Lightning

Chapter 13

Chapter 13

A/N: I know the last chapter was Melanie's POV but this one has to be for what I have planned😈😂Chapter 14 will be in Jared's POV.

Melanie's POV

My eyes open as I lay in bed thinking over things. Doing that excited wriggle and a little squeal, I jump out of bed, remembering all about Lightning and Jared. Glancing at my alarm clock I realise I woke up early, half an hour early in fact! Ah well, more time to get ready to go to the barn.
Once I have opened my iPod, I go to my playlist of music and press shuffle. The first song that comes on is Better Than This by Hunter Hayes. Yes! I love this song!

(I don't own the lyrics. I suggest you listen to the song too😊)

Whoa oh

My bags were packed from the day I was born
Knew there was something I was living for
I found my place in a runaway car
And I never looked back, never looked back

I never was much for falling in line
Had a long-time fire in this heart of mine
I may look crazy in momma's eyes but I don't mind

Could be a dead-end road
I could be chasing down a broken dream
But I don't even know
Just to where this thing is gonna lead
It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip?
No, it don't get better than this
No, don't get better than this

I kinda like it when I walk out the door
Not knowing what the good Lord's got in store
There's a freedom in believing there's something more
Yeah, one more chance, one more day
To say what I need to say

Could be a dead-end road
I could be chasing down a broken dream
But I don't even know
Just to where this thing is gonna lead
It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip?
No, it don't get better than this

Getting by on just a little sleep and coffee cups
Learning through the downs, living for the ups
All I know is that I feel alive, and it's a real good ride

Could be a dead-end road
But it's the only life I've ever known
No matter where this goes
You know I wouldn't change a single thing
But I don't even know
Just to where this thing is gonna lead
It's a mystery
Oh and ain't life a trip?
No it don't get better than this
It's a trip and it don't get better than this
Oh, no, it don't get better, no

Hey!

(It don't get better than this) Yeah yeah yeah
(It don't get better than this) Oh no
(It don't get better than this)

It don't get better than this

(End of song)

God I love that song! I'm nearly done getting dressed, I just can't find my barn socks... I know I had them yesterday but where did I put them? God dammit.
💡
They are probably down stairs! I can be so stupid sometimes! Grabbing my iPod, I race down the stairs to go find my socks. As I near the kitchen, the smell of burnt pancakes enters my nose. I know exactly what, or who, it is. You see, as much as he tried, my dad could never really cook well. Everything usually ends up burnt, fried, inedible or all of the above. Don't ask me how it can be fried and burnt at the same time, that's what my mum has been trying to work out since the first time dad cooked for her.

I find my socks at the end of the stairs. Weird. I defiantly didn't put them there. Anyway, once I slipped my socks on, I go to the kitchen to make myself an edible breakfast.
But I barely make it in before I retrace my steps.

"Dad you are gonna set of the smoke alarms! Mum won't be that impressed!" I half shout.

"I thought I had it right this time!" Dad mutters annoyingly.

"You better get rid of the smoke before I have to go to the barn on starving!"

"Yes, yes." Is the reply I get.

Luckily, dad clears the smoke in time for me to grab some food before we have to go.

---

As I step out of the car I say goodbye to my dad. He says it back before he drives off, probably to work. I'm busy fixing the strap of my bag when I hear a giggle coming from my left. Glancing up, I see a girl that is probably a barn bitch and none other than Jared. My eyes widen for a second before I go through the barn to Lightning's stall. Once I get there, I go straight in and hug her. I can't believe he would do that.

A/N: Here's 13 guys! Sorry if the author's note at the start is annoying but I had to put it in. I feel like this chapter is much longer (and probably in more detail) than the other chapters but that's probably thanks to the song😄I personally love Hunter and thinks that he is one of the best male country artists! If I made you a Hayniac because of it let me know! I became one when one of the books I was reading had a song by Hunter in it and I thought, well I probably should listen to the song instead of just reading the lyrics, and it turned out I fell in love with the song and artist! So you never know😉and I made sure to add the song and that you can actually play it and not have to search it up. Aren't I a lovely author!😄
Thanks again for reading!
