Vaughn's P.O.V.
The cowboy looked at the ad he got from the animal shop, wondering what the odds were that his aunt would be needing to hire a new animal trader. He'd already talked to his boss and his boss agreed that Happiness Island would be a perfect fit for him. Anything that gave him two more days away from the crazy woman who was stalking him when he came back to the city. Uhg Karen, he couldn't stand that woman, all she wanted was to get into his pants. As soon as she got what she wanted she'd be done but he didn't want to go there. Suddenly he heard a knock at the door. I bet I can guess who, he said as he answered the door. He was greeted by a hazel eyed redhead in a trench coat. She gave him a slightly seductive smile, and said "Hey Cowboy I was just listening to the radio and decided to come over and try what the song by Big and Rich suggested, and save a horse and ride a cowboy," she said as she opened up her coat to show her red corset, and high heels. He gave her a glare and slammed the door in her face. "Maybe later then, "she said. He went in his room and began to pack his things. He looked up at the photo of him and the brunette with crystal eyes wearing his Letterman jacket from when he was in high school. They both looked so happy in that picture. He missed her so much, the way she felt when he'd get her to ride with him, the fun they had swimming in the creek. And more importantly he missed her lips, it was only a first kiss but he didn't know it would be there last.
Flashback*******
Her grandparents farm was next door and she'd visit often, she was his best friend. He always sensed there was something she wasn't telling him. One day he got over his shyness and finally asked her out to a dance at his school, she'd said yes and they'd shared what was their first kiss. Then when she was supposed to meet him she never showed. I couldn't go to her house, she refused to tell me where she lived. I tried her cell phone but she never picked up. I went to her grandparents and knocked on the door, Her grandmother opened the door. Um Mrs. Miller have you talked to Chelsea, we had a date to-night and she never showed and I can't get her to pick up.", I said worriedly and then I noticed her face went white as she led me in and told her husband who picked up a phone and began dialing. I heard her grandfather in the back room talking to an officer. "Thanks Officer." he said as he got off the phone. "Her parents are pretty high and may not make it through the night, an Chels is missing. Neighbors heard her screaming for help but no one knows anything more or they wont say and now she's gone, they put out a missing persons and an amber alert." he stated But no one ever found her. I don't know why she disappeared, the police even came by my dad's place to question me. I asked the officer if they thought they'd find her but he nodded his head and said her parents died after the overdose so there was little chance.
They called off the search eventually, said it was doubtful she was alive after all this time and it went into a cold case file. My dad said for me to just get over it, but they my dad was never much with words.
She was never found as far as I know. But know other girl could make me smile the way she could, my cousin on the Island Julia calls me anti-social, but I figured if I didn't get close to anyone else I wouldn't feel the pain of losing someone again. I began to pack my bag for my first visit to the island and placed the photo in a black box in my bag. I began looking over the list of the animals to be brought over to the island and prepared for a two days a week working visit at my aunts. I hope this farmer that need the animals knows what shes doing.
