Chapter 1.3: Love, Loss and LEGACY


 It’s been a week now. Holden and Gwen are still not talking. Gwen is busy at her work and comes home late and Holden has been staying at the library, finishing his book but it was hard for him to write a love story especially now that between him and Gwen is not working, and they haven’t been dating, it’s just a friend’s quarrel.

Zelda Mae has been keeping her company at the library after her work she goes to the library talking to him about Art and Music. She’s been a great company and friend but that doesn’t mean she would replace Gwen. 


 Meanwhile, Gwen still doesn’t know why the scene at the museum last week annoyed her so much that she doesn’t want to talk to Holden. She’s been also annoyed at her boss, Zelda Mae. She knows that Zelda Mae isn’t doing anything bad, she just befriending Holden, but she is still annoyed by these.

While Holden is avoiding her, she becomes lonely at the house. She called Erin Kennedy, one of her few acquaintances in Sunset Valley, and invites her at their house. She was surprised to see Erin aged up. They talked about her dreams of playing the guitar and being great to people, Erin told her that in order to do that she had to become a star and own a brand new car.


 She told her that maybe she can be a great artist. Erin makes a face, she told her that she can’t make money out of that. There’s no money at art telling Gwen, frowning. Being with a trait of dislikes art, Gwen tries to understand her, she’s still a great company and she’s been lonely for a week and Erin is a great companion.


 Later that night, Gwen tried to talk to Holden, but it seems Holden is not in the mood to talk. He’s not even looking at her and just focusing in finishing his mac and cheese.



“I’m done. See you tomorrow. I’m really tired,” Holden tell her after picking his plate.

“I’m also tired by this, what happened to us? Is this the end of our friendship?”Gwen thought sadly.


Holden woke up the next day, feeling sulky. It’s been 2 weeks, Gwen tried to talk to him the last week but he is feeling tired and don’t want a conversation that would stress him. After that attempt by Gwen there was never an attempt again to fix their quarrel. Bills are piling up, his first book is q chapter behind and the deadline is coming near and he even broke the toilet and that cause him time to fix it. He misses her but he doesn’t know how to approach her.


 Gwen decided to have a tattoo. She wants to refresh herself and have Holden out of her mind. He wants to meet new people and have fun. So she decided to have a tattoo of a heart in her belly bottom. There he met Dave Ramsey. It’s time to test her charisma skills. She was a popular girl back at high school. It’s time to regain herself. 


Gwen try to get to know Dave, he is a technophobe and an angler. She still wants to know him but she have to go to work, so she gave her number to Dave and he promise to call her.

 Meanwhile, Holden had tried to read books to look for his impression. He read about a book about pregnancy and that makes him sad. He wanted to have a family of his own, a child that can carry his name and legacy. He wants it to be with Gwen, but things between them are not going well. 


Holden decided to call Zelda Mae for help. They met at the museum and he told her about his problem and asked her how Gwen is doing, especially at her work. Zelda Mae smiled at him. “You don’t see her as a friend only? You love her do you?

“I love her since high school” Holden finally told her.

Zelda Mae tried to hide her disappointment. She likes Holden but she was also his friend and she will help him with Gwen. She told him that she is not doing well at work, she’s way behind with the other newbies. She read her compositions but she cannot put music into it because she doesn’t know how to play the guitar or any other instruments.

Holden thanked her. He knows what to do.

Zelda Mae: “You know if Gwen doesn’t fell for this. I’m gonna fire her.”
Holden: “Haha, don’t do that boss! But If she doesn’t like it. I’m moving out.”
Zelda Mae: “You can move to our apartment if you want”
Holden: “Thank you so much for this, Zelda Mae. A guy that will be with you in the future will be a lucky one.”

Zelda Mae: “I hope it was you, Holden. If Gwen doesn’t see how great you are. I’m gonna get you, but for now. I’m giving up.”

What would Holden do to save their friendship and will he finally tell his feeling for her? Will Zelda Mae really give up her feelings for Holden? Let’s see on the next chapter!
