Hey, my name is Olivia Nicole, but call me Liv. Please I hate my name, I really do.
I'm from Australia, NSW Camden, I'm sure a lot of you don't know where that is, because it's only a small town and just because I'm from Australia doesn't mean I'm an upper class bogan, who's house is feral.
I'm 14 years of age and I'm a national representative for equestrian. I train at a centre called J and R Equestrian and I love it. Now you know who I am and abit about me, let's get to the reason why writing this crappy story.

So, this past year my life has fallen to many of many pieces and my life crumbles in front of me. There's only ten days left of this year, let me fill you in on what's happened this year.

It's the national qualifier, 'EA Horse Of The Year'. I'm riding around on 'Springfield Seattle' Elfrado we call him for short. He meant the god damn world to me and I would do anything for him to be back with me. We were partners in crime, we worked together perfectly.

It's our time to go in and workout, our time to prove how much we are worth it. We trot straight through knocking them out of the way with a smile on our face. "Let's do this" I say under my breath.

I come out with tears rolling down my cheeks and the biggest, brightest smile is across my face. The team is cheering. I lean down onto his neak hugging him. "We've done it elfrado, we've done it".

What I didn't know was my best friend at this moment was dying and I wasn't there to say goodbye. I wasn't there to tell her I loved her. I wasn't there to support her, because I was too busy trying to get a ticket to nationals, while she was busy trying to get a ticket to the Olympics. That day I might not of been there to catch her fall, but what I did do that day. That day I rode for her. I miss her everyday.

The next few weeks were like hell for me, I didn't qualify Elfrado, because of some cheat. I did prove to myself I'm worth it. I was forced to go to school, because "it will help you forget about it all". I'm never forget about it, I'm not just gonna forget that one of my best friends died the day and I wasn't there supporting her.

Training was so weird, it felt as like someone or something was missing and it was, she was missing. Her stable is now empty and no one uses it. Everything is still in place from when she left it.

This was only the start of my year and it was terrible already. I'm a straight 'A' student and let's just say this is gonna be the end of that streak
