Chapter 13: Identity Revealed

Jane yawned and looked at the clock. The one her cousin sent her for her birthday. His name was Harry, but his story is for another time. She was thinking all night and couldn't fall asleep. She was thinking about many things. Mostly about last night, how she held Kurt so tightly and how he held her back. She felt like he would hold on forever. She couldn't help but think of Gray and Cliff. A little after Kurt left. But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't think of Kai. She considered what Ann had told her before. And she wondered if she was to actually choose one of them, what would happen to the rest of them.

--------------------------------------------------------

"Good Morning! Kurt!" Joe said

Kurt jumped out of his bed; he wasn't use to waking up so early. Joe was already clothed, and he looked like he already cut a lot of lumber. Joe was always the morning person. Kurt stumbled out of bed and quickly got dressed. He waved his hands through his hair and put on his bandana. He walked downstairs, and Joe was singing while cooking eggs.

"Kurt!!!"Joe said cheerfully. Kurt wondered why he was so cheerful.

"What?" Kurt said half-drinking some grape juice.

"I found something special!"Joe said putting a steaming plate of eggs near Kurt. He held up two blue feathers.

"Where did you?" Kurt asked surprised.

"I found them! Aren't we so lucky? They only come once in a blue moon. I went on the highest point of the mountain and found them!" Joe exclaimed. Joe handed him one and smiled. "One for you and one for me! Katie will be so surprised."

"I don't need one, Joe." Kurt said.

"Oh Really?" Joe said smiling.

Kurt started to panic "Did he know about Jane...?" "What do you mean?" Kurt asked.

"The cute librarian? Mary, ring a bell?" Joe replied putting away the plates.

Kurt started to laugh; his own brother didn't have a clue. Joe stood there completely clueless.

-------------------------------------------------------

He looked out the window, he couldn't sleep. He had so many things on his mind. When is the perfect time to give her the feather..? Would she even want it? And she already had a feather...that meant she had someone else on her mind. He sighed, it's been five days, and I've hardly got any sleep. He picked up the feather gently, slipped it into his pocket. And silently crept out the door.

------------------------------------------------------

Jane looked at her crops lovingly; the pineapples were coming along nicely. She had just shipped most of her corn, but tucked a few away into her rucksack.

"Gray, will be so surprised." Jane thought.

------------------------------------------------------

"Hmm, A little pinch of salt will do the trick." Jane said

Her hard work rewarded with a dish, Gray will surely love. She carefully placed it into her rucksack and walked outside.

She looked into her rucksack; she saved a couple of crops for Kurt and Joe. She instantly became worried. She hadn't seen Kurt, for a while. It's been very awkward between the two of them. Each of them wanted to say something, but usually nothing came out. But she had promised Joe, her freshest crops, and she wasn't going to let him down.

-------------------------------------------------------

"WILL YOU BE QUIET?" Kai shouted throwing a pillow at Cliff.

"Hmm?" mumbled Cliff as he threw Kai's pillow on the ground.

"You know, you snore very loudly. I don't understand how Gray can stand it. Barely slept at all." Kai said stretching.

"I do not snore! Do I Gray?" Cliff said defensively.

"Wait a minute, where is Gray?" Kai asked.

-----------------------------------------------------

Gray looked over the ocean. He was thinking. No one ever came this early to the beach. Everybody was just waking up. He really loved the ocean, but never seemed to visit it that often. Mostly because he had so much work to do.

"No wonder, Jane loves it here so much" Gray thought to himself.

He was thinking about the other people in Jane's life. She did seem to like those carpenters a lot. Especially that one with the camouflage pants. In fact, he on occasions talked with Kurt himself. Mostly about what had happened recently. But Gray could never guess that he liked Kurt.

"Oh, so here you are Gray!" Jane said waving at him

He looked at her, as she walked closer. Her hair was gently swaying in the breeze. And she her eyes shimmered in contrast to the ocean.

"She's so gorgeous." Gray thought

"I made this for you..."Jane said blushing

In Jane's hand were a wrapped box. By the smell, Gray can guess it was his favourite, Baked Corn. He took the box from her and smiled. He then put it into his own rucksack.

He was sure, this was the perfect moment. The days he would spend with her, Endless happiness at her farm. He grabbed her hands and held them gently. Jane stared at him in complete confusion.

"Jane...I..." Gray said
