Chapter 4
Jill led us through the dirt path that led to a little wooden bridge over a small sparkling creek. I admired the glistening little ripples that made there way over to us from the near-by ocean. The rain made little pebbles in the water as we slowly crossed the slippery wooden bridge. The big boots clomped and slid on the bridge causing me to trip and fall into the river...almost... I grabbed onto the ledge and screamed. Jill turned around and helped me up as Vesta and Marlin came running and I saw Blue in the distance standing by the gardens to check and see if everything was okay. Jill's hands slid and I gripped the ledge.
Okay, I know this is a little weird but I really wanted Blue to come running over here and help but he was so f-ing shy. UGHH! Vesta's big hands rapped around my forearms and pulled and I couldn't help notice how much I wished Blue was helping me instead...agin... Why was I thinking this? I didn't come here for a man! I came here to be independent and s-i-n-g-l-e! UGHH! Why did I have these thoughts?
"Thanks Vesta." I murmured through the drowning down-pour.
"No Problem!" She said while her orange hair was flattened against her wide forehead.
"Thanks! Vesta you're a saver!" Jill said enthusiastically. I grabbed her hand and pulled her toward the other side of the bridge. Again I thought Why in the hell would Blue not come! UGHH! Boys drove me insane! So clueless! Okay I'm not stupid, I knew I liked him. I knew what happened when you didn't acknowledge the fact that you knew you liked someone. It reminded me of Kristopher, the old guy I used to like from the city, than he ended up dating my used-to-be best friend, Careen, because I didn't act fast enough.
Before I stepped off the bridge I looked over to Vesta's Farm to where Blue was standing. He waved and I gave a feeble wave back. Why did he have to be so cute? I turned and didn't look back. Jill took lead. The heavy rain stopped me from seeing the supposedly beautiful scenery. She suddenly made a quick U-turn into a wide up-hill path that was dirt / mud because of all the really heavy rain. She helped me up the steep hill then led the way through the many tall wood buildings. The rain was falling even harder once she pushed against a heavy door, while the door looked gray because of the color the rain gave off. I looked back and couldn't see anything all I saw was a dark gray. I hurried in as Jill's hand moved out to feel the wall by the door to feel for the light switch, while shutting the heavy door behind her blocking of the treacherous rain. The light switched on illuminating the little warm space. She crossed the room to turn on the TV and then to the weather channel. In bold letters across the top said "HURRICANE ALLERT!" just before it got all static and shut off along with the lights. But, I saw the weather man...women. It was Nami.
"Well, that's just great. I'm going to have to crash with you...Fara?"
"Oh, YEAH!" I said distracted "Sure. Ummm...Do you think it will stop raining by tomorrow?" I asked. Really wanting it to stop so that I could plant crops and start off on my first day. And ask for Blue's help.
"I don't know. This weather channel is a twelve hour thing, you know a day-by-day thing." She said as a massive yawn over took her.
"Come on sis. Let's get you to bed." I slowly led her to the one small quilted bed and helped her in. I pulled the covers up to her chin as she nestled in comfortably. Then I looked around the small cabin at the small kitchen, the calendar, the bed, the table, the record player. It was all so homey. I was excited to start my day tomorrow, my new life. I looked around until I finally found some old quilts under the bed. My eyes adjusted to the dark. I pulled the thickest one out and laid it on the ground and then pulled out the thinnest one and laid it on top then I gently pulled one of the two pillows out from under Jill's head and threw it on my make-shift bed. I went to the rose framed mirror above the nightstand and took in the hat that covered my hair. Blue's hat. I pulled it off letting my curls fall around my shoulders and down my back. I pulled of his flannel shirt and then my t-shirt and put on one of Jill's extra shirts and PJ pants because stupid me, I forgot mine and I
wasn't going all the way back there.
I put Blue's worn out boots by the door and the hat and the flannel shirt sprawled over the kitchen sink to dry then crawled under the thin quilt and quickly fell asleep.
