This chapter is a good one; it's so sad even I was crying as I typed it. I made this chapter extra long because I am going on a four week holiday. Well enjoy!
Chapter 7
Spring 7
This morning I woke up feeling miserable, I must visit Oliver to explain. I mean I screamed at his girlfriend, he disserves to know why. I feel like I've been stabbed in the heart. Losing Oliver is like losing something important something really close. It's just like my parents.
"What's going on?" said Muffy. Mum walked over to me and picked me up. "Muffy me and your father have decided to split up. But you get to pick who you want to live with. Me, your father or your uncle Griffin in Forget Me Not Valley" said mum. "you mummy" said Muffy.
If I'd have chosen dad he never would have gotten hurt. The accident was so hard to get over; I suppose I should tell you about it.
I was sat in the living room playing, the phone rang my mum answered it. She put the phone down and started crying, I hugged her. "Mummy what's wrong?" said Muffy. We when to the hospital, we found out he was in a car accident.
I guess I should start to write what happened to day.I woke up feeling lonely, everything felt dark. It's a bright sunny day but it feels like, when you're alone in a dark room in the middle of the night. You walk across the room thinking you know the way well and you bump into something the shock, the fear that it's something evil. That's how I feel right now. Like apart of me has died.
Well I began work Celia visited to have a chat, and drink some moo milk. I was glad to see her; she told me something which cheered me up a little. "Well I got told by Nami that her and Oliver are not boyfriend and girlfriend" said Celia. I decided the childish games had gone on for to long; I'm going to swallow my pride and talk to him.
As I walked to the farm it felt cold which was odd late spring and it's cold. Oliver's stood near the barn he sees me, I walk towards him heart beating faster and faster. "Muffy I was about to come looking for you" said Oliver. "Really" said Muffy. We both walked to the beach I explain everything, why I snapped at Nami, the way I feel about him, how stressed I am. It seemed the more I talked the more he listened. "Muffy I do like you it's just I'm not ready to date yet. I do have one year to get married but that doesn't mean I should marry the first pretty girl I see. Marriage is forever." Said Oliver, then he walked away I stand here watching the love of my life walk away from me.
As soon as I get back to the blue bar there's a letter for me on the counter. The handwriting looks like my mothers, my hands tremble as I open the envelope. What was written in the letter is so upsetting I can't believe mother would write that.
Dear Muffy
I have just found out you live in Forget Me Not Valley, how come you didn't tell me? When your father died I promised him you wouldn't move in with your uncle. Then you go and defy me, Muffy I don't want you to come back ever.
Mother
All I did was move in with my uncle! What's wrong with that? Well forget about her this is a new life for me. Even though she mentions father when he died it's still clear in my mind.
He was in hospital lying in the bed, with all the tubes attached to him, it looked like he was covered in snakes. I could still see his eyes shining as bright as the sunny sky outside. "Muffy bee no one but you could love me now" he'd say. I would giggle and say "you're the handsomest". Mother had took me to the café to get some hot chocolate. As I finished it a nurse walked over to us, she seemed slightly upset. "I'm afraid you husband is dead" said the nurse. Mother cried so much, she always loved him.
To this day I can't drink hot chocolate, In case I lose someone close. My father was a kind man, just like Oliver. Losing someone close is like walking up the stairs in the middle of the night, and thinking there's one more step than there is, and the shock of your foot falling through the air.
I continued working behind the bar it was quiet, only the usual people. I wonder what Oliver's doing now, if he's thinking about me, if he does want to marry me. I don't regret slapping him though. To me he will always be that shy guy at the party that asked me to dance.
