Jack made soup and it was getting cold. He was waiting patiently for the girl to wake up and enjoy her soup. He hoped he could get some answers out of her after she had something to eat. He watched her sleep in his clothes. He was embarrassed when he striped her of her own bloody clothes but he really didn't have much of a voice.

She seems so peaceful and, dare I even think it…beautiful. She was very pretty with her orange hair. He had never fallen in love before and thought the only life for him was a bachelor farmer's one. He shrugged the thought away as she rolled over.

"Hi." The girl said as she sat up. "Wow… My head stopped hurting."

"Hungry?" Jack asked. The girl nodded her head and Jack happily sprung up from the couch, went over to the stove and grabbed the soup he had prepared for her. He wanted to see if he was a good cook. He got a spoon and walked as fast as he could over to his bed without spilling the soup. He shoved the bowl and spoon into the girls hands and she almost spilt. "Sorry." Jack apologized as he rubbed the back of his neck nervously. Ann nodded and quietly ate her soup. She didn't respond in any way or say anything like "yummy" or "good soup". She just ate it. Jack was puzzled but watched her eat when finally the girl spoke.

"What are you, a stalker? Why are you watching me eat?" The girl glared at Jack.

"Oh uh...sorry." Jack turned away from his guest and went to the shelves. He grabbed a flower and put it in the vase that was on his dresser. The girl watched him, he could feel her painful eyes on his back as he watered the flower. He turned around and smiled at the girl. She had finished the soup. She almost smiled back as he took the bowl and spoon from her lap. "So, who are you?" Jack asked as he cleaned the dishes.

"Oh no, my turn for questions." The girl responded. Not the answer Jack was expecting. He shrugged. "First," The red-head began. "What time is it?" Jack checked his watch.

"Ten to." He blankly stated. The girl rolled her eyes.

"Ten to what?" She sighed.

"Oh right sorry...again." Jack was terrible around people. "Ten to two."

"Okay, thank you." The girl said in an annoyed tone. "Number two, who are you? I've never seen you in Mineral Town before."

"Oh. My name is Jack Polden." Jack gloated. The girl rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "And I've moved here from the city to take over the farm. I just arrived two days ago. I got here just that night when you….yah." Jack's voice squeaked. He blushed.

"I was out for two days!" The girl almost screamed. Jack nodded. "And we're on the farm?" Jack nodded again. "Okay…" Ann regained her saneness and asked one more question. "Number three. What am I wearing!" Jack blushed even more, his cheeks turning a dark shade of scarlet.

"Well uh, your other clothes were bloody and wet and teary. I didn't want you to get sick so I uh…-gulp-. You see." Jack stuttered.

"Okay I get it." The girl's harsh face softened into a sweet smile. "My name is Ann. Thank you." Ann extended her hand and Jack shook it firmly.

"Nice to meet you Ann. May I ask you some questions now?"

"Sure. Shoot."

"What happened to the doctor? I remember the clinic when I passed it but it looked abandoned." Ann thought for a moment, as if calling up a faint memory from the back of her mind.

"Oh. Poor Doctor. In just the beginning of spring, Doctor and Elli, since their married now, had to move out of town because the clinic wasn't earning them enough money to support their new family. They have a beautiful baby girl. Looks like Elli." Ann smiled.

"Okay, so no medical clinic?" Ann shook her head. "Okay then, I'll have to look after you until your better. Allright?" Ann shook her head again. "What?" Jack answered, shocked by Ann's gesture.

"There's really no need." Ann mumbled. "I don't need to live, I don't deserve to life and I don't want to live." Jack had to lean in closer in order to hear Ann speak but when he realized what she had just said he almost fainted.

"What the hell are you talking about?" Jack screamed, raising his arms in the air. "Why wouldn't you want to live! Your young! You have so much to live for!" Ann thought about this.

"My dad hates me. He'll find me eventually and kill me, like he wanted to before." Ann's voice trailed off then she looked straight at Jack. "My heart is broken, my body is broken and my spirit it broken. I just don't have the will to live." Jack's heart sank.

"But Ann…" Jack began but Ann cut him off.

"Look Jack, it was nice of you to help me, but it would have been better if you would have let me fall." Ann looked angry. "I. Don't. Want. To. Live." Ann said slowly, making sure that Jack would understand. Worry and tears flushed to Jack's eyes. He could only hope that the red-headed guest wouldn't notice.

"Well, okay then…" Jack said. "What are you going to do now then?" Jack asked with interest.

"Leave of course. Maybe climb a tree and purposely fall off, or jump the river. You know, there's always the mountain." Ann listed off the ways that she could kill herself on her fingers. She finished counting before adding the others that she had thought of such as; stabbing, beating, cutting or shooting. Ann tried to get up by pushing her hands into the mattress but she heard a crack and yelped in pain. She fell back onto the bed. Jack had turned and was investigating the fridge but as soon as he heard Ann scream he whipped back around to face her.

"What happened?" Jack asked quickly as he rushed over to the bed while grabbing a first aid kit on his way.

"Augh." Ann shook her head. "I don't…know." Ann said between harsh breaths. "Gah!" She cried.

"Mind if I help a bit before you leave?" Jack said with a smile, showing Ann the first aid kit. He winked which made Ann giggle. Why am I giggling? He's not even funny.

"Fine." Ann sighed, regaining her composure. Jack moved closer to the bed and Ann slowly inched away and ran into the wall. "What're you gunna' do?" Ann asked nervously. She wasn't sure if she trusted him. The only men in her life had hurt her. Why did I eat that soup! It could have been poisoned! Ann started to panic. "Get away from me you freak!" Ann yelped. Jack stopped dead in his tracks.

"Ann...I think I have something that might belong to you…" Jack placed the first aid kit on the table behind him and reached into his pocket. Ann flinched and closed her eyes. "Please Ann, don't be afraid. Please look." Jack pleaded. Ann opened her eyes slowly then realized what Jack was holding.

"My pages!" She squealed. Ann's face filled with delight and surprise. Jack walked over to Ann and handed her the pages.

"I uh, picked them up before I caught you…" Jack mumbled. He smiled at Ann. "Trust me?" He asked, picking the first-aid kit up again. Ann nodded as she placed her precious diary pages, containing all her feelings, onto the bedside table. "Uh…You might have to… Uh..." Jack stuttered. "Um…remove your clothes…heh…" Jack blushed.

"Oh…right. I don't mind." Ann smiled and also blushed. Jack closed his eyes, turned around and covered them with his free hand. Ann giggled and removed the clothes she was wearing. Ann gasped as she realized she didn't have her undergarments either. "Oh well…" Ann rolled her eyes. "Okay." Jack turned and almost fell over. He coughed nervously and then got to work, bandaging Ann's wounds and bruises. He put casts on the broken limbs, covered the deep cuts and put disinfectant almost on her whole body. He blushed the whole time.
