Misunderstandings
How it started
Jacks p.o.v
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I waited for Ann to scold me shifting my weight so I wouldn't drop the dumb ass on my shoulder. I stood there waiting for it, eyes closed, but nothing came. I popped open an eye to see what was going on, only to witness one of Ann's 'moments'. Glomping the silver haired man which through conversation I learned was named Saibrara screaming
"Grandpa!" and nearly splitting the guy in half. He shot the 'help me' look while speaking,
"It's nice to see you too Ann" then I piped up trying to help the man
"Ann I think you're gonna break the poor guy, could you put him down?" Ann forgot I was there then remembered why she came to do in the first place.
"Jacklin you should know better than to just walk off" she started wagging her finger like a parent scolding their child.
"You're lucky I'm such a good friend, I went and got Gotz to do the expansion and," she stopped. Looked at my shoulder, her eyes went wide
"Hey what happened to gray?!" pointing at my shoulder, I went scarlet seeing it was my uncontrollable rage that caused this; I looked down then began shuffling my feet. Saibara noticed how uncomfortable that made me and snorted
"She was teach'in gray a lesson, he deserved it." Ann examined gray up on my shoulder, wondering why her brother was there acting as if he was sleeping; then she saw his face. His nose wasn't broken, but bleeding some; his face was bruised and he had scratches on his face. In shock Ann question
"What did he do for you to do this to him?" I sighed and looked up at the setting sun
"I'll tell you later, first we need to get this guy to a doctor." I replied as if dreading it, and then started walking. I was surprised at how fast Saibara could run as I witnessed another one of Ann's moments. Even though you couldn't see them he had fear in his eyes as Ann chased him from the forest to my new farm. I was a little slower than the two because the guy known as gray on my shoulder and now he was snoring; quite loudly if I do say so myself.
I looked at the farmhouse and couldn't believe it was the same place. I was only at the shipping bin when looked up; the house was beautiful! I put gray down next to the bin and sprinted towards the house to see a man with rugged hair all over his head, a sweat drenched shirt and baggy blue pants.
"I'm sorry I wasn't there to pay for the cost of construction, you have no need to worry I'll pay it now" Jack said flustered now reaching for the sack the mayor gave her, but it wasn't there. Now frantic, she spun around looking, the carpenter laughed,
"If your look'in for a purple sack Ann already gave it to me. Here" he handed me my sack back, I opened it and furrowed my brow. The house was huge and beautiful, but almost all of my money was there; it had a porch and a second level
"Did you take the cost out of here, there's so much left?" I asked dumbly. Gotz turned around and chuckled, then rubbed my head.
"Yeah, you also had lumber in the shed so I used that for the house" pointing towards the lumber shed
"Oh yeah I just remembered" his voice now sounding a bit embarrassed
"It won't be finished till morning so you'll have to stay at the inn" I had only remembered then that gray was still there and told Gotz I had to go.
This time I had gray on my back, quickly making it to the clinic; last time she was there it was right before she got sick. Dr. Hardy and his apprentice had given her stitches from her come in with a dog. She huffed then opened the clinic door
"Dr. Hardy are you here?" she called, but no one answered, she sighed then carried him over to bed behind the curtains and began looking for someone, or at least some bandages. She left the room and headed towards the stairs, no one was up there
"Goddess is this place deserted or something?" she complained to no one in mind. She searched around for first aid kit until she found one; then began putting antibiotic on the scratches. On the side of his face there was a gash 'I really lost my temper in this one' she cleaned it then used a special glue to bind it then a butterfly bandage to keep it in place. I got ice in one of those special bags and sat down on the bed. I took his hat off to see if there were other injuries and then it happened.
Grays p.o.v
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I was in the cave ignoring my grandfather as usual when I dropped my flashlight. I didn't hear or see the old man so I squinted around to find my flashlight when something hit me. I grunted whatever it was it was heavy. It must've been a who because they got up and extended a hand. I took it pulling myself up, then replied coldly
"You need to watch were your going." I didn't hear a response and that irritated me so I poked them
"What are you doing in the mines, its dangerous" I replied, no answer so I poked them again
"Okay, that's it!" I heard the person call, I had never heard that voice and asked myself 'who the hell is this guy' at that moment grandpa flashed me and this guy, and at first I saw a girl. She looked like Popuri except she was in a frilly dress and had longer brown hair. I blinked then heard grandpa say
"Gray what are you doing" then saw a guy my height wearing a green and black sweater then everything went black.
"Gray wake up."Called a girlish voice. I peeped through I eye, then opened the other, I felt a breeze by, cool air passing my scalp, what?!
"Were's my hat?" he thought aloud. 'Wait what's wrong with my voice' gray covered his mouth than herd 2 girls giggling. He looked up to see the girl in the mine with another girl who had a familiar face to him. Then they latched onto him, shaking him one yelling "Ann what do we do, what do we do?" the girl with the curly hair, and frilly dress questioned the red head "I don't know, wanna play doctor?" she grinned evilly 'that's defiantly Ann but who's she?' I got up and saw that the other girl was gone and Ann was running.
"Why me?" gray groaned aloud when he was knocked on the floor by the cheerful girls. "I think we might have hurt him" the brunette voiced while covering her mouth. "This guy isn't hurt that easily" the redhead called slapping the back of his head. "Just let me check" the brunette piped up getting close to his face running her fingers over his face, "I don't think he's hurt ,but we have to see under that hat" her hand just prying the hat off , 'wait my hat?' Gray questioned moving closer and tapping the bill of his cap.
At that moment grays eyes opened and felt something against his face. Whoever it was, was extremely red, then stepped back and began apologizing. Gray noticed who it was and before he could say anything a sharp pain panged trough the side of his head and the guy was running out the door. It took gray a minute to realize that he had just kissed that guy, and as if on cue, Trent walked in. "That guy wasn't kidding when he said he knocked you a new one" he examined my face making 'hmm's' and 'ahh's', "goddess I hate it when doctors do that!" I groaned internally. "Can I go now?" I asked coldly as he let go of my face. "I was going to clean up your cuts, but whoever it was that brought you here already did" Trent stared wide eyed at his face. "What's wrong with you stop looking at my face!" gray barked
"Whoever that person was must've had medical experience by the way they put these on the gash" he said soullessly tracing his finger down the bandage and sealed skin.

'Oh god! What the hell just happened?' I screamed at myself mentally as I walked out the clinic doors. Bam! 'Not again' I groaned extending my hand out to the guy I knocked on the floor, he took my hand and got up; dusted himself off than asked why I was here. I blushed, "I got into a fight with some guy in the mine and brought him here. I looked for , but he wasn't here so I patched him up as well as I could and I'm about to go." Jack replied sheepishly trying to hide what had just happened with gray.
"You know ?"He asked confused "yeah, he used to be a doctor here right?" already knowing he was. The guy smiled "he was my teacher" realization hit "oh! I remember you now."I piped up "you helped him do my stitches" she replied smiling pointing to the scar underneath her chin as she began walking away.
The inn was on the corner as I was walking down the path near the clinic; when I heard a dog bark and knew it could only be max. I bent down to let him see me, "max what are you doing out here so late?" I questioned. My question was answered when I saw cliff running after the dog panting. "Helping cliff get some exercise? He really needs it, good boy" I said sarcastically earning a half annoyed half humorous smirk.
"Aww come on cliff you know I'm just joking" I reply pouting as I picked max up. "I'm going in, you coming?" I asked opening the door; He nodded holding the door for me so he could enter after.
"Jacklin! You gotta tell me what happened now! I've been waiting for two hours dying of anxiety!" she shouted grabbing my wrist and pulling me halfway up the steps. "Ann could you at least let me check in first?" she stopped. "I already checked you in and did all the important stuff while you were out and about" she replied pouting emphasizing how bored she was.
We went into the room closest to the stairs "this is our room" she said letting go of my arms and falling on the bed closest to the door. I saw my suitcase and unlocked the green buckles, then pulled out a frilly dress that was in between a nightgown and a sundress. "Ann were's the bathroom I need a shower" I asked just wanting to go to bed as Ann glared at me. "You're supposed to tell me what happened at the mines" "I got mine dust all over me, I'll tell you when I'm done okay?" feeling defeated she pointed to the far right of the stairs "There's a washer and drier to do your laundry in there too" she called down the hall and nodded as I entered the hallway.
