Jack put Mary's book into his rucksack and sat back down in front of his table. He took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "Well, I guess I should read the others..." He said, grabbing the nearest one. There was nothing special about letter, all it had was his name writing in purple and there was a heart symbol next to him name. He wasn't sure if it was a hint on who it was from, nor did he care. So he opened the letter up and looked at who it was signed off to...
Chapter 3: Family Ties
"Hey, this letter is from Karen..." He said, starting from the top of the letter.
Dear Jack,
So you're going away huh...well...I know I can't stop you or anything, but the least you can do is listen to my reason why you shouldn't go. But first thing is first, your mom is sick? What does she have? Is it serious? ...What am I doing...this is a letter, not a phone call. But seriously, you're going to give up everything that you ever did for your mom? You must love her a lot. Not like me...my parents suck in my opinion....especially my dad.
Why? Because he's a low life push over that's why. I know, it's harsh...but really...he's a man with no real gut. He always let's other people push him over and make him do whatever they want. As his daughter, I'd have to say that I'm ashamed of him. In my mind, he's a real disappointment. And my mom...she also thinks that he's a disappointment.
Why did I mention this? It's because I'm scared of my own future. I mean what if this is what's in store for me? What if this is exact same thing is going to happen to me and that become the mirror image of my own father. Just thinking about it sends chills down my spine. It's...it's scaring the living hell out of me...and for awhile, I didn't know what to do. I thought that if I go to the bar or to the beach at night, it would help me clear my mind. But in reality, all I'm really doing was trying drink all my problems away and trying to escape from the real world. I may look calm and some what mature, but in the inside, I'm withdrawing ...slowly withdrawing trying to find happiness in a family that seems to be heading down the path of despair.
Then one day, when I was at the bar, my best friend Ann gave me some advice. She told me that if I don't want to end up like my parents, then try to find a way to prevent being like them. It was common sense of advice, but it got me thinking. If I want to have a happy life, I need to find someone that is responsible, someone that can be independent but also dependent, and someone that is what most girls want in a guy, kind, nice, and caring...but to find someone like this is like one hundred thousand to one...or at least those were the numbers until you came.
I remember when you came; I was like "heh, yeah right...some chump is going to inherit and dead farm? I wouldn't hold my breath..." But I guess you're the one that has the last laugh. You proved most of the people here wrong, including me, and for it, I gave my utmost respect for you. Another thing I remember is when you stood up for the store when you first came. How you told the doctor to pay for his item and not letting him leave...that took guts, especially from someone that's out of town and is new to the village. But you didn't care; you stood up because you knew it was the right thing to do. It was really noble of you...and I admired that. And your animals look so happy when they are around you, like they know that they are going to be treated with care and love. And you always in those festivals. Every year it's always your animals that end up at the top.
Heh, you know, now that I think about it...responsibility, independence, love, and care...all of those things that in my mind make the perfect husband, are in you. They are in you Jack. You're my ideal man. It's not because I want to avoid being like my parents anymore...it's because I want to live my life with someone that I know will take care of me. I love you Jack, I love you with all my heart. But you're going away, and now I'm not sure what I'm going to do again...
But hey, when you come back to Mineral Village, come drop by at the supermarket first will you? You don't know how much it would mean to me, knowing that you came back.
I'll be waiting for your arrive Jack, and I'll be the one throwing confetti when you boat leaves...
Love,
Karen
Jack let out a sigh and then looked back at the remaining three letters. "Ok...three down, three more..."
End of Chapter 3

The finishing line up will go as follows: Elli, Ann, and the third letter. Who wore the third letter? Heh, that's me to know and you to find out! Until next time!
