Hope

Chapter 6

I just started at Mum for a few minutes, unable to believe what I had just heard Mum say. After a few minutes I managed to say something.

"What?" I said.

"I just said that I sold Hope." Mum said calmly and confidently.

"You can't be serious. Why did you do that?" I asked.

"Yes I am serious and the reason I did it is because you don't deserve to own Hope. I can't believe that you lied to me about the modelling classes. I genuinely believed that you were becoming interested in modelling, makeup and fashion. Instead you were lying to me because your father had bought you some shaggy, old, worthless piece of meat to ride a few times a week. When I out I couldn't believe that you and your father had done this."

"How dare you call Hope some shaggy, old, worthless piece of meat. Hope is an amazing, beautiful, caring and loyal horse who I love. Also, how did you find out that I owned Hope?"

"Your Dad told me."

At that exact moment Dad walked through the front door.

"Hello everyone, is everything alright."

"Why did you tell Mum that I owned Hope?" I asked glaring.

"I never told her out of my own free will. She asked me if I knew where you were doing your modelling classes and when I couldn't think of a reasonably answer she  guessed that the model classes were fake and asked me if this was true. I told her that you were taking modelling classes but I just didn't know where you were taking. By this time she knew that I was lying and asked me what was really going on. I knew that I wouldn't be able to make up a reasonably explanation so I simply told her the truth. I'm so sorry Helena but I couldn't think of anything else to say. You understand don't you?" Dad explained, his eyes full of apology and sympathy.

I was so angry at what Dad had done. Why didn't he just lie? Now Hope was taken away from me?

"I hate both of you!" I screamed before running upstairs to my bedroom where I lay down on my bed and cried.

The next day I woke up to find myself lying on top of my blanket, fully dressed. At first I was confused but then I remembered what had happened the night before. I had been lying on the top of my bed crying when I had fallen asleep.

I looked at my alarm clock and saw that it said 4:30. I knew that I wasn't going to be able to go back to sleep again so I turned on my light, got out of bed and walked over to my desk. After what had happened the day before after school I hadn't done my homework so I opened up my Maths book and started answering the questions but I kept thinking about what happened the day before. I couldn't bare the thought that I didn't own Hope anymore. Knowing my Mum she probably cancelled my riding lessons forever as well. I started feeling sick at the thought of never being able to ride Hope again. I started to feel sick so I carried on doing my homework and didn't let myself get distracted.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

2 hours later I had finished all my homework and I still and 1/2 an hour before my alarm went off so I read my book  Black Beauty. I was reading the part where Black Beauty9080r8094r748r748r74 when my alarm went off. I sighed and turned it off before going downstairs to eat breakfast.

When I got downstairs and saw the breakfast things on the table I realised that couldn't eat anything so I went back upstairs to have a shower and get ready for school.

Once I was ready I read more of Black Beauty before I caught the bus to school.

As I sat on the bus before I got to Lily's stop I kept wondering why I wasn't crying. I cried so much yesterday so why wasn't I today. Today I wasn't feeling anything. I wasn't feeling happy or sad, excited or nervous. I just felt nothing. Why wasn't I feeling anything? What was wrong with me?
