"Oh, c'mon Ellie! Noah is just being a dick!" Noah gave Folio a defeated look as he called out for me. I was storming away. That was the last time I would see Nick and Noah, or so I thought.

My name is Elizabeth Garris, but most people call me Ellie. I'm 5'8" with bright blue eyes and light brown hair. I love music and animals, and I hate people. I am currently visiting my friends Noah and Nick, who we refer to as Folio, in Richmond, Virginia. I live in Kentucky which is about 9 hours away from them. I am here with my brother Bryan. Bryan, Noah and Nick met through doing small local tours with their bands they recently started. With my brother and I so close, I have also become good friends with the guys who now call themselves Bad Omens.

"No, I'm done with this bullshit. Noah has been nothing but rude to me this whole time so I'm going home." I felt disappointed and disrespected thanks to Noah. He has been such a jerk and I am done with it.

"Are you ready to go, sis?" I nod at Bryan. "Get me the fuck out of here." I huffed as I jumped into our sedan. Bryan shut the door behind me and I observed as he said bye to the guys. I scoffed. Bryan is always so levelheaded and sometimes it pisses me off, well, because I am not. Him and I really even each other out.

"How can you be so nice to him after he did that?" I grumbled as soon as Bryan hopped in the driver's seat, buckling up and searching through Spotify. "The guy doesn't have a problem with me, Ellie. I don't know what you two started, but I am not getting in the middle." My eyes grew wide. "Me?! I didn't do anything!" I spat and he narrowed his eyes at me. Bry knows just how stubborn I am, and how stubborn Noah is.

I shifted my body more towards the window and rested my head in my head to try to enjoy the drive. Bryan turned down the music. "Ellie, what did happen back there?" I rolled my eyes and turned the music back up. Clearly I don't want to talk about it.

I opened my journal and started writing.

I wrote a song about getting better
It's a feeling I can't remember
