------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I slowly opened my eyes. Where the hell was I? I tried to sit up and a sharp pain rippled through my side. Ouchie! That hurt dammit! I looked around. I was in a hospital bed, hooked up to a lot of wires. I was in a very ugly hospital gown with an open back. I had at least 15-20 stitches up my left side. I looked to the side of the bed and saw a blonde boy sitting in the hospital chair. He had his head down, like he was sleeping and I could not see his face. Who was he? Why did he look so familiar? Where was my family? Ouch! My head was pounding.

Suddenly a doctor walked into the room.

"Good, your awake. How are you feeling? Now what do you remember?" he asked.

"Okay I guess. I remember I was at the closing ceremony with Niall Horan and I saw something silver. I think it was a gun, and then, everything went black. What happened?" I explained, then asked.

"You were shot. A crazy fan came and shot at me. He missed, obviously, and got you instead. I'm so, so sorry. Really, I apologize deeply." the blonde boy finally lifted his head and spoke. I recognized him as Niall Horan. I would have fangirled, but my side and my head hurt way to much.

"Okay, so where is everyone else? Where is Ava? How long have I been asleep?" I suddenly asked flooding the doctor with questions.

Then the other members of One Direction came in, along with Megan, Lia, and Sarah.

"Two days, Ava has gone home, along with everyone else, your father was busy with the show. Your mom had to take care of the barn at home, even though she regrets leaving, and you are in my care until you go home." Sarah annswered my question.

"Oh, okay" I murmured softly, drifting back into a dreamless sleep. Now that I knew Ava was okay, a huge weight was lifted off my shoulders.

~Next day~

I was being discharged from the hospital. I was going home. And One Direction was coming with me as they were on a break from tour. The closing ceremony was there last performance and because of the shooting, management and security did not want them on planes or traveling home until this all blew over. They all felt bad about me getting shot because of them, especially Niall. He was such a sweetie. My dad and mom insisted they stay with on the farm for a little while.

We went in 2 cars. The boys in one car, in which had a driver, and Sarah driving me, Lia, and Megan back to my family farm. On the drive back, we jammed out to Kenny Chesney, Miranda Lambert, and Brad Paisley. As a barn, we are big fans of country music.

Afte a 3 hour drive back to the farm, we finally pulled in the gates. I gently swung myself out of the SUV and landed safely on the ground. The boys black van pulled in behind us and all 5 of them headed over to our car. I immediately ran down to the barn as fast as I possibly could. As I got to the front I slowed down not wanting to scare any of the horses and calmly walked inside. I was greeted by a cheerful Ava in her stall, the first one when you walk in. I walked inside and said hello. I missed and felt I never got to give her the proper "Thank You" she deserved for performing so well at Finals. After a couple minutes, I left her to her hay and moved on to Maddie's stall to say hi. I had not seen her in over a week and missed her just as much as Ava. These 2 horses were my babies. It is hard to explain the bond between a girl and her horses.

Maddie gave me a snort of hello and I gave her a treat or 2 before exiting the stall. I sat there for awhile and watched my 2 girls with admiration and thought of Dylan. The old working cow horse was a father to Maddy and I saw him whenever I looked at her. I still missed him. He was my first horse and he was special to me. I figured Megan understood that I wanted my time with them and told the boys to wait in the house. As if on cue, she walked in softly, careful not to disturb my thoughts. I turned to her with tears in my eyes, because of Dylan and something else. I had just realized, with my hurt side I might be unable to show for awhile.
