Chapter 40:

245 8 3
                                    

My alarm wakes me up at 3 in the morning.

"Let's do this Rolex!" I sing. Taylor wakes up and throws a pillow at me.

"GET UP TAYLOR." I shout. She mumbles something and trudges downstairs.

Satan and I are doing very well in the placings. I actually passed out when Taylor told me that I was in FIFTH FREAKING PLACE.

They had to take me to the medic and actually give me some drugs to calm me down since I was sobbing with excitement. Hehe... Whoops.

Anyways, once I've yelled at Blake to get out of bed, I sit at my table tapping my fingers. Today is the final day of Rolex. Today means that I can either make it or break it. I attach my leg and sigh. I change into my white show shirt, white breeches, a pair of sweatpants to go over my breeches, and my jacket with Satan's name on the back of it.

"You've only got one shot." I say to myself, looking in the mirror.

I walk downstairs. Taylor is all ready.

"Let's do this." She grins. Blake stumbles into the kitchen, ready to be our groom.

We all pile in the car. I decide to take to Twitter.

"@/Saphy_M: Day 3 of Rolex! Watch Satan and I on the USEF Network!"

We arrive at KHP. I get out of the car, taking my saddle with me. Blake sets to work, unlocking the trunks and getting everything out for the day.

I tie Satan up, get on my step stool, and start braiding.

----

Once I am done braiding, It is 5:15. I check my phone to see I have a ton of notifications from twitter.

"@/AlexAllTimeLow: Everyone wish this loser good luck at her horse show today! pic.twitter.com/374dh6"

The media is a gif of me, slamming into the lockers on the set of Lab Rats.

"@/Saphy_M: Love ya too @/AlexAllTimeLow."

"Saphira You go at the end of the day, but I'm going right at 8:00. Got that Blake?" Taylor asks.

"Yep!" Blake yells.

"I'll get him ready at 7:30 and put you on at 7:45."

"Thank you! Saphira, I would advise that you should go to the truck and take a good nap." I take her advice and run with it.

----

When I wake up, It's about 7:30. I race to the barn and make sure that they are good on help. Blake is just pulling Duncan out of his stall while Taylor is slipping on her black hunt coat.

I wait on the tack trunk until Duncan is ready for Taylor. Taylor mounts Duncan and starts walking to the ring. Blake and I help set jumps while she gets ready.

"What's your course?" I quiz. She quickly recites it to me.

"Good job. Go out there and kill it." I grin. She walks into the ring.

"And our first horse on course for the final day of The Rolex Kentucky, 3 day event, is horse 456 Decaydance and Taylor Stump." The announcer says.

Taylor starts showing Duncan everything at the trot. She breaks into the canter and makes it over the first jump with just seconds to spare before the allotted 45 seconds runs out.

She turns her head quickly and gallops to the next fence. Man, she looks great out there.

Somewhere around fence 8, he starts to buffer. She smacks him on the shoulder with her crop for encouragement. He easily clears it.
