Chapter Nine

Sorry I didn't update in awhile, but now this is my only book I'm focusing on since I finished my Sans X OC and so this one is my priority right now!

I walked happily on my way to Shane's since Nixie refused to finish the meal I prepared using his recipe. He should be walking out of Marnie's door at-

My eyes brightened when I realized it was him walking out and I rushed up, with the bag of food in my hand.

"Nope. Not interested." Shane retorted as soon as he saw me. I scrunched my nose up and glared at him.

"Wow, did someone wake up on the wrong side of the bed?" I snapped.

He ignored me and continued walking. I thought about following him then stopped and turned around. I didn't look back at the time, but Shane had apparently stopped and watched me leave with a surprised look. I threw the bag of pepper poppers on the ground and stomped back down the road to the home. I didn't even look up as I opened the door and then slammed it.

"How dare he?! He just- just switches up like that!" I grumbled to myself and harshly sat down and crossed my arms.

Nixie was out already taking care of the farm. I ran my fingers through my mint colored hair in frustration. And to think I thought that he was something more to me or special. It turned out he was just another asshole in my life. Nixie was right.

"You look happy." Nixie said sarcastically later that night. I gave her a heated glare and continued to pick at my food.

"What happened?" She asked finally after we sat in silence for a few minutes.

I smushed my lips together for a moment, debating whether or not to tell her but then I finally decided to tell her from the beginning of how Shane treated me earlier and how angry I felt. Nixie stared at me and slowly took a drink of water before putting her hands in her lap and leaning forward.

"Bambi, you should really stay away from him. Shane isn't a kind person and could even be dangerous." Nixie encouraged.

I tilted my head thoughtfully, "he would never hurt me."

"Maybe not physically but mentally he's already leaving an impact." She said. I sloped a bit in my chair then got up and walked in my room.

"Not hungry anymore." I murmured before shutting the door and locking it. I flopped on my back on the bed. Why would I care what Shane says? He was always an ass.

Who cares what that old drunk does. He didn't need me and I didn't need him either.

I took my clothes off and put on an oversized shirt before laying in bed and shutting my light out. It was still slightly bright outside but my heart was hurt from the interaction I had with Shane. At the time I had no idea why it bothered me so badly.

I woke up much earlier than I needed to. It was 6:50 AM and the roosters from Marnie's ranch were letting me know. I groaned before I got to my feet and chose my clothes for that day. I pulled on jean shorts and a crop top for the cool day and then decided on sneakers instead of boots. Although today was my turn for caring for the plants, I had plenty time to do that later. I walked out the door and stuck my hands in my pockets and listened to the birds singing. It was as if the birds themselves were trying to cheer me up and out of my unusual bad mood.
