The next morning, Emily knocked on her father study softly knowing Ben would be in there working. She slowly opened the door and smiles at him. "I finished it...I want you to read it." She said slowly handing it to him.  Emily sighs as he slowly unfolds it's "No, don't open it now! Not while I'm in here." She said quickly scaring him slightly

"Okay."

"Read it when I'm gone." She said

"You mean... when you're dead?" He said slowly,Emily pulls a face "Dude, no, I mean, like, when I'm in the other room." She points to the door

"Oh. Gotcha. Will do." Ben said laughing a bit "Now, I have to go make a miraculous recovery." Emily said a she opened and closed the door walking out to the dinning room quietly. Everyone was quiet until Maggie spoke "Would anyone like some tea?" She asked "Tea sounds nice." Mrs Dickinson said as Maggie pours some into her cup. "Do we have any peppermint?" Emily asked softly, her mother jumped up shouting "It's a ghost!" As she backs away

"No, Mother. It's actually me." She said looking from her mother to her other family members "Emily, shouldn't you be in bed?"

"It's the most amazing thing...I woke up this morning and the headache was gone. I don't feel dizzy, no more sweats, I feel... wonderful." She explained with a smile

"Told you she didn't have yellow fever." Lavinia said from the other side of the table

"Praise be. Let's get some food into you. Something that'll stick to your ribs." Maggie said as she started piling food onto her plate. Emily turned to her mother "I'm sorry if I scared you, Mom." She said "Yes, well, it's good you're out of bed." Mrs Dickinson slowly hugs her "Now you can go wash the sheets." She whispered to Emily and pulled away from the hug as Emily turned to look at her father she places a hand on Austin's shoulder, he holds her hand. "It's okay, Dad. I'm not gonna die" the whole family was happy Emily wasn't going to die. "Well, I will one day..But probably not for, like, a long, long time." Emily said as she walks to her seat, her plate was packed with bread and other food. She takes the roll of bread and eats it.

Emily stood in the flower archway picking at the flower petals as she mutter "He likes the poem. He likes it not. He likes it. He likes it not. Who cares if he likes it? He's going to like it, right?" She continued to mutter to herself as she picked and threw the petals onto the floor. She didn't realise the two Gilbert sisters standing there.

"Emily?" Sue asked, the brunette haired poet spun around to see Sue then she looked towards the Y/h/c haired songwriter and her eyes lit up. "Y/n? Sue?" Emily walked towards the two, who held bags in their hands. They both wore black dresses.

"Is it really you? Not a figment of my imagination?" Emily asked Y/n, who nodded slowly "I'm real...But you're out of bed." Y/n questions "Yeah.Up and at 'em. Feeling good." She said happily "But in your letter
you said you were sick." Sue states "I was...feeling fatigued." Emily said as her smile begins to drop bit by bit.

"Your letter said you were dying." Y/n states with tears in her eyes "Well, I was dying. Of loneliness.Because you weren't writing me back." Emily said "That's not what you wrote." Y/n stated a frown etched onto her face "Haven't you ever heard of a metaphor?" Emily voice comes out small
"Dying isn't a metaphor. Not to me. Everyone in my family died. I take death literally.And... you scared me. You really scared me." Y/n said as a tear slipped down her cheek. "I'm sorry."

Sue stepped to the side to give to two some privacy "Emily, whe...When I got your letter, the one that said you were sick, I realized you're the only one I have. Besides Sue of course. But Without you, I might as well not exist here..You're the only one who truly loves me." Y/n confessed, Emily smiles wideneds. "Emily I have decided something" Sue said as she step towards them "i won't be marrying Austin.." to Emily it felt like the whole world went silent. "I just don't think he loves me, I only agreed to marry him because I wanted to protect Y/n"

"That's not true." Emily said as she turned towards Sue. "It is." "No." Emily said

"My brother loves you." Sue looked shocked by these words "What?"

"Austin came to my bedside when I was sick....Or when I was not sick....He confided in me....About you....About how he feels....And, Sue, he adores you....And I think...you should marry him." Sue looked shocked even more. "But- Emily you and Y/n promised you would get married- I don't- I can't-" Sue sighed in defeat as she couldn't find the words

"We'll be okay, besides-" Emily took off the necklace around her neck, she slipped the ring off the chain "-the world hasn't seen the last of us" Emily slipped the ring onto Y/n's ring finger. Y/n's eyes lit up as she looks at the ring, she throws herself into Emily wrapping her arms around Emily's neck. "We'll be okay.." Y/n repeats to Emily. "Thank god you're okay" she muttered

"Tell all the
truth but tell it slant -

Success in Circuit lies

Too bright for our infirm Delight

The Truth's superb surprise

As Lightning to the Children eased

With explanation kind

The Truth must dazzle gradually

Or every man be blind -"

"Sue?" Austin approached the women who was dressed in all black "Austin." Sue turned towards him as he took of his big top hat. "What are you doing here?" He asked "I came back."

"But... for who?" He asked, he had a million questions in that one ask. 'Did she come back for him? Did she come back for Y/n? Did she come back for Emily and Y/n to be together?'

He just hoped that the first one was correct, as Sue opened her mouth to talk she would utter the words that would either break his heart and smash it or make his world. Sue looked at Y/n and Emily, who looked back at her, before looking at Austin "For you." Austin couldn't of been happier, he ran up to Sue and Kissed her. Making Y/n fake gag. Emily laughed at her antics but a small part of her was in pain.

She turned around to walk back inside of the house. Ben stood at the porch holding the paper in his hand. He smiled "I love it" Emily smile grew wider, the two looked at each other. Y/n came by her side, "Emily" Y/n asked, immediately catching Emily's attention "who's this?" She asked.

"oh right!" She said and looked back at Ben "Y/n this is Ben, he works with my father and Ben this is my best friend Y/n" Emily said as she hooked their arms together. "She is a songwriter and the best in all of the world"

"Well I wouldn't say that" Y/n felt her cheeks and the side of her neck heat up. "Well it's a pleasure to meet you, miss-"

"Gilbert, my sister is Sue Gilbert, soon to be Dickinson" Y/n explained "I will be the only Gilbert to carry on the bloodline, I feel the betrayal wrapping around my heart" Y/n said dramatically with a hand over her forehead acting like she was going to faint at any moment.

"Well I can see you have a flair for the dramatics, if songwriting doesn't work out, acting just might" he said making Y/n smile at him "woah I am just going to grab her arm so you don't try and steal her away from me" Emily joked as she pulled Y/n towards her.

"So you're the sister that Emily speaks so highly about?" Y/n turns to look at Emily, who already has a blush going up her neck "you talk about me?" Y/n whispers "only a little.." Emily makes a small gap between her thumb and index finger. "Besides it is everything that annoyed me about you..like how you stay up all night writing and how you won't let me hear you sing. Or how you always win in a game of cards" Emily lists ignoring the look she got from Y/n, which was of awe.

"What else did she say?" Y/n asked Ben quickly unlinking her arm with Emily and running up to the man. Ben went and explain what else she said. Like how she said that Y/n was her favourite sister. And how she showed one of the music piece to him. And lot of other stuff. "Aww you keep me in mind" Y/n teases as she walked toward the poet and links arms again 'yeah and I also saw you everywhere I went and it drove me insane' Emily thought.
