What I live for

"Welcome to Riverbend Ranch," Sam said pointing towards the house as they crossed the bridge.

"You guys get to stay in the bunkhouse while Jamie and lily stay in my room. Is that ok?" Sam asked while helping grab a suitcase.

"Yeah sure," Adam and Mickey said.

They group headed up the house stairs while Sam and Jake opened the front door so that they could get through.

"Gram! Brynna! Dad" Sam called. No one answered.

"Maybe they went to see the horses," Jake suggested.

"Yea maybe," Sam whispered as she went to see if she could find a note.

"Hey brat where do you want the bags put?" Jake called.

"Just put them next to the couch," Sam said coming around the corner a piece of paper in hand.

"Jake can I talk to you for a sec please?" Sam muttered.

"Have a seat you guys we won't be long," Sam said leading Jake to her room, while her friends looked on curiously.

Downstairs with the others

"What do you thinks wrong?" Lily asked

"Dunno we'll see when they come back," Adam said looking at the staircase.

Upstairs with Sam and Jake

"Whatsa matter brat?" Jake said in his cowboy voice.

"Um my dad and Pepper went after a stray calf … and there was an accident and my dads in hospital," Sam muttered tears coming down her face.

"Is it bad?" Jake asked pulling Sam into a hug.

"They didn't say," Sam said hugging Jake as if she'd lose him any second.

"Hey why don't we call my place and see if my parents know anything," Jake whispered smoothing Sam's hair. Sam nodded into his shoulder before allowing Jake to lead her downstairs.

"Is she ok?" Mickey asked. While the others looked on anxiously.

Sam nodded to him and gave him the letter before turning to Jake who was on the phone frowning. Mikey was reading the letter while the others looked on over his shoulder.

Jake hung up and turned to Sam.

"My parents have Liam if you want to go get him and they said your dad looked like he had passed out," Jake said hugging her again.

"Yeah he might want me," Sam whispered.

Three Ponies Ranch

As soon as jakes truck slowed down Sam jumped out and ran to the front door of the Ely's just as Nate opened it. Sam almost bowled Nate over in her rush to find Liam.

"Nate where's Liam, please," Sam said tears running down her face.

"He's with my mum in the kitchen," Nate said quietly.

"Thankyou Nate," Sam said and ran into the kitchen.

"Mrs Ely," Sam said greeting her with a hug. Sam saw Liam and ran to him.

Mikey, Adam, Lily, Jamie, the Ely's watched as Sam cried and hugged Liam.

"Will she be alright?" Jamie asked Mrs Ely sadly.

"She should be fine dear why don't you guys come and eat something. Jake will take care of her," Mrs Ely said and lead everyone to the dining room table.

"Sam come on it'll be alright," Jake said pulling Sam to the couch to sit down on. Jake sat down and Sam sat on his lap still hugging Liam as he played with her hair.

Jake and Sam sat hugging for an hour before they were interrupted as the phone rang.
