Blue pov.

As I dragged my bags down the stairs I could hear my mother shouting for me from the living room "coming!" I yelled back and dumped my stuff by the front door, I pushed the living room door open and saw a group of people sat talking. I instantly recognized my mother and continued to look round the room... Mother... Stranger... Rufio and the jerk... Great.

"ahh Blue finally" I rolled my eyes at her cheeriness "once again BLue... mr Stone has offered his services... He's going to be accompanying you to your uncles"

I saw his momentary reaction to the word 'uncle' but I was far too annoyed to pay attention, he butted in "please... Call me Zephyr" with a smile at my mother.

zephyr... I thought what an unusual name "I see I get no say in this again!"

"Blue! Be grateful I would have taken you but Rufio has got rehersals in which he needs a lift to"

" you really do fail as a mother sometimes!" I spat in annoyance but her response summed it up.

"I know I do"

I stared at zephyr on purpose" so zephyr... Lets go!" I don't think I have ever seen him ever move so fast.

few hours later....

"wait here" zephyr growled at me as he stormed off towards the rent a ride, I dropped my gear in a huff and stifled a yawn.

I gazed around watching the Texan people in their cowboy boots and leather hats milling around going places and doing stuff. Envious of them in their hats as this heat is unbearable and blinding me.

I watched as a red mustang pulled up in front of me, I had a good look but as the window started rolling down I quickly looked away as to not be rude... "hurry up blue!" My head flicked back to the mustang to notice zephyr sitting in the drivers seat smirking at me.

I smiled to myself as I leaned down to grab my gear, slung it in the boot and got in "I have to say zephyr, your choice in motors exceeds me" I said in a posh accent whilst staring out the window.

he chuckled "and whys that"

"I didn't think this would be your type"

"I'm glad you approve" he smirked

I groaned to myself, that totally failed.

the 20 min journey felt like years, well doesn't help when your stuck in a car with someone you hate with passion, and when it looks like you've passed the same tree 10 miles back. We finally pulled down a side road... A very bumpy side road.

I watched as zephyr rolled his window down "he be careful with jedediah! That horse is worth more that your lifetime pay!" He pulled into a barn and threw the car keys at me" your cabin is over there" he pointed to a log cabin on the other side of a paddock " its now your motor. Lunch is at 8 pm and you'll be sharing the cabin later so id hurry up if I was you" and with that he left me in the mustang to think it over.

I mumbled to myself "let me get this straight...i have my own cabin and I've only been her an hour or so... I could get used to this. Just hope my cabin mate isn't a bitch"

I unpacked slowly I had ages to wait but a knock on the door jolted me from my thoughts of back home. "its blue isn't it?" A deep guys voice sounded from behind me.

"yeah..." I called back with hesitation a tall guy walked in, I watched him with untrust, his face was kind but I didn't think his goatee suited him, he wore a checked shirt, jeans covered in full length chaps and ankle boots.

"nice to finally meet you blue, I'm your uncle lyo" he smiled at me

"oh hi..." He smirked at my response.

"lunch is in 30, the showers are through there if you want to freshen up and I went to the privilege of getting you some clothes that might make you feel better suited" with that he walked back out.

"thanks!" I shouted after him, I went through and showered, walked through to the bedroom to find some clothes in the top drawer, a nice check shirt with the tassles to tie it up, a pair of blue faded jeans, a leather cowboy hat and a pair of ankle boots with gorgeous detail on the sides.
