Be There For Me

Chapter 14

Clinton's POV

Date: 11/23/15

Location: The Clinton Anderson Ranch

Time: 12:43 P.M.

After riding with Jessica a little I told her to go unsaddle Moon and put him back. I noticed someone waiting at the gate. I kick Pluto to go into the lope so that I could get to the gate faster.

"Hello mate." I say with a smile as I approach the gate.

"Hi, I couldn't help but notice your beautiful ranch. How big is it?" The man asks. He has what seems to be a three horse, horse trailer hooked to a Ford F250, truck.

"Thanks mate. It's 200 acres." I say leaning on the horn of the saddle.

"Nice, it's absolutely beautiful." He says.

"Thanks mate, yeah, it took about five years to build," I pause for a minute, "So, why are you here mate?"

"Oh, sorry about that." He laughs, "Just came to check out the place, I've seen it, but never came by."

"Alright mate, well, I'd better be getting back to work, thanks." I wave good bye as he waves and closes his window and leaves.

As I begin to walk back, I here something, like a high pitched sound. I didn't think anything of it, because it wasn't major, but it kept repeating. I get closer and realize that the noise was coming from Jessica.

"Holy shit." I whisper and kick Pluto to go as fast as he could carry me. As I get closer, I realize that there is a full grown man beating up Jessica.

"Come on." I yell hoping Pluto would go faster. I get within 40 feet of the man dragging Jessica, and jump off Pluto, I run to the man and tackle him. Him and I fly through the air as I start punching him.

The man punches me square in the face and I repel off of him. I roll over on my side with my hands on my face.

"You mother fucker." I say after the pain subsides and the anger inside of me rushes out.

I get up, and walk over to the man laying the floor. I pick him up, and slam him hard down on the ground. After I'm sure he's unconscious, I get up, and walk over to Jessica who is surrounded but several people. Pushing people out of the way, I kneel down to her as she lays there.

"It's okay everyone, please go back to what you were doing." I say closing my eyes as I take a seat next to Jessica.

After what seemed like hours, the ambulance people had arrived and have taken her. They let me come with, because they had enough room for an extra person.

I didn't talk the whole ride to the hospital, but they had her hooked up to ventilators and everything.
