Chapter 2

"You got everything?"asked September setting 2 black duffle bags down.

I set a dark green duffle bag down and held tightly to my black Samsung S6.

She drove me to the airport and I turned to September and said, "I don't think I want to do this anymore,"

"Sure you can!"September sniffed.

I hugged her and she hugged me.

"I love you,"I whispered.

"I love you too my dear,"She whispered.

I looked deep into her blue eyes for the last time and I began to cry.

"Bye,"September told me.

"Hello you are Abbigal Ross right?"asked a woman with a blue pantsuit and blond pixie cut hair.

"Yes.....I'm going to Wa-,"I began and she finished, "Waco Texas!"

I was seated in a plane seat and I immediately fell asleep becuase of all my anxiety.

Someone tapped me on the shoulder and I woke up and the same woman said, "your father is here,"

I jumped up ignoring how tired I was and grabbed my duffle bags and she lead  me to a man, my father.

"Dad!"I exclaimed running to him.

"Abbie!"he gasped hugging me.

I didn't notice how much I missed him until I was embraced in his arms.

"Daddy,"I whispered.

I noticed that Max was nowhere in sight and I stared at my daddy's dark brown eyes like mine and asked, "Where's Max?"

"At the stable,"he replied with a smile plastered on his face.

"Stable?"I asked getting excited.

"Yep,"he reassured.

I grasped his hand and then he picked two of my duffle bags up but never left the grip
of of my hand.

"Sorry about the truck,"he exclaimed getting into the red FordF150 that had tack,and grooming supplies scattered in the back.

The two duffle bags made a slight thud and the last one which contained all my clothes I held in my lap.

"So do you have a lot of horses?"I asked.

"Yep,"he replied.

"Before I came here I had my own horse.A beautiful dapple grey mare named Pepper,"I explained.

"Oh then you will love your horse,"Dad chuckled.

"You mean I have my OWN horse?"I asked with a smile growing on my face.

"Yes her name is Molly. A gorgeous dun paint mare.She has a little bit of trust issues but I think you can work with her,"daddy explained.

"My friend Gabby has a oh wait I mean had a horse with trust issues kinda,"I explained.

"What do you mean had?"he asked.

"We took it because she never took care of it,"I huffed.

"What!"he shouted.

"When I went over to her house the water bucket was completely dry, and when he's hungry he flips his bowl over and he had it flipped over and he was nosing it so he was very hungry.And there was no hay in sight!"I explained.

"Good thing September let you take in a horse,"he chuckled.

"Yeah......September is going to work with him,"I sighed.
