A horse called Midnight (under editing)

Daddy?

Finally that night Dad got home, I run up to the UTE "Dad, I missed you so much" I give him the biggest hug, I think he missed me too, this eyes were blood shot from staying up late, he had a beard starting to grow and he hadn't changed his cloths. "hi honey, how have you been" he  looks up suddenly and gives a dead stare to Ned "your still here" I tells him still giving him a stare "yeah, I stayed in the bunk of the truck, I was waiting till you came home" his look didn't soften it got harder and he looked more un-welcoming. his look finally gave in "thanks Ned, but May can look after her self, your a good guy Ned" was that a hint or anything that my dad likes him or what " I better get back to my chores, see ya later sir" he walks back to Bambi and rides to what looks like the Creek Paddock, it is one of the paddocks we have on the property and if you couldn't already take the hint it's on the creek, it is on the other side of the farm too "have you done your chores, May" ahh he just got home and he is already talking about chores. "i'll go and finish then" I walk away slowly still in thought about how I will tell dad that I am going out with Ned and that he is taking me to JASON ALDEAN CONSERT. I still can't believe it. " you better go and see the cattle" oh god I forgot about the cattle I run over to Midnight and kick him into a canter, as I leave the sight of dad I turn the horses toward the way of Ned, I get him into a gallop, I try to go faster I don't want dad knowing  I went to talk to him now with dad back I won't get much time alone with Ned.

I see Ned about half a k away from me, I start to slow Midnight down. I think Ned saw me because he slowed his horse down too. "have you hold your dad yet?" he asks me when I catch up " is that any way to talk to you girlfriend" I give him a sad face "no hello, or hi" he leans over from his horse and gives me a kiss, " i'm sorry. Hello May, have you told your father yet?" that was a lot better, "no I was going to tell him tonight, I don't now how he will take it, he actually seemed to like you a bit today, he wasn't mad for the whole time" he turn around and looked at me, I didn't now what to do. "you now, the way the sun dances off your hair, it makes you look really pretty" I could feel my cheeks blushing, and turning red "oh, i'm sorry may. I didn't mean to make you go red" was it really that noticeable! "i'd a better head back I was meant to check the cattle" and I just ruined a perfectly romantic moment. Way to go May! sometimes I really think I am a idiot. Just sometimes.

that night at the dinner table I had to tell dad, it would be better if he fond out sooner then later, I didn't want to keep secretes. "May, what's o your mind" I look u suddenly to see dad looking at me, "you have just eaten you steak, do you feel alright" I have to tell him "daddy, don't be mad, just think about it, K?" he gave me a funny look "when you went into town I went on the ride with Ned as you said to do" it looked a tad relived with that "we went swimming in the dam and the whole time I had a funny feeling that someone was watching me, I don't now how or what but... um... me and Ned may have kissed" dad looked at me like he now this would happen but at the same time it was the way he looked what mum died like he had lost all he ever loved, it would be all gone. "and um yeah that was it when we rode back because we smelt smoke and that was when the stable caught alight, me and Ned when in to save the horses we got them all out, in the proses I caught Peter when h came out with a kerosene bottle, and I nocked him out" he still just looked at me speechless, I go to walk to my room "May, just wait" I turn to look at dad, I see him crushed "i now this day would come, I new that you would find your guy. But I wish you could have told me when you first had feeling for him, not after you kissed him" I don't understand what dad meant "an I tell you a story, May" I nod to him, I go and sit on the couch, dad comes over with some chocolate "well once there was a guy who's parents owned on of the biggest stations in the state. He was happy but he felt incomplete. On day a new cook came to work in our kitchen, he didn't meet her until his horse went lame. he fell in love, her parents didn't like his person thought he tried to get them to change there mind, he didn't now what else to do so they ran away to get married by the time her parents found out it was too late, they accepted that they must love each other" I had never heard this story before " May, do you now who that person was" I shock my head "that person was me, there parents caused me a lot of pain and suffering, I don't want that to happen to you. I now Ned is a good person but I don't know him enough to let him date my only daughter" my heart sank, he said no. "i am going to fix fences tomorrow, I will take Ned to try and get to now him better" that is what I wanted to hear I gave dad a kiss on the cheek and went up to my bedroom to grab some cloths to take a shower. That night I couldn't sleep, I kept thinking the same thing. Dad didn't yell at me.

At about 2AM I heard the soft sound of sobs, I tip tow down towards dads bedroom, he was sitting on the end of the bed crying with the photo of mum and him at the beach "Kelly, she's in love, I wish you were he for this. I can't deal with the girl, what do I do. Ahh send me a sign" h yells at the top of his lungs, I see an empty bottle of whiskey on the floor, he had been drinking again the last time he drunk was after mum died, I had to stay with Brett and his wife and there children for a couple of weeks. I missed him but when he came to get me it was like she never died, but she had.
