Niall was getting tired, and so was I. We weren't that close to the barn yet. The moon was coming up and the sun was gone.

"Can we stop and rest for a little while?" Niall asked.

"Sure thing." I said. I walked through the brush to find a tiny clearing with a creek running next to it. Niall walked over to lay under a tree and yawned. I joined him.

Before we knew it, we were both asleep. I don't know how long we slept, but we slept.

However something woke us up.

Niall jolted awake and stood up. I quickly joined him. Twigs and dried leaves cracked as something neared us. It was to dark to see.

A shadowy figure walked out of the cover of the trees and stood in the moonlight.

Then it started to graze.

"Moon!" Niall yelled. The lifted up her head and neighed.

Niall mounted her and helped me up. We set off again on our way home.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Lads! They're back!" I heard Louis shout. All four boys ran out of the house as I dismounted Moon.

"Long story short Moon ran away and we fell asleep on our way back then she found us." I said.

Niall led Moon back to the barn. Liam took a step forward.

"The fans leaked our addresses and we have nowhere to go." He said.

"Well the two girls just moved out and we have three extra bedrooms so go right ahead." I said. I was a bit weary of five boys moving in, but I shrugged it off. I can trust them, right?

Niall had joined me as I started to walk back to the house. I smiled at him then walked inside.

"C'mon Niall let's go." Zayn said. All five boys left to go back to their own places for possibly the last time.

In the meantime I walked upstairs and into my room to take a shower. I rinsed off all the dirt and made sure I smelled like vanilla extract.

I pulled on my pajamas then crawled into bed, not caring if the boys were home or not.

~~~~~~~~~~

The door opened to my bedroom. I still pretended to be asleep. Someone kissed my forehead - Niall - and left the room. I fell asleep once again.

~~~~~~~~~~

"Wakey Wakey I got some Eggs and bakey!" Harry yelled from downstairs.

I shot out of bed and ran down the stairs. Harry served me eggs and bacon. As I ate I realized that he was wearing an apron that says 'I love Louis'

Why is he wearing an apron?

I shook my head and finished my breakfast.

"Thanks Harry." I smiled.

I walked back up the stairs and into my bathroom. I took a quick shower then brushed my teeth and hair. I pulled on my jeans and a white top. I then put on my boots and belt. I walked out to the barn. Renegade neighed at me.

"Whoa there boy I'm comin." I said. The stable hands have already fed everyone.

I took Renegade out of his stall. I brushed him down then started to tack him up. His leg seems fine today so I decided that he needed to be ridden.

I placed his bridle on his neck then mounted. Ren walked on, eager to get started. I entered the arena and did a bit of warming up. Renegade trotted smoothly. I kissed him into a canter and he listened. Renegade did everything I asked and I am thankful for it.

I had to run him once. Just once. I walked over to the barrel arena. Renegade started to get hyper so I let him go. We spun around the first barrel then spun around the next. Renegade ran for the third then ran for home. I smiled and patted his sweaty neck.

"Good boy Ren. Good boy."

Renegade was breathing heavily in the heat. I took off all his tack and rinsed him with the hose. He nickered as I walked to the tack room. I left him to dry.

I'm so lucky to have such an amazing horse.
