Redneck Romeo

1

I was riding my 10 year old walking horse down my favorite trail when I saw something strange. Even thought I couldn't get a good look I could tell someone found my spot. When I got closer I noticed it was a kid from school. More the THE kid at school. He was the most popular country boy you'd ever meet. he was rude sometimes and he always did dip.
"What are you doing here?" I asked
"N-nothing." he stumbled on his words. He seemed like he has been crying. But he never cries. Or so I thought his world was nothing but perfection....that would all change...

"What's wrong?" I asked getting off my horse and tying him to a tree.
"My dad died. that's why I wasn't at school today" he said tears falling. He look really bad. His hair was all messy hi didn't have much of a shirt on. He was a complete mess... i say beside him
"I don't have a mom or dad... I know how that feels." I said looking at the water in front of us
"Sydney...I'm so sorry..." He said. I could feel him looking at me.
"It's ok" my voice cracked and I couldn't hold in tears. They just started flowing.
"Shhhhh..." he said and pulled me into him. I just say there and took in his embrace.
