Bec's POV

When we got to the paddock, everyone gathered at the gates.

"Ok, we are gonna do this one at a time." I said.

"Why" Ryan asked

"So then I can concentrate on you and you only"

"Ok what horse are we riding?" Buffer asked

"I'm gonna go get a horse, we might use different ones so then they all get exercise" I said then walked off.

As I walked into the stables the horses started 'talking' to me. I walked over to Sherbet a 5 year old, lemon coloured horse. He is one of the younger horses. I got him and took him to the ring.

"This is Sherbet everyone. Who's going first" I asked.

"I am" Xo said timidly.

"Great" I exclaim with a broad smile. It must have been infectious because everyone started smiling.

"Now Sherbet is 5. He is one of our younger ones and is tamed. We had him since he was born. He loves attention, and loves new riders. So naturally he is very patient." I explain to the X, when she walked over. Once she heard he was tamed she seemed to relax slightly.

After teaching Xo what I taught Leo, I had Leo take over while I went to get the other horses. First I brought out Romeo and Juliet for Leo, then Starlight, Smokes, Elvia, Jasmine, Snow White, Coop, Cam, Patch and lastly Bush.

Once I had finished I looked out to see Sherbet near the other horses, the X off of him and Leo riding Romeo.

"Ok, was that ok X" I ask. After I got a nod of confirmation from her I moved on.

"So who now." I ask. Eventually we got through everyone. And every horse had a chance to have a run, apart from Juliet.

"Guys I'm gonna go for a ride on Juliet. I will just be making her run, and jump so I shouldn't be long" I say.

"Wait where are you going" Jess asked.

"You guys will be able to see, it will only be on the grass around the house." I answer getting onto Juliet.

"Ok, don't go to crazy" Jess said as I started trotting. After what felt like 5 minutes, we started galloping. With the wind blowing through my hair, I felt free.

Leo's POV

Wow, Bec looks gorgeous. And she is such a good rider.

"She's a natural" Ro exclaimed in awe.

"Ya. She always loved riding. She said it made her feel free. Like she did nothing wrong, and that no matter what there was good in the world. She is hard to get to know, and she does have a temper, but once you break those walls, you really get to know her. She's been hurt so much, so she seems sour at first. It really means a lot to her that you guys put up with her, though she will never say it. She likes to think that everyone is going to hurt her. So she is independent. If she is sick the only way you are getting her to a hospital or doctor is if she is dead. She once had pneumonia and she went to school, eventually she was coughing for 2 weeks, so we got Aaron over to drive her to the hospital. Even though she couldn't breathe properly she put up a fight, with punching and kicking. Eventually she passed out from the fight and we got her there. Apparently we should have taken her sooner. If we had waited 5 more minutes than her breathing would have stopped and she would have died." Jess said looking sad at the thought of her sister dying.

"Okay, that was intense" Spider said trying to lighting the mood. Bird slapped him around the back of the head, and then said.

"Shut up, do you know if that had happened, we never would have met her and Leo wouldn't have a fiancé" Bird snapped.

As soon as she said that Bec came back over.

"Why do you all look so sad" she asked with a cute little pout. She looked so confused, if only she knew how much pain she would cause if she left.

"Oh we just realised that we have to get back to reality after this is all done" Nav said. Surprisingly Bec believed her and the rest of us realised that was true.

"Oh, when do you guys have to be back" Bec asked.

"Not til this is over" Sally replied. After she said that everyone nodded.

"Cool" Bec said.

And with that we walked to the house.

Ok guys, this chapter I didn't really know where I was going with it. So this is chapter 12. I will try to update soon. In the next chapter I will be skipping a few weeks to Aaron's funeral. Its only because I have no idea what to write. If you can give me ideas of what to do before this please tell me.
