After the Thanksgiving day, Doris went out of the Dingman's house for two days without telling anyone where she was going to. Mr.Dingman and the children waited for Doris to come back. When Doris came back, she doesn't talk to anyone and went up to bed. Ellie knew something really bad will happen and she was afraid.
On the next morning, when Mr.Dingman and the childrn came down to have their breakfast. They were surprised by Doris. Doris had made a breakfast for the Dingmans. Ellie thought everything will be better, and that Doris will come back and take care of them. But suddenly while they are eating their breakfast, Doris stood up and said she has something to say. "Everyone, I have an excited and good news for you guys," Doris said as she walked around the table. Ellie felt that it's going to be a bad news, she looked at her father's face, his face was stunned. "I'm moving to New York!" shouted Doris, "I'm going to follow my dreams." "Can I come with you?" asked Marie. "No Marie," said Doris. Ellie felt her heart pain. Mr.Dingman didn't say anything. Doris said that she will be leaving as soon as possible. And she promised she will write letters.
Two weeks after her leaving, Doris sent a post card to the Dingmans. It had said that she was finding jobs and apartment. Marie and Albert really missed their mother, but they can't do anything with that. Doris had gone. She promised the Dingmans that if she perfectly accomplish her dream by being a well-known actress, she will get the Dingmans to live with her in New York. Nearly Christmas, Doris sent another postcard saying that she had found an apartment to lived, and she had agents. By Christmas, there's no sign for Doris. The Dingmans celebrate their Christmas warmly in their house. Ellie bought the gifts and decorate the house by herself. She put all the gifts that she bought for her dad, Marie, and Albert under the Christmas Tree. She missed Doris. After Doris had left, she needed to get going with the Dingmans by herself, with all the chores every single days, and school stuffs, and friends by herself.
A day before the holidays at her school, Ellie decided to visit New York. She asked for her father's permission but her dad said no. But she needed to see Doris. Elllie got plans. She told Holly to please take care of Marie and Albert and said that she wanted a day out. Ellie planned everything so she won't waste her time on losting in New York. Ellie done packing. She was ready for New York. On the next day after the school, Ellie woke up early and waited for her dad to go to work. After that she went down stair, did all the chores and lists all the things Mr. Dingman needed to do when she's gone. And off Ellie goes, traveling on a bus to New York.
Doris's apartment was a messed, it was small and nasty. Later Ellie found out that Doris doesn't had an actress job, but she had a perfume seller in a mall job. Ellie was mad and wanted Doris to come home. Doris denied and said that she won't be going home, she was happy here. Ellie got angry and walked out. She got banged by a mysterious, scary man. The man told her to come with him, but Ellie said no and run away. The man run after her. Ellie ran until she reached the big road filled by people. The man was gone, she was safed. She borrowed a phone to called her dad, she told the what she had been through and her dad said he will be there as soon as possible. Around 3AM Mr. Dingman arrived at Doris's apartment. He had arguement with Doris and said that in the morning he will be leaving with Ellie back to Spectacle. Doris said it was okay.
It's been months since Ellie came back from New York. Witch Tree Lane was safed and peaceful. Ellie and Holly were leaving their peaceful life in Witch Tree Lane. Mr. Dingman, now got home early everyday. He take cared the Dingmans with love and kindness. Everything seemed to be right now. Mr. Dingman learned how to cook easy menus for his kids and did the right thing a father should do. One day, just two days before school's end, Ellie got in a fight with one of a bad kid in school. So she just went out in the middle of the school time, without telling anyone. She walked home. When Ellie got home she was surprised by that Doris was home! Ellie asked Doris that was she going to come back? But Doris said no, she won't be moving back, but instead she will be moving to Hollywood! Ellie was shocked and asked Doris that she was never happy to leave with them right? Doris said yes.
Mr. Dingman came home because Ellie called him that Doris was here. Mr. Dingman and Doris decided to divorced. They agreed that they both will be happier. When Doris was gone. Mr. Dingman hugged Ellie and both told each other that we are going to be okay. She was going to be okay with all the problems. Ellie told her dad that she will be sitting by the porch. She went out and sat. Looking at the Witch Tree Lane neigbborhood, Ellie signed. Hugging Kiss by her side, Ellie realized this is her place.
The Witch Tree Lane is her home, and she is happy.
