The Unexpected Riders From France A Free Rein Fanfic

Chapter 10

-Amelia's POV-

I am going to have the perfect summer. Perfect person to stay and work with, cute boys, and no Hunter to steal the spotlight. I never got any recognition back home. Hunter was always at the center of attention and I was buried in the shadows. Now that I'm out of that mess, I can be the best person. Well, one of the Brightfield boys my be better than me. Mark is training him. I think he should be teaching Mark. I think I heard his name was Marcus. He totally looks like a Marcus. 

"Hey, you okay?"

I look up from my phone to see Mia standing a the door. She's leaning against the frame of the door. 

"Yeah, I'm all good. Why do you ask?"

"You just seemed a little off at dinner and I wanted to make sure that everything was alright."

"I told you that I'm fine, Mia." I snap

"Alright then. I'll see you in the morning, I guess."

"Fine. Goodnight."

This summer sucks!

-Pin's POV-

How does she do this? I don't understand. I go to her house in the worst mood ever and then I leave and I'm perfectly content with my life. I just left Autumn's house and I don't think I've ever felt more relaxed in my life. That's not true, actually. The only time I've been more relaxed than this was when Autumn and I went on a hike about a year ago and we watched the sun set at the top of a hill near my house. Wow, okay. I just realized that my most memorable moments are the ones where I'm with Autumn and it's just the two of us. Nothing has ever really come close to the way I feel about her. I mean, the way I felt about Zoe was nice, but it's not the same as the way I feel about Autumn. 

I'm on my way back home now, and I really don't want to see my dad. I may be in a decent mood, but I wouldn't be able to keep myself together if i saw him. My emotions would go all out and I wouldn't know what to do with myself. I wish that I could just bottle up the way I feel right now and use it later. I don't know how to get this happy and excited on my own. I can't find the same joy alone as I do with Autumn. It's almost annoying, honestly. I just wish that I would be able to spend more time with her and it not be creepy.

I'm finishing the trek up the hill and I begin to see the figure of a person standing at the top. They have a weak stance and have a slim frame. It's my dad. 

"If you're looking to apologize, don't. This will take more than an apology."

"Peter," my dad says, his voice shaking, "I know I can't fix this with an apology, but I just wanted you to know that I had no other choice. I wish tha-"

"You wish you could do what? Go back in time and not screw me over emotionally? Go back to fix your mistake? You're unbelievable."

"Peter-"

"Don't call me that! You know why and yet you continue to do it."

I walk away from the situation before it gets any worse, not that it can. I don't understand why I can't just keep one this in my life?"

-Time Skip-

-Marcus's POV-

Welp, I wish this summer was over. I've embarrassed myself far too many times and it's only been a few weeks.  I can't keep doing this. Mark and Autumn are showing me some new ways to help train Monty for future shows. They say it's more beneficial for both the horse and the rider. What I'm doing with Monty now is great, but it could improved. My riding skills aren't up to their level, but they're also not the worst. 

I'm in my room right now and I have no idea how to entertain the guys that are here. We just don't have anything in common. They can obviously talk about things in France, but I have no idea what to talk about with them other than riding, but we don't need to talk about that all of the time. We need other things to talk about, but the question is what?

I hear a knock at the door, 

"Yeah!"

I look up too see Justin at the door.

"Hey, Justin, what's up?"

"Yeah, hey. Can I talk to you? I feel kind of embarrassed to say it around the guys."

"Uhh, yeah, sure. What's up?"

"Yeah, so there's a girl..."

"Hold up," I interrupt, "is she here or in Annecy?"

Justin looks down, his cheeks flushed pink,

"She's here."

I give a small smirk, "Is she now?"

Justin's cheeks become even more rosey, "Yeah, she is. I just-I don't know how to tel her."

I shake my head, "I'm in the same situation right now, okay? I like her, but I have no idea how to tell her. We'll figure this out together, yeah?"

A small smile arises from Justin's lips, "Yeah, that sounds great."

"We'll get through this summer together, yeah?"

"Yeah. Marcus, you made my summer. Thank you."

"Anytime, man."

And with that, Justin walks out of my room with a smile. If anyone else heard that, they're gonna think that I do pitty-parties, but it's a nice thing and I'm just trying to help a dude out. Maybe he'll be able to help me out with Estelle. If not, I don't know what I'm going to do.

Oh. My. GOSHHHHH!!!!!! I am so sorry you guys! Sorry this chapter is short, but I've been really busy with stuff and, once again, I hit a writers block. Since it's summer now, I'll hopefully be able to update a little bit more. So, thanks for your patience and thanks for continuing to read my crappy writing. Y'all are the best!!!!!
