Alone
Grand Bazaar//Anita x Dirk
Romance + Friendship + Hurt/Comfort





"We can't be friends anymore."


His words had bugged me for days. They were so painful and hard to understand. When everything was so good in my life, it all tumbled down when those words came out of his mouth. I cried till my eyes couldn't form tears anymore.


"Dirk… I don't understand…"

"Anita you never understand."



I remember everything all so clearly. It plagues me up to today, how I let him get away. My heart will never let me forget how stupid I was not to notice his pain.


"Ivan, where's Dirk?"


Everyone I've ever held dear to me has left me in the dust. First Dirk and now Amir would be heading off to a new island in a few days' time. At this rate, I'll die alone.


"I'm sorry Anita, I thought he told you."


Heh… that's right, Dirk didn't mention a word about it to me. I'm such a terrible person. One who is too blind to see what was in front of them the entire time.


"Told me what?"


Maybe if I wish hard enough…


"He's gone."  


Dirk would be back in Zephyr Town. But, when I open my eyes… I find nothing but shattered hopes and dreams.


Then my nightmare truly began when an envelope slid through the mail slot of my door one morning. Inside was a lone picture, one of Dirk and a girl.



You're invited to the celebration
Of a special day
Where two very special people
Are brought together by love.


Dirk Bentley
Lillian Raglan

May the Goddess ring her bell!

His Good Mood
A New Beginning//Rio x Allen
Romance





"You and I have a lot more in common than I actually thought." His smile was faint. He placed his cup of coffee on the table and adjusted his black-rimmed glasses. I glanced at the food in front of me, unsure whether I should eat it or not. "Rio," It was if he sensed the battle within my head. "It's my treat. Go on, eat."


"Thanks," It was useless to resist. Besides it's rude to make him waste his money for nothing after already ordering it for me, also this could be my chance to make a good impression with him. When I was done with my meal I pulled out my wallet only for it to be put back in after Allen saw it.


Allen let out a short laugh and leaned back into his seat, running a hand through his crimson locks. "I invited you. It's nothing you should be thanking me for. Rule #1: it's incredibly uncool to make a girl pay for her meals on a date. It'd break my esthetic code." Suddenly I felt my cheeks burn red at his choice of words. He referred to this as a date! A date of all things! N-Not that I mind… I don't mind at all.

A sad feeling had enveloped my heart, maybe because dinner with him was over in a flash. And yet again it was as if he sensed what went on. "If the mood strikes me, I'll invite you again. Look forward to it." He gave me a quick wink before turning on his heel and heading toward his salon. I smiled.


"Oh I definitely look forward to it."

You're My Inspiration
Tale of Two Towns//Lillian x Cam
Romance + Family




Since Cam was little he had been shy and preferred the company of nobody but himself. I had pressured him into being less of an introvert and yelled at him about it. However I gave up after numerous efforts believing the boy was hopeless. When he finished school he didn't know what to do next. He had no career in mind, no future. Of course I was worried and thought maybe all Cam needed was to clear his mind. I contacted my cousin, Howard, in Bluebell and asked if he could stay with him for the summer.


While Cam was gone, every night I would pray; hoping that something would lead him in the right path and lead him to a bright future. After the summer was over, Cam came home with flowers in his hand and immediately I knew something about him changed. He had a twinkle in his eye, a twinkle that told me that there was more to it than just some flowers.


And before I knew it a year had gone by.


"What do you mean you want to stay in Bluebell?!"


Not just staying for the summer, but permanently. He kept begging for permission to go. I just… couldn't. I didn't want to lose him; I loved him way too much to let him go so soon.


"Please let me go, my inspiration is there!"


Something in my heart twisted as I refused his plea. Maybe it was the sight of him stomping off to his room with anger in his eyes, anger that I caused. All because I wanted to be selfish and keep him with me for a little bit longer. Guilt washed over me.


"Cam, can I come in?"


I was gently knocking on his door. However there was no response.


"Look I just want to say I'm sorry…"


.

.

.

I received nothing but silence.


"Cam?"


Turning the door knob I discovered it was unlocked thus giving me permission to enter the room. The door creaked opened slowly revealing Cam's tidy room, but no Cam. My heart dropped when I saw his bedroom window left wide open.


After that incident days slowly went by, 2 years today. I didn't call the police and claimed Cam was missing. There was no need for that. I knew where he was; in fact I'd have done the same thing if I were put into his situation. He ran away to Bluebell.


Then one day I received a call from Howard.


"Oh sweetie, your boy's all grown up! Ever since he met that young farmer 3 years ago they've been stuck together like glue. They are soooo cute together! Hehe, I sometimes catch Cam staring off dreamily into space thinking about Lillian. She's brought out the best in him. It's so refreshing to see Cam smile more. I was getting bored of seeing that handsome face of his being grumpy all the time!"


"And get this honey, Cam proposed to her!!"




Now you've heard my story. I didn't sit with Howard and his daughter Laney. Cam must not know I'm here, at least not yet. And speaking of him, he was standing up at the altar. Howard was right; Cam looks much more handsome with a smile gracing his lips. I had the urge to cry. Music suddenly started playing and everyone including me looked at the bride. She was beautiful like a flower.



And everything made sense. Guilt swept over me once more. I had prayed for something to guide my son and unknowingly kept him away from it. Except it wasn't just something, it was someone. And that someone was his inspiration. I began to cry.


"I'm a horrible mother."


Then a hand was placed on my shoulder.


"No you're not, mom."
Anita x Dirk
Rio x Allen
Lillian x Cam




Back in December of 2011, I wrote some drabbles of my 4
favorite couples from 4 of the many Harvest Moon games. I thought you guys deserved another one after making said drabbles. I only did this because I noticed my drabbles were #1 for this category when searching "Harvest Moon" so thank you guys. :)

This time there is only 3 drabbles but they are longer!!!<3 The last one isn't really romance-y but I felt as if it would be an enjoyable story nonetheless.


What Allen says is basically taken from his Black Heart event. I didn't know how to put it into my own words... FAIL. xD



Comments are well appreciated. C:


I found the image on Google... so yeah.
