Chapter XVIII-How Could You Not Tell Me!

Matt and Sabrina were in the barn; kissing. Sabrina was on top of Matt on a pile of hay when she suddenly jumped off at the sound of a car pulling up. Dani had arrived. Matt knew that they had broken up but it was like they were together. Sabrina realized who it was and decided to give Matt a chance to talk to her. Sabrina got up and hid in Wildfire's stall. Wildfire had gotten used to her and he was like a human. Any friend of Kris' was a friend of his. Sabrina motioned for Wildfire to be quiet as she crouched down to listen to the conversation without being seen.

Dani walked in and saw Matt lying in they hay. She had just missed Sabrina and frankly; Dani had no idea who Sabrina was. Dani sat down next to Matt and asked laughingly; "What are you doing on the floor?"

"Just hanging out. My leg got tired and I decided to sit down. What are you doing here?"-Matt

"I just needed to see you. Um; you know o make sure you were alright."-Dani couldn't bring herself to straight out ask Matt if they still had a chance. She was too afraid. Dani. They girl who was always the confidant one had broken down the second her and Matt started dating. When it came to Matt she could only be strong when they were together. Not like friends but more.

"Thanks but I am really fine. You should probably…"-Matt said nervously.

"Matt?" Dani interrupted in an innocent voice; "Do you think we could ever have a chance again. I mean I know a lot has happened with Kris and everything. Are you over her? Are you over me?"-Dani took one look at Matt's sorrowful expression and couldn't bear to make eye contact with him any longer. "Could we forget I ever came here? Let's just stay friends and forget this. Unless you still have feelings for me?"-Dani couldn't hide that she wanted him to hold her in his arms and say 'everything will be alright. I will always love you.'

"Dani," Matt looked guilty. "I did love you; but it's over for me. I am so sorry. I definitely don't want to lose you as a friend but I just want to stay friends. I am kind of with someone right now."-Matt couldn't help but feel sorry for her. Not because she still had feeling for him and he thought she was a loser; no; Matt felt sorry because he didn't see how much she cared for him and how much he hurt her. Meanwhile still in the stall; Sabrina thought about how much she wanted to jump out and law Dani's eyes out for trying to steal Matt back. But for some reason; she didn't. There was something about Dani that made Sabrina want to comfort her instead of, well, hurt her.

Dani began to walk away and was almost in her car. Barney looked at her with a sorrowful yet reassuring face. At the last second Dani turned around to see Sabrina walking toward Matt to comfort him. It was then that Dani let the tears fall. "How could you! How could you not tell me! I will never stop loving you Matt! Never! But if you still want to be friends; next time act like a friend and tell me!" Dani was screaming this in between sobs. She climbed in the car and Barney looked at Matt as a sign of good-day. Only today it seemed a lot colder than normal; Matt couldn't blame him.

Meanwhile back at the trailer:

Kris heard a knock at the door. It was Junior. He was coming over tonight. Kris was so nervous she almost threw up and told him not to come. She got over it and decided she needed to talk to him. Kris ran over to the door. Only when she opened it it wasn't Junior. It was Tim. "What are you doing here?" Kris asked surprised. When he let himself in Kris started thinking about what Junior would say if he walked in with Tim here. Thing weren't so great already. She didn't want to screw things up even more.

"Kris come with me;" Tim told her looking her square in the eye.
