The horse that could jump heaven.

Empty. [1]

I woke up the next morning, tired and hungry. It was the Friday of the first dressage class my dad had signed me up for. I woke myself up that morning, I opened my curtains and got changed for school. I wore a skirt which was halfway up my knee and a white blouse. I put on some plain black flats then went to the bathroom to wash, curl my hair and brush my teeth. The morning didn't feel right, the house felt empty, damp and quite. I went downstairs to get my breakfast from my mother, I looked around, there was no one there. My dad wasn't there either. I saw a note on the kitchen table, it read:

Sorry Daisy, we're going to Miss Cameron's house for a couple of days. We really like it, but no children aloud sorry

Mom.

It didn't even have a kiss or love on it. What had happened? Why didn't they tell me they were going there? I felt slightly hurt. I got a bannana from the table top and ate it while I began to text Aaliyah about this morning.

Hey darlingg!x My mum isn't in this morning, either is my dad. So wanna pop around and skip school with me or something? :p

text me back asaap!x

lovve, your amazing best friend.

She didn't reply for a while, after about ten minutes I felt my phone vibrate in my skirt pocket. I picked it up quickly, eager for a hopeful good day ahead.

Um, no. Sorry.

Going school with Leah.

My best friend just ditched me. For some girl called Leah? Who the hell was Leah and why was she interfering with our friendship? She can move. My heart sunk a little, I wasn't gonna skip school on my own, yet I couldn't be bothered to go to school. It was the last day and we were bound to get tones of homework, ew. In the end I decided not to go to school, I was gonna get the bus and see Henry. I went upstairs to get changed into some black jogging pants, a white top and and red converse. I tied up my now dogey curly hair into a ponytail and went to get my keys. I brought my bag and went to the door. I locked the door to the house and headed for the bus stop.

 The weather was cold and damp but the sun was shining in the sky with a couple of dirty clouds lingering around. I could still see my breath in the air. I lined up at the bus stop, I saw a few people at the bus stop who were from my school, I got dirty looks all around. I wished I put a hoodie on now, to cover my face up. The bus came, I payed my money and sat near the front, no one sat near the front. Hopefully no one would recongnize me.

 I got to the barn tired and a reck. A few people came up to me, saying they will grass on me, not that I cared. I saw a few people mess around with there horses in the barn, like seven or eight. There was a few outside too, getting there horses out of there pastures. I went and got my headcollar for Henry, I prepared a hay net before that and tied it up in his stable. He didn't give me a second glance in the field, I called him over and he didn't even look, I had to go all the way around the pasture to go and get him. He didn't like me putting on his headcollar and had his ears pinned back, he tried to bite me a couple of times to. I held the leadrope a lot tighter then i usually do, he kept trying to nip my hand, I punished him by tapping him on the nose which he did not like, he didn't give up though. Even Henry hated me now, what had I done. I sighed as I put him in the stable. I went to go to my tackroom to listen to the radio while I was starting to do my jobs. Then I heard clicking of heels going down the barn, I came out and it was Aaliyah and Leah.

"Ew, look who it is." Aaliyah pointed at me and Leah laughed.

"....Aaliyah?" my voice was quite and frail, I felt like I was about to break into a million peices.

"Don't talk." Leah put her finger to her lips doing a shush action.

"Have you seen her hair?" Aaliyah laughed and pointed to me once again. I couldn't describe my emotions at that moment. I then noticed what Aaliyah was wearing, a short tank top, heels and skin tight shorts, she'd never wear that. Her hair was straightened and her skin was like doritio's, just like Leah's.

"What are you wearing?" I questioned her outfit, lifting up my hand slightly.

"Says you! Who wears yoga pants now? HAHAHA!" They both laughed once again.

"Have you seen her horse, Leah?" Aaliyah whispered loudly into Leah's ear, staring me in the soul.

"I know! Isn't he fat and lazy! He has such a terrible seat apparently. I heard he get's fed HAY! poor thing!"

"...Shut up." I looked to the ground, I wanted to cry so bad. Tears were alreaddy welming up in my eyes.

"He's a rubbish jumper to!" Leah added.

"I know right! And his coat is greasy! Eugh!" They both continued to hurt me as my heart started to break.

"No, no he isn't." My voice rose louder.

"I feel so bad for him. He could have such a good life with a decent rider! But no, this ugly shitty rider bought him." Leah put her hands to her hips standing close to Leah.

"NO!" I fell to the ground in tears, they were rolling down my cheeks. My cheeks went red yet my body felt stone cold. I felt like an idiot. Everyone else in the stable wasn't even noticing my heart break. They continued on like nothing was happening. I was there, dying.

"Yes, you think your amazing. Your not. Your horse is doing everything for you and your just sitting there like a skank!" Aaliyah shouted in my ear. I continued to cry.

"SHUT UP! HOW DO YOU KNOW THAT?" I screemed back, twice as loud. 

"So it's true? Bitch! You mistreat your horse to! People like you should be reported. You feel empty inside don't you, empty. You know your rubbish but no you've got this amazing horse you think your all that." Leah tuted. No one even cared about me anymore. 

"HOW DO YOU KNOW WHAT I'M THINKING!" I could bearlly speak now, I was croacking up. Words hurt. 

"Go away. No one wants you here." Aaliyah pointed towards the door. I got up and ran out. Screaming and crying. I went to go to the bus stop to go home, before I got there I saw my mother and father. I ran up to them crying.

"Um. Stop it. You look stupid." My mum stepped back before I tried to hug her. She didn't want me either.

"Go away Daisy. No one wants you." My dad said, holding my mum around the waist so I couldn't touch her. I didn't say anything. I didn't move. I didn't breath. I trembled then fell to the floor. I closed my eyes, but I couldn't stop them. They wouldn't open. What was happening? Wait! No! STOP!
