Life in a saddle

Chapter 7

" what is your problem today?" Lisa asked Kirsty as she started laughing as the face she had just pushed Lisa.

" your not good enough for red! " she shouted as Lisa looked at her hurt.

" excuse me? What do you know about red?" Lisa asked as Kirsty shook her head and sighed.

" I know that he's special! And your not so I think you should just back off! " Kirsty said as Lisa just stood there feeling helpless as she suddenly burst into tears as she ran into the toilets.

It was 11 o clock and everyone was in the ring on their horses apart from Lisa who was no where to be seen.

" does anyone know where Lisa is? " red asked as he was away to start the lesson, while worrying why Lisa wasn't here, he knew she wasn't with prancer, because prancer was tied outside the ring while waiting for Lisa.

" is this about what you said to her? " Veronica whispered to Kirsty as she shrugged.

Red knew he wanted to go find Lisa but he knew he had his start the lesson as that was what he was paid to do.

" okay... Erm, would you like to all have a trot around the ring 3 laps please as a warm up, think we going to work on some jumps today, we haven't done that in a while," red said walking over to the jumping box while setting one up. He couldn't take his mind off about Lisa though, was she hurt? Was she sad?

Meanwhile Carol and Stevie went into the middle of the ring to have a chat quickly, " right where the hell is Lisa?" Carol asked Stevie.

" I don't know but I really need to toilet, hold belle while I quickly go!" Stevie said getting off belle as she ran into the stable.

When she was on the toilet she heard muffling in the toilet cubical that's beside hers.

" are you okay?" Stevie said not knowing who was beside her.

" Stevie is that you?" She heard a whisper as Stevie quickly went out of the toilet and washed her hands.

" Lisa it's me! Come out," Stevie said as Lisa burst through the the toilet door and grabbed onto Stevie as she put her hands around her.

" what happened? " Stevie asked rubbing her back as she sobbed into it,
" hey watch the jacket, phills here," stevie joked.

" red doesn't deserve someone like me," Lisa whispered as she went out of Stevie grip and sat on the toilet floor and stared at the ground as Stevie came and sat beside her.

" where did that Come from? You two are perfect!" Stevie said as she was generally being honest.

" someone told me and I get it! It's true... I wish I was just like you or Carol ," Lisa said shaking her head again.

" that's not true Lisa, your amazing."

Lisa looked at Stevie as a tear rolled down her face, " if I'm so amazing, how can I hate myself so much?"

Stevie said nothing, she just looked at her best friend wit sad eyes, How could Lisa hate herself.... She's always got a smile on her face and always manages to get a smile on someone else's.

" come on, let's go get you cleaned up, red is worried about you.... Because your special Lisa," Stevie added as she got up and pulled Lisa up as he started wiping the make up that had run down Lisa's face.
