Chapter 4

Jack's POV

Time: 8:49 PM Weather: Cloudy and gloomy

She yelled at me, she yelled at me and then shook my hand....is it okay that I think this girl is a little strange? I mean, she's beautiful and has a mind that's as sharp as a tack, but she's insane!

I lay down on my bed with these types of thoughts zooming around in my mind aimlessly. I want to be her friend, but her temper has a one-millimeter fuse that goes off when I cough the wrong way. I try to help and she shoves me away, but I can't give up so easily. She's probably the type that's insecure, and what's with that locket? Why is it so important? Why is she here alone?

I shook my head to clear it, though how that works I have no idea. I stand up and make my way towards the stove to see leftovers and decide, there's my dinner.

What I need to do is get to know her better somehow...maybe by taking her somewhere, or giving her something...or actually being able to TALK to her...that'd be nice. You know the kind of talk where there's NO YELLING.

I shuffled back over to the bed and sat down carefully, trying not to spill my vegetable soup. I'm not the world's best cook...actually my name and cook probably shouldn't be put in the same sentence, but she still ate my food.

I shook my head for the thousandth time this evening; why did she continue to pop into my head like that? I rolled off the bed after eating my soup and commenced to wash my dishes. Which took a while seeing as how I was completely out of it and a million miles away so to speak.

KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK!

The door rang with several knocks, and I yawned as I walked over to answer it. I didn't think that someone would bother someone else at this time of night. I slowly opened the door to see Muffy standing there; apparently she had decided to take a break from work.

"Hi Jack! How are you?" She asked me in her usual high-pitched voice.

Muffy was an odd one; she was always so giddy and happy, but she was nice. Unlike some people in this village anyway, but I won't think up too many names.

"Fine just a little tired from today." I replied, trying to smile.

She giggled, "Well how about coming with me to get a drink?"

"Err, I guess so...." I stated unsurely.

I'm not one for drinking, but as far as I knew Griffin's drinks weren't alcoholic. Then again I don't trust people who are drunk, so I could hardly trust myself that way either. I've never gotten drunk, but I was tipsy a few times back in the city. I'm completely unable to hold my alcohol, though I can't say that's a bad thing because it taught me not to drink. You can call me a dull person if you want, but I don't go out and party.

"Jack? Yoo hoo!" Muffy called.

"Sorry, kinda spaced out there...yeah let's go." I shook myself from my thoughts again and began walking with her to the Blue Bar.

We pretty much were in complete and utter silence the whole way there, except when she screamed because she though she saw a mouse. It was a lizard, and how you can get a mouse and a lizard mixed up is beyond me.

I couldn't help, however, looking up to a dark window where Nami was staying. She must have gone to sleep when I left, which she should have considering she was still hurt. I should have stayed and made sure she went to sleep...DAMMIT! There I go again! Thinking about her!

"Jack! We're here...you can stop walking now." Muffy said, giggling again.

I had almost walked into the well, and that wouldn't have been good. I turned and gave her a "whoops" smile, but she just giggled some more.

"Come on silly, let's go inside!" And with that comment we went in the bar and met with everyone else.

I swore I wouldn't drink, and I didn't, but at 11 PM I was the only sober one there, and girl's can get pretty scary when they're drunk...well Muffy at least. You would figure someone who works at a bar would be able to hold their liquor, but I guess not everyone can.

"Jack, I swear you are the hottest guy in this whoooole village." The smell of alcohol on her breath was almost unbearable.

"Err, thanks Muffy." I said unsurely.

She hung all over me while the others sang songs, and after listening to about 24 heartbreak songs you begin to contemplate suicide. Muffy wrapped her arms around my neck and smiled at me, this made me way too uncomfortable. Muffy might have been pretty, but let's face it, she's a slut.

I was just about to tug her off my neck when a familiar face opened the door and stepped in.

Nami.

And that small "bond," if you could even call it that, was completely shattered. Well then again why wouldn't it be? She walks in on this scene with 8 drunken people and then the "slut" of the village is hanging all over me! I guess her yelling a few harsh words and giving me an inappropriate hand gesture were all her right.

She stood there for maybe two seconds at the most and stormed out, slamming the door so hard behind her that the pictures in the corner fell and glass shattered everywhere. I couldn't even explain what had happened, and the fact that she jumps to conclusions so much pisses even me off.

"Wonder what her problem is." Muffy hiccupped, and began kissing my neck.

I snapped back to reality and shoved her off; she slightly stumbled back and stood there stunned.

"Slut." I merely stated before racing out the door after Nami.

Nami was almost to the river when I caught up with her. Or kind of caught up, because the moment she heard my footsteps she took off; I'll give it to the girl, she can run.

And I mean run.

She ran up the steep hill that led to the dig site, and I followed, she skirted around the chain link fence and back down the hill, and I followed. She didn't stop running until she tripped and began to fall in the river, and I followed by reaching out my hand and grabbing her's.

Which surprisingly she took in her own tightly; I carefully pulled her up and she rested slightly against my chest. I don't know if she meant to or not, but tears swelled in her eyes and she clung to my shirt tightly. My arms were still lightly draped around her shoulders and I held her tighter.

"Damn you...." She muttered.

I decided to just hold her and let her cry, I didn't need too argue my point, or try and say she was wrong. She just needed to cry for whatever reason it may be, and I wasn't going to ask.

"How could he do that to her!? She was so loyal! She loved him so much and he betrayed their vows!" She raised her head up to face mine.

"Jack how can one person who seems so much in love, backstab his own love? Jack tell me how!" She cried, burying her face in my chest.

I had NO idea of whom she was speaking of, but I figured that was a non-rhetorical question. I sensed her knees growing weak and I held her even tighter, which she didn't seem to mind.

I thought for a moment and whispered in her ear, "Don't worry, I'll catch you."

END CHAPTER 4!!!!!!!!!!
