Hey Everyone, I wanted to thank all of you who reviewed, it made me smile at all the nice things that you guys have said. I am so sorry for the wait on this chapter. I have been super busy with Driver's Ed, but it's ending soon and I have this whole next week off for school break, so hopefully I will be able to get out the last couple of chapters. Lucky for you guys I'm sick today so I'm home alone and bored. So here is the next chapter.

Disclaimer: I own wildfire, an amazing mansion and a 2008 Ford Mustang…oh sorry guys I fell asleep and was dreaming…anyway, I don't own wildfire (insert sigh here).

Kris stared blankly at the letter. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She quickly reread the letter a couple times more. How can this be happening to me?

The letter said:

Kris,

I know that I am probably the last person that you want to hear from right now, but I have something important that I wanted to tell you. I have changed for the better; I am not the same guy that you let walk out that door that day. I have come to realize that you were the only good thing that I had in my life and I let you slip away. I am madly in love with you. I know that deep down in your heart that you feel the same way. You shouldn't have to hide your feelings from me anymore. If you do want to see me again, and I do believe that it would be worth your while, call me at my new number.

555-4653 ♥

All my love,

Alex

She could not believe it, he had enough guts to actually send this, how could he. After everything that he has done to her he expected her to forgive him. Alex and Kris had dated during her freshman year of high school; he was the one that got Kris started down the long bumpy road that lead her to where she was today. But if it wasn't for him she would probably be working as some supermarket, trying to make ends meet. She sat there in silence for what seemed like an eternity. The silence was broken by the sound of the ringing cell phone. She answered the phone quickly in hopes of junior being on the other line.

"Hello"

"Hi, Kris its Dani"

"Um, hi"

"I know that you probably weren't expecting a call from me but I have a good reason for calling."

"Your right, so what can I help you with"

"Junior never came home last night, and I know that that's not really unusual, but I'm starting to get worried, and I was wondering if he was with you."

"No he's not, I have been trying to call him for awhile now"

"Ok, well I'm sure that he will be coming around soon, can you call me if you hear anything from him"

"Sure, and please call me if you hear from him also"

"I will bye Kris"

"Bye Dani, thanks"

Kris shut her cell phone and let out a sigh.

Where can he be?

Her thoughts were interrupted by a loud knock on the door, Kris got up and ran to the door and opened it reveling Matt

"You ready for the afternoon workout?" Matt asked

"Um yeah, I'll be out on the track in a minute."

Kris had forgotten that she agreed to help matt train one of the new horses. Walking out to the track she couldn't shake the thought that something was wrong with Junior.

Once Kris got to the track, matt was standing there next to the newest addition to reintree, Shadow.

Shadow was a beautiful black thoroughbred mare. She looked to be about 15 hands two white socks on her back legs and a small white star down her face. She was beautiful. But as soon as Kris got on her she started bucking, and rearing. Kris tried to get her under control but when Kris tried to nudge her to stop, she took it as a signal to go and that she did. Before Kris knew it she was flying, literally. Shadow went one way and Kris went the other. Kris hit the ground and Matt ran over to see if she was ok, while one of the barn hands went to catch shadow.

"Kris, are you ok?" Matt asked

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine" With that Kris stood up.

"Do you want to call it a day?" Matt asked

"No, I'll try her again, if I don't she is going to think that she won and it will be even harder next time"

For the next hour Kris and Matt managed to get Shadow to let Kris ride her. It wasn't very easy. She bucked like crazy and every time Kris fell, she would whinny as if she was laughing at her. Finally they gave up with trying getting on her and decided to try and gain her trust. In the end Kris was riding Shadow at full gallop around the track.

Matt was leaning up against the gate when Shadow's owner came up and was looking at the miracle that had happened.

"She hasn't let anybody but me ride her since I bought her." Shadow's owner said

"It wasn't easy but, she finally let us" Matt said with a laugh.

"Well great job, I'm pretty impressed, I'm glad that I picked to board her here"

"So what's your name again" Matt asked her

"My name's Anna, you"

"I'm Matt, it's nice to meet you"

"Same here"

Kris brought Shadow to a halt and dismounted her. She walked over to were Matt was talking to some girl. The closer she got, she realize who she was

Anna looked up and her eyes widened

"Kris?"

"Hi Anna" Kris said with hesitation evident in her voice.
