Chapter 4: Raindrops
Branch cocked a brow. Was she messing with me? Was all Branch could think of. Branch shook his head and crossed his arms. "I don't believe you. I don't remember any Lake in my life. Except you right now.".
"Branch, believe me. You seriously can't remember?" She asked with a bit of sadness. Then he shook his head and pointed at the door. "You're ok now. Leave. I don't want you here.".
Then Lake gave him a glare, then she wiped a bit of a tear drop from her eye, then she shook it off and walked away. Branch didn't watch her leave, he didn't want to look at her reaction. It just felt... bad, somehow. He felt like he hurt her feelings. But, who would believe a stranger he just met on the same day?! Definitely not Branch. He looked at the picture of him and Grandma Rosiepuff, was she really telling the truth? He didn't know, but somehow, he could've believed her. But he didn't. Lake was walking back to her place, her home. Where no one can hurt her, no one can tell her what to do, as she passed through Troll Village, other trolls would stare at her, but she would growl and his at them as they back away. She continued to walk to her home, suddenly, rain started to fall on her, she looked up and sighed. "Ok, I get it! Not only my only best friend didn't believe me, but including my parents...".
She said and stopped walking as she looked down at the puddles and saw her reflection. A teardrop fell from her eyes and hit the puddle like a raindrop. Just then, she felt something above her and covering her from the rain. She looked up and noticed a black umbrella covering her and a grey troll beside her, holding the umbrella. "Here. I don't want you to get wet...".
Then she slowly grabbed the umbrella. And as she finally grabbed it, Branch said no word, and walked away with the rain falling on him. Lake couldn't believe her eyes. She had a small smile from her face, then she had a small blush from her cheeks as she headed back to her home. Little did they know, Poppy and the Snack Pack saw everything. Poppy jumped and smiled. "See! I told you! They like each other!".
"I don't know Poppy. Branch just gave her an umbrella. What's so romantic about that?" DJ Suki asked as Poppy nodded and smiled. "You guys are not good in romance. Now cmon, we have to talk to Branch. I think he has a lot to explain...".
Then they nodded and followed Branch. Back to Lake, she arrived in her place and put the umbrella aside. She walked through the halls of pictures of her parents and her when she was a kid. Every single picture was her parents and her friends, but one picture was her most precious. She stopped in front of it and looked at it. It was a picture of Branch and Lake as kids, doing odd poses and silly faces. Lake chuckled and continued to walk to her bedroom. As she sat on her bed, she lied down and missed the days Branch and Lake would laugh when playing. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
