Hi my name’s Laura, I’m 16 years old horse lovers and I’m going to tell you my story.

“Bye Mum” I said as made my way to towards my plane.

"Bye Laura. Remember I always love you” said my Mum. I don’t believe her. Not one little bit. I glad to be getting away from here. I’m flying to Australia were my Dad lives who got my mother pregnant 16 years ago. I have never met him before and till the couple of years ago I hated him for leaving Mum but now that I’m older I can see why he left. I lived in Australia, I was born in Australia, I was Australian but we left when I was 3 years old and we moved to USA. I thought it was my home for a while but things started to get weird with boys, friends and family, so I told my Mum I want to go live with Dad. She didn’t take it well….. this is our chat about it.

“Mum, I want to go live with Dad” I said

“You what!?” yelled Mum

“You heard me”

“You’re not going to live with your ass hole of a Father”

“Why not?”

“You just remember why he left me, you’re the reason he left because you’re ugly and fat. You stupid bitch!”

“I’m going Mum weather you like it or not” and with that I run up to my room, slammed my door and started packing with big heavy tear drop falling of my face.

What my mother didn’t know that I started talking to Dad 4 months ago on a secret email account (she checks my other ones). I asked if I could come live with him and his family and to my surprise he said yes! I booked the first flight out of USA to Australia where I can start new. I was traveling with Jetstar strait to Perth in Western Australia it will take 20 hours at least. I can’t wait to get off this plane already and I just got on! I was sitting next to a lady who was in her late twenties she as attractive lady, long blonde hair and tanned skin.

“Hi my name’s Lyn” she said to me

“Hey I’m Laura” I said smiling we talked of most the trip till I fell asleep.

I slept for at least half of the flight and Lyn had to wake me up because we started the descend. I put my seat belt on and got ready for landing. I was so nervous but excised at all at the same time. We landed dead on 7:00am. We all got off the plane walking down the stares and stepping on the tarmac felt great after flying for 20 hours!

I didn’t know what to do at first because we had to wait a good 30 minutes for the people to unload our luggage. I have never met my Dad so I don’t know what he looks like I seen photos but I can’t remember what he looks like. I stand there for a good 20 minutes at the baggage place waiting to be found and my luggage. Maybe my Dad didn’t really want me… he has maybe forgotten to come get me. Great I thought now I’m stuck here. There are so many people in the air port and being a child still people look straight over you some old lady nearly ran over me. My flights luggage starts coming around I see my bag and make a grab for it my bag is a plain black bag. I didn’t pack much to be honest I don’t have much anyway my mother stole it all from me before I left. I start walking to the entrance of the airport and I have my head down a bit upset that my Dad wasn’t here I walked straight in a man I looked up to apologize, and he seems some what familiar dark brown eyes and strawberry blonde hair.

“Dad?” I said softly

“Oh god, Laura!” it was my Dad he pulled me in for hug!! I started crying just being so happy!

“Wow you have grown up to a beautiful young lady!”

“Thanks Dad”

“Well, let’s start the long drive home aye?” he said grabbing my bag

“Where’s home?” I said following my Dad I only came up to his shoulder he was tallish but I what you call medium height.

“I own a farm between Mount Barker and Albany”

“Cool, what do you do at this farm?”

“Couple of crops, sheep, cattle and horses” did he say Horses? I love horses!!

“Did you say Horses?”

“Yeah. Like horses?”

“Like is an understatement!! I love them” he just laughed

“Ever rode one?”

“Are you kidding? With a mother like mine?”

“I take that as a no” he said laughing. The rest of the car trip was quite. I slept all the way, cause of jetlag. It felt right; to be traveling with my Dad the Dad I never had growing up.

We got arrived to the farm at just after 12pm the farm was huge white fences every were cattle and sheep shared a paddock on the right. Than on the left there were horses. Real life horses. Some were grazing, while others were sleeping and being lazy. They were beautiful!! All shapes and sizes! There were a couple of fat ones than there were slim fit horses, bays, blacks, grays, duns and buckskins! I was gob smacked!!

“This place is amazing Dad!” I said to Dad smiling

“Thanks I worked hard to get it like this” he said smiling. Dad parked the car and got out my stuff and I followed not knowing what to do so I just followed him inside the house was some what big and beautiful, horse stuff every where I was in heaven! E walked in the kitchen where a lady was, she was beautiful, long blonde hair, tanned, a kind of rounded face, and she was some what tall too.

“Oh, hey you must be Laura” she said smiling and come and gave me a big hug

“The one and only” I said smiling and a little taken back that she hugged me

“Oh sorry love, I’m Emily, your Dad wife” she said the last bit a bit unsure.

“Its ok, I’m glad Dad found someone other than my mother!” 

“How about I show you to your room and gave you a tour of the house?” said Emily picking up my stuff and walking down a dark corridor.

“This is your room”

“Wow its great” I said great, and I really meant great! It was a dark but light blue with a horse galloping on one of the walls it was the perfect room for a girl like me.

“Well I let you settle and I will call you when tea is ready” said Emily. I couldn’t even believe that I was finely in Australia! With people who are nice to me. Hopefully Dad will show me the horses later. I’m still pinching my self!
