EVANESCENCE LYRICS to "My Immortal" are used in this chapter. THANK YOU FOR REVIEWING!!!

Sam got home from school the day Thanksgiving vacation started. She walked gloomily from the bus stop back to River bend. When she got back to the ranch she saw that no one was home. She didn't even pause to stop at the house; she knew just where she was headed. She dropped her backpack on the floor outside Ace's stall. She grabbed his bridle and said a quick hello to Tempest and led ace through the barn and mounted up. Then she was galloping. Galloping away from all the memories of anger and depression, trying to out run them.

I'm so tired of being here

Suppressed by all my childish fears

And if you have to leave

I wish that you would just leave

'Cause your presence still lingers here

And it won't leave me alone

The memories of Jake, Mom, Gram, the accident and Jake again washed away from her.

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

Jake drove his truck along the highway. He had just come back to Three Ponies Ranch for Thanksgiving and was headed to River Bend to see Sam. He expected her to be home, but she wasn't.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

Sam galloped towards the lake that she had been to months ago.

You used to captivate me

By your resonating light

Now I'm bound by the life you left behind

Your face it haunts

My once pleasant dreams

Your voice it chased away

All the sanity in me

These wounds won't seem to heal

This pain is just too real

There's just too much that time cannot erase

Jake saw that Sam was gone and so was Ace. He tacked up Sweetheart and galloped after her, following the hoof prints.

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

Sam reached the cliff that she had once looked at with a jolt in her heart. Nothing bad would happen. She thought, reaching the top and looking into the wavy waters far below. Anger and thrill seemed to catch up with her wild ride.

I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone

But though you're still with me

I've been alone all along

When you cried I'd wipe away all of your tears

When you'd scream I'd fight away all of your fears

And I held your hand through all of these years

But you still have

All of me

And she jumped.

(a.n. he he cliff hanger!)

Jake reached the lake just in time to see a small form leap of the cliff.

"Sam!" He yelled and sent Sweetheart plunging into the ocean.

Moments later Sam woke up to Jake giving her CPR.

She coughed up a load of water and grinned up at him.

"I called for you." She said.

"And I came." He said.
