Chapter 7

It was the begining of the week before winter break. Sam walked to her locker before she went to the bus. She couldn't wait to get home. Jake said that he wanted to talk to her about something. So she was supposed to call him when she got home. She was excited. She hadn't talked to him for a while well if the weekend counted. She ran towards the bus looking for Jen. She spotted her in the third row back. She went over and sat beside her.

"Hey, girl." Jen pushed her glasses so they rested on the perch of her nose. She looked down again and Sam noticed she was reading a book.

"Jen! Are you late on an assignment?" She asked. Jen looked up and shook her head.

"Nope. I was just reading this. Its really interesting. Its a book on different kinds of cancer." Jen smiled at her. Sam froze. She felt dizzy and she was seeing double vision again. Jen looked up and was concerned. "Sam are you alright? You look pale."

Sam tried to concentrate. "Oh, I'm fine. So how was your math quiz?" She tried to change teh subject. Jen looked at her funny but nodded and moved on. Once they got off the bus and went there seprate ways Sam broke down. She felt the tears running down her face. Such little things made her tick. She had no idea what was going on with herself. She felt so scared lately. She kept on getting emails from Scott and Jessica. Her and Jake had been fighting on and off, and her Dad and Bryanna just started to plain ignored her. And Sam had no idea why. She was frusterated with the whole ideal. The only one she could dish everything out was Jake. She couldnt wait to talk to him. She hated what she was feeling. She tried to remember that she wasn't telling anybody because it was just best for everyone. She knew it was a stupid reason and that she just didn't want to know the truth. Which was secretly true.

"Hey Sam!" Pepper called from the riding ring as Sam ran up the driveway.

"Hey!" She called back. "Can't talk! Gotta make some phone calls!" She walked backwards the last few steps to the house calling back. Pepper smiled and nodded tipping his hat the same time. Sam ran up the house shouting hellos to anyone that was in a ten foot permitore. Yelling that she had dibbs on the phone. She picked it up and dialed Jake's number. She laid on her back and cringed. She had a major bruise on since when Ace reared. It hurt when she tried to anything.

"Hello?" Jake spoke softly.

"Hey," Sam said smiling. "How are you?"

"I'm ok. What about you?" He practicly whispered.

"I'm fine, but Jake are you ok?" She asked. "Whats going on?"

Sam heard him sigh and talk a little more louder. "I think that we should talk."

"Um, Jake we are talking. See that thing your holding by your ear? It is called a phone." She said with maybe a hint of sarcastic.

"Heh heh. Halarious. No I meant to talk about us. Our relationship." He corrected. Now sounding sheepish.

Sam didn't like where it was going. "Oh. Ok, whats there to talk about?"

"Excactly! There is nothing to talk about anymore. I think that maybe we should take a little break. Maybe when I get home or something..."

"You want to break up." It wasn't a question. She didn't want to cry. She just wanted to push him off a cliff. But then she would miss him and prolly jump off too. There was just no winning. It was silent for a few minutes.

"Sam, please say something. I'm sorry. I just thought that maybe if we just take a little break. Sam please don't let me lose my oldest friend." Jake said softly.

"Jake. Your first say that you love me. Then all the sudden you break up with me over a phone. Jake I don't understand. I- I thought...Never mind. Look I better go. Bye, Jake" She hung up.

She went outside, putting her coat on as she went, passed Pepper, right to Ace. She climbed up not caring that it was bareback. And kicked him out of the barn. Usually she wouldn't of done that but really she didnt care. At least she put a bridle on him. She let him go wild once they hit the range. She gallopped him to the Phantom's cave. It wasn't to cold out. But it still made you shiver. She pulled up Ace into a swinging lope once she neared the cave. She stopped him for a brief moment to look around making sure she was in the right place. It took her over an hour to get inside. It wasn't directly in the valley it was a ledge rounding it. She peered down and wondered where the Phantom was there. There! He was by a couple of his mares showing off for them. She laid down on her stomach. There wasn't much if any snow inside. She laid there for awhile just staring at the Phantom.

If you could only be a horse. She thought. Wondering what it would be like. Then something just clicked in her mind. And tears rolled down her face. Me and Jake are over. What did she do to make him break up with her? How could she be so stupid? What did she do anyway? Why did she always mess up?
