Ryan's POV
I was driving back to the circus, Chloe was very quiet as she was looking out the window. Watching the trees pass by.
"You okay?" I ask her as I take a quick glance at her, before glancing back at the road ahead of me. I had no idea what to say after what just happened. She was being so quiet. I just wanted her happy, though she was extremely upset. I could tell. She wasn't even speaking.
"Come on Chlo" I whisper as I take her hand in mine, my eyes take another glance at her before back on the road. I can't help but smile when her hand grips onto mine "talk to me" I add, she takes a breath
"When my parents retire, I get the circus. Ry I can't lose that. Every generation of my family had this circus. I can't be the one to lose it" she says starting to cry, oh god. I can't stand girls crying, my grip tightens on her hand
"Chlo you won't, okay it's okay" I tell her as I pull over on the side of the road. I take my seat belt off before looking over at her "i won't let anything bad happen" I promise her.
"My wrist hurts" she says crying more, oh god. She's starting to have a breakdown. I lean over and take her seat belt off before pushing my seat back and pulling her onto my lap. Chloe instantly buried her head in my shoulder as she cries.
"Chlo babe just take a deep breath" I tell her trying my hardest to calm her, my hand gently rubs her back as I hold her. I hated her crying, I hated the fact they could of hurt her.

"You right?" I ask Chloe as I take my seat belt off. Before glancing over at Chloe. She nods slowly before she sighs and gets out of the car.
I get out and follow her back to the tent, we had just gotten home. Chloe is still upset, she cried the rest of the way back to the tent.
"Yes" she whispers, just as holly comes over. She looked like she was crying "what's wrong?"Chloe asks as Holly hugs her
"It's belle" holly whispers crying, shit. Chloe quickly pulls away from the hugs and runs over to the yards. Holly and I follow after her. I sigh when I see belle laying on her side her head on the ground. Jack, Mitch and Chloe's parents are here
"What's wrong?" Chloe asks getting onto her knees before sitting down on the ground and moving the miniature ponies head into her lap.
"She's not doing to well Chlo" mr hosterman says as Chloe gently pats belles face.
"But she'll be okay tho right?" Chloe asks starting to cry again, Holly had gotten herself under control but tears in her eyes where still visible, the boys just stayed silent. Mitch as at belles back gently patting down her back as Chloe's dad was knelt down beside belles stomach. Jack stood up and walked over to Holly as mrs hosterman just stayed still, looking down.
"The vet recommended putting her down, she's suffering Chloe" mr hosterman says, chloe shakes her head making tears blur my vision as I kneel down beside Chloe, her eyes down on belles head as she kept it in her lap.
"No. She'll be okay" Chloe says crying
"Chloe she's been poisoned bad" Mrs hosterman tells her daughter. we all know who did this then.
"I don't care! She'll be okay! We aren't killing her" Chloe yells
"She's suffering Chlo. The vet said she won't make it over night" mr hosterman says, I move my hand placing it on Chloe's shoulder. Trying to comfort her.
"Don't touch me" Chloe says pushing my hand away as she leans down resting her head on belles head. "Leave me alone!" She adds keeping her face buried in belles head. I was almost crying. I know how much belle means to Chloe. Mr hosterman tells jack, Holly and Mitch to go before they all leave Chloe and I alone with belle.
"You too" Chloe mumbles into belles face
"I'm not going Chickadee" I tell her as she starts crying, she doesn't move from her place. She was hugging belles face tightly as she cried. I moved my hand to Chloe's back, they will pay for hurting Chloe like this. They will pay for hurting belle. Belle is more then just a horse to Chloe. We all know that.
"I can't lose her" Chloe says crying into belles face. This was going to be a long afternoon
This is sad 😭😭 poor belle, do you think belle will live?
