Letters to Nobody

Chapter Four

Fall 1

Dear Vaughn,

Some time has passed since my last letter. It's fall now. I have looked out the window and I see the leaves changing color. I expect Mark will be collecting the rice soon. I haven't been sleeping well. When I do sleep, all I think about and all I dream about is you. You are on my mind twenty-four seven. Last night, I was thinking about your birthday, the spring after I told you how I felt.

The spring air felt nice on my face. I was so happy that spring had arrived. That meant that a whole year had passed since I started living on the Island. I felt happier in spring, and I was happy to see the cherry blossoms in full bloom. I paused in watering to look at the blossoms. I gazed at them for a moment, before I finished watering, and headed toward the rice paddy. I hadn't planted my rice yet, and I had to get it planted.

I got the seeds planted, and I finished taking care of my animals. I stopped by the house real quick to get something to eat when I glanced at the calendar. It was the third. That meant that it was your birthday. It was also a day you were in town. It was a Thursday, so you would be leaving that evening.

I left the house without eating and hurried into town. I made a quick stop by Taro's, and then headed to Chen's store. I had to find something that I thought you might like. There wasn't anything I thought you might like, so I bought some fabric, thread and a needle and headed to the animal shop to find you.

I walked in and a quick glance around told me you weren't there.

"Mirabelle, where is Vaughn?" I asked.

"Oh, he is in the barns, helping Julia with the animals."

Right. That was your job after all.

"Can you give him a message for me? Can you tell him to meet me in the meadow at five?"

She assured me that she would, and I left the shop and headed for Taro's again. I walked into the house and I saw Felicia sitting at the kitchen table.

"Hey, Felicia," I said, sitting next to her.

"Good morning, Chelsea," she said, smiling. "What can I do for you?"

"I was wondering if you would help me with something."

"Well, I can try. What do you need help with?" she asked.

"Today is Vaughn's birthday and I wanted to make a new vest for him, but I am not very good at sewing. I was hoping you could help me out a bit."

"Well, I will try my best," Felicia said, smiling.

We spent the rest of the morning and into early afternoon working on the vest, and by three o'clock, we had it done. I looked at the vest and was quite proud with it. Felicia had helped me make sure that it was even and that the seams were even. I thanked her and I placed the vest in the bag. I stopped by the café and got something to eat. I headed back to my farm to wrap the gift and take a shower.

At four thirty, I headed for the meadow and you weren't there yet. So, I picked a spot under a tree and waited for you. At five, you showed up and when you saw me, you smiled and headed straight for me. I stood up and waited for you to join me, your gift hidden behind my back.

"Mirabelle said you wanted to see me here. What's up?"

"I wanted to give you your birthday gift!" I said, happily.

I brought the gift from behind my back and presented it to you. I had placed the vest in a box and wrapped it with blue wrapping paper. You looked surprised at first, and opened the gift. You took the lid off the box and held up the vest that Felicia and I had made. It was black, but the trim was red. You held it up to examine it. You took off the brown vest that you normally wore and put the one I made for you on. It fit perfectly and it looked good on you.

"Wow! Thanks Chels!" you said. "I love it!"

I was happy that you loved it so much.

"I'm glad you like it," I said. "I made it with the help of Felicia. I bought the material and she helped me sew it up for you!"

"You made this?" you asked, slightly surprised.

I smiled and nodded.

"Yeah, and I had fun doing it! Seeing you happy makes me happy!"

"Hey, Mirabelle made me a cake, and she wanted me to ask you if you wanted to come back for dinner before I left."

"Yes! I would love to! I love Mirabelle's cooking."

You folded up your brown vest and we started heading toward West Town. When we reached East Town, Sabrina stopped us, so she could give you your gift. It was a gold watch. It was much more expensive than my gift, and I knew she had a crush on you. I heard her say something to Will about it the other day. I felt jealous as I watched her try to flirt with you, but you didn't seem to notice. After a couple moments, it became evident that she wasn't getting anywhere, and I showed no signs of leaving you alone with her, so she wished you a happy birthday and went on her way.

By the time we arrived at Mirabelle's, I was in a bad mood, and you couldn't understand why. But, after having dinner and some cake, I felt better. By eight o'clock, Julia, Mirabelle and I were walking with you down to the docks so you could go back to the mainland. You gave Mirabelle and Julia an awkward hug, but when you got to me, you hesitated and instead settled for a handshake. I was a little disappointed, but I let it slid. You got on the boat and it started to sail away. Julia and I stood on the beach for a while afterwards, until the light from your boat had disappeared.

"Julia," I said. "Someday, I will make Vaughn mine."

And I did, Vaughn. I did make you mine, but you left me when I became pregnant. Why did you do that? Why? I thought you loved me! I want to see you. I want to see you now.

Love,

Chelsea

Chelsea rubbed her eyes. She didn't sleep the night before, because this particular memory of Vaughn was tormenting her. She knew she had to write about it. Just like the other letters, she put it in an envelope and put it in the drawer. She stood by the window and watched the sky darken to night, and she wondered which memory would torment her next.

A/N: So what did you think? This one was just a small memory that surfaced while Chelsea was trying to sleep, and I think it makes sense. Right now, she is thinking about the happy memories she had with Vaughn, but I do want to add a couple sad memories, too. Just so you know I am not really following the storyline from the game. Some things will be from the game and some won't. Remember to read and review. I accept constructive criticism, but please no flames. See you in chapter five!
