A Nice easy and relaxing day

[Nevvy]

I nodded as she rode away and I quickly went over to Fuego. I owe you tons boy. I muttered as I hummed a silly little tune to myself. I quickly grabbed his saddle and threw it on his back, cinching it up. Fuego seemed to know something was going on between her and myself and he was being more a gentleman. I sighed as I remembered the day we had. First, her horse freaking out. Such a nice little thing to happen, I must thank Spirit for that someday. Then Spirit freaking out and running into the lake. Definitely have to thank him for that. And then the rest is history. I remember having her next to me, her head on my chest. It was amazing. I mounted up and, as if to get my head out of the clouds, Fuego raced off, and it brought me quickly to attention. I pulled him up and then we went off on a jog before deciding to race off anyway. Fuego didn't like the dark and I might as well get him there. Just then I heard voices, and I pulled him up before dismounting, listening to them. ...If I can't have you... How did he find out? That must be the ex. I grabbed my cell phone and quickly dialed 911. But they weren't being fast enough. I hooked Fuego's reins on a branch and then ran to the barn before going against the barn as I heard the sirens and someone ran from the barn. I didn't want to try catching him, I was more worried about Sammie. I quickly strode in before seeing Sammie. I didn't even notice Spirit as I quickly ran over, kneeling next to her. I needed something to put pressure on the wound to stop it from bleeding. There was blood everywhere. Why wasn't I here, why wasn't I fast enough? If I had been I could have prevented this. I grabbed her hair quickly, knowing that if she was going to get sick she probably didn't want it in her hair. The sirens were getting nearer but I wanted to do something to help her but I didn't know what. I rubbed her back with my other hand, looking around for whatever. It's alright, it's gonna be alright... I kept murmuring to her.

There was blood everywhere and then some one pulling my hair back and rubbing my back, I lost it and then I felt like I had to do it all over again because I was still looking at it. Spirit was standing near us but something did not seem right, I could see his legs and I counted three and one was being held up, I was doing a good job at holding back from being sick, take me out of the barn or away from here or I am going to get sick again, there’s wrap in the tack room use that to apply pressure to my hand then I need you to do the same for Spirit I coughed and then got sick again, all right so I did not think I could get sick anymore cause I had nothing to give, I focused on my breathing as my horse lowered his head to make sure I was ok, Stall Spirit. He was in a lot of pain but he got to his stall, closing my eyes I gulped, he was right there he tried to kill me, I feel like im going to pass out, that’s all the further I got before everything went black.

[Nevvy]

I nodded and got up, grabbing the wrap quickly and bringing it back. I quickly wrapped her hand in it before looking over at Spirit. I needed to get her out, I needed to take care of him. I didn't know what to do. I listened to her and nodded. The bastard had tried to kill her. Why wasn't I here? I slowly tried bringing her up to see if she could walk before I felt her go limp. I set her back down, looking from the stall then to her. I'm sorry Spirit, I'll be right back. I said, truly apologetic. I picked her up gently, cradling her in my arms and making sure to not injure her hand anymore. I placed her down on the cool ground, making sure her hand hadn't come unraveled before clearing the hair from her face. I left my hand on her cheek for a few seconds. She would make it, it was only a hand injury. She didn't lose enough blood. Yet. I kept thinking that as the sirens drew closer before stopping and a bunch of people were everywhere, unknown and blank to me as I didn't want to leave her side, but the paramedics pushed me aside and I remembered the other thing that she asked. I ran back inside, grabbing the wrap again. I'd have to call the vet to get it checked at, but first to get it wrapped up. I walked toward his stall before walking in slowly. Hey Spirit, it's gonna be alright, lemme just wrap it up and then I'll be out of your way, okay? I didn't know this horse's position around others, so I didn't want to just barge in. I kept trying to keep my mind on the situation at hand, but it kept roaming back to Sammie and how she was doing. I was worried sick about her. But before I could do anything I was going to clean up the mess in here and try to get all the blood out before Sammie came back in here.

[arzu]

I woke up laying in the back of an ambulance, some paramedic checking my vitals, everything looks good just take it easy with that hand, we had to put a couple stitches in it, also change your wrap and clean the wound once in the morning and then before you go to bed. He helped me easy off the bed and all I wanted to do was lie down but there was a cop there to talk to me, Miss. Moore? I nodded and sat down, I just wanted to know we caught him down by the river washing the knife, he will most like go to jail for life or they might not forgive him this time and send im to death row we don’t really know, are feeling alright? better but still weak and nauseated. He smiled and nodded all I wanted to do was go lay down in bed and sleep it off. I stood and walked a few steps before having to stop and breath deeply before continuing, I entered the barn noting that it was now clean, I sat down on my tack box, looking up still feeling weak and waiting for Pablo.

[Nevvy]

I had scrubbed as fast as I could and cleaned and got rid of everything that was blood and vomit from the stable. I had already called the vet, waiting for him to come to check on Spirit. Next would be Fuego, he needed to be put away and then I gotta get back to the trailer and grab Sweets and bring her here. But first and foremost: Sammie. My heart was going so fast it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I needed to see her but I was letting the cops and paramedics do what they needed to do. When I walked out of the tack room from putting stuff away I saw Sammie sitting there and I rushed to her. I knelt next to her, my hand pushing some hair out of her face. I loved see her face. I loved seeing her alive. I looked down at her hand, noting how it was wrapped up. How are you feeling? Is there anything I can do? I asked softly, rubbing my hand up and down her arm, just wanting to feel her and know that she was actually here.

[arzu]

I smiled when I saw him, im just tired, weak and feeling nauseated, actually there is I need you to take care of Spirit for me at least till my hand heals im suppose to take it easy with it. Us it just felt so natural, I wanted to thank you for everything you did, his hand was rubbing my arm and I sighed and closed my eyes for a second, this night feels so un real, I cant believe he was here a shutter moved through my body. I shook my head in disbelief I turned so I was facing him and I wrapped my arms around his neck being careful not to hit my hand, I put my head on his shoulder, I pulled away and looked at him, you can finished getting settled in and then we can go to the house, you don’t know how happy I am to see you. I smiled and put my head against the stall behind me waiting, all I knew was tonight I did not want to be alone.

[Nevvy]

I smiled back at her. I held her in my arms as she hugged me. I ran my hand over her hair, glad to feel that she was real. She wasn't a mirage. I knew it was an overreaction but I didn't like seeing all the blood and I also didn't like cleaning it all up. I let her pull away. He nodded. I wouldn't leave. I said, finally getting up. My ankles weren't used to kneeling for so long, but they would get used to it. I'll be back quickly. I have to grab Sweets but I promise to be back here as soon as possible. I didn't want to leave her, but I had to. I strode quickly out and jogged to where Fuego stood, frantic. The lights and sirens had discombobulated him and he had no clue what was going on. I tried soothing him before jumping on him, kicking him into high gear back toward where the horses were being kept temporarily. Birds and such scared Fuego, but he kept going, feeling the urgency that was penetrating through me. I had to get back as soon as possible. We finally made it in what felt like hours but was really minutes. I took off the saddle and the bit and threw them in the tack room on the trailer before throwing a cooling blanket on him and into the trailer. I apologized profusely to him for this and even gave him a couple sugar cubes for it. I ran into the small stable, grabbed Sweets and wrote out a note with a check for keeping them and then loaded her in. Finally, I was in the truck and we were speeding off back toward the ranch and Sammie. I made sure not to jostle them and then pulled up and quickly drove toward the barn. I shoved the truck to park before jumping out. I grabbed both horses and took them into the barn. I made sure to put them both as far away as possible from Spirit. I checked to make sure they both had water before going back over to Sammie. I hope you don't mind. Tomorrow we can move them around wherever. Is there anything you want me to do before we go up to the house? I asked, wanting to get everything done correctly for her.

[arzu]

I nodded and watched him leave at the same moment the vet came and I pointed to the stall across, he’s in there I would love to help you but im a tad out of it. I smiled and she walked into the stall knowing exactly how to handle Spirit because this was not her first time seeing him. She led him out and he seemed spooked and scared, I felt bad for him and I would have to remember to give him a treat or two. Hmm it does look pretty serious through the skin and the tendon, I will stitch it up and then put in a bucket of ice to take a bit of the swelling off before I wrap it. I once again nodded as she set to work making sure to stitch everything and a good icing for a few moments he was starting to look better and that navy blue wrap added even more, so I just need you to clean it three times a day and wrap it again, if the swelling gets worse again call me and I will x ray it. She patted his neck and led him into the stall shutting it behind her and passing the bill along before she left. As she was pulling out he returned and put the horses in stalls, no nothing else needs to be done tonight, besides to make it to the house and sleep. I waited for his answer.

[Nevvy]

I nodded, making sure that Sweets and Fuego were all set before I knelt down. Make sure to hold onto my neck. Hope you don't mind... I said before sliding one arm beneath her legs and behind her back and hoisting her up. Oh jeez you need to lose a few pounds. Just kidding. I said, smiling at her. I was trying to break up what had happened tonight. I still felt so bad, but I wasn't going to show her that. She had enough going on in her life and she didn't need anything else. Getting serious, I started walking, wanting to get her to the house and get her comfortable. I stayed silent, just focusing on getting her to the house. Is the house unlocked? I asked as I walked up the steps. I finally had to set her down, although I liked holding her near. I had no clue where I was going in the house.

[arzu]

I did not mind, I held onto his neck and rested my head on his shoulder, I playfully hit him on the shoulder with my good hand as he began to walk, I rested my head on his shoulder again, no its not unlocked. He set me down and I took the key out from a fake rock and unlocked the house, I set the key back into the compartment and put it in the landscape again. opening the door I stepped in, I figured he would close it behind him, I flipped a light on and walked up the stairs and to the right were my master bedroom was, I was hoping he would join me, I flipped the light on and walked into the bathroom, taking my meds and changing into my pjs, I walked out and put the decorative pillows on the ground and crawled into bed, I sighed but I was un able to fall asleep it was just too hard so I propped my pillow and waited for him.

[Nevvy]

I followed her in, looking around. I closed the door and locked, checking it a few times to make sure that it was completely locked just in case a bozo decided to walk into the door and that would not be fun, especially with the day she'd been having. I just glanced around but I didn't want to get lost. I kicked my shoes off but placed them neatly by the door before hurrying to follow her. I sighed as I entered her bedroom, looking around and seeing her there on her bed. Do you want me to stay in here tonight with you or somewhere else? I asked her, remembering how I said not moving fast but I didn't want to leave her here. I sat down beside her, not wanting to leave just yet. I was at least going to wait until she was sleeping. I put my arm around her, bringing her closer but letting her pull away if she wanted. I sighed. This had been quite a day.

[arzu]

A smile came to my face as he came into the room, it had taken him awhile but I only assumed he had a reason. You can sleep in here with me, I don’t think I would get much sleep, I sighed as he put his arm around me and pulled me close, I did not want to move so I moved closer to him and rested my head on his chest, Pablo will you stay with me? I was nervous to live alone now how would I ever feel safe, he could escape and try to come after me, a shutter ran through my body and then I began to cry, everything that happened tonight came together and my emotions got the best of me. I was feeling a little better after that and I dried my tears and looked up at him, I was thinking that crying was bound to happen and it did I shifted so I was more comfortable, I sighed I really had no words just as long as he was here with me.

[Nevvy]

Good because you weren't getting rid of me. I said, kissing the top of her head. I had just met this girl, this wonderful girl who had to be a dream, and then she could have been taken away from me in just one fell swoop. I must thank God for keeping her here. What would have happened if I didn't make it in time, if I didn't call the cops? I didn't even want to think about it. I pushed it away from me. I let us stay in there in silence, just listening. I sat there for a few moments, contemplating my answer. But before I could answer Sammie started crying, and I held her close, keeping both arms around her. Of course I'll stay with you. I whispered to her. The crying subsided and I let her go as she shifted. I moved too and laid down, resting my head on the pillow. Of course, I forgot all my clothes and such in the truck, not really thinking about what I had to grab. I wasn't going to go after it now, there was no way I was leaving her alone tonight.

[arzu]

Those words made everything better, he held me close and then let me go, I lowered my pillow and wiggled down into the blankets, wincing as my knee went the wrong way and at the same time I hit my bad hand, then I remembered I had forgot to put my brace on, my doctor would shoot me if I did not wear it, Pablo do you mind going and grabbing my brace off the counter in the bathroom? I did not think he would but then again he might, you could feel the puffiness of it due to the swelling still existing and on the account I did some hard riding today, I turned over so I was facing him I yawned, thank you for everything, I smiled and thank you for saying you will stay, I sat up, I changed my mind I smiled and swung my legs off I walked to the bathroom and grabbed it myself not wanting him to do everything. Laying back down, I rested my head on his chest and fell asleep.
