A\N: my hands are gonna die one day.

Ellie sat in the her bedroom with Ruby on her lap.

she alone in her thoughts. he was surrounded by gays.

by gays, i mean Charles and Henry. who are legit a married couple.

she laughed and rolled her eyes playfully as she continued hearing Henry and Charles having their lovely chat.

it never bothered her at all but it does get boring after awhile.

though, she remains happy for Charles and Henry.

it's funny.

sometimes she wonder how a love life can be.

she never thought TOO far about it. she seems happy just way she is.

single.

it never bothered her and it won't bother her now.

Ellie stroked the sleeping dog on her lap. 

she was way too focus on Henry and Charles' talk.

clearly, they were only talking about what type of sickness Charles might have.

but they were mostly being all 'lovey dovey' with each other.

not a surprise but ehh.

it's better then see them kiss in front of your face.

Ellie sighed and carefully got Ruby off of her lap and got out of the room.

now, she heard Henry and Charles' voices much clear now since she's got of the room but she didn't come out only to hear this stupid talk.

she was just bored.

Ellie walked down the stairs and placed her sweater on.

soon after she got down the stairs and onto the door, she rushed out.

Ellie felt the cold wind hit her face as she exited the house and entered the outside world.

though, she felt that breeze everyday. only a newborn would be amazed.

she walked away from the house and soon enough, it was out of her sight.

of course it is, since, she's not looking back.

she stuffed her hands into her pockets and looked in every corner with her eyes.

Ellie knew where she was going. she didn't really have the gut to stay home.

after a few blocks, she stopped in her tracks.

many people walked passed her, kind of pushing her a bit.

Ellie soon started moving and ignoring the pushing crowd. 

she expected this because at this hour, everyone gets out of work.

speaking of which, she knew that would mean a friend would be too.

she tried to run in front of the crowd but failed.

Ellie eyed the road next to her and stepped out of the crowd and into the road.

she walked to the back of them and started walking like if she just got out of work too.

so fucking clever.

soon, the crowd disappeared and she was alone, walking through the neighborhood like if it was nothing.

she came across a small house.

it was small but it was still worth living in.

she opened the front gate and once inside the yard, she closed it.

Ellie walked up to the front door.

she wondered if he was even home. Ellie fished out her phone and opened it up to her lock screen.

it was around 3.

he should be home by now.

Ellie stood there, puzzling weather she should knock or just leave.

Johnny is a busy man, he takes care of himself.

clearly.

and no, Charles and Henry does not know about Ellie and Johnny's relationship and she hopes it stays that way.

Ellie decided to leave but before she could turn around, she heard groans of stress.

she brightened up a bit.

Ellie walked into the backyard and saw him there.

Johnny struggling to carry a package he had found not long ago.

"need help?" Ellie spoke up.

Johnny turned to face the ex-convict and nodded, letting out a stressed sigh.

Ellie scoffed playfully and went towards Johnny to help him with his package.

seems heavy.

looks heavy.

IT IS HEAVY.

to keep in mind, Ellie left without saying anything to Charles and Henry.

"where do you think she would have gone?" Charles asked.

he was fiddling with a piece of his shirt.

Henry shrugged. 

"she just left? without even saying anything?" Henry whispered.

"maybe she didn't was to interrupt us talking." Charles explained, waving his hand around.

Henry nodded.

"it could be" Henry sighed.

Charles shook his head and smiled.

he walked behind Henry and wrapped his arms around Henry's neck.

"maybe she's just hanging out with a friend. don't worry so much." Charles sighed and kissed Henry's cheek.

"i suppose your right." he nodded softly.

he couldn't stop though.

he could at least try.

Charles unwrapped his arms and walked away, going upstairs to his place in the attic.

Henry watched Charles disappear and then laughed.

"cute." he said to himself and went into the kitchen.

i suppose Ellie can stay for a little while now that Henry's calm.

right?
