I know I said I quit, but I though of this story when I was listening to "Face down" by the red jumpsuit.... forgot their name... sry...
ANYWAYS I don't own the story, song, ect
The dust cloud swirled around the bay colts feet as Jake Ely released the horse's halter and stood, watching the young colt galloped after the other saddle horses. He gave a tiny smile and started to walk towards the gate. As he closed and latched it with a chain rope, and walked towards the house. Out of nowhere, Cody, Sam's half brother who was now a very annoying age of seven came sprinting from behind him.
"Jake!" He yelled, even though he was about ten feet away. "Jake, wait up!"
Jake stopped for the young boy and turned his eyes down, waiting patiently for him to catch up.
"Guess what Jake?" Cody asked excitedly. "Sam is coming home today!" Cody skipped ahead and turned to walk backwards so he could talk to Jake face to face.
"Yep." Jake answered uninterested, but his heart disagreed with a faster beat.
"Can we go pick her up now?" Cody asked. "Please Jake, dad won't mind and you can drive me like you do when we go to the Claire's!"
"Clara's." Jake corrected. "And if you tell you're dad that I did take you there, we won't go anymore."
"Okay-dokay." Cody rolled his eyes and tripped backwards. "Can we go pick up Sam now?"
"Sam is already on the way here." Jake tried to walk faster towards the house to ditched Cody and his questions. "Gotta go. Go wait for Sam."
"Ok!" Cody ran off and Jake quickly slipped into the house before Cody could change his mind.
"Jake?" Wyatt's voice came from the living room.
"Yeah?" Jake answered, walking towards his voice.
"Can you do me a favor and help me with this?" A cluck followed him.
Jake walked in and a chicken scrambled past him, surprising him, but he regained his composer to notice five other chickens in the living room.
"What the…" Jake started as Wyatt dived for one who was trying to climb on the coach.
"Cody brought them in this morning while everyone was outside." Wyatt grunted. "Sam is suppose to be here any minute."
Jake nodded and unfolded a blanket that was on the table. He slowly walked behind the coach and quickly threw it over three of the chickens bundled up. One of them quickly escaped and ran into the coffee table, hitting it hard enough to stun it for a second, but that was all Wyatt need to grab him.
Jake held the corners down and flipped it over, so he held each of the corner and the chickens were unable to escape. He heard a car pull up and Cody scream, "Sam!"
"Perfect timing." Jake said sarcastically. "What should I do with them?" He pointed at the two chickens in the blanket.
"Throw them out the back door." Wyatt hurried towards the door and threw his chicken out and Jake followed with his. They both hurried towards the living room again and both of the remaining chickens hurried out past them towards the door.
A knock came from the front door and Wyatt rushed to get it. A cluck came from the hall way and Jake rushed towards it. The chicken stood at the end of the hall and gave one more cluck. Jake blocked the way towards the living room and slowly walk towards it. It rushed into the bathroom and Jake ran to close to door.
"Sam." Wyatt's voice came from the living room. "Nice to have you back home."
"It's nice to be home." Sam's voice sounded older and more mature, totally opposite from the last time he saw her when she was sixteen. "Dad this is Luke Swift."
"Nice to meet you." A deep voice followed her's.
Jake walked in and interrupted Luke. Sam turned her head, her hair was now blonde, and her eyes suddenly turned warm and a bright smile greeted him. Jake felt his heart give a loud and painful thud.
"Jake?" Sam asked curiously. She turned towards him and Luke quickly wrapped his arm around her waist. She flinched at bit and turned back to Wyatt and folded her arms. She smiled back at Wyatt and they both turned towards the hall way when a faint cluck interrupted them.
Jake gritted his teeth together. Luke turned his head towards Jake and looked him over. Jake catch his eye and Luke gave him a violent glare and tighten his grip on Sam, who flinched again.
"I gotta go." Jake said to Wyatt and gave him a long stare. "Can you help me with one of the colts later?"
Wyatt nodded and Jake exited the house. Cody was sitting on the steps and Jake almost tripped over him.
"Cody!" Jake said angrily as he cautiously stepped down.
"What?" Cody asked blankly.
Jake forgot his anger and stared at the boy curiously. "Why aren't you inside?"
Cody looked at him sheepishly. "The man with Sam scares me." And he put his hands on his chin.
"Me too bud." Jake looked back at the house and saw them though the window. Sam eyes look suddenly tired and tense. "Me too."
