Hope's P.O.V.
"Ellie! WAKE UP! OR ELSE WE'LL BE LATE FOR OUR SHIFT AT NANDO'S!!" I yell at a sleepy Ellie. She groans, but still gets out of bed.
I get dressed in my uniform for today. I have to wear an ugly apron, but other than that It's not too bad. I straighten my long brown hair and grab the car keys.
"C'mon Ellie, let's go!" I yell into the quiet flat. Ellie comes out of the bathroom looking very tired and we climb into our car.

"Hello! My name is Hope and I will be your server for today!" I say to a group of 5 hooded figures in sunglasses, even though I already knew who they were. "May I take your order?"
"Hope, you know you don't have to say that every time you see us, you know." Said the hooded figure in a jack wills hoodie with a deep voice.
"It's my job, Harry."
"Are you going to take our order or what?" a irritated voice says from the table "I'm hungry!"
"You're always hungry Niall. Anyways, can I start you out with some drinks? Or are you ready to order?"
"I want two orders of the peri peri chicken with a Pepsi and um some bread for the appetizer."
"Do you want to make the restaurant get out of food? Gosh, Niall!" I hear my brother say. I take the rest of their orders and go on to my next customer. When the boys' order is ready I bring it to their table.
"Do any of you want to go horseback riding with Harley and I later today?" I ask my friends. I ride English and my best friend is Harley, we've known each other since middle school.
"Sorry, sis. I'm going out with Hana today." Louis says.
"I've got a date with Perrie. Sorry, love." Zayn replies.
"I'm going to go catch that new movie with Niall." Liam answers for him and Niall, who has his face stuffed with chicken.
"I don't have any plans for today. I'll go with you girls. You can give me some lessons." Harry said with a grin from ear to ear.

I hear the doorbell ring. I straighten my blazer and finish zipping up my half chaps, then I go answer the door.
"Why are you dressed up so much? We're just going to ride for a couple of hours." I hear Harley say as I open the door to let her in.
"Nice to see you too, Harley." I say, my words dripping with sarcasm. "Harry is going riding with us." I hear Harley groan. She doesn't like One Direction very much.
"You should have told me! I would have invited Kevin! And I would haven't dressed like a mess." she remarked, smirking at her last comment. Kevin is her long-term boyfriend. I take in her appearance. She looks stunning, as always, with her ginger hair tied back in a ponytail. Harley always has had a tomboyish style. She's wearing some old Levi's and hiking boots.
The doorbell rings again and I see Harry standing out in the hallway.
"Hey Hazza!" I exclaim as I open the door. Harry grins and takes in my outfit. I'm wearing some riding pants, a blazer that I use for shows, half chaps, and my new paddock boots. I take the chance to see what he'a wearing. He has on a fitted whit t shirt, some jeans, and converse.
"So, are you ready to go?"

We pull up into the barns parking lot. I take in the beautiful pastures and the big red barn. I always am amazed by the beauty of this place.
"I'm going to ride my horse, Dottie, and Harley will ride Mack, while you, Harry will ride Ashe. Got it?" I ask Harley and Harry.
"Got it!" They chorus back.
I walk into the barn. I am welcomed by the familiar scent of the barn. It is a mixture of manure, horses, and hay. I open up the tack room and get Dottie's halter and lead rope.
"Tie up Mack and then help Harry tie up Ashe. I'll help him tack her up once I get Dottie ready." I tell Harley.
I go get Dottie from her pasture, brush her, and put on her saddle. I go over to Harry where he is helplessly braiding Ashe's mane. I grab a curry comb and start brushing her back.
"Oh! Hey! I have no idea what I'm doing."
"Obviously. Grab a comb like the one I'm using and start brushing circles on her back like I'm doing." I say, motioning to the bucket with the brushes in it. He grabs a brush
