You're Afraid Of Horses?

"Jab left, jab left, kick right!" My father yelled as I was doing my combos on the punching bag, which my father was holding in place from behind.

"Ha!" I always made weird Karate noises when I was doing my combos.

"Stop," my father told me harshly, "your kicks are all over the place, pick a target and kick it. It's that simple, stop making it hard,"

"Yes father," I said while panting heavily.

"Practice is over for today. Pace your breathing," my father told me as he exited the room with all of the weapons and such in them.

"Pace your breathing," I mocked in a high pitched voice that didn't even remotely match my fathers.

I was just so fed up. He was always bossing me around, and I understand that's a parent's job, but he just over does it.

He pretends he was there for me through all the pain and sorrow.

When really all he was doing was screwing all different kinds girls of on the missions he was on.

Oh yes, he cheated on my mom, and let's just say it was more than a few times.

I shook my head, trying to empty my head from my sad thoughts.

I sighed and grabbed my water bottle from its previous standing position.

"Tired?" Jaxon asked me as I slumped over in my chair.

"Tired doesn't even begin to explain it," I said to him.

He nodded as if he understood and sat deeper in his chair, putting his neck where his back should be.

"Hey, Ray-Ray, I need you to help me with something," Alexander said as he barged into the room.

"What?" I asked.

He looked at Jaxon, and then looked at me.

With his hands he motioned for me to come closer.

I rolled my eyes, but regardless, moved closer.

"I'm afraid of horses," he timidly whispered into my ear.

I looked at him and giggled.

"And that concerns me, why?" I said to him.

"You know why," he pleaded.

"I just wanna hear you say it!" I said while laughing.

"Say what?" Jaxon asked, but he was totally ignored by the both of us.

"Because I need you to feed the horses for me," he muttered it so softly I could barely hear what he was saying.

"Why don't you feed the horses yourself?" Jaxon asked rudely, totally oblivious to Alex's fear.

"Don't be mean," I said to him.

I saw Jaxon huff, cross his arms and roll his eyes, just like Hanna. Looks like they've been spending lots of time together.

Why do you care? I heard myself think.

Whatever.

I abruptly stood up from my chair.

"C'mon, Lex," I urged him, "lets go feed some horses,"

"Can't you feed them?" He whined while stomping his foot like a child.
