Well here's the next chapter. Finally.
"I should be going," said Miss. Marshal standing and shaking Lou and Scott's hands briskly. "I'll be calling every month, and if there's any problems call me," she added and handed Lou her number.
"We will," said Lou as she guided Miss. Marshal to the door.
After Miss. Marshal left Lou said to Mallory, "Come with me and Amy we'll show you your room."
Mallory just nodded.
"We'll let you get settled in, feel free to decorate your walls with any thing you like. We'll be downstairs or outside if you need anything," said Lou trying to make Mallory feel welcome in her new home.
After both Amy and Lou left Mallory sat down on her new bed and look around her new room wondering weather she would decorate the walls just like she always did at home. After a few minuets of thought she decided she would because Lou had seemed sincere about making the room her own. Mallory decided to designate one wall to be the one she decorated because she didn't want to be to elaborate like she used because she wasn't comfortable enough to express herself yet even though every one did seem nice. Plus she had very little of her own things just some clothes, CD's, an iPod, posters, pictures, a blanket from home, and a few stuffed animals. She also noticed a stereo of to one side by and dresser with a mirror. Then Mallory looked at the bed spread it was purple like her old one had been, bring tears to her eyes but she blinked them back, and as she did she saw a stuffed horse and card at the head of her bed. The horse looked like the horse in the barn Amy had called Savanna. The card read:
Dear Mallory,
Welcome to Heartland I look forward to getting to know you. If you need to talk I'm here I lost my mom too.
Amy
Mallory looked at the horse, maybe there was someone who could understand what she was going through, but she didn't want to think about that right now. Right now she wanted to find a phone she promised one of her friends that she would call them. She looked around her room and found it had a phone on the bed side table
"Mallory, Oh My God, how are you is it horrible there? How are they treating you?" asked the frantic voice of Mallory's best friend Cassy Hung, who also skated.
"Three C's Cass, first of all it's not bad here they have horses, the place is called Heartland apparently they heal sick horses or something like that. Second of all everyone seems nice but you know me."
"Shy," said Cassy knowingly.
"Yeh" replied Mallory quietly. There were a few moments of silence then Mallory said, "I should go I don't want rack up the phone bill."
"Ok," replied Cassy "Promise you'll call? Robin and Brianna have been really worried."
"I promise."
When Mallory hung up the phone and decided to unpack and put some music on. She settled on "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter.
Where is the moment when you need it the most,
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost,
They tell me your blue sky fad to grey,
They tell me your passions gone away,
And I don't need no car 'in on,
Your standing line just to hit a new low,
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go,
They tell me your life's been way off line,
You're falling to pieces every time,
And I don't need no car 'in on,
Cause you had a bad day,
You take it one down,
You sing a sad song just to turn it around,
You say you don't know,
You tell me don't lie,
You work up a smile and you go for a ride,
You had a bad day the camera don't lie,
Your come 'in back down and you really don't mind it,
You had a bad day, you had a bad day,
Well you need a blue sky holiday,
The party they laugh at what you say,
And I don't need no car 'in all,
You had a bad day you take it one down,
You sing a sad song just to turn it around,
You say you don't know,
You tell me don't lie,
You work up a smile and you go for a ride,
You had a bad day the camera don't lie,
Your come 'in back down and you really don't mind it,
You had a bad day,
Some time a system goes on the blink,
And their hoping that it turns out wrong,
You might not make it back,
And you know you can be well on that strong,
And I'm not wrong, yeh yeyeyeh
So were is the passion when you need it the most,
Oh you and I,
You kick up the leaves and the magic it lost,
'Cause you had a bad day you take it one down,
And you sing a sad song just to turn it around,
You say you don't know you tell me don't lie,
You work up a smile and you go for a ride,
You had a bad day,
You see what you like,
And how dose it feel, just one more time
You had a bad day, you had a bad day.
Outside:
"How do you think Mallory will fit in here, Ty?" asked Amy
"I'm not sure. But from what you've told me about when you were trying to talk to her, I think that she'll come around but it might take some time. We just have to be patient with her." He paused, "We could ask her to help out in the yard."
Ty watched Amy's face light up, "Ty that's it! You're geniuses."
"I am?" asked Ty looking utterly confused because Mallory helping out in the yard was just a way to include her.
"Yes, you are. We can have Mallory, if she wants to, groom and take Savanna for walks and maybe if Savanna gets used to her we can have them join-up, and if Savanna starts to take an interest is life, Mallory can have her for her own."
Ty nodded and said "But let's not get to a head of ourselves. Let Mallory get used to being here first ok, Amy?"
"Ok"
"Maybe she would want to help you, Lou, and Nancy plan the wedding?"
Amy nodded, "Speaking of which I have an appointment with the florist tomorrow at two."
Ty leaned down and kissed Amy then said, "I should go I have to go to the store for mom, dads coming back from his business trip."
"Ok, and don't forget to remind him about that wedding date so he's not away." Called Amy as Ty left.
"I won't." Ty replied.
Ok well that's the bats I could do its late and my math tutor just left. About the song it doesn't fit perfectly but it's the best I could find.
