Okay, so its been awhile sense I have updated. It may not seem like it to you reviewers, but it was for me. Well heres Chapter 4
Chapter 4
I love Napanee at this time of year. It makes you feel like if you were to stay all your problems and your past would go away. I think that what I have done is for the best, but some other part of me thinks that I have made the worse possible choice. I know I haven't been here long enough to really look into their hearts, but I know that what ever choice I make in the future will be the right one.
I went into town with the family for Sunday Sabath. The streets were like any plain streets I have seen. Along the sidewalks there were tourists farther than the eye could see. I don't know who told me this, but someone said that the Amish communities were always full of tourtists because they thought our ways different and interesting. I never even heard of that before, but the only reason I think that is because where I lived we were very isolated. You couldn't see our farm from the dirt road because pines hid it. Our farm house however is nothing like the Longacre's farm house. My farm house is particularly small and only had four bedrooms. The Longacre's farm house had at least eight rooms and it took the whole family to run it.
Church was nice. I haven't been to church ever sense my dad died. It was nice to see people rest and pray, but it was uncomfortable on those benches. After church the family went home to have a big home cooked meal.
Ethan and I have spoken alot lately. We now have a secreat spot where we go to be alone. He took me to the secreat place that night after dinner. Yeah, so we spoke about some things before we left the barn, but most of the time we spent the night under the stars. I can remember as if it was last week, in a sense that's true.
I just excused myself after helping Tillie with the dishes and walked out onto the porch as if I was going to have another walk around the property. But instead I walked quietly over to the barn. I opened the barn door just a crack to see what was happening inside. I could see there was a lantern and a shadow pacing the barn floor. Then the door swung open and the shadow pulled me in so fast that I couldn't get the description of who it was. I don't know why I thought it was someone else because Ethan was the only one who invited me to the barn. After being jerked from the spot by the barn door I took a step back to straighten my ruffled dress. I felt a little dizzy, but knew that it would soon disappear because butterflies arised in my stomach. I looked up into his piercing blue eyes to find him smiling and walking towards me.
"I have waited for you, Leah," he said with a glint of hope in his voice.
"And I you," I said smiling. We talked about everything that had happened that day. We talked about dinner and how everyone liked the meal I had prepared. Then he chose a different subject and I didn't really want to talk about. He asked me questions like,"Why don't you talk about your family," and "Are you you here to stay for the rest of you days." I found the last question quite odd. Not only because it seemed he wanted me to say yes, but because I couldn't answer it with the truth or with a lie. I think Ethan saw that I was uncomfortable with that particular subject because next thing you know he is grabbing my arm and leading me out of the barn.
"Where are we going," I asked in a excited, but yet nervous voice.
"It's a suprise," he said with the biggest smile on his face. It didn't take us long to get there, but I think we walked half a mile before stopping in front of a small pond that had wild flowers growing every where. Even though it was dark you could tell that when it was light out that it was beautiful. As I looked around at everything I was aware that Ethan was staring at me. I looked at him the way he was looking at me, with a big smile and a gleam in my eye. As we just looked at each other in the eye his hand came up from his side to caress my cheek, he then bent down to give me a kiss. After the sweet and tender kiss was finished I layed my head on his shoulder and we watched the sky. Looked at the twinkling stars. We ended up staying until one in the morning in now what was called our secreat hiding place. I guess you could say that was the meeting at the "barn".
I was tired, but I wanted to see if Ethan had left something in our hiding space. I walked at a pace that would make people suspicious. Okay, maybe I ran and that really made people suspicious. We couldn't meet at night because the night we spent under the stars affected Ethan's work out in the fields and his father started asking questions. So to play it safe he would write a letter and put in the hole of a pine tree. Let's just say I know how Ethan writes and when he does write he isn't very thorough and just isn't the same as in person. But I thought when I got there I would get the note read it, stay awhile, and then head back to the Longacre property. It didn't end up that way at all. I read the note he wrote over and over until I drifted off to sleep, it read:
Leah,
I miss talking to you and looking at you. It seems like forever sense we have been alone together. I miss you and hope to see you alone soon.
Yours Truely,
Ethan
I woke up and I could here the birds chirping and the sun was in the center of the sky telling me that it was twelve o' clock. My heart started to race because I might get kicked out because I'm irresponsible. I got up and started to run. Then this is what I remember, there must of been a log in front of me because I fell and everything went black.
Cliff hanger, but all well! I sorta think this chappie was sucky, but give me your feed back!
