A Shy Girl & A Wild Horse

Chapter 5~

How can a girl get sleep on a plane when she has a nonstop crying baby next to her, with a 5-year-old kicking her chair from behind?

It is impossible...

But for some reason I like it. I know that makes no sense whatsoever and that I am a very weird teenager.

But I find it helpful in a way. Like when I hear the baby scream it helps me not to think about my grandparents, and when the annoying kid behind me kicks my chair it helps me not to think about my mother.

But it is still annoying...

The plane ride has been long and boring and the only thing my mind will think about is my father.

I don't remember anything about him, I was still so small so I wouldn't expect myself too.

The only thing I know about him is that he's a veterinarian and he owns a huge ranch with millions of cattle and horses.

I squeezed my little blue pillow and put in my ear phones and push shuffle and wait for a random song to play.

I was having a party in my head when I felt something tap my arm. Wait no tapping is being generous, it was more like poking holes into my skin.

I opened my eyes and pulled out my earphone and saw a small girl looking up at me.

"You look upset." She said.

"I do?" I asked suddenly feeling self-conscience.

"Yes, do you want a skittle?" She smiled holding up a bag of skittles and shakes them a little making my mouth water.

I hadn't had a skittle since when the last time I went shopping with my grandma...

I feel tears threaten to fall but I held them back and put on a fake smile and nodded my head.

She poured 5 skittles onto my hand and gave me a quick hug.

"Feel better."

I smiled, a real smile and hugged her back.

"Don't worry I will."

And with that she left and I put my earphone back in and another party started in my head.

~~~~~~~~~~

I have no idea how long it has been but when I woke up we were already descending and I knew that I was in Texas.

When the plane landed I grabbed my luggage and swiftly found my way to the huge parking lot that had at least a million if not a billion cars in it.

I have no idea what my dad's car looks like...

That could be a slight problem.

I just decided to sit down on my big suit case and waited for a bus or something to come by.

I pulled out my phone and texted Caitlin that I landed.

She took the whole moving away thing hard. She was a mess the night before I had to leave and she said that she would come to visit me when she could.

Me: Just landed, and currently bored out of my mind

I waited for a few seconds and as fast as lightning she texted back.

Caitlin: Glad u got there safely. I miss u so much!

Me: Miss u 2

I waited for her to respond but a small blue Ford truck pulled up by the curb.

A young man who had dark brown hair and stunning blue eyes with his hat perfectly straight on his head and his hands in his pocket got out and walked over to me with a slight smile on his face.

"You Becca Harley?" He asked.

"Who's asking?" I questioned.

He chuckled a little before offering me his hand.

"Name is Alex, nice to meet ya."

I took his hand and shook it.

"You got a last name?" I asked.

"I do." Alex replied smiling even bigger.

Well he obviously doesn't want to tell me, and I'm just fine with that.

"And yes I guess I am Becca Harley." I answered.

"You guess?" He looked at me oddly.

"I don't know if I'm the real me or if I am just pretending to be me. That made no sense at all." I looked down at the dusty road.

Smooth, real smooth.

Great first impression Becca!

"No I think I get it." Alex smiled.

"Your father Richard Harley asked me to come get you because he had an emergency with a horse being born." Alex explained.

"Oh." Is all I said.

That was probably just an excuse...

"Do you want me to put your stuff in the bag of the truck?" Alex motioned to the back of the truck.

"No I think I got it." I quietly said.

He nodded and I grabbed my biggest suitcase and tried to get it up into the truck but I just wasn't strong enough. Sometimes I swear that I have spaghetti arms.

Alex chuckled again and walked over to me and grabbed my suitcase and swung it into the trunk like it was a sack of potatoes.

I was able to get my other things into the trunk without completely embarrassing myself.

But then again I am the master at public humiliation...
