Chapter 3: 'Those Big Emeralds...' Peregrin

(A/N: So... here is the next chapter of my story. Umm... if you like Hobbits, please go read Hippy Hobbit's story called 'Marrocs Tale'. Its awesome.)

Those big Emeralds...

...but why ever was he at the Green Dragon yesterday?!

He IS only 18... far too young to start drinking.

But...

...call me sick and disgusting.... I consider it a blessing.

I wasn't able to stop thinking about him since the night before, even though I was with Merry most of the day.

I don't think Aidan likes Merry very much, because he always called him 'Dania', which is a girly name... I could see it in his eyes that it was staring to bug him... he was twitching a lot.

I told Merry to stop, and I think it made him angry, because he said something stern to me...I didn't reply, tho'.

Those big Emeralds, which seemed to give life to the Shires itself, were staring at me.

Those twin stars.

I don't think he has ever looked me in the eyes before then, but.... Oh gods! I hope he does it again!

Merry got up and left. He seemed angry, but right now... I didn't care.

It was almost as if I had left my very body and was flying away. All the noises around me stopped- the clattering of dishes, the calls and singing of hobbits (some drunk, some almost there...), the pattering of feet... everything stopped.

I was floating in a sea of green... no... not floating...I was drowning...drowning hopelessly...and no matter how much I flailed my arms, no matter how much I tried to save myself-

'Aidan!'

He looked up, and just like that, I was snapped back into reality.

A dreadful, cold reality.

I was in Hell now.

All because of her.

A red-headed lass came walking over. I remembered her...she'd come to the Smials before to see him.

Dacian Goodbody.

My loves best friend.

Never in my life have I hated a lady to the point where I wanted to hurt them. Not even when it was one of my sisters.

That all changed now, as they hugged each other.

She.

That girl.

Touching him.

My love.

My Aidan.

I stood up quickly out of shock, knocking over both my ale and the stool I was sitting on. The ale certainly made a mess, all over my and the barmaid, who was taking a break and sitting next to me. She screamed and slapped me across the face, causing me to turn and face Aidan and Dachian, who had parted from their hug and were now staring at me.

I could feel my ears turning pink, and the tears were coming to my eyes. I had to bite my lip to stop them from coming. I felt embarrassed and started to push my way through the crowd...I needed to be by myself...I needed to go have a good cry somewhere.

Everyone was quiet.

'Love...love knows no boundaries!' I squeaked, then started pushing my way towards the door. People moved for me...but still... I pushed them.

And when I came to them...the slut...and my love...I made a move to shove the whore...but she grabbed on to Aidan, and he grabbed on to two people near him, causing everyone else to fall on their backsides as well, bruising them bottoms and spilling their pints.

But I didn't care.

As I opened the door, I swear I heard myself cry, 'He is mine, bitch! My Love!'

I didn't hear any reactions because I then slammed the door after me and ran out. I ran all the way home, passing Merry on the road. He called after me, but I ignored him, running and running. I went into my room and slammed the door, then flung myself on the bed, tears streaming down my cheeks and wetting my pillow. I cried myself to sleep, thinking about...

... Those big Emeralds...
