*Hailey's POV*
I was in the barn while dad brought the last bail of hay in. I was wondering what breed of horse we would be picking up. "Dad...?" Once I saw him come into view I asked, "when are we going to pick up the new horse? I can't wait!!" I was very excited that we were actually getting a new horse. Last time we got a new horse, was when we went to get a thoroughbred horse we eventually named Thunder because he was dapple gray, and every time he would gallop along through the fields his hooves would make the perfect sound of thunder, but that was about 2 years ago. "I'm pretty sure we will take a 3 hour long drive to go pick him up, but that will be a couple weeks away."
Why do the most exciting things have to be so far away...?? :(
*Dad's POV*
Well anyway, after Hailey asked me about the new horse I kinda freaked.... I hope we have enough money to even take care of it.*_*
Ashley(my wife) and I didn't want to tell Hailey and our smallest Jack that we might have to sell the farm and move because of all the vet fees and bills that we were running across.
*Hailey's POV*
I checked my phone to check the time, It was 7:30 and I had an unread message from Gracye. " I quickly read
Gracye:
"Hey do u wanna come over in a couple days I'm also inviting Tori!!!?"
Hailey:
"I will try but if my dad says no, well I'm not going down without a fight so ya I can't wait!!!"

"Mom and Jack should be getting up soon." I glanced up at dad while putting away my phone."we better get inside and cleaned up before breakfast then," He said casually."Yes, sir,"I agreed politely as I was heading for the house. I let Cassy out as I opened the door. She is our 5 month old German Shepherd. Jack greeted Dad and I at the door with a fresh smell of biscuits\eggs\and sausage\with a hint of bacon added on."morning mom,"I said as I walked through the door. "Morning sweetie,"she said with a bothered look on her face.
I wonder what's wrong with her....!?? Dad was acting strange too -_-...?!?
*Mom's POV*
I woke up to Jack going to the bathroom. I decided to just go ahead and get up and get dressed. I'm sure everyone is hungry anyway.....!!! Ohhhhhh man, I need to tell Hailey and Jack that we might have to sell the farm...!!! Before its to late.
I quickly got dressed and made my way downstairs to start breakfast. Not even 10 minutes later Dale and Hailey walked in finished unloading the hay bails I guess. Hailey quickly said, "morning mom" I was thinking of how I should tell her and jack. "Goodmorning sweetie," I was still in deep thought and I felt Hailey look at me is if she was saying, what's wrong with her....
As everyone was heading in the kitchen piling up at the table, I was putting food on plates "Hailey, can you come here and help me put plates on the table while I get some glasses of milk.."Sure mom." I heard her say very politely. As we sat the plates and glasses on the table we all settled in to have a good breakfast. We all grabbed each others hands and bowed down our heads. "Dear lord our father we want to thank you for this meal we are about to enjoy and everything you've done in our lives........ And if we ever run into any rough spots in our life I pray that you help us through them, In Jesus name Amen."
*Dad's POV*
"Amen," everyone spoke out loud. I wasn't feeling very hungry after the delicious breakfast the Reynolds served to me but I couldn't turn down some good ole homemade breakfast. Before I could even take a bite of my food, Ashley eyed me and then looked at Hailey I knew what she was saying right when she made the gesture.... Umhhhhg(clears throat).. Um.. Hailey can u take jack to his bedroom real quick we need to talk. I heard her say "yes sir" very confused sounding kn her voice. Once she came back down stairs i cleared my throat again OK so Hailey............... Um well.... "We might not be able to keep the farm." I heard Ashley say because I was taking to long to spit it out. Hailey's face was filled with sadness. Her once hazel brown eyes were filling up like a pool of water. As she looked up at me I quickly tried to utter out "Hailey I'm really....." She cut me off scooted back and out of her chair and ran out the door.
*Hailey's POV*
How could they say this they can't be listening to themselves when they said that. I quickly ran out to the stables. Very sad and frustrated at the same time.
