Unexpected Additions ~ A Photostory
Part 1
*Taryn's POV*
"Nothing to watch today." I grumbled as I flicked through the channels.
"Taryn?" Charlie asked as she walked into the room.
"Yes." I said as I sat up to look at her.
"Oh, um. I'm going outside! Bye!" And she almost ran to the door.
"Hey! I'll come with.." I was interrupted by the door slamming closed. "You."
I sighed. Charlie had been here for a week now but she barely ever talked to me. She spent most of her time outside alone.
"Where does she even go?" I asked myself. "Well I'm going to find out!" So I slipped my boots and earmuffs on and quietly followed her.
As I watched she stopped to watch the birds."Is that what she has been doing?" I asked. But she began to run! Had she noticed me?
I ran a safe distance behind her. She ran, and ran, and ran, and ran and....you get it. I couldn't believe she ran so far without stopping!
She finally stopped and leaned against a log. She obviously hadn't seen me.
She looked behind her and I had to jump behind a tree to keep from being discovered.
She walked over to a rusty tin can and pulled something out and set it on the ground in front of her.
I sneaked up the little hill beside her and watched.
She sat down on the can and began to talk. I couldn't hear it all but I heard this: " Oh you are so CUTE.....do it again.....oh I could just eat you....you little cutie pie!
I ran to a closer tree trying to hear better. Charlie continued to babble about cute."Is she talking to her feet?" I thought.
She suddenly stopped talking and looked down at the ground."Are you hungry?" She asked.
She turned and broke off a twig.
"Here." She said as she handed the stick to something. Then I heard a crunching noise and Charlie giggled.
Then she closed her eyes and sighed. "If only I could tell Taryn about you." she said sadly.
"Why?" I thought. "Why can't you tell me?"
"I don't think Taryn really likes me Jack."
I couldn't stand it anymore! "Of course I like you!" I shouted.
"Ah!" Charlie screamed.
"Why would you think I don't like you?" I asked.
"Well, because you never talk to me." she answered quietly.
"I don't talk to you because you never seem to want to talk!" I said defensively.
She looked away sheepishly. "Because I was worried if I started talking I would tell you about Jack." she said.
"Jack?" I said quizzically and followed her gaze.
