Safe wings

Chapter 18

Josh's POV:

(The next day)

I wake up and walk through the hallway. I knock on Lyssa's door. I am met with a grumble and a chuckle. Lucas opens her door and I see her rolled on her stomach with a pillow over her head.

"She refuses to get up." Lucas says. I walk in and sit on her white sheets with her blue wolf blanket on it.

"Alyssa you have to get up. Trigger needs feeding and no one else is brave enough to go in." I say.

"But I can't ride! Josh! Plus today is the day the campers get here and I'm supposed to be a riding coach but if I can't coach what am I supposed to do?"

"Shhh.... I'll trade shifts with you okay? You can get to do cooking okay?"

"Fine..... but Lucas has to pick me up and take me to his room."

"Why?"

"I want a comfy tee shirt and his shirts smell good." she says.

I chuckle. "fine." Lucas walks over and I see the joy in his eyes. He looks at her with pure concern in his eyes.

"I'm glad you finally bothered to get up." he says moving her hair from her eyes before lifting her up. She smiles and wraps her arms around his neck. She snuggles into his chest and I see him smile adoringly.

I laugh "okay, see ya later okay? You still have to come meet the campers in thirty then you have to feed trigger and introduce the horses." I say. She nods.

I walk from the room and they walk to Lucas's room.

Alyssa's POV::::::

When we get to Lucas's room he gently sets me on his bed.

"I'll go get your crutches be right back okay?" He says.

I nod. I see one of his shirts. It is a green fox motocross shirt.

When he gets back I stand and walk to that shirt. It is dirty but he only wore it to bed one night. I hold it up questioningly and he nods.

"Thanks Lucas." I say.

He smiles at me and then kisses my forehead.

"I'm gonna go on out to tack up Myra for my class okay? If you need help Sierra is down in the kitchen. Help yourself to anything in here. Be careful see you in a few." he says.

"Okay. Bye." I say. He leaves and I slide into Lucas's shirt. It smells so good. Then I walk to my room and put on some jeans. I forgot some boots since mummy ruined my old ones. I walk to Lucas's room and carefully slide on some boots. My foot hurts but I grit my teeth and then begin to go down the steps.

When I finally get out the front door the boys have gotten the campers all lined up at the stables. They already all have on their bright orange camp shirts. It says "Camp Cornered Corrals".

I smile. This is a camp for kids 13-15.

"And this is our last councilor Alyssa." Josh says. Lucas puts his arms on my shoulders. I lean into his side. One girl glares at me and I glance at her. She is blonde with long hot pink nails and she has two other girls flanking her who also have on tight pants and pink glittering shirts. Their boots are black with rhinestone on them. They all look the same as in outfits.

Each kid says their name and age. When it gets to their turn the blonde girl who glares at me goes first "Amanda I'm 15." then her brunette friend "Lisi 15" lastly her redhead friend "Tara 15."
