Attitude Adjustments -Harry Styles Love Story-

Chapter 13

I walked down the stairs humming to myself as I grabbed an apple from the fruit bowl, I leaned over the counter as I watched Payton silently paint her nails. Her black hair tied tightly into a bun, wearing an old grey tank top and some denim shorts. I walked over and sat next to her sighing dramatically as I leaned up on my elbows. Payton put the little brush back into the pot and looked up at me "What's wrong now?" She asked with an eye brow raised. I laughed to myself "Just missing Lacy" referring to my horse. Payton smiled and nodded towards the door "Go ahead, me and Harry will be with you in 5 minutes" I nodded quickly and jumped up with a huge grin attached to my face. I ran over to the door and heard Payton chuckle before I left the house. I shut the door behind me and smelt the fresh scent of sea water and fish and chips. I turned on my heels and walked swiftly towards the stable, in sight I could see the crumbling brown wood on it's last hinges. I ran in quickly to check if Lacy was okay, along with ButterCup and Tammy. I walked over to my beautiful horse, her white hairs as clean as fresh snow and the cream mane that fell along her left side perfectly washed, I sighed in relief knowing she was okay. I carefully placed my hand above her nose hoping she would remember me, she nugded at my hand causing it to stroke along her kneck, I grinned as I unlatched the gate and stepped into her stable, her head turned to face me as she watched my every move. I picked up the brush that was left on a little shelf and turned back to Lacy, I started at the top of her mane and pulled it down towards me causing the hairs to fall indivisual, I carried on brushing her mane until I heard hay crunch at the bottom of someones feet, I looked around for the nearest weapon and picked up the large shovel that was standing against the wall. I held it up over my shoulder and unlatched the gate, walking out trying my best to protect all the horses. My body began to tremble as the sound got louder and louder, I stepped foward taking a gulp, trying to push the fear to the back of my head. I took another step foward taking my time when the pair turned into the stable, I dropped the shovel and screamed, causing to scare the horses. I swallowed back the lump in my throat as I stared at the 2 people standing in front of me, their dark hoods pulled down behind their heads, the sound of laughter errupted across the stable as I held my hand onto my fast  beating heart. In front of me stood Payton and Harry. "Did you think that was funny?" I shouted at them both trying to stop myself from laughing at my stupidness. "Y-You're face!" Payton laughed between breaths, "Wish I got that on camera!" Harry soon commented after her in hysterics. They held onto each others shoulders gaining their balance back, Payton wiping a few tears away. I shook my head "You scared the horses you idiots" I rolled my  eyes and slowly patted Tammy, then ButterCup's noses when I reached Lacy's stable and let myself in again, I slid down against the wall kneeling up against it. Lacy bent down while I rubbed her nose, I smiled at the beautifulness of my horse and stood up brushing the hay from my bum and knees. I grabbed my saddle and buckled it up onto Lacy's back along with the other equipment. Payton looked over the gate and smiled "Where you going?", I climbed up onto Lacy's back patting her neck for reasurance. I waiting for Payton to open the gate and when she did Lacy confidently strotted out. I opened my mouth to say something but closed it again and shrugged. Payton eyes me from the corner of her eyes and I strode past Harry, I heard him whisper under his breath "I hope you fall off and break your neck" I glared at him confused at the sudden change from Harry. I looked down at him "what was that?" I said my eyes burning into his eyes. He looked up at me and glared back. I felt my hands tighten into fist and my cheeks burn with anger "what is your problem Harry? One minute you're all nice to me and the next you're acting like a complete douche!" I spat. He kept his gaze on my face almost like he was searching for something "I don't know..you tell me, Bethy" I cringed at the nickname he used  "My name's Beth, don't call me that" I said rudely. "Okay, Bethy. Sorry Bethy" he smirked back. I turned my gaze from him to ahead of me and calloped off down the path hoping that I'd fall of my horse and break my neck then wake up to this all just being a nightmare.
