Hello readers! I wanted to thank you guys for reading, and still reading even though my updates are a bit slow. Life's been kinda tough lately, leaving me little time to write, and very uninspired. I apologize for the wait between chapters.
Dear Xanadu,
Excuse me for not writing last night. Things around the ranch have been tough. Jake was supposed to help me with Witch yesterday, but he showed no acknowledgement of me at all. He rode Witch over, let her out in the ten-acre pasture, and worked with Star all day(which, by the way, is going really well. She's truly an amazing horse, and Jake's work is almost done). I get that he's mad that we didn't get to work with Witch yesterday, but the fact is, that he didn't even have Witch yesterday. How can he be so mad at me?
Dinner's almost ready. I'll be back...
Okay! New developement! Jake actually looked at me over dinner! He does know I'm still alive! *insert eye roll* Dad asked us why we didn't work with Witch yesterday and he glanced at me as if to say it was my fault! And in his usual, short sentances, he told Dad, respectfully, that he just wanted to finish up with StarFire. He gave no indication that we would work with her tomorrow...or the next day, for that matter. What I can't figure out, is why when he looked at me, he didn't seem angry.
Today, Jake still ignored me, but every movement he made was rigid and oozed agitation. Dad gave us the chore of cleaning the barn, then gave us the free afternoon to work with Witch. We cleaned in silence, and I passed the time by pondering about his thoughts(and sneaking quick glances at him). He worked furiously, never stopping, and when we finished, he glanced at me, with shame..? Doubt it...And he left without a word.
Xanadu, I just don't know what to do! What if he's really mad, like last year, and what if he leaves for college without us making things right?!
Okay.. I know I'm overreacting, Jake'll get over it(whatever 'It' is) sooner or later...right?
I also got a text a little while ago...Quinn wants to go riding with me(and Jen) tomorrow. It's not like Jake's gonna help me with Witch anyway.
