ben mumbled and sat down in the couch.

Ellie coughed violently and pulled the blanket closer.

Jamie sighed and sat down,stroking his sister's arm lovingly.

"So you and Grace work as barmaids? useless work" Ben stated and Ellie shook her head and coughed even more.

"We should take you back home,this could be tuberculosis" Esther demanded and Jamie shook his head.

"No this is something else" Jamie said and stroke Ellie's forehead with a cold towel.

"Your a doctor Jamie,you should be able to give her a diagnosis" Ben told his son and Jamie shook his head.

"i need to do a examination but i don't have the right equipment" Jamie told his parents and hugged his sister.

"I am fine" Ellie said silently and coughed.

"No your not,you need a doctor right away" Ben said to his daughter.

"That's it! i am sending a letter to Nick,and he can bring his sister here,she is also a doctor and she has the right things to examine her" Esther said and walked off to write a letter to Nick.

"Wait..." Ellie croaked.

"That is the only way dear" Jamie told his sister and stroke her hair.

Ellie hadn't seen Nick for years.

"Me,you mother and your brother is going to go meet up with Grace,you stay here"

When everyone had walked out Ellie sighed and started to whisper the lyrics of a song for herself.

~When i'm away from you

I'm happier than ever

wish i could explain it better

I wish it wasn't true

Give me a day or two

to think of something clever

to write myself a letter

to tell me what to do

Do you read my interviews?

or do you skip my avenue?

when you said you were passing through

was i even on your way?

i knew when i asked you to [when i asked you to]

be cool about what i was telling you

you'd do the opposite of what you said you'd do

and i'd end up more afraid

don't say it isn't fair

you clearly weren't aware that you made me miserable

so if you really wanna know

when i'm away from you

i'm happier than ever

wish i could explain it better

i wish it wasn't true....

You called me again,drunk in your benz

driving home under the influence

you scared me to death but i'm wasting my breath

Cause you only listen to your f*cking [friends]

I don't relate to you

I don't relate to you,no!

cause i'd never treat me this shitty!

You made me hate this city

And i don't talk sh*t about you on the city (you on the internet is the correct lyrics but i changed it since it doesn't work with the early 1900s theme)

Never told anyone anything bad

Cause that sh*t's embarrassing

You were my everything

And all that you did was make me f*cking sad.

So don't waste the time i don't have

And don't try to make me feel bad

I could talk about every time you showed up on time 

but i'd have an empty line cause you never did

Never paid any mind to my mother or friends

so i shut them all out for you

cause i was a kid

You ruined everything good

Always said you were misunderstood

Made all my moments you own

just f*cking leave me alone~

Ellie inhaled a mouth full of air and gasped in fear when she heard clapping.

"That was impressive,who was the song for?" John asked and walked over to Ellie,sitting down in the couch with her.

"My ex" Ellie mumbled and looked down.

"Hey i just want to apologize for my brother yesterday,he had a bad day,his friend freddie passed away" John told Ellie and looked at the coffee table.

There laid a book and a tea cup was beside it.

John furrowed his eyebrows when he saw a pair of glasses,made for a female.

"Are these yours?" John asked and looked back at Ellie.

"No,they're my mother's" Ellie explained and John nodded.

"your mother is here?" John asked and Ellie nodded.

"She's with Grace and Dad and Jamie at the Garrison" Ellie said and leaned her head on John's shoulder.

"It's annoying to be with my family,well Jamie is kind but mother and father are rather horrible" Ellie said and John nodded.

"I understand" John replied

"I don't think you do"
