Chapter 13
Angela
I tossed and turned in my bed trying my best to sleep. But images of Gray or Cain yelling at me will pop into my head. My eyes flew open as I turned to the clock. It was 5:30am. I groaned. It was Monday so I have no work today. I turned my back from the clock and tried to go back to sleep.
After 30 minutes of trying my best to fall back to sleep, I gave up. I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. I took a quick shower and got change. Then I headed to the kitchen. Just then I heard someone knocking on my door. I went to go open it. Gill and Vivian happen to be there. He smiled at me. "Good Morning." He said.
"Morning." I said.
"May I come in?"
"Sure." I open the door wider to let them in.
Vivian went inside as Gill grabbed my hand and walked me into the kitchen. We walked into the kitchen. Gill went into the fridge grabbed out some eggs and broke them. "So how was your night?" Asked Gill.
"Tired. I couldn't sleep. Every time I close my eyes there will be an images of either Gray or Cain yelling at me." I said. Gill just stared at me in silent.
"Well…I know what to do. Vivian, turned on the radio please."
Vivian turned on the music. "And the next song coming up is called: These Things I'll Never Say, By Avril Lavigne." Said the DJ. I stared at Gill and Vivian. Vivian turned on the music a bit louder. As I listen to the song carefully.
Da da da da da da dada da dah dah
Da da dada da dada…
I'm tugging at my hair
I'm pulling at my clothes
I'm trying to keep my cool
I know it shows
I'm staring at my feet
My cheeks are turning red
I'm searching for the
Words inside my head
I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know your worth it
Your worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want blow you…away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight?
If I could say what I want to see
I want see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
With these things I'll never say
It don't do me any good
It's just a waste of time
What use is it to you
What's on my mind
If it ain't coming out
We're not going anywhere
So why can't I just tell you that I care
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want blow you…away
Be with you every night
Am I squeezing you too tight
If I could say what I want to see
I want see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
Uh
With these things I'll never say
What's wrong with my tongue
These words keep slipping away
I shudder, I stumble
Like I've got nothing to say
Cause I'm feeling nervous
Trying to be so perfect
Cause I know you're worth it
You're worth it
Yeah
Da da da da da da dada da dah dah
Da da dada da dada…

Da da da da da da dada da dah dah
Da da dada da dada…
Cause I'm wishing myself away…
These things I'll never say
If I could say what I want to say
I'd say I want blow you…away
Be with you every night

If I could say what I want to see
I want see you go down
On one knee
Marry me today
Guess, I'm wishing my life away
Well these things I'll never say…
These things I'll never say
Once the song was over, I stared blankly at the radio as Vivian went to turn it off. The song shows a true story. A true story about me and Gill. I looked at Gill. Gill had just finish cooking the scramble eggs and placed them into a plate with a slice of toast, bacon and hash brown. I looked at the time. It was nearly 7:30am. "Shouldn't you be at work?" I asked. Gill just looked at me.
"Nope. Elli said I can come in a little bit late." He said.
"Oh okay."
We ate in silent. Then once I was done with my food I place the plate into the sink. When Gill was done he stood beside me with his own plate in his hands. I looked up at him and then at Vivian. "What are you going to do with Vivian when you get married and become Mayor?" I whisper asked him.
"I think I'm going to let Vivian stay with me and my wife until she's old enough to look after herself." He whisper back to me.
"Good plan."
When Vivian was done I took her plate and carried it into the sink and washed it. I looked up at Gill. "You should get going to work." I said.
"Are you sure you don't need any help?" Asked Gill.
"I'll be fine. I just got to looked after the animals. No harm done. I'll be at the Town Hall as soon as possible."
Gill nodded his head and walked out. Vivian followed him behind him. I went outside and headed toward the barn. I rang the bell as I watch all the animals come out. I walked toward the animals and milked the cows and shipped them. Then I quickly ran into the coop. Collect all the eggs and cocoons and shipped them all.
Then left my ranch the way it was. I ran all the way into the Town Hall. Once I got there, I open the door to the building and went in. Elli was sitting behind the counter reading a magazine. Gill was sitting behind his father's desk doing some paperwork and Vivian was helping him. I went toward him. "Hey." I said. Gill looked up at me.
"Angela! Perfect timing!" He said.
"Here I'll help you."
We spent hours working on paperwork. Elli looked at us. We turned to look at her. Gill went toward Elli grabbed her mp3 player, went to her music player, place the mp3 player onto it and chose a song. Then he walked back into his desk. I realize the song that was playing.

I stared at the music player. I shook my head trying to get back into reality and focus on to the work.
Gill
Work was finally over. I walked out with Vivian and Angela. I hold on to Angela's hand as we walked to her house. Once we got there Angela went inside to take care of her animals while me and Vivian went inside her house. I quickly made dinner for her.
By the time she came back inside I was almost done with making dinner. She went to the radio and turned it on. Although the song had never turned back on again. Angela sighed. I place pork, rice, corn, and potatoes onto the plates and set them onto the table. Then I went beside her in front of the radio. "Something wrong?" I asked. Angela faced me.
"That song…I want to hear it again." She said gently. I realize what song she was talking about.
"I'm sure you'll hear it again soon. But for now, you have to focus on other things too and part of life." Angela smiled at me.
"I guess your right."
Vivian came toward us as she quickly smell the scent of cooking done. We sat down and ate silently. Once we were all done with dinner, Angela grabbed all our plates and utensils, carried them into the sink and washed them. I wrapped my arms around her waist. "Angela, Do you think we should get married someday?" I asked. Angela blushed.
"Of course!" She said. I smiled.
"I'm glad your thinking that way." Angela smiled back.
"Me too."
When it was time for me and Vivian to go we headed toward the door, Angela walked toward the door as well. I kissed her on the cheek good night and headed home.
Once we got home me and Vivian both headed up the stairs and into our bedrooms. I put on my night clothes and went straight to sleep.
