~Angel's POV~
I flinched when Garroth sat next to me... I still didn't trust him enough. We just sat in awkward silence. I did want to know what he was going to tell me in O'khasis though... "Um... Garroth... What were you going to tell me back in O'khasis?" I asked him. "Hm? Oh... that... it's nothing..." He said. I stared at him, and raised my eyebrows. I knew when he was lying... he was terrible at hiding it too. To be honest... if it was that he liked me... I wouldn't be surprised... 'WAIT HOLD UP BRAIN! DON'T LEAVE THAT THOUGHT YET!' I thought. 'Does he like me... A LOT?! If that's the case he's way better at hiding feelings than lies.' "Angel... You don't need to know that right now..." He said. I felt distant from him... like becoming a member of the jury of nine made him more... evil... somehow... I felt like crying... that's when I remembered a song mom used to sing...
Her daddy gave her, her first pony
Then taught her to ride
She climbed high in that saddle
Fell I don't know how many times
He taught her a lesson that she learned
Maybe a little too well
Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons in life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough you gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
She grew up, she got married
But never was quite right
She wanted a house, a home and babies
He started comin' home late at night
She didn't let him see it break her heart
She didn't let him see her fall apart
'Cause cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons of life are gonna show you in time
Soon enough you gonna know why
It's gonna hurt every now and then
If you fall get back on again
Cowgirls don't cry
Phone rang early one mornin'
Her momma's voice, she'd been cryin'
Said it's your daddy, you need to come home
This is it, I think he's dyin'
She laid the phone down by his head
Last words that he said
Cowgirls don't cry, ride, baby, ride
Lessons of life show us all in time
Too soon God will let you know why
If you fall get right back on
The good Lord calls everybody home
Cowgirl don't cry.
I couldn't tell Garroth was right next to me... till I opened my eyes. I jumped a little and said, "Okay, I should be used to you of all people doing that... you used to do it back in O'khasis! Why am I still not punching you in the arm?!" I asked as I suddenly, kind of lightly kind of not lightly, punched his arm. He just laughed it off...
