Life in a saddle

Chapter 33

Stevie was in a lot of pain, her side was in agony and when she fell back she hit her head off a wooden bar and felt a bit dizzy at times.

" how are you feeling?" Phil asked holding her hand as she forced herself from sleep.

" it's so sore," she groaned as red looked at her and Lisa with sympathetic eyes, at this moment he hated his cousin, he didn't care if he was family or not, he just wanted him to leave pine hollow.

" maybe we should get you to the hospital," red said as Stevie shook her head.

" no, I'm okay, I just need to sleep it off."

red stood behind Lisa as he looked down and then both and all of a sudden laugh.

" what's funny?" Lisa asked.

" he's meant to be my cousin, my family. Not hurt all the people in my life, First my girlfriend and now my best friends girlfriend... it's not right it must be some kind of joke, that's why I'm laughing, this is all a joke," he said trying to hide his anger with the laughter.

Lisa gave a sympathetic smile knowing that me must be going through a hard time, Liam turned on everyone, even scooter. They now didn't know where they stood with scooter, yes they were all annoyed he had turned on them and pretended the Yetvy was really, but now Liam's turned on him for ebbing nice, for this reason, no one wanted to leave him hanging.

" I hope Max isn't giving scooter into trouble, it wasn't his fault," Stevie groaned as phil squeezed her hand tighter as she comfortably rested.

" Max, he's gone crazy!" Scooter said banging his hand off the table as Max sat there wondering what has come over Liam lately.

" I still need to discuss the topic with Stevie and Lisa but I know you scooter, you wouldn't start a fight. I don't know Liam, but I know red and when I accepted Liam into pine hollow Red reassured me I was doing the right thing and that Liam was the most hard working, pleasant person you could ever meet. And until you all went camping he was, so what's changed?" Max questioned scooter as he shrugged his shoulders.

" I honestly couldn't tell you max, but he's gone crazy he needs serious help," scooter said as he thought to himself for a bit, " hang on... all he wants is attention, but not attention from you or the girls, he wants red back."

Max paused for a second before he nodded in agreement, " I think your right scooter, I can't have anyone acting like he is around pine hollow so I'm gonna have to talk to red soon. Thanks for your help."

Scooter smiled, " anytime max."

Stevie felt like crap, moving was a challenge for her at this point.

" Stevie how you feeling?" Phil asked as he sat beside the sofa she was lying on as Carole, Lisa and red were all sat at the table deep in thought.

" I think I've broken a rib," she moaned as red pulled out his car keys.

" come on Stevie I'll drive you to a hospital to get checked," he said as Stevie shook her head.

" no red I'm okay, I just need rest. Thanks though," she smiled as red looked at her with sad eyes when Lisa got up and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

" where you off too?" He asked.

" I can't find prancers red schooling bridle, think I must have left it where we went camping so I'm gonna take a walk down there to try and find it."

" keep your phone on you," he replied as she smiled and left.

" hope she doesn't cross paths with Liam," red sighed as Carole put her hand on his shoulder.

" I think if she did  she'd beat the shit out of him for what he's done to Stevie!" Carole laughed," don't worry red, she's a strong girl."

" I know."
