Horse Whisperer (Hiatus)

Chapter 2

We arrived at my car and hopped in. "Do you mind telling me where you live?" Martha asked as we got situated in the car. "It's Abbey Road. Number 11."I said looking into the hospital and watching the nurses and doctors running back and forth. When we arrived at my house. we just sat in the car. "I know this was hard for you and if you need to talk to someone or talk about it just come by my house and I wouldn't mind. Your aunt and I worked together before she had Marcus." Martha said turning towards me in the driver's seat the best she could.  "Well I better get going. Will you be okay?" Martha asked getting out of the car.

"Yeah I'll be okay. And I will remember that I can come over but I will call just to make sure it's okay." Martha gave a nod and headed of towards her house. I stayed in the car until I realized that Rocky was in the trailer. I got Rocky out and put her in the stall. Then I put the tack in the tack room and her grooming box in front of her stall. "Hey girl. Did you hear what happened?" I asked while getting in the stall. I sat down in a corner of the stall and Rocky walked over to me and nuzzled me with her muzzle. Whenever I need to tell someone something, I always came to Rocky's stall and talked to her.  " Mom died. She got hurt by another horse." Rocky gave a sad nicker.  "It's okay. Aunt Sally and Marcus are going to live with us here. And I think you'll like Marcus." Rocky shook her up and down like she wanted to play. I giggled and stood up.

"I gotta go. See you  tomorrow." I left Rocky's stall and headed inside.

3 Years Later

I moved in Sally, Sam, and Marcus just yesterday. They allowed me to bring my horses since they had a barn. Sally and Sam were at work and I was sitting on the couch with Marcus watching Spongebob Squarepants. Then my cell started to ring.

"The sun goes down, the stars come out. And all that counts, is here and now. My universe will never be the same. I'm glad you came-"

"Hello." "Hey Luna. Do you mind picking up Marcus and taking him to his doctor's appointment?" Sally said in a rush. I hesitated. I've never been a fan of doctors, and hospital's but the one time I didn't mind was my mom's accident. I sighed,  "Sure. What time is the appointment?" "At 3:00." "Thanks.... Aunt Sally." "Your welcome honey." I hung up and looked at Marcus. "Ready for your appointment?" He nodded and ran outside to my black Lamborghini Gallardo. I picked up my keys and purse and got in the driver's seat.  "Can we get ice cream after?" Marcus said. I looked through the back view mirror to look at Marcus. "Sure." I smiled and continued down the road to the hospital.

We arrived at the hospital and I held Marcus' hand as we walked through the doors of the hospital. We walked to the front desk. "Hello, I'm here for Marcus Leevy." I said and Martha turned around and gave me a smile as her hello. I smiled back. "Alright fill out this paper and then hand it to the doctor when you are called." the nurse behind the desk said. "Thank you." I took the paper and sat down next to Marcus in front of the TV playing  Finding Nemo. I finished filling out the paper in 5 minutes and then decided to watch some of the movie. "Marcus Leevy." the nurse called. "Alright buddy that's us." I said nudging Marcus' arm. We followed the nurse and went into the examination room. "Dr. Richie will be with you in a moment." Then the nurse walked out of the room. I took deep breaths. "It's okay Lu-Lu. You will be fine." I gave a weak smile and  then then the doctor came in.

"Hello, I'm Dr. Richie. How are you guys today?" Dr. Richie said washing his hands. "We're fine." Marcus answered for us. Then the doctor went to Marcus and started the examination.  "Alright now Marcus does anything hurt? Or has anything hurt lately?" "My chest hurts alot but then it goes away." Dr. Richie nodded. "Marcus please come with me." Dr. Richie said opening the door.  "Where are you going?" I said in a scared whisper. "I am going to see if anything is wrong with his lungs or heart." "Okay." I sat in the room for 5 minutes and then the door opened.

 Marcus and the doctor walked back in. "Miss. May I speak with you for minute?" "Sure." I walked out into the hall with the doctor. "Marcus has a weak heart. He only has a few  months to live. There is nothing to do for it. I'm so sorry." I couldn't believe what I just heard. It was like my mother's death but ten times worse.  "It's okay. Marcus! Come on we're going."  I snatched up my purse and grabbed Marcus' hand and led him to the car. "What's wrong?" "It's-" "Did it get to you?" "Yes, Marcus. It did." I can't believe I just lied to him. But its for the best.

We got ice cream and we were on our way home when my cell started to ring. "Hello?" "Marcus? Hey its mommy. How was the appointment?" "Um...It went well, I guess." "You guess? Marcus tell Luna that I would like to speak to her when you get home okay?" "Okay. Bye mom." "Bye sweetie." "My mom needs to speak to you when we get home." "Okay. Thanks Marcus." When we got home we came in and saw Sally and Sam on the couch. I sat down on the love seat and so did Marcus. "What's wrong?" I asked after sitting down.
