Chapter 2
3 Months later…
The last day of school and junior year was pure torture. Summer I could only hope being better but everything is just a blur. The only thing that sticks out now is riding my horses and the hillside.
“Hey there buddy want to go for a ride?” I spoke in a soothing voice to my horse. Billy nickered to me softly.
“Yea… Alright let’s go for a ride.”
I tacked him up slowly taking my time. He always seemed to enjoy that. He was a good height not too big and not too small. He was 15.2 a blood bay with two back socks. He was wide barreled and smooth to ride like a rocking horse.
I put my foot in the stirrup. My left hand on the mane and my right on the saddle and pulled myself up. Not staying in one spot for too long I gently ask him to go.
Five minutes and I was at my favorite spot by a creak in the wooded hills. I spent hours here I felt closer to him. My dad and somehow I could almost see him. A shimmer of light was all it would take. I knew I was only imagining it but it was better than facing the truth of everything.
I would be moving soon. There was nothing I could say or do to change her mind. I had lived here my entire life and now she wanted us to just pack up and leave. Sell everything I knew would come to an end and my rides would never again happen to carry me away from reality. My horses would be sold to help pay for a house off the beach of South Carolina. They would be the last two horses left that my father and I worked with. This made them very expensive and they sold quickly.
I can’t believe her my entire life changing. I no friends now so I guess in a way that made it easier. I remanded silent the entire plane and car rides there.
Everything would remain a blur from here on out. No more pain if I don’t let anyone in as simple as that. I would never again say more that was absolutely demanded of me.
I walked along the beach and the movers were doing what they did best. They made themselves ready to destroy people at any second for the person who was in charge my mother and her stupid boyfriend.
I watched the sunset until the stars were the only thing lighting the way to the chamber of misery.
I walked through the door.
“Where on earth have you been young lady?” My mother semi yelled. I could hear the anger in her voice.
I remained silent but it was a big mistake. I knew of course either way that even if I had tried to answer she would not have listened. She was on one of her rampages now. So I ignored it and began walking to my suppose to be bed room. She followed of course. She was predictable now ever since…
No I wouldn’t bring myself to think of that now. She continued. Now forcing me to listen to her.
“Some neighbors show up when you were off causing trouble. I saw a nice boy about your age I would like you to meet him tomorrow at dinner. I am also advising you to try and not screw it up.” She said harshly.
I turned around and rolled my eyes as I got ready to go to sleep. I lay in bed that night tossing and turning.
I thought to myself one day down and 450 more to go until collage and I can get away.
I SO HOPE YOU LIKE IT! I know it is bad in alot of areas.Is it too short? Do my chapters need to be longer? What do you think?
This is what I imagine Amelia to look like.
