When I woke up the sun was just beginning to come up like the events of last night thunderstorm had never occurred the cowboys were sitting at the table eating and laughing. The cowboys had left like a pack of wild dogs on prey. when My uncle came and sat next to me,
“Kiddo it seems to me like you have been adjusting quite well around here”
“Yes, what about it?”
“If you chose to stay with me. you are going to be doing chores and working on the ranch”
“That's completely fine but I am not sure if I want to stay I am missing my friends”
“Well whatever you chose”
With that he gets up and leaves the table I watch him leave and shut the door behind him I've only been down here for a couple of days and somehow I feel like I have just arrived.when I heard Jenna open the door
“Cassidy!” she sounds worried and unsure of herself
“Yes”

That is when My uncle came in
“What happened”
“Jessica came in and told me Bolt hurt himself that is when I saw him”
“Well let me call the vet he may need stitches”.
“In the meantime, Cassidy Hold him still.”
Jessica stood there with me and Bolt keeping an eye if he tried to run. Five minutes later the vet appeared.
“What have we got here,” she said with enthusiasm
“You must be Kenneth's niece aren't you just the sweetest”
“This is your horse?”
I wish I thought to myself he just seems to connect with me
No”
“Well all he needs is a little bit of stitches and we need to clean the wound every couple of hours. Also, don't wrap it too tight,” she said while sewing him up. The way she did his stitches I could tell she has done this before. The vet gave Bolt a sedative that seemed to almost put him to sleep to
