Dodie's P.O.V

"I'm sorry if I startled you." He says putting the axe down. His southern slur had now tuned into an average American voice.(I'm from England, I don't know the difference) "Emma and Christian, long time no see."

"Excuse me?" Emma said still confused like the rest of us.

"The names Oscar, but you should know me as your brother." He smiled, his smile was now kind. "Father made me do this, ya know put on an accent, carry a rusty axe, pretend like I own the farm when I really don't."

"Oscar? I don't know who you are and I don't completely believe your my brother." Spoke Christian. Oscar then got out his phone and showed us a picture of him and Christian and Emma.

"I want to go now." Said Georgia sounding like a helpless child, she still held my hand but Emma's was replaced by Amanda's.

"I need your help though, the farms turning to absolute....poop." He said switching the last word.

"What do you want?" Amanda asked.

"I need help with a gelding, he's so skinny and Pa won't feed him, says he's a waste of money and time." Oscar said with clear sadness in his voice.

"I'm not going anywhere near a horse." Rose blurted out earning a slap from Rosie.

"Rose! But the horsey needs help." She pouted.

"It's fine, I'll go." Georgia said letting go of mine and Amanda's hand.

"I'll come." I said walking behind her as Oscar lead the way, we all followed him to a muddy field with a horse inside it.

Georgia's P.O.V

We climbed over the fence, it was harder for Dodie since she was wearing a summer dress, even though we had barely made it to spring. We slowly walked over to the horse and he didn't even attempt to run.

He had a thick long neck and his body looked like it was once strong , his large hooves were covered in fur that was plastered in dirt and his mane was tangled and grim. Despite him clearly looking neglected and alone his brown eyes were soft and held some kindness within them. It wasn't very clear what breed he was due to his coat in a poor condition, and my lack of horse knowledge, Dodie said he was some sort of draft horse.

"Maybe a shire, or a Clydesdale, or neither." Dodie said stroking his nose, she didn't seem very frightened of him maybe because he was vulnerable and she knew it wouldn't help if she felt nervous. He stood still his muzzle twitching at her touch, but making no effort to return the affection. He stood square but his head hung low, maybe he felt weak, or maybe he was ready to give up. That thought made my knees feel weak.

"Father never did care for his animals, don't think he ever will." Said Oscar slowly coming up behind us. The name Oscar seemed to suit my friends brother. I looked at Dodie seeing her eyes were sad as she gently tried to untangle the horses mane. "He doesn't name his animals either, when he calls them something it's just made up of curse words."

"That's so sad, no animal deserves to be treated like this." Dodie said with a sigh, I could tell she was trying not to sob.

"I'll call my dad, I'll see what he can do." I said getting my phone out, I had no bars though.

"You won't get any signal here." Oscar said, pointing to a hill. "Over there's a good spot."

I slowly started walking to the hill seeing Dodie staying with the horse, who had now raised his head.
----------------------

"I think I can get someone out here by Wednesday." Roman said standing by the horse gently stroking him.

"Thankyou very much." Oscar said shaking Roman's hand. "Your gonna have to be very quiet, father may be old but his hearing is fine."
------------------------------
We all walked back to Dodie's hotel just to chill for a while. Unfortunately only me, Amanda and Dodie could come to her hotel as Rose and Rosie had to do some stuff.

Dodie's P.O.V

"I'm free all day tomorrow so we could collab then." I said to Georgia as she started writing in her diary.

"I'm thinking around 12?" She ask and I agree.

"I'm free on Tuesday." Amanda says as Georgia writes down more.
--------------
"Maybe some sort of music video? You play anything?" I asked Georgia, Amanda had now gone back home and we were just sat on the bed.

"I play guitar and a tad piano" she said peering over her sketch pad to me, she had been sat there for about an hour just drawing, but she still refused to let me see.

"Can I see yet?" I asked in a whiney voice.

"Dodie, no." She laughed, so I got out my phone and started snapchatting her every time I asked.

And then finally as if by magic she let me see, it was me sat on a bench playing my ukulele.

"Oh my gosh." I said taking it from her, I must of stared at it for a while because she managed to steal my phone and started snapchatting me for pay back. Most captions 'what the heck is she doing?' Or 'Dodie wake up!'

Soon she had to leave and we had agreed to collab tomorrow but we still didn't agree on a song because we were to busy singing to the radio.
