Loveless

Chapter 5

Griffin's POV

Today was another day of work at the Bar. It was more difficult to get costumers because Muffy was gone. I think they just came for her anyway. Only a few people come now like: that hippie, Marlin, and… Jack. To tell the truth, I feel sorry for the kid. Breaking up right before you get married, that's tough. I decided to go check the mail.

"Let's see what we have."

There was only one letter, and it was from…. Muffy.

"Oh man."

Jack's POV

Griffin told me to meet him at the Blue Bar; I wonder why? When I got there I saw no one but Griffin and he had a serious look on his face.

"Jack, I need to talk to you."

"What's the matter Griffin?"

"Yesterday, I got a letter from … Muffy."

"Really?! Does it tell you where she went?"

"Well, I'll just let you read it for yourself."

Griffin handed me the letter and I started to read.

Dear Griffin,

I've never been so happy in my life! My new home is very extravagant! I live in a seaside mansion with my fiancé, Victor. He's very rich and we're going to have a great life together! Better than the life I was going to have with that country hick Jack. Actually the reason I broke up with him is that I met Victor while Jack and I were engaged. We just fell in love and I left Jack to be with Victor. I chose to tell you because you were like a father to me. I know you're proud of me, but don't tell anyone okay? Thanks.

Yours Truly,

Muffy

"I-I can't believe this." I was shocked, Muffy was this kind of person?

"I'm sorry Jack."

"Don't worry about it, but why did you tell me?"

"Because I felt that you had a right to know."

"Thanks Griffin."

I left the Blue Bar. I could always count on Griffin; he was a real friend. I think it's better to forget about Muffy anyway. If she was that kind of person, then I don't need her.

Marlin's POV

I was going to ask Celia out again to show Jack that he can't take Celia. When I saw Celia, she had a worried look on her face.

"What's wrong Celia?" I asked.

"Jack thinks we're dating. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Not really. I think he has the right idea."

"What are you talking about Marlin?" Celia said with a confused face.

"Hey Celia! Come here for a second!" Vesta said.

"Coming Vesta!"

'Thanks a lot Vesta. You ruined my chance to confess to Celia.'

Celia ran over to the field where Vesta was. That's when I saw him. He was coming to buy seeds for Summer no doubt.

"Hey Vesta! Hey Celia!" He said.

"Hey Jack!" Vesta said in her husky voice.

"Hi Jack!" Celia said with her angelic voice.

He didn't say anything to me. He was probably afraid of me.

"Marlin, what's with that smug look?" Vesta asked.

"Huh? Uh, nothing. Wait, wasn't Jack supposed to be buying seeds from you Vesta?"

"I was busy with my plants so I told him to buy them from Celia."

Oh great. Now another chance to talk to Celia has been taken away from me. Do you want to keep her away from me Vesta!?

Vesta's POV

Good, my plan is working. I was going to get Celia and Jack together. Before Muffy came in the picture I thought Celia and Jack liked each other, but I guess I was wrong. I know Celia still likes him, but I don't know how he feels. That's why I'm going to help them get together, but there's just one problem: Marlin.

Jack walked over to me.

"Okay Vesta, I need—,"

"Sorry Jack, but I'm too busy with my vegetables to help you right now. Go ask Celia."

"Oh, okay."

I was going to get them to talk to each other and maybe something would happen. That's when I noticed Marlin; he had a smug look on his face. I walked over to him and asked him.

"Marlin, what's with the smug look?" He was startled when he saw me, but then regained his composure.

"Huh? Uh, nothing. Wait, wasn't Jack supposed to be buying seeds from you Vesta?"

I knew he probably wanted to talk to Celia.

"I was busy with my plants so I told him to buy them from Celia."

He had this scowl on his face; I chose to ignore him. I turned to Celia and Jack to see what they were doing. Jack already had the seeds he needed, but they were still talking. Great!

"Vesta! We're going for a walk!" Celia said.

'Oh yes! My plan is working perfectly!'

"That's fine! Make sure you come home!" I said.

"W-what?" I heard someone whisper from behind me.

I turned and saw Marlin with his head down. Sorry Marlin, but this is Celia and Jack's story, and you're not part of it.

Celia's POV

Jack walked to me and asked for vegetable seeds. I don't know why, but I have a feeling that people around me are plotting things and it has something to do with me and Jack.

"You want to hang out? Like the old days?" Jack suddenly asked.

"What do you mean old days? It's not like we're childhood friends or something like that."

"I mean we haven't been hanging out as much as we used to."

"Oh. Well sure! I'd love to! Just let me tell Vesta."

"Okay."

"Vesta! We're going for a walk!" I said.

Vesta had a big smile on her face.

"That's fine! Make sure you come home!"

After that, Jack and I left. He told me he needed to go back to the farm to plant his seeds and I told him I'd help.

"Great! Since you know so much about plants and you're helping me, they'll be high quality!" Jack said with excitement.

"Not really." I said.

"Why not?"

"Because Vesta only sells B quality seeds, and she doesn't want anyone's crops to be better than hers."

"That's pretty messed up." He was clearly disappointed.

"You could say that." All I could do at that moment was laugh. I couldn't help it! He was just so funny to me.

"What's so funny!" He must have mood swings. First he was happy, then sad, and now mad.

"Y-you are!" I said in between laughs.

"Guess you're right." Then we both started laughing. Did I tell you that we were standing right on the bridge? So anyone who passed by would think that we were crazy.

"Enough of that. We should get going." Jack suddenly said.

What's with him and changing his mood every five minutes?

"You know, Griffin got a letter from Muffy yesterday." Jack said.

"Really? Do you know what it said?"

"It said that she was engaged to some rich guy and was living in a mansion with him. She also said that I was a 'country hick' and that she has a better life with him than she would ever have with me."

There was no hint of sadness in his voice at all. How was he feeling right now?

"Oh my, I'm so sorry."

"No need to be. It's not your fault. I don't need her anyway."

He didn't seem sad at all. It's like he never loved her.

"To tell the truth, I don't think I was in love with her at all. I think I was just infatuated; I thought I was in love."

"I see."

I couldn't believe Muffy! Now I really hate her. She left Jack just for money!

"That's the spirit Jack! Forget about her; it's the best thing to do." I said, trying to cheer him up.

"Right Celia."

For the rest of the day, Jack and I just hung out. We went to his farm first and planted seeds. After that, we walked around the valley and talked to people along the way. Then, after a long day, he took me home.

"It was a nice day Celia."

"Yeah, likewise."

"Well, see ya later."

"Bye."

I waved to him as he walked off. Just staying by his side makes me happy. I went inside with a smile on my face. Suddenly, Marlin and Vesta started bombarding me with questions.

"So Celia, how did it go?" Vesta asked.

"W-wha—,"

"It was probably horrible since she was with him right?" Marlin interrupted.

"W-well--,"

"It was great. Right Celia?" Vesta asked again.

"NO! It wasn't!"

"YES! It was!"

I couldn't get a word out because Vesta and Marlin were arguing about how my day went. This was going to be a long night.
