(A/N sorry if these chapters are too short or too long – I just didn't know how to finish the last chapter, so I decided to leave it there. Pre-warning this Is a little bit of a long chapter)

It is now the next day

(Zoe) I woke to the sound of the song Let me love you coming from my phone – charging on my bed side table. My phone said it was 2:30 GMT and there was a missed call, but I couldn't read who it was as the screen was too bright. It was strange because I didn't have anyone on the phone with that ring tone. I mean that is the ring tone of an L.A girl in love, come on. All my ring tones from my UK friends – Jade and Becky are Custom ringtones.

Becky's: Bob singing along with Becky.

Jade's: The periodic table song by asap science.

It certainly wasn't any of my family's ringtones. I decided to mute my phone for now and go back to sleep.

I woke in the morning with no more missed calls from random numbers, so I dismissed it as a weird dream.

"Morning Zoe." Grandpa greeted me as I walked into the kitchen for breakfast. "Morning" I yawned.

As I ate my breakfast of Jam on Toast Mum and dad walked in, Rosie close behind them rubbing her eyes.

"You too realise that we still Have Job's and stuff in L.A and we need to talk to Your old schools there and stuff." Dad Said. "So, we've been talking. We decided that me and your mum will fly back to L.A for 10 days to sort out somethings. This means that we will be gone when you start your schools. So, no Rosie you can't come with us."

"Oh please, please, please, pleeeeaaaasssseeee!!!!!!" Rosie begged.

"No." Dad firmly said.

"While we are away promise me, you will look after grandad and not get into any trouble "Mum added, eyeing me when she said trouble.

"Oh, so no more going after horse thieves?" I joked with a pouty face.

Mum just looked at me in response with a 'really' face 'Really?'

I got to the yard around 9:00 with Rosie tagging along to feed Bob. I fed raven and then met Rosie, so we could pop back home to change and get some stuff. Each of us at the stables gets a locker in the tack room that's for personal belongings – e.g. a change of clothes, which comes in handy when your mucking out stalls. And I was yet to get a locker as money was still tight at the stables.

We came back to the stables around ten and I led Raven and bob out to the Paddock for the day while me and Rosie mucked out the stalls and got to work cleaning tack etc. I let Rosie do the monthly tack clean and polish while I mucked out the two stalls. After I mucked out the stalls and lay fresh bedding down I started on the seasonally stall equipment clean.

(A/N I don't personally own a horse so if any of this wouldn't happen could someone let me know? Thx)

A good hour or so later I met Rosie in the tack room organising everything and giving it a spring clean. "Got board did yah?" I asked.

"Ugh everything was a mess and seriously dusty – I mean layers upon layers thick that you can't even write in it in places!" Rosie complained.

"Maybe they should employ you as the monthly spring clean lady." I joked washing my hands at the sink.

"Is that even a thing?!" Rosie said appalled.

"I don't think so, but it should be." I replied.

"Come on finish up then let's go for lunch. No one's been around for a while – I wonder where they all are, hey what day is it?" I said.

"Ok, and its Friday the 1st of sept." Rosie answered finishing the task she was doing.
