Amour de rodéo (Rodeo Love)

Chapter 6

*Samantha's POV*

"Hello Jake?"

"Yeah hey Samantha is everything alright with Blake?"

"Yeah he is ok, but I think as his father you need to at least attempt to talk to him."

"He lied to me, I caught with that damn horse."

"Jake he grew up with that horse! That horse used to be who he lived for, he saved Blake I don't know how many times! Yes Blake said we wouldn't see him or rodeo him again. Rodeo is in his blood after all!"

"Damn when did you become so bitchy!"

"Ever since you son got hurt and you didn't have the guts to go see him the hospital! You are his FATHER after all!"

"Alright ill go to Jack and Linda's and talk to him."

"You better and if he tells me that you started something you'll be hearing from me again! Also you'll be hearing from my lawyer, I want custody of my son!"

"Alright, I took him away once you won't get him back!"

"Bye!"

"Bye!"

What does he mean he will take him back, Blake won't go. He is old enough to know better this time. As you can probably tell Blake and his father have a very rocky relationship. They have two totally different personalities that often clash.

*Jake's POV*

For once Samantha might be right. I don't have the relationship I would like with my son. I'm beginning to realize he's seventeen, not that sweet innocent seven year old he once was. He has his own opinions, values. He is his own person. Then me being the strict father I am kicks in. He's not ready to be in the real world. He still has a lot of growing up to do. I decide to go to Jack's and possibly talk things out with him.

I get into my range rover and play my conversation with him in my head

"Blake I realize your seventeen not seven anymore. But you have to realize that you are my only biological child and I want nothing but the best for you. I know you may think otherwise, and you're going to hate me for this but. You're not ready to go into the real world. You still need a lot of growing up to do. Yes I realize that you have been through a lot this last year, but that doesn't make you as tough as you think you are."

I pull into the driveway and head for the barn, I knew he would be with that horse. As you can probably tell I hate horses, this is not what I like. I'm more of the sports kinda guy. As you can tell I grew up on a farm this is my house and my mom and dad my son is living with. Blake took more of a interest to this life style than I ever did. I walked into the barn, enraged at what I saw. Blake kissing Mckala Kevin's daughter!

"BLAKE COLE BROWING, WHAT IN THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"

The conversation I had planned out flew out the door. His head turned, obviously confused about why I was here.

"WHY IN THE HELL ARE YOU HERE? JUST IN CASE YOU CAME TO GET ME, I'M NOT GOING BACK TO THAT PRISON YOU CALL HOME!"

His harsh words hurt, did he really think my house was that bad?

"YOUR ONLY SEVENTEEN YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TELL ME YOUR FATHER WHAT YOU'RE DOING AND WHAT YOU'RE NOT!"

"WELL I AM, I'M NOT GOING BACK WITH YOU! IT'S MY DAMN LIFE I WANT TO LIVE IT MY WAY!"

"IF I LET YOU LIVE IT YOUR WAY YOU'LL END UP IN A HOSPITAL AGAIN OR EVEN DEAD THIS TIME! BLAKE THAT HORSE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED."

"YES HE CAN DAD IT WAS MY FAULT! YOU JUST NEED TO FACE IT I'M NOT YOU! I'M MY OWN PERSON! I CHOOSE THIS, I CAN NOT HELP IT YOU DON'T"

I see Mckala run in the house, in my mind she couldn't see her "boyfriend" or whatever Blake was fighting with his dad.

*Mckala's POV*

One minute Blake and I were kissing in the barn, and the next he's fighting with his dad. I run inside I can't take it anymore, it reminds me to much of what it was like at home. I get inside of the house and loose it the tears just flow. I was unable to stop them. Jack walked up to me,

"Mckala what's wrong?"

"B-Blake and his dad are f-f-fighting."

"Where at?"

"The barn."

"Alright."

He ran out into the barn.

*Jake's POV*

The fight still raging on with my son.

"YOU DO NOT NEED TO TELL ME THAT YOUNG MAN! YOU WILL LIVE YOUR LIFE I WAY I TELL YOU TO!"

I hear my father yell

"NO HE WILL NOT. BLAKE GO INSIDE!"

Blake walked out giving me his famous
"I hate you" look while leaving. I heard the storm door slam and my mom try to calm him down.

"JAKE WHAT BROUGHT THIS ON?"

"UHH I DON'T KNOW THE FACT THAT THAT THIS HORSE IS GOING TO KILL MY SON SOONER OR LATER."

"DAMN IT JAKE! HE WAS DOING SO GOOD, THEN YOU HAVE TO GO AND RUIN IT ALL."

"WHAT?"

"LOOK BEHIND YOU!"

I turn around to see my son, standing behind me, tears streaming down his face. In all his seventeen years I have never seen Blake cry.He turns around and walks away. Mckala running out of the house after him. What were they?

"WHATEVER DAD I'M LEAVING! YOU CAN HAVE HIM FOR ALL I CARE I AM DONE BEING HIS FATHER."

I get into the car and speed out of the driveway! I call Samantha.

"You can fucking have him, I'm done."

I hang up and continue driving.

*Mckala's POV*

Hearing everything that his dad said about him I know it hurt Blake. It had to, I run over to the side of the barn. I find him with his head on his lap. I sit down beside him. He looks up at me with those beautiful blue eyes.

"Why does he hate me?"

"He doesn't hate you Blake."

"So everything you just heard wasn't hate. He said that he was done being my father."

"Baby, I sure he didn't mean it."

"Face it Mckala we are just to different me and my dad. He grew up here and hated it. I have spent almost all my life here and love it. He hates me because I'm not his clone like he thought I would be."

I was speechless but I managed to find something to say

"This place has a totally different effects on many people. Maybe yours is the positive one, the one you needed to turn your life back around."

"Babe my life has been a roller coaster and I don't like the ride."

"That ride will get better eventually."

He nods his head, and by now the tears that were flowing stopped. He got up.

"So what do you wanna do?"

"I don't know it's gonna rain so something inside maybe."

"Alright."

We walk in the house, and decide to watch movies all day. All his grandparents know is that we are friends and surprisingly there're ok with it.

(Sorry it's so short, I couldn't think of anything else to write on this chapter)
