Chapter 11
Sam ran for Ace. She was sobbing now, and didn't even care that she didn't even have a lead rope to act as her reins. She unlocked the latch that held the horses inside the fence, led him out by his halter and locked it again.
Sam swiftly jumped onto his back, and gently kicked his sides.
Sam didn't even care where she was going, as long as she was away from everybody. She wouldn't be able to stand everyone asking 'Are you alright, Sam?' or 'Sam, what's wrong?'
Because she wasn't alright, and everything was wrong.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Jake stood in the exact same spot, soaking in Sam's words. He brought himself back out of his thoughts, and looked over just in time to see Sam galloping off on Ace.
Jak shook his head, how could he cause the girl he once loved so much pain?
But then, Sarah ran up to him.
"Babe, do you-" She began, then looked at him staring off at a rider galloping to nowhere.
"Who's that,?" Sarah asked nervously. She hadn't liked that Jake lied to her about Sam, and she wasn't about to loose her fiancee over some little girl.
Jake looked at her, then answered sadly, "Sam."
"What, were you doing with her Jake? Aren't we getting married?" Sarah eyed him closely.
Jake stared at her, she was super-model gorgeous. She had honey colored blonde hair, a large bust, and a thin body.
Jake then put his arms around her waist.
"Hun', I wouldn't have been getting married if I didn't love you." Jake said half-heartedly. He brought his lips down on hers, but the girl he was thinking about was Sam.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Sam finally slowed Ace, thet were by the La Charla, by Lost Canyon.
Sam hopped off his back, and brought him into the cool water. Even though it was night, the nice after their ride.
Sam let Ace wander around either inside the river or let him look for some grass by the shore.
She sat down my a large tree and leaned back against it. She thought about all that had happened today.
Even if she was mad at Jake, she knew she would always, deep down, love him.
After all of their long rides together, doing chores together, or simply teasing eachother when they were younger left a mark on her heart that she knew nobody else, maybe not even Ben, could make.
Sam began to sing, something she did when she was stressed out.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Once Sarah had told him she was going to go sleep, Jake quickly glanced at his watch. 8:38.
He'd still be able to go find Sam, then come back for the nightwatch.
Jake quickly tacked up Witch, making sure he had atleast a blanket or two in his emergency saddle bags. Sam hads been gone for an hour, and he wanted to make sure she was alright.
He jumped onto Witch, and directed her the way Sam had gone, going fast enough that he could see Ace's hoofprints by flashlight.

"I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house, that don't bother me
I can take a few tears, now an' then, and just let 'em out,
'cause Im not afraid to cry
Everyone once, in a while, though going on with you gone stil upsets me
There are days
Every now, and again, I pretend im okay,
But that's not whaty gets me.
"What hurts the most
Was being so close
And havin' so much to say
And watchin you walk away
Never knowin'
What could've been
'And not seein' that in loving you..
Yeah that's what I was trying to do...
Sam finished with tears streaming down her face. Totally oblivious to Jake standing next to the tree behind her, already having hopped off Witch.
Jake never knew Sam could sing like that, it was really beautiful. He'd known that she could sing, from all the times he'd come up to her in the barn to find her singing songs while mucking out the stalls. He chuckled remembering her singing 'This is why I'm hot'
Sam heard someone chuckling behind her, she turned around, and saw Jake laughing.
"Jake," Sam began.
Jake suddenly remembered where he was, and looked at Sam.
"I wasn't laughing at your singing Br-" Jake caught himself. He rubbed the back of his neck. "Sam."
"Actually, it's pretty good." Jake said, Sam thought she saw him color in the moonlight.
Sam nodded, and mumbled out "Thanks."
"Can I sit?" Jake asked unsurely.
She just shrugged, and nodded.
He sat down on the ground beside her. And looked at her face in the moonlight. It was puffy and her eyes were sparkling with tears, and either way, Jake felt all the love and memories come back to him, the ones he'd tryed to keep hidden in the back of his mind.
Suddenly, He felt the need to comfort her. To wrap his arms around her and tell her everything would be alright, like he used to.
"I'm sorry," Sam blurted out.
"What?"
"Jake, I'm sorry.. that I yelled earlier. I knew, I really did, I knew I would have to accept the fact that Sarah is your girlfriend." Sam sighed, and layed her head on her knees.
Jake was taken aback. Why on earth was she apologizing to him? She had every right to say what she did.
"Sam, you were right, you don't need to apologize. I acted.. mean. It's just.." Jake sighed, and rubbed the back of his head.
Sam was curious to what he was going to say. "What?"
Jake sighed again, and looked away from her.
"It's just that I had a harder time getting over you being with him, than you did with me and Sarah.."
Now, It was Sam's turn to be surprised.
