Angela's POV
I sigh as Michael storms out, his words stinging a little more then they should have. I look at Jake, and he nods understandingly then gets up and follows him. Ashton gives me sympethitic look, but before he can say anything, Calum glares at me, obviously fuming.
"You're just gonna let him go!?" He bursts. I nod at him.
"Yes, Calum. Jake is going to make sure he doesn't harm himself. However, Michael is basically having a tantrum, similar to that of a toddler. And, like a toddler the more I play into it the worse the tantrums will get. He's playing his tantrums out to get my attention, so I can't respond to them. Jake will make sure he's safe, but we're going to let him have his fit." I say, my voice shaking. Luke hits Calum's arm, quietly telling him to shut up.
"He does that sometimes. It makes sense." Ash says nodding. "I'm so sorry Angila. You don't deserve it." I smile at him.
"Well, thank you Ashton, but I've dealt with a lot worse. You guys wanna go for a ride?" Calum jumped up excitedly and ran out before the rest of us even got out. Ashton and I laugh at him.
"He really loves riding." Ashton says with a smile. I nod as we follow him.
"D-do you think that I coulda m-maybe j-just watch?" Luke stuttered as we walk into the barn.
"Hey, Ash. You and Calum saddle up, Luke and I will be there in a sec!" I tell him. Then I lead Luke into my office.
"You wanna tell me why you're so scared of horses, Luke?" I ask sitting down and motioning for him to do the same. He shakes his head and looks down.
"Luke, you gotta talk to me. I can't help you if you don't talk to me." I say gently. He looks up at me for a second, and then looks down as he starts to talk.
"It's not the horses....exactly. It's the idea of them. I'm scared of new things. I'm scared I won't do it right. When Calum does something he's always good at it. When Ashton does it, he can at least make himself look like he's good at it. And Michael just makes it look funny. I-I'm not able to do any of those. I'm scared I'm going to embarrass myself, and the boys. I'm scared of what people are going to say." He says quietly. I nod.
"Luke, that makes sense. Everyone is always looking at you. It's normal. But you've gotta trust that these people won't judge you. Because we won't. Plus, you never know, you might be good at it." I say with a smile, gently squeezing his hand. "Come on, let's go get saddled."
