Elena's POV
I've been talking to Skylar about Jacob's Surprise party and we have all the details. It will be tonight in the hay barn at 6:00pm. We have a bunch of friends helping set it up. We're lighting a bonfire and there's a creek in the dark to have a little fun 😉. But my present for him is my favorite! I got him a dog tag with a special engraving on it. "Elena? Are you still on planet earth?" Oops my English teacher caught me daydreaming. "Yes I'm here." "Ok what is the quote I just told the class?" My lap vibrated and I looked at my phone, Jacob had sent me a text about the answer. "Today is only one day in all the days that will ever be. But what will happen in all the other days that ever come can depend on what you do today. Ernest Hemingway." I smiled at her and continued doodling, or so she thought.
E- Thanks Bae!<3
J- NP ;p <3 what were you thinking about anyways?
E- Just stuff...
J- Ah sure... she's looking, talk after class :*<3
E- Kk :*<3
The bell rang and we went to lunch.
"Hey look who decided to show up!" Jaimie commented causing everyone to laugh. "Hey let's all hang at our place tonight!" Skylar announced raising her water bottle. "Yeah!" I agreed.
After school we got to the house and got dressed for the party. Skylar and I are choosing each other's dresses for the party. I have no idea what she has in store for me. She walked out with a deep purple knee length dress, the dress had a sequined belt and shoulder straps. The dress was tight fitting on the top and was loose at the skirt. I put it on with my brown Ariats and went to choose her outfit. I looked through our combined dresses and found a beautiful light blue high-low with a metallic inner skirt and a swirling sequined belt, it was a strapless. I brought out her white cross Ariats and her special black felt hat. When I showed her the outfit she actually smiled and looked genuinely excited to put it on. We got dressed then went to see the guys.
Guys picking out fits in Jacob's POV
We didn't dress super fancy just a simple pearl snap and wranglers, along with boots and hats. My shirt was a purple-black color with black pearls. Levi wore a black shirt with blue stitching and blue pearls. After slipping our hats on we walked to the living room and waited for the girls to get ready. The girls came out and we escorted them out to the horses. I know we are having a double date for my birthday at the hay barn because we are low and need to get a new load. We rode out to the barn, giant shed with a large round pen for the horses, Levi and I offered to take care of all the horses. Levi finished before me and went inside, when I was done I walked to the side door. When I opened the door all our friends yelled,"Surprise!" I jumped but laughed and hugged Elena when she came over.
********************************************They danced all night to their favorite songs, everything was great! Then the door opened again. Everyone looked over to see who the late show was, Ele and Sky almost started crying at the sight. "Well well well! What is this? A party? It can't be for miss Ele...or Skypie so it's got to be for Jacob or Levi." Sawyer smiled his crazy smile. "Sawyer leave before you get hurt!" Jacob said stepping in front of Ele. "I'm not going anywhere!" He pulled out a knife. "Your barn is already burning so don't worry about saving your horses!" Sky and Ele started running for the back door. "Get back here! You won't get away!" Jacob and Levi grabbed Sawyer and ripped the knife out of his hands. Then they hog tied him and called the police.Skylar and Elena ran out to jump on the horses they rode here then galloped back to the barn. There they grabbed a hose and put out the hay fire before it destroyed anything other than the feed room. Which was in need of a restock anyways. They checked all the horses and headed back to the party to find the cops taking Sawyer back to jail.
The rest of the party went smoothly, they opened presents, had cake, and played games. At about one am everyone finally went home.
One week later
The girls and guys have been practicing nonstop for the upcoming NFR. They have a tight schedule with school, friends, practice, and keeping the property together. But somehow they make it all work.So this book sadly has to come to an end. It will be very soon. I may have a few chapters left, but just a warning it may only be one left. In the future I may add more on to this book whenever I have the time.
Thanks for reading!
