A/N: This is chapter four. Nothing else to say.
Chapter 4: Oh, Crap
The next few days were so darn boring, that it wasn't even funny. All I did was plant/harvest crops, and care for Lightning and Chip. Oh yeah, I also got a chicken named Cherry and I put one of her eggs in the incubator. I should probably be able to get a cow by fall. One day I got so bored, that I went down to the beach to get a breath of fresh, salty air. I stared at the sea and remembered the night that Rodger broke up with me. We were at the port of the city we lived in. He pushed me into the ocean after breaking up with me. I closed my eyes and inhaled deeply. All of a sudden, without warning, a pair of lips was pressed against mine. My eyes snapped open to see who was doing this. It was Kai. I heard a gasp from behind me. I pulled away and turned around to see an angry Cliff running away with tears in his eyes. I turned and angrily looked at Kai.
"What were you doing?" I asked him.
"Just giving the girl of my dreams some sugar." He calmly replied.
I shook my head and turned to catch up with Cliff. But before I could leave, Kai tightly gripped my arm.
"Uh-uh. You ain't going nowhere." He said to me.
"What are you doing?" I shouted at him.
"I want you to be my girlfriend." He told me. "If you don't, I can go get my gun and shoot you. Or better yet, shoot Cliff. I am going to go get my gun, and I want you to tell Cliff that you really are going out with me. If you don't, I'll shoot."
"You're terrible!" I told him with a tinge of fear in my voice.
"It's what I have to do to get you as my girlfriend." He replied with usual calmness.
He let go of me and ran into his house. I slowly trudged off to find Cliff. I thought about the places he might be. He could be at the Church, the Inn, or someplace that I wouldn't have guessed. I checked the Church---no Cliff. I checked the Inn---no Cliff. After a while, I finally checked the Goddess Spring---he was here. He was sitting on a rock by the edge of the water with his elbows on his knees and his chin in his hands. I walked over to him.
"Hey Cliff." I said as I sat down.
"Oh, hi Amy." He replied with sarcasm and little cheeriness. "I'm sorry for running like that. It would be best to give you an explanation. You see, at the party when I was asked to tell who I had a crush on, I couldn't because I was too unhappy. I actually had a crush on you. I was just unhappy that you didn't like me too. I saw you kiss Kai and I just broke down. I'm sorry. I should let you love who you want to. But, is it really true?"
I heard a rustle behind me. I looked over my shoulder and saw Kai looking at me seriously with his revolver in hand. I bit my lip. My mind went blank. I didn't know what to say.
"Well…I…" I nervously stated.
I couldn't think of what to say. Should I tell the truth or should I lie? If I tell the truth, Kai is going to shoot Cliff or me. If I lied, Cliff would be so unhappy and I would be stuck going out with someone I didn't love.
Oh, crap. I thought to myself.
A/N: Yes, I know. The chapter is very short than the rest. I wanted to leave it at a cliffhanger. Anyways, please, please, please review! They encourage me to write more. Thanks again for reading this!
