Chapter 5 Betrayal
Angela POV –
I awoke at about 6am, like usual. I made breakfast for myself and ate it, pretty quickly. Once I had finished doing my usual chores inside, I left, to do….obviously my outdoor chores. Once I had finished them, I went back inside to have a shower and change, ready for my daily rounds around town.
I had changed and left, with my rucksack full of stuff, mainly for Evan. I walked near Gill's house when I saw something. Something that pierced my heart. Luna and Gill, kissing! I immediately left, right afterwards, no matter how stupid it looked. I ran with tears in my eyes. I didn't care about how many people I bumped into, who I clearly remembered was Julius, Chase, Kathy and Owen, holding jewellery, a type of pudding, some berries and a few pieces of copper ore, respectively. They had shocked faces, not because of their products ruined, but mainly because of her distressed mood. I ran back inside my house and sat there, crying. To keep myself occupied, I cooked some new recipes that she learnt from Chase, attempted sowing, which I learnt from Candace and ultimately failed and read a novel of her mother's. Once I had done all of the things, I heard someone knock on her door. It felt like a video game to me, since someone had knocked, after I had done all of her things. When I opened it, she saw Evan and Luna.
"Hello dear. What's up?" I said, completely ignoring Luna.
"Nothing. Dad made me go back home." He said, smiling, like he always did.
"Hey, what about me?" Luna shouted. I motioned Evan to go inside. Once he was out of sight, I took a deep breath, muttered something regretfully, quietly of course and slapped Luna, right on her cheek before shutting the door in her face. I shut the door, stumbling back to my own room, and sitting there, sobbing. A few moments later, I heard a knock on the door, not the outside door but my door. I wearily went to the door and opened it. There was my sunshine, Evan.
"Mum? What's going on?" he said, rubbing his eyes. He still had his pyjamas on.
"…..Nothing, dear. Go back to sleep."
"…Is it Luna's fault?" he said all of the sudden. I froze.
"I'll take that as a yes, well I'm going back to sleep." He continued on, shutting the door and returning back to his room. I sat on my bed, sobbing, actually crying myself to sleep.
I awoke the next morning, about half an hour later than usual. When I got up, I saw a glimpse of something. Some brown hair on the farm. I knew Matt had brown hair, but I didn't know he would wake up this early to play with Evan. Then it hit me. It was Evan. I made some breakfast and went outside, taking both plates with me.
"Ev! I got you breakfast!" I shouted, while he was watering the many plants I had. Immediately he turned around with a smile on his face.
"Hi mum! Are you feeling better?" he said, dropping the assumed empty watering can.
"I'm fine. Why are you doing the farm work" I asked, since this was a peculiar scene.
"You wouldn't wake up, so I decided to do some of the farm work for you." He said, smiling while stuffing his face with the food.
"Well, do you mind if you ask if you can stay over with Phoebe?" I said, thinking that this was the best thing to do.
"I don't mind. I'll go ask Heath now. Can you come and send up my stuff?" he asked, a shine appearing in his eyes.
"Sure." I said, before inwardly groaning at the fact that I had to go to the General Store, walking past Gill's house.
"Ev, I'm sorry for doing this to you, it's just I think it's the best for you." I continued on.
"No problems. I've always wanted to go and spend time for a sleepover at Heath's." he said smiling. He left while I packed his things. Once he came back and gave me the all clear, he left to go to Brownie Ranch to play with Matt. I got his sleepover bag and walked to the general store.
"Hello Angela." I heard. I immediately knew who it was and jumped. I turned around, dropped the bag gently and looked at him in the eye.
"Ange-" He started but I stopped him right in his track, no, not with a kiss but rather a slap right on the cheek. I felt tears building up in my eyes, ready to burst at any moment. He screamed with pain and I picked up the bag and ran right to the general store.
"Hello Angela. How may-" Barbara started but then saw my face. She had a distraught look on her face and I tried to smile, but failed. (epic failure music)
"You must be here to send over Evan's stuff, am I wrong?" a voice spoke straight to me.
"Yes. Hello Calvin." I said, trying to pull of the best fake smile that I can conjure, but to no avail. I failed, yet again. (epic failure music, twice as loud) Mental note to self, never attempt to look like your fine.
"Well you can place his things in Heath's room then I they can sort it out from there." He said, taking his hat from the desk and placed it on his head. I left and went back to my place at Caramel River District. When I entered, I saw Gill at my door, knocking, so I left and took the long way, through Maple Lake District and entering through the secret entrance at the back of my house. Once I was inside, I opened the door quite reluctantly to find, like I was supposed to, Gill standing there.
"Why didn't you answer the door?" he asked bitterly.
"Well, Gilbert. One, is that I was taking a nap and another reason was because I don't want to talk to a traitor like you." I said, venomously, emphasising his full name. It was quite evident that he was shocked, since he cringed at this full name and made a smug look on his face.
"And, you know what? Don't you even come here again. You go off kissing Luna and you don't even apologize? What kind of bastard are you? A cheater?" I said, really pissed off. He paled slightly.
Matt: Hello readers! The author didn't want to write an authors note, so she asked some of the Harvest Moon characters to do it for her!
Heath: Review if possible coz you'll get something from.....Gill
Gill: *sigh*
Evan: Don't worry Matt, I can replace him.
Matt: Are you sure?
Evan: Sure. Hi peeps! I'm Evan and this is the author's friends (cough cough) saying goodbye and happy reading...I'll give you a hug? Or maybe some cookies? (C'mon dad, get better so you can do this and I can go!!!!!)
