RECAP

"Thanks Stuart." Lauren smiled as she hugged his tiny body. "No problemo!" Stuart smiled brightly as he tipped his hat to her.

Lauren grabbed the nose band again and made sure Luke was okay on top of the horse. She did a faint wave to Stuart as he sat on a rock near Timmy. He nodded back and smiled.

RECAP OVER

LAUREN & LUKE - 5:37pm

Lauren started walking away with the horse en route back to the ranch. She was so nervous, she barely knew where she was going and she hadnt a clue if Luke was okay up there.

"Ugh, this is so stupid. Whys it always me in these situations like?" Lauren said quietly to herself with a huff as she walked over a rock.

"I barely remember where the ranch is.. we're so far out." Lauren said to herself as she tried to look out over all the greenery. She crossed a river and she had to hold onto Luke to make sure he wouldnt fall off the horse. She held onto his arm. Even when he was just laying there, she could feel his muscle through his hoodie. While they were crossing the river, she started to scan his face. She sighed to herself when she looked at the bruises and scars all over his perfect face.

"Why would you even do that for me..?" Lauren asked but really she was talking to herself.

THE RANCH - 5:39pm

Cara was practically pulling out her hair with anxiety and frustration. "Where the fuck are they?" Cara shouted. "Excuse me sorry to interrupt y'all, I tried calling Timmy but theres no signal. I'm actually getting worried too." The receptionist called out. Cara groaned as she looked to the ceiling and flopped on the lounge couch.

"You know whats actually really depressing though? We're probably gonna miss the BBQ at 6!" Kayla exclaimed as she flung her arms in the air. Ryan gave her a look but then looked back down at the sports magazine he was reading.

"What if something happened to them?" Courtney said. "Ah, dont say that! They have to be okay.. they have to!" Cara shouted as she covered her face. Daniel put his arm around Cara in attempt to calm her down.

"I'm starving." Kayla whined. Talia slapped her arm. "When does the sun start setting?" Daniel asked the receptionist. "Soon." The receptionist answered with worry in her voice.

"Hey y'all, theres someone coming in through the gates!" The receptionist called out. Everyone jumped out of their seats and ran to the window. Cara squashed her face onto the window.

"ITS LAUREN AND LUKE!" Cara muttered against the window. She pushed herself off the window and flung the door open, with everyone following.

"LAUREEEEEN!" Everyone shouted and cheered but then they all stopped when they saw Luke laying over the horse and the look of distress on Laurens face. "Holy shit, what happened to Luke?!" Jeremy exclaimed. "I'll explain later, is there any nurse here?" Lauren called out sadly. "Yes, come this way." The receptionist said. Daniel and Ryan lifted Luke off the horse and carried him inside. Lauren tied up the horse by the fence and quickly followed along with everyone.

"Yo, what happened??" Cara asked Lauren. "...Timmy happened." Lauren said with tears in her eyes. "Where is Timmy? What did you do to him?" Cara asked with suspicion in her voice. "Nothing, hes with Stuart, he saved us." Lauren smiled as she thought of little 'ole Stuart. "Holy shit no way!" Cara laughed but then smiled. "I'm so proud of Stu-Stu." Cara said as she looked at the wall. "Yeah, I need to tell the receptionist to back out for them." Lauren said as she stood up.
