Chapter 8

We loved shopping for our horses. I settled on a pink halter for pumpkin, a lime green halter for Appi, and a blue halter for Feather. I also got Nexus a plain black halter, blue lead rope, some alpha cubes, and peppermints. I was checking out when I realized something, Nexus was going to need shoes. "Hey Leigh haven't seen ya in here for a while." Alea said. "Hey. Would you know a farrier really good with horses, one that can put shoes on one for me?" I asked hoping praying that she knows someone. "Yes actually, why?" She knows my dad pretty well. He's not to fond about the wild ones. "I found a horse out in the meadow when I was riding pumpkin and saw him. I knew I had to take him home but dad won't let me have a horse until im 15." I spilled the beans. Alea has been my best friend since 1st grade, we were like sisters. "Ok, I'll see what I can do," she said "want me to come over later?" She asked. "I wish, but I have to lunge Nexus and we have a 4-year old coming. She's staying with me."I said with a swept face. "Dad said I had to help her around horses and chores around there," I said checking my phone. It was almost noon. "You can have lunch with us if you want." She walked back to the office to ask her boss if she could go on break. After about 5 minutes she came back out, grabbed her stuff and walked to the car. "Where do yall wanna go to for lunch?" Kennedy asked. Silence was the answer beckoning me. "Chick-fil-A?" I asked hoping they'd say yes. "That don't sound to bad right now, let's go there." Kennedy put the key in the ignition and cranked the car, the familiar roar of the engine sounded as we backed up and turned out of the parking lot. After about 5 minutes, we turned into the parking lot of Chick-fil-A. Thankfully they weren't busy. We each ordered a chicken sandwich with a side of waffled-fries. We ate rather quickly as we had a new girl coming to stay at the ranch. All I know about her is that she has never been around horses, she's 5 almost 6, and her name is Jaylie. Soon enough we arrived home, we immediately went to the barn. We through our bags away and changed the halters on each of our horses. I lead Nexus to the round ring with a lunge whip in hand. He eyed it suspiciously, and snorted. Classic. He trudged on into the ring were i unclipped his lead. I thought it was better to do it without a lead. So he took off left, I used the whip to make him go right. He reared up in annoyance, ears pinned, but landed gracefully. After about 30 minutes of the same thing I decided to call it a day. I lead Nexus to the crossties and tried to groom him. He wouldn't let me do anything but rinse him off with the water hose. I put him in his stall when I heard a car coming up our driveway. The crunching gravel gave proof of that. I jogged towards it as an elegant woman got out of the car, as well as the little girl. Jaylie was adorable, she had blonde hair that went just past her shoulder blades, cowboy boots, and pale pink dress. We would have to buy her some barn clothes. "Hi," she said before hiding behind the woman. She handed me a file, I looked in it and it has everything about her history. "Lived in Memphis, Tn. Dad shot Mom infront of  her child for no reason and apparently ran away leaving the child on the streets of Memphis. A women called about it and we looked into it and found her a place to stay for a while at a ranch.
Mom's full name: Mary Jones Anderson
Dad's full name: Jerry J. Williams
Any other family to the mother: Niece, Leigh B. Anderson." I stopped reading. "My name is Leigh Braxton Anderson, I had an aunt named Mary Jones Anderson," I said mostly to myself but evidently the woman heard it. "Mam? Is everything ok?" She asked putting a hand on my shoulder. I closed my eyes shut, the world seemed to be spinning. My eyes popped open like my head. "She's my cousin....." I said.
