RJ sat alone in the moonlight, high in the branches of an oak tree. He glanced down to see Heather and Hammy kiss each other goodnight. Envy boiled inside him. Heather and Hammy had been dating for three months now and everytime RJ saw them together he felt jealous. After all, what did Hammy have that RJ didn't...besides the complete stupidity and empty headedness? RJ had been with Heather once before and it was the happiest two weeks of his life. Well, 18 days to be exact. He counted. RJ slowly worked his way down the tree, weaving in and out of branches. RJ finally reached the bottom of the tree and paced for a moment. "Come on RJ, just go in ask her...again. Maybe this time will be different." RJ said to himself.

"Hi, RJ" Hammy said.

RJ spun around quickly. "Oh, Hey. You scared me Hamsquad." RJ patted Hammy's shoulder. "Aren't you going to bed?"

"Yeah, but I want a cookie first!"

"Before you sleep?"

"Oatmeal makes me sleepy!"

"Ok, knock yourself out." Hammy zipped out of sight as RJ still stuggled with the decision. "Ok, here goes." RJ walked to where Heather slept. She fluffed a small pillow up and turned to face RJ. "Heather,...can I talk to you for a second?"

"Sure, RJ." Heather walked up to him and pulled him inside the little hut.

"I...Heather...I just wanna say...I...urgh!" RJ was tongue tied.

"Spit it out." Heather giggled. RJ liked to be the reason Heather laughed. It made him feel like she still had feelings for him.

"Ok, Heather, I have to tell you, I still love you." RJ said. Heather looked down in disappointment.

"RJ...I'm with Hammy now. You can't just come in here and and start saying 'I love you'." Heather put an arm on RJ's shoulder, "I love Hammy, and I will not hurt him."

"Please,...Heather give me one more chance. You know in your heart I love you. And I think you love me." RJ held Heather's hands.

"No." Heather pulled her hands away and looked away from him. RJ's eyes swelled up with tears. "Please, leave now."

"Heather-"

"Please, RJ just go." RJ turned and left. Hammy zipped back past him and into Heather's hut. RJ looked back at Heather's hut, it sat right next to the log. A dim, orange light glowed from it. RJ's mouth dropped as Hammy's shadow put it's mouth to Heather's.

"Goodnight." RJ whispered. He returned to the tree and cried himself to sleep.

Sorry, this chapter was suppose to be way longer but the next one will be though. Just hold on. And please review so that I know if I should continue. And I posted this late too.
