Grace Zandew grew up in a small town near Houston, Tx. She competes in barrel racing and tie down on a pro level. This coming season she joins ERA. What she doesn't know is that she has caught the eye of a man from Sulphur, Louisiana. He's a champio...
We pulled up to the arena. Shane helped me out then we went to sign in. His phone went off again. That's the third time in the past five minutes.
He walked Gage up and signed in as I did. "Um I'm going to go put the horses up." He said unexpectedly. For the past two weeks he's been acting funny. I brushed it off and hobbled over to the group.
"Where'd Hanchey go off to?" Tuf asked. "To put the horses up." I told him. Trevor came in with a look of disapproval. He signed in and came over to talk.
"What's buggin' ya Trev?" Marty asked. "Nothing we should talk about now." He said. I left that group and went to talk to the girls. Last week I finally told them how I got hurt.
"Hey how's your ankle?" Fallon asked me. "Good doesn't hurt as much. Then again it might be healing crooked." I told her. "Yeah I bet you can't wait until the season is over." Lisa said. I nodded.
Gage was with me because he didn't want to go with Shane. We talked until I told them goodbye and went to the trailer. I went inside and iced my ankle.

Last night of Calgary
Shane saddled my horse up and let me go warm up. Once I was done I went back to get into position. First for barrels and tie down. I rode perfectly both times.
Shane wasn't around to help me unsaddle. Trevor came by with Deputy after their tie down run. "Hey Trev. Could you please give me a hand?" I asked.
"Where's Shane?" He asked. "I don't know he rode before you. I thought you'd know." "Nah. I'll give you a hand anyways. Wanna go get a drink?" He asked lifting my saddle off of Arrow. "Sure." I told him.
We walked to his truck and got in. He pulled up to this bar and grill and helped me out. We went inside and ordered food and a beer each. To be honest One was enough for me, but I drank three before Trevor and I went back to the arena.
I went to the trailer and opened the door. The shower was running and I could tell Shane was in there. I saw a woman's clothes on the floor and stormed out.
No he can't be. He would never. I went to my horse's stall and climbed up on his back. Arrow nickered as I cried into his mane. My tears staining his coat. He laid down keeping me on his back. Gage came over on the other side and let my foot rest on his back.
I cried myself to sleep thinking about how he could do that to me. My first boyfriend tried to take my virginity and now Shane is cheating on me. Why does life have to be this rough and they all knew about me and Shane dating.
Shane's POV
She felt so good against my body as I held her in the shower. She moaned my name and ran her hands along my back. For some odd reason it felt weird but good at the same time.

Grace's POV I woke up on Arrow's back. The events from last night flooded my head. I wanted to go home, get my own trailer and travel with just myself, dog and horse. That's why I haven't had a boyfriend in so long. I was afraid of getting hurt again.
I got cleaned up and packed ready to go. Shane was still asleep. Trevor offered to take me home and I took up his offer. I got my house key off of Shane's key ring and stuck it in my shirt pocket.
When I got home with my horse, dog and tack I thanked Trevor and he left for his house. I put Arrow out in the paddock. I was leaving for Salt Lake City in three days.
I did laundry and repacked my bags and got the trailer ready to go. Shane tried to call me but I ignored his calls and texts. His voicemails didn't sound worried like he usually is for me.
I iced my ankle and kicked back on the couch. Why he would do it I have no clue. After my ankle was numb I went out and fed my horse and dog. Then I fixed myself supper and got a shower then went to bed. Gage crawled up close to me and snuggled my body.
Shane's POV I woke up and Shelby was gone. I looked around the trailer and didn't find any of Grace's stuff. I went outside and ran to the stalls. Her horse was gone too and so was her tack. Her dog wasn't in sight and most of the trailers were gone.
"She's gone Hanchey. Left this morning while you were still in bed with that girl." Tuf told me. I lost her because of a stupid mistake I made of taking back an ex of mine. I tried to call her but she didn't answer. I texted, nothing.
Man I really screwed up. I packed all of my stuff and headed for Vidor, Texas. She's gotta be there at her house.

Wow Shane really messed up. Hope he can fix it before it's too late.
