As I got ready for bed I thought about what had happened only hours earlier. What was that? I mean, its not like I asked him to say anything to Natalie. In fact, I asked him not to. I'm a little set back by this. I'm used to treating mean with nice. Now I can't really doesn't have much of an effect now. But the truth is that Vaughn butting in really upsets me, and what he said really got to me. Well, I guess I'll just sleep on it and look at it with a fresh perspective tomorrow.

-Tuesday-

I woke up to the singing of the birds. I jumped out of her and got dressed as quick as possible. My crops should be ready to harvest today! I walked out the door and into the sweet spring air. My turnips were ready and popping out of the ground.

After a hour of harvesting I straightened my back and wiped my forehead. I had eighteen turnips! I'm finally going to be able to get a barn, and hopefully a cow! I skipped to my shipping bin and started pulling the turnips out of my rucksack.

Once I was done I decided to take a stroll in the forest to help pass the time. I walked down the worn dirt path and stared at the beauty surrounding me. The sunlight behind the trees leaves created a dappled pattern on the ground and the wildflowers were everywhere, and in all colors of the rainbow.

I started to feel a little home sick and I started thinking about everything I used to do. I thought of lots of things, and a memory surfaced to the top of my mind. My tree. I know it sounds strange, but hat tree comforted me as much as my father did. Whenever I was feeling down I would sit in that tree and think, or sing or talk out loud. It never failed to make me feel better. I thought that it might help me out with all this Natalie business, and since no one was around I might as well give it a chance.

So, I climbed a tree in the forest. I climbed pretty high, and the view was stupendous. I thought of Natalie, and Vaughn and everyone else that was mean to me. I might act like it couldn't bother me any less, but it really does. I let out a sigh, and found that a song had popped into my head, so I did what I would normally do. I sang.

You, with your words like knives and swords and weapons that you use against me,

You, have knocked me off my feet again, got me feeling like a nothin

You, with your voice like nails on a chalkboard, calling me out when I'm wounded

You, picking on the weaker man

You can take me down, with just one single blow

But what you don't know what you don't know

Someday I'll be...

I just sang. I sang my sorrows, hoping they would leave me with the words.

-Vaughn-

I let down a long, heavy sigh. My cousin in the most freaking annoying girl in the world. She has to be one of the major reasons I hate the sunshine islands. She just has to be. She just makes me so mad. At least I'm only here for two days, and then I'm back to the city.

I still had an hour before my boat came, so I decided to go for a walk through the forest. It's the only place on these Goddess damn islands that no one else goes to, and I just love it there. Sometimes I can find wild animals there, and that's always nice. The majority of them are really friendly.

As I walked I took in my surroundings. Today was just gorgeous. And that's ME saying that, so you know that it was pretty damn beautiful. Just as I started to calm down and relax, a voice broke into my thoughts. I stifled a groan. I HATE people.

I was about to find the speaker and glare at them, but then I realized that they weren't talking to me. They were singing. I felt a smirk appear on my face. They probably came here for the same reason I did- they thought no one else came here. I started walking towards the sound absentmindedly.

I realized something that stopped me in my tracks, and I let out yet another groan. The only person on this island that would sing out loud, in the open, was Julia, who sounded like a dying cat, and Chelsea, the preppy farmer. I grimaced and was about to turn when I realized yet another thing.

The song being sang was supposed to be upbeat, but the voice that sang it was full of sorrow and hurt. That couldn't be lil'miss rancher then. She was as upbeat as Julia, even when being made fun of. She probably never felt real hurt, her with her protected life.

Then who the hell would be ballsy enough to sing out loud? No one on this freaking island, that's for sure. Goddess damn it why the hell am I sitting here having a fight with myself about who the hell is singing a freaking song? It's not like it matters to me. I'll just walk away.

So here I am, just two minuets later, about to enter a clearing and so who has been singing. Goddess I hate myself right now. I took a deep breath, and did my best to get rid of my scowl, but I wasn't sure if it worked or not.

I walked out into the clearing, and looked around, but I didn't see anyone so I started looking in the trees. The singing stoped abruptly, so I assumed whoever it was spotted me. I saw a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye. I whipped my head around so fast I swear I could've gotten whiplash from it.

In my sight was the farmer, with tears streaked down the side of her face. She looked rediculous being so high up in a tree, and the two sights didn't seem to go together. She was looking at me with such wide doe eyes it was making me uncomfortable.

"Why th' hell are ya' singing in th' middle of th' forest, and why are ya' cryin'?" I asked her, wincing as my southern accent came out, like it always does when I am uncomfortable. She let out a startled squeak and quickly climbed down he tree. I must say, that girl can climb.

"I'm s-sorry, I'll just be going" she forced out of her mouth, and she started to head out of the forest. Goddess damn it, I made her feel bad. I wanted to slap myself, but that would probably just make her even more uncomfortable. Wait- why would I care about that?

"Hey, I'm sorry if' I made ya' uncomfortable, but thrs' no reason for you to leave" I said, looking strait at her.

"Here, why don't you come sit and sing me another song" I said desperately, not wanting to upset her anymore. She turned around and dried her tears on her sleeve. She sat down next to a tree and looked at me, confused.

"C'mon sing s'mthn" I mumbled "Ya' got s'm nice pipes on ya" I said and sat down in the middle of the clearing. She complied, and started to sing.

She really had a wonderful voice. It was soft, but still loud enough to be heard easily. I wonder what Julia would say if she knew. I pulled up my sleeve and looked at my wrist watch.

"Shit!" I said, and Chelsea stopped singing. I ran out the forest as fast as I could, hoping I could still catch the boat.

"Sorry! I've got to catch my boat!" I called over my shoulder, feeling like a complete ass for leaving her by herself.
