The Barn.....Part 2

All our hard work, and our memmories. All was being burned to the ground. I just wanted to burn with it. 

Lucas's arms went around me and held me close to him. "It's okay." he said to me.

"What time is it?" I choked out.

"It's about six in the morning." he replied. 

I started to cry even harder.

"It's going to be okay."

"No, its not. Mom is gone. All of her is in there!"

"She's in our hearts, Chloe. Not in a building."

I couldn't help myself, I started to run forward, away from Lucas.

Just then, Luca's horse, Harley, came bulting fromt he barn.

Lucas grabbed him from behind me. I waited... I was waiting for Angel. 

The fire department came up our driveway in their truck.

Finally, Angel bulted from the stable as well..... She had a scar on her back. A deep, fire burn into her used to be white coat.  I looked at the barn, expecting dad to come barreling out. But he didn't.... Horses came running out... But not him... Lucas pulled Harley next to me. Angel was already standing next to me... She was brave enough, we weren't too close. I stared at the barn, tears coming down my cheeks.

"Where is he?!" I yelled, scared.

Lucas held me, he wasn't going to let me go now. I felt his tears drop on my head.

"It's really going to be okay, it is." He said choking, slightly.

The firefighters started hosing the barn down, enxtinguishing the flames.

"Where is Heather, and Juliana?" I asked, crying.

"They're down by the neighbors. They think dad's alright." he said, tears still falling.

Lucas turned me to face him, and pulled me into his chest, his chin resting on my head. I cried into his chest. I knew he was crying, tears kept falling on my head.

The fire was finally put out. I hid my face in Lucas's chest and cried. What else could I do? I lost my dad, and all evidence of my mom had been burned to the ground.

Rob, a guy from our high school, came up to us. He had a job with the fire department and he apparently had some news for us.

"Hey, Chloe, Lucas." he greeted.

"Hey, Rob." Lucas replied.

"Well, we found your dad. He wasn't in the barn part."

"Then where was he?" Lucas asked.

"He was in the tack room."

I realized why he'd be in the tack room, and started sobbing even more. 

Rob left us, I think he felt bad that he was the one that had to tell us. I dated him once... but not for long. I'd rather date Blake. Blake understood me much better.

Lucas pulled me along to where Brandon, Heather, and Juliana were. We all cried. It was a sad time. 

I didn't want to see anyone, not even Blake. Blake texted me at ten.

"Hey babe. I heard. I'm so sorry. Can I come see you?"

"I don't want anyone to see me right now. I've lost both of my parents and I can't stop crying."
