Feelings of Nothing
The day was uncommonly cold, as Jack walked down the mountain path from his normal visit to Maria on her day off. Oh he loved her so, but he dare not tell her, because Jack feared rejection, something that he was quite used to among women. Jack knew that he would soon tell her how he felt, but now was not the time, for he had more important things to worry about besides love. He had his farm, his animals, and he felt inside he had to live up to his grandfathers' expectations.
Jack arrived back at his farm, to see that Harris had just been there, because he had mail. Jack walked over to the mailbox, and opened the letter. As he read it over, he slowly came into realisation of what it was about. Jack slowly let the letter drop to the ground, and walked out of his farm, and down to the beach, to where he just sat in the sand, slowly crying to himself.
Maria decided she would take Jack lunch, so she walked over to his farm, with a small lunch wrapped in a napkin, and knocked on his door. "Jack? Are you home? I brought you a lunch." Maria said, in loud voice, well for her at least. No answer came, so Maria decided she would look around. She checked the barn, the chicken coup, and the field, but she couldn't find him. Maria sighed with sadness, as she walked away, "I guess he is not home.." Maria said, as she walked passed the mailbox, stepping on the letter.
The letter crackled and crumbled underneath of her small feet. "What's that?" Maria thought, as she looked down, and saw the letter. Maria picked up the letter and slowly started to read it. Maria slowly dropped the napkin with the food in it, and walked away, letting go of the letter. As Maria walked out of the farm, she slowly started to run, tears slowly starting to stream from her face, as she started to cry.
The cool breeze picked up, slowly blowing the letter around, causing it to fly up and get stuck in a tree. From way atop the tree. It looked like a small flag that possible Kent and Stu once used that got away. But really, it was a tool of pain, and something that could play with someone's emotions easily.. [I know you are all dying to find out what it said, ne? So here..]
As Jack sat on the beach, the breeze, slowly playing with his hair, he started to reread the letter in his mind ... "Jack, I know your feelings for Maria know, and I know your past feelings for me.. I am sorry to have to do this to you now, but I have finally come within myself, to understand, that I love you...I am sorry for telling you now, but please, tell me if you feel the same way now.. Karen.... P.S: Answer back by leaving this blank in the mailbox for yes.. And take it away for no.."
Jack fell backwards in the sand, knowing his feelings for Karen still existed, but knew his feelings for Maria were stronger for Karen, but he knew he left the letter blank.. He felt terrible, and still didn't know what he really wanted to do. Maria ran into her room, ignoring her mother, and dropped herself on her bed, crying, afraid the man she was starting to love, would just leave her. She didn't know what he would do, and she was afraid because of it.
