chapters 13-17

Chapter 13 – they say it´s bad luck

The following day, Tim was driving on the Highway on his way to Heartland. He was with Janice, her girlfriend who had just returned from California. Janice was talking to him about the course of one of the races in which she competed. Janice in her brown hair and light eyes was explaining every single detail about her trip to California, and when she had nothing else to say she looked at Tim and asked him “ What about you?”

“Well, I had been helping Jack with the burned parts of the ranch, it´s not much work but we have to take out the ashes from the fields, it would be a disaster if the horses eat it.”

She smiled and asked again “What about Amy, how did she handle all this?

“In fact  was her dumb boyfriend who burned everything up, they were in a date”

“Ty?” “Really ? ’’

“Well, that´s just the beigining…” said Tim. He told Janice all the story of the ring and how he felt about it. Janice took a minute to think and then smiled to him. “I understand” she said.

“When it happened with Lou was different because she was twenty something when she married Peter, but with Amy is different” He added.

“She is your little girl, but even if she married Ty - something that it´s not certain now – you are not gonna lose her, things will stay the same.” “You need to let her grow Tim”

Janice didn´t expect an answer, shut up and left the conversation in a long silence.

Tim heard every single word but didn´t say a word until they got off the car to walk into the house where Lou was preparing pasta for lunch. Ty and Tim crossed looks when they sat on the dining room.

“That looks good” Said Jack when he saw the large plate with  spaghetti in the middle of the table. He took a portion and so did the rest.

“So Amy how have you been doing with Wonder?” Jack said starting the conversation.

“I think I´m making process, I decided to start slow not to make him run for now. Maybe tomorrow we´ll take him for a ride so he can get used at least to gallop. He´s kind of scared of speed”

“But you´re gonna fix him, you always do ” Lou smiled.

Mallory entered to the kitchen and said “Sorry, I´m late…”

“You are in time we have just started” Jack answered trying to calm down Mallory who´s words scaped from their mouth as she explained every single thing about Maggie´s and all the meals she had to serve.

Mallory is a fifteen year old girl who had grown up in Heartland since she was twelve, she used to work in the ranch with the horses just as a part of her deal with Jack to stay and go to school there. They are part of her family too, and she is part of their family.
