Hooves on the Heart: Book 1 Start of Steele

Prologue

I was helping my friend Charlotte pack my room, since my family was moving today. She had just turned to me with tears in her eyes cradling one of my favorite of the many breyer horse collection I owned. The horse was a dapple-grey quarter horse and was my dream horse , the one I planned to own someday. " Khloe I am going to miss you so much." she sobbed. I started crying myself pulling her into a hug, and we stayed that way for a few minutes. Finally pulling apart, we wiped our faces with the back of our sleeves. " I am going to miss you too Charlotte, and I want you to keep the horse." I stated, pointing to the Breyer. We heard my mom yell up that it was time to go. " Thanks Khloe." Charlotte said as she hugged the horse placing it in her backpack. We both picked up the last two boxes, and proceeded down the stairs out to the moving van where my family was waiting. Charlotte and I placed the boxes on the ground and turned to each other one last time. We embraced each other in another small hug. " You make sure to facetime me every day ok." I declared." I will." Charlotte replied.

Turning around I climbed into the backseat with my sister Noel, sandwiching the boxes between us. My dad started the car, and we pulled out of the driveway. I waved at Charlotte goodbye until she was out of sight. " You going to be, ok?" My sister Noel asked me. I turned to her with tears in my eyes and a smile on my face. " Yep. I hate leaving Charlotte, but I'm so excited about this new start. " I replied. Noel nodded going back to reading her book, and I turned back out looking at the window. I really was excited my family was finally able to buy our own farm, and maybe just maybe I will be able to get a horse of my very own someday soon.
