VaughnXChelsea part 4
Chelsea's POV
I got to the diner out of breath. I calmed myself down and breathed deep before walking in the door. Vaughn wasn't there yet, he would be any minute though. I sat down at the table in the back left corner, waiting impatiently for Vaughn. Some people exited the diner, some came in. After a couple more minutes of impatient waiting, Vaughn came in through the door. He glared at everyone who stared at him which was unusual for him, but when he saw me his face lifted into a smile. I waved him over to the table.
"Hey," he said.
"Hi." he grabbed my hand pulling me to the counter where we could order. I ordered a dish of curry, one of my favorites, and Vaughn ordered cold porridge. His favorite.
We sat back down at the table, and Vaughn actually took his hat off. I haven't seen him without his hat in a long time. How long was it? Four years? Five? Wow...five years.
"Okay Vaughn, time to catch up. What have you been doing the last five years that I've missed?"
"Well, I applied for this job, and I've been traveling to Mineral town, Forget-me-not valley, and a couple other places. I've just taken care of animals, supply shops with animals and feed, and looked for you mostly." he reached up to pull his hat down over his face, but he realized it wasn't there.
I realized how close we had gotten before I moved. He really had missed me.
Our food came just a bit after that, and we ate quietly. I did have one question for him though, why was he rude to the other people on the island, glaring at them and such.
"Vaughn, I know this might seem like a weird question, but when you walked in, why were you glaring at everyone?" I regretted asking that question.
"Well..I-I uh, um, when you left people started to tease me again, I guess I started to avoid people more so I wouldn't be teased."
"Oh, I see. I did hate those kids that taunted you. I had to try to stop myself from punching them in the face every time. " I really did hate them. They always hung around Vaughn, teasing him about his grey hair and purple eyes, but his hair wasn't grey, it was silver.
"I did punch one kid in the stomach the day you left at break, I was really fed up with him." he chuckled.
"You did? Go Vaughn!" I laughed.
"It was pretty glorious. That kid never messed with me again."
"Nice. Did you ever get in trouble though?" I asked.
"Ya, the kid told on me but I didn't get in trouble that bad. Just got curbed for the next few days."
"I bet that was fun." I said sarcastically.
"It was fun. I just sat there, missing someone." he said. I smiled, then thought of something.
"Are you going to be on the island tomorrow?" tomorrow was Friday, I wasn't sure of his schedule.
"I would stay on the island if I could, but I only come here on Wednesdays and Thursdays to re-stock the animals and feed." he looked unhappy to leave.
"So you're leaving today?" I asked, a hint of sadness when I said the word 'leaving'. He nodded.
"Tonight actually." he said.
"Oh...I'll miss you." I said. "I mean, we just found each other yesterday. It seems like only five minutes ago."
"I know. I'm gonna miss you Chels." he said.

Vaughn's POV
It was late evening, I was on the beach waiting for the ferry to arrive. I heard the horn in the distance, I dreaded that sound right now. I heard someone coming up behind me, it was Chelsea.
"Hey," she said.
"Hey." I said back. I wrapped my arm around her shoulder.
"I wish you didn't have to go..." she buried her face in my chest.
"I know. I wish I didn't have to go either." I pulled her into a hug. She looked up at me and smiled sadly.
"We can both wait six days, right?" she asked.
"It might be too long. I'll have to see." I smiled back down at her. The ferry was closer now, about a couple miles away.
"What am I going to do while you're gone?" she asked.
"Take care of your farm, maybe get an animal, visit Julia and talk with her, go fishing..." I suggested.
"I guess you got me." She laughed. "I just hope these six days go bye quickly."
"Me too." the ferry was about to dock, and she let me out of the hug. "I'll see you next week,"
"Okay." she sighed. Before I left, she grasped me into another quick hug. I boarded the ship, watching her watch me as the ferry left for the city. I watched her till the island was out of sight, then went to find my cabin for the night. I found my cabin after searching for awhile. I sat down on the bed, sighing. I thought about seeing Chelsea again, I had really found her. She really does bring out the best of the anti-social cowboy I've been. I never really showed her that side of me at all. My heart started to ache after thinking about her. What's happening to me? Am I starting to like her more than just a friend?
ooh, Vaughn is starting to like her! :D:D What do you guys think? Please review! :) I'll post part 5 up soon once I edit it.
