After all this time ?

Chapter 12

I went home after visiting Lucas he had to stay overnight

I know he said he would tell me about what happened to him but I can't stand not knowing so I opened up my computer and typed "Lucas Friar accident bull riding" there was a clip on YouTube of him riding

He was doing so well when the bull suddenly flung him over it's head and hit him with it's head it then ran at him twice and hit him again against the side before anyone could get to him,

It was horrible I had to keep looking away there was blood and he was unconscious by the time they got the bull away from him.

- - The next day - -

Lucas was finally let out of the hospital and I was driving him back to his family ranch

"I'm sorry Lucas I know it's hard to know you have to stop competing" I said once we were parked up outside his moms ranch. He didn't answer he just took off the band they gave him in the hospital

"You're stopping aren't you?" He has too, the doctors said he has too.

"I have to do this Maya" He said letting out a breath

"I saw the video Lucas that bull almost killed you and you were in recovery for a year" He didn't say anything he didn't even look at me

"You have to stop you heard the doctor" He grabbed his bag and opened the car door

"Doctors aren't always right" he replied getting out of the car

"You have to stop" I yelled following him out of the car,

Is he stupid! He almost died a year ago. He was in a coma for god sake and now he's got hurt again.

"Every time a rider gets into the shoot there is a chance they will get hurt" Lies! He's already hurt it's worse for him.

"That's bullshit, your condition is different" I yelled hardly keeping calm

"I can't stop Maya" He stopped and turned around to face me

"Well I can't be with somebody if every time they walk out the door I don't know if I'm going to see them again" I yelled at him

Am I really breaking up with him?

No I am.

He can't keep doing this. I can't just sit by and watch him do this

"Well thats your choice" he said just as angry.

My choice? Is he serious!

"Yeah I chose you!" I yelled and scoffed

"I chose you over New York. Over my internship, I chose you over everything" I quietened down almost crying

"I never asked for you to change your life you can't expect me to change mine" he said quieter but with an angry tone

"This is what I do, it's all I know" he spoke quieter and looked away

"This is my life" I was holding back tears I could deal with the thought of Lucas being hurt. I need to end this

"I thought this was our life" I let my tears fall but he didn't say anything else

"I can't stand by and watch you do this to yourself" I stormed off walking back to my car and driving away
