My mistake

I don't know what came over me.

I don't know why I asked what the name of his gun was.

I guess it was... hope?

Hope? Hah. Nah, that can't be.

What would I be hoping for?

...

I guess... I would... be hoping for him to return.

Jet...

Adam...

They seem so alike.

The way they talk, stutter when they're embarrased...

They have a lot of similarities.

Heh, they even both DON'T have a knack for lying.

I wonder...

Is Adam,...

Nah, that's not possible.

Jet's too stubborn to be Adam.

...Right?

But come to think of it,... Adam's pretty stubborn as well. And he still doesn't want me to see his face.

...

But it's still not possible.

Right?

He can't be.

Adam...

He cannot be Jet.

"Here's your room!" Virginia said to her friend as showing him in. "There are 3 beds here, choose whichever bed you want."

The young man smiled, though she could not see it because of his hood. "Thank you." He said, as slightly entering the cool room.

The young lady smiled at him as she replied. "No problem! I'll be in my room, 'kay? Call me when you need me!"

She saw Adam nod as she entered her room, which was across his. She closed the door softly before plopping down on her bed.

"I don't know why, but I keep on remembering Jet when I speak to him,..." The young Drifter thought, as staring at her ceiling. "They seem so alike..."

As she was thinking of her two friends, she then suddenly remembered something.

"Oh no! I've got to prepare dinner!"

~~~~~~~~~

"She hasn't changed that much..." Adam thought as he seated on the bed he had chosen.

He looked around the guest room. It was kinda like the whole house, biege/peach in color. "I wonder what her room looks like..." He thought out loud, as lying down his head on the soft pillow.

Honestly, it was the first time he had ever been in this house.

'Maybe... if I hadn't left I - - -'

His thoughts got cut off as the door suddenly opened slowly, with a certain brown haired girl peeping in.

"Ah, eh... hehe." She started, as a soft blush tinged to her cheeks. "I've prepared dinner! You can come down anytime you want."

Adam stood up from the bed and nodded. His cloak was still on, and it seemed to Virginia that he wouldn't be taking it off anytime soon. The young girl was supposed to already exit the room, when suddenly her companion's voice stopped her.

"Hey," The young Drifter said, as staring at his feet. "Can I ask you something?"

Virginia entered the room once again, smiled and nodded. "Sure!"

Adam seemed to be thinking of what he was going to say. 'I wanna ask her about Jet... me.' He thought, as still facing his hooded head to the floor. 'But how will I do that without getting noticed? And why do I wanna know?! Man, my mind is farfetched today.'

"Hey, is something wrong?" The young girl asked, breaking him off from his thoughts. "Are you alright?"

The traveler nodded. "I'm ok." He said, as standing up and approaching her. "I forgot what I was gonna ask you. I'll tell you if I remember over dinner."

Virginia smiled. "That's ok." She said, as leading Adam to the dining room.

Adam smiled broadly as he followed behind her. 'I guess I'll have to ask her sooner or later.' He thought, as staring at the young woman in front of him.

'But for now... I'll enjoy my time with her.'

_____________________

I wonder what he was going to ask me?

Hmmm......

He look so preoccupied when I entered his room.

I wonder what he was thinking?

...

Really, I remember Jet when I see him. I don't know why, but they seem to be connected somehow.

...

...

...

This is out of the topic, but, ...I hope the dinner I cooked tastes good.

I really didn't have any formal cooking lessons, so it was my mother who was able to teach me a little before she died, while my aunt taught me how to make regular everyday meals. Special meals were taught to me by Mrs. Winslet. =)

Aaaah... I'm nervous! I wonder why?

Maybe because I'm afraid that my cooking tastes bad, and Adam won't like it.

...

Yeah, I think that's the reason.

Sigh, between the four of us, (Me, Jet, Clive and Gallows) the best in cooking was Jet. Whenever we camped out somewhere, I would always suggest him to cook. I loved his soup! He would only agree sometimes though... oh well. You know his attitude.

There was a time I asked him where he had learned to cook, and he said my father taught him. Hehe, now that's a thing that's really IMPOSSIBLE! My father didn't even know how to cut raddishes, or even open a can! Hehe! Let alone would he know how to cook!

Heh, those were one of the times where in I knew that Jet was lying. I could always see it in his eyes, or in his facial expression. When he lied, he would usually turn away or stutter. And then he would blush, just like when he gets embarrased.

He would really look funny when he did that.

...

...

...

Ok, so, I know, I know. I'm thinking about him again.

It's just that... Adam... he seems so much like Jet that he reminds me of him.

...

Oh well...

"Hey Virginia," Adam said through the silence of their eating. "Who cooked the food?"

Virginia scowled. "Who else?"

The young lad smirked behind his hood and tried to sound clueless. "The girl next door? Who? I can't seem to figure it out."

The female Drifter smiled sarcastically. "Oh, no. I actually went all the way to Mileux in Claiborne just to get some food."

Adam laughed. "I knew it! No wonder the food tastes so good!" He said, as stuffing even more food and rice to his mouth. "This is my favorite meal! I wonder how Mileux knew?"

Virginia pushed Adam playfully in the shoulder. "Oh, whatever! You know I can't get back and forth from Claiborne that fast!" She exclaimed, as laughing. "You're just teasing me 'cause you don't want to admit that I cook good!"

The young boy smiled. "Well, for someone who's only eaten Mushroom soup for 2 years, you can't blame me for saying that you cook good. You never know, I only said that because I was in desperate need for at least an EDIBLE meal."

"Oh, shut up, Adam." Virginia said, as smiling to herself and pushing him again. It was then that she realized it.

"Adam?" The female traveler said, as her hand shook with anxiety because of her realization. "Did you just say that this was your favorite meal?"

From behind his stuffed mouth, Adam managed to blurt out, "Yeah."

Virginia fiddled with her fork before she asked her second question. "And how many years have you eaten Mushroom Soup?"

Adam stopped eating his food for awhile, looked at Virginia and said, (with his face full of rice) "Two."

The dual pistol holder's gaze dropped. '2 years...' She thought, as plucking some of her food and slowly placing it in her mouth. 'This isn't making any sense. Jet loved this meal, Jet loved to cook Mushroom soup (because according to him it was the easiest), and Jet has been gone for 2 years.'

Virginia looked at Adam with confused eyes. 'Why are they so alike? I don't understand...'

The treasure-hunter, noticing his companion's sudden silence, decided to speak up. "Hey Virginia?" He said, as stopping his meal and wiping his mouth. "What's wrong?"

The young lady shook her head without looking at him.

"Hey, are you pissed off because I said you don't cook good? Ok, ok. So I was lying. Cheer up. 'kay?"

Virginia smiled meekly. 'I know you were lying.' She thought, as playing with her food. 'You're a bad liar. Just like he was.'

She was thinking about him again.

And it was all Adam's fault.

'No, no, NO!' The young lady's thoughts screamed, as her eyes welled up with silent tears. 'I don't want to remember Jet now! I don't want to cry!'

Adam noticed Virginia's silence, and his eyes shone with worry as she saw silent crystalline water drops fall from her eyes to her dress. "Hey, Virginia, what's wrong? What's happening? Are you alright?!"

Virginia looked up to him, and he saw that her eyes were indeed welled up with tears. "Adam.... I- I- -" She stuttered, as her fork dropped to the plate and clattered.

The young male Drifter sat in front of her with anticipating eyes. He was ready to listen to whatever she was gonna say.

But suddenly, instead of saying something, the young girl stood up and immediately bolted through the door.

Adam was dazed about what had happened. "Virginia!!" He exclaimed, as following her suit. "What's wrong with her?" He thought out loud, as heading for the one place he knew she would go to.

The cemetary.
