My Crazy Boy (sequel to My Crazy Girl)

Chapter 8 heartbreak

The morning after homecoming I woke up and went and watched the sun come up. Today I was going to tell Hunter how I feel. I hope it's not just me feeling these feelings. I was going to wait till this afternoon to go over there. So I went and got a horse I was working with. I lunged him than put a saddle on him so that he could get used to it. After I worked with him for awhile i turned him into a pasture with the other horses. Than I cleaned the  stalls out.

Around 1 I went and changed into clean clothes. "Bye Mom. Bye dad. I'll be back soon."

"Ok have fun dear." My mom said as I went out the door. I got in my truck and started the drive over.

"Hey Hunter do you like me? Like more than a friend? No it doesn't sound right. Hey bro I like you. No to rapperish. I'm no rapper belive me. Ok fine let's just go with straight forward." I told myself.

I had never done this before. I liked a boy in my old school but I was just that awarded shy horse girl. That no body even wanted to be close to me. But new town new me. I pulled into their driveway.

There was another car there. It wasn't Becky or Mrs. Barnes. I drove up and parked next to it. I suddenly saw a pink purse in the car. June. It was her car. Crap! I started the engine and started to back up but here came Hunter and her. "Holly were are you going?" He yelled. I heard because my window was down. I stopped. Ummm. What do I say. Holly move your mouth. Make something come out of you mouth. Say something please. I begged my brain.

"I um... was wondering if you finished my book?" Your worried about a book right know. I screamed at myself. Well it's better than saying I like you. Or saying nothing at all.

"Yep I'm done I'll go get it. Be right back." He said running into the house. June came strolling up to my open window.

"Why's your book here?"

"Um he saw me reading it and asked to borrow it."

"I didn't know Hunter read." You don't know a lot about him. He came running back.

"Here you go I loved it. If you have any other ones that you like tell me. I would like to read them." I nodded. I felt the tears coming on.

He would never like you Holly. Your just a ugly rodeo girl. The little voice in my head told me. "I got to go." I said peeling put of there. As soon as I got home I went into Saints stall. She always made me feel better. I let her out in the pasture when I heared Hunters voice come from outside.

"Holly are you in here?" Hunters voice came.

"Ya." He came around the corner.

"Holly what's wrong?" I let my self out of her stall.

"Hunter I got to tell you something. I really like you."

"I like you too." He said smiling at me. 

"No not like that. I want to be more than friends." His expression turned from confused to a emotion I couldn't name. It's like a mask came over his face. "I know your taken but I just had to tell you."

"I'm sorry Holly. I can't like you. I'm in love with June."

Hunters prov

When she told me that I was shocked. I was with June. We have been together so long. So many memories. And I just couldn't let her go. It wasn't fair to Holly to led her on. To be friends with her. I needed to let her go so she could move on.

And that meant breaking her heart. A mask came over my face. "I'm sorry Holly. I can't like you. I'm in love with June. Plus who would ever be in love with you." I looked up to see her face. Her eyes were red and puffy. She had red blotches on her face. Tears streamed down her face. "Good bye Holly." I turned got in my truck and left. That hurt me so bad she was my best friend. I loved her but I couldn't get rid of June.

I sat out in the field where all the cows and my two horses were together. Saint came over and rubbed her nose on my face. "What was I thinking girl? I should have just keeped my mouth shut. Why did I have to say anything to him?"
