Bec's POV
When Tom asked to talk to Leo I took the opportunity to go down to the horses. As it was still raining but not as heavy I ran down to the stable.
"Hey gorgeous boy" I whispered to Romeo while stroking his nose. As I moved down the row I stopped at Patch. Now Patch is 7 so he is an old man.
"Hey baby" I said quietly while hoping into the pen with him. When I got in I jumped onto the gate to sit where Patch came up and I started to pat him.
"Bec" I heard Bird say. As I turned around I saw all of Hammersley apart from Leo dripping from the rain.
"Oh hey guys, what's up" I asked
"Nothing we saw you running down here so we came to see if you were ok" Nav said
"Oh yeah I just wanted to see the horses" I responded as I turned back to Patch.
"Oh then why aren't you with Romeo or Juliet" Dutchy asked.
"We do have more than two horses you know" I said quietly
"Ya and who is this handsome horse" Xo asked
"This is Patch. He was.. no is my horse" I said while getting Patch set up.
"Put the reins back now Bec" I heard Jess say as she, Tom and Leo came in.
"No I want no need to ride Patch again. I need a little bit of normality in my life" I said as I continued to put them on.
"Bec you're not riding in this weather and that is that" Tom said sharply. By this time I had patch up near the door and was about to open it when Leo stepped in front.
"Bec please whats wrong" he asked
"It's nothing I just need my best friend right now" I said but when I saw the hurt look on Leo's face I continued "My animal best friend" I finished softly.
"Bec please" but he didn't get to continue as I walked Patch out into the rain and easily slid on and made my way for the woods.
"Bec" I heard my name being screamed as I continued.
Leo's POV
As she came up to the door I stepped in front of her.
"Bec what's wrong" I asked
"It's nothing I just need my best friend right now" she said
"My animal best friend" she finished softly.
"Bec please" I begged but didn't get to continue as she walked Patch out into the rain and easily slid on and made her way for the woods.
"Bec" everyone was screaming as I set Romeo up.
"Um Leo what are you doing" Tom asked
"I'm going after her. I know I can't ride very well but if there's a chance she is going to get hurt then I don't care" I responded heading for the door.
"Fine but imp coming as well" Tom said as he got another horse ready.
As we made our way closer to the woods we turned to each other and nodded and started to gallop. When we reached the woods I slowed down as I didn't know the woods that well yet alone how to ride.
"Ok I'm going to go faster you can stay at a trot that way you can see her if you're slower." Tom said.
"Ok" I responded while nodding my head.
20 minutes later
I had caught up to Tom as he stopped.
"We need to head back its getting dark" Tom said.
"What no we haven't found her, look you can go but I'm staying out" I responded while going further.
"Leo, please listen to me, we don't have torches or anything so it would be useless"
"Ok but first thing tomorrow I'm coming back out if she's not there" I responded reluctantly.
"Thank you"
When we got back we took the horses into the stable where everyone was still waiting.
"What are you guys doing in here" I asked
"Well we didn't want to get wet so we stayed in here, did you have any luck" Swain asked while looking worried.
"Nope but come on we can wait at the house" Tom said while covering Jess in his jacket and running. The rest all followed.
