Chapter 5

Chapter 5

"Morning" I cooed as I entered the barn.

I missed this smell so much this week and after my horrible day at school all because of wanting to listen to a song, my parents almost didn't want to let me come today.

" Morning" Liz replied almost lifeless as she scooped up oats from the dark blue bin, to feed the horses.

She was normally always happy and even during the worst of times she managed to add that wonderful smile to her face, which today almost seemed like it took a trip to the moon and couldn't find it's way back. As I stood there and examined her behavior I was so curious to see what was making her so mad or was it sad, i didn't know! This wasn't like her and I was going to figure it out.

After she finished filling the buckets, she simply handed them to me without saying a word always holding that blank expression on her face, which was so hard to make out her emotions. I took the buckets gracefully and gave her a weak but seadling smile and walked off to feed the horses. I started off with Casey, he was one of my favorites and we had such a inseparable bond, I don't know what I'd ever do without that horse. He was a light brown quarter horse about 39 years old, Liz had found him in an empty field almost starved to death, it was horrible! He looked dreadful, it was to the point that he was so weak he couldn't walk, watching him try wanted to make you burst out crying, I had nightmares for that horse. The thought of knowing he was in such bad condition that when you came back, you didn't know if he would be there. That horse has been though hell and back, his so called 'owner ' would leave him out in the fields for days with the oldest and worst looking halter I've ever seen, as she was out partying with her friends and doing drugs and if that wasn't horrible, when he was almost all skin and bone being the 270 pound woman she was, she still rode him. I felled so connected to him, he was almost my own.

I realized he was wearing a blanket which I knew he hated, something suspicious was going on and I was going to figure it out, but first things first I had to finish feeding the horses.

************************************

All the horses where fed and it was time to get down to business. I walked past all the horses going back to the front of the barn, where Casey stayed. I quickly placed the empty food buckets on the ground of the feed room and made my way to Casey. Liz and the 3 stable hands, Ethan, Jake and David were outside and yes I said David, he also works at Liz's with me so if seeing him 5 days a week wasn't enough, I had to see him on Saturdays also. I looked at Casey, seeing as he hates blankets and he had one on maybe that had something to do with the situation. I walked closer to him to try to remove the blanket and see what was hiding underneath, he whinnied at me and pressed his head up against me.

" Oh boy, how I love you !" I pet his head for a few moments before pushing it away remembering why I was here.

I unhooked the closures to the blanket and lifted it off his back. I looked at him in shock, I stared and could feel a couple warm tears spread down my face. He has lost so much weight, you could almost count his ribs, and it suddenly hit me why Liz was so quiet.He was dying!! He was fine last week and in one week he lost all that weight, my mind couldn't wrap around the thought of losing him.

I ran out to Liz with tears steaming down my face which I tried to stop but am unsuccessful. David looked at me almost worried and before he could open his mouth, I started to speak.

" Why didn't you tell me?" I almost yelled, which I felled bad for but didn't say anything, if Casey was going to die, I had the right to know, he was almost my horse too, I loved him more than anything.

" Eva calm down." she said soothingly.

" Why didn't you tell me!?' I repeated.

" Eva!" David yells trying to calm me down, he started to hug me but I pushed him away.

"Why?" at that point I didn't even understand why I wad screaming or crying, I knew Casey wasn't my horse but it sure as hell felled like it.

" Eva I was going to tell you."

" But you didn't ." I said,my voice calming down but tears still streaming down my face.

" He's getting old." She simply said before storming off, I now realized what I've done.

Liz must have had such a hard week and I know that she would have told me if it wasn't so hard, she tells me everything and I didn't come to realize that it's her horse and although I love him, she has to be having a harder time going through this.
