Angela's POV


I pull the saddle off of my horse and wipe the sweat off my forehead. It's only the end of June and it's hot as all get out. Tennessee has a tendency to get hot, but come on. It's not even summer and it's already unbearably hot. Wow, listen to me, I've lived here my whole life and I'm still not used to this heat. My dad owns this ranch and, being the oldest child in a family consisting of my dad and I, I get to run it. We're fully operational and run several head of cattle every year. But we also serve as a troubled youth home. Every summer, we bring in kids that are addicted to any substance, or self harm or really anything. I went to school for a couple years and earned my psychology degree so I serve as the head counselor as well as the ranch manager. I put my mare Shiloh away and go inside to see my dad hanging up the phone.

"What's up, Dad? You look upset." I say grabbing a coke and sitting down. He smiles at me.

"It's nothing serious dear." he sits down across from me. "But there is something I need to tell you." I raise my eyebrows at him, encouraging him to go on. He sighs before continuing.

"Well, as you know, we're pressed for money right now, and well we need some help, and sweety I got an offer I couldn't resist." I gasp. Did he really sell this place? It's been in our family for ten generations. This is my home! This is where I last saw my mom! How could he do this??

"Yo-you didn't?" I ask, and he looks up shocked, then he chuckles and shakes his head.

"No, babe I didn't sell. You see, there is this boy band or whatever that's gotten into drugs and whatnot, and they threatened to cancel they're tour unless they got they're act together. They offered to pay an insane amount of money if we closed down our shop for a summer and let them stay here and work and get help." He explains. I nod, taking a few seconds to understand that I won't be seeing the kids I normally see every summer. And, I'll be stuck with four city boys that can't work. How am I gonna do this?
