(Ella's P.O.V.)

"Ella! Come down here please." My father yells from the bottom of the stairs to me. I pause my recording, close my song book, and I walk out of my room and down the stairs.

"What's up dad?" I say looking at him sitting down next to the girl he'd been with for maybe a year now. They were holding hands and smiling.

"Please sit down." My dad said gesturing to the lounge chair in the living room that faced towardthe couch. I listen to him, and sit down.

"Alright what's going on?" I say looking at them both feeling like I already know what they're gonna say. They're probably gonna look at each other with a smile then look back at me, and say together the words "we're engaged", and I'm going to pretend to be happy for them, yet in reality I'm dying inside.

"Well." My dad said looking at his probably fiance, and they smile at each other. They look at me and both say we're engaged. I wanted to walk out of the house.

"Really." I say trying to sound as excited as I can. "I'm so happy for you guys. When are you gonna have the wedding?" I can be pretty convincing when I want to.

"Sometime next month we're not too sure yet." The girl said sounding excited. Her name by the way is Taylor. She's blond with green eyes and has been married I think four times now. She cheated on all the other guys. They didn't have kids already though so they should've known it was coming. I beat her if I have to so that she doesn't break my dad's heart.

"Well I'm happy for you guys. I think I'm gonna go for a walk is that alright dad?" I ask looking at him.

"Yes just bring your phone with you, and stay out of trouble."

"Okay. Thanks." I get up and walk up stairs to get my phone. I grab if off the charger and take my headphones with me. I plug in my headphones, and start to play a song. It was Mad hatter by: Melanie Martinez. I walked out of the house, and closed the door behind me I put the playlist on repeat before continuing to walk along the sidewalk listening to my playlist when a car drove by and slows down beside me. I pause the song I'm listening to and look beside me. I scream excited, and get into the car.

"Hi" I say excitedly to see my best friend.

"Hey, what's up." He says hugging me.

"Nothing really. Same old same old I guess." I say hugging him back.

"I heard that your old man found someone to marry. Is it true?" He says pulling away, and starting to drive.

"Yeah. Sadly." I say buckling my seatbelt.

"Sadly? Isn't that what you wanted? For him to be happy?"

"Well yeah of course, but he's dating someone who's been married four times counting this one, and all the other three the man divorced her because she cheated on him. Not only that but they were all rich. Just like my father."

"That stinks. You wanna go to my place?"

"Well since we're almost there why the heck not right?"

"Right. We'll talk about random stuff when we get there."

"Alright. Sounds good to me."

"Alright." We drive in silence to his house. We pool into the driveway of his parents house. He parked the car, and we got out. We walked to his front door, and I walked in. "Mom I'm back." Andrew said closing the door behind him.

"In the kitchen!" She yelled back trying to project her voice. We walked into the kitchen to find his mom sitting at the middle island drinking an alcoholic beverage.
