Surprise! Double update! With all the love you guys have given me I decided to give you and extra chapter for today! Enjoy!

Riley's POV

The sun slipped through the trees and into the window before warming the bed in which Riley was fast asleep in. Stretching slowly she yawned as she opened her eyes and smiled when she remembered where she was. Hearing her phone vibrate she picked it up and smiled as she saw Ryder had messaged her.

Ryder – Hey Angel, hope you slept well in the bed I slaved to put together yesterday ;)

Riley – Morning Ryder and I slept very well thank you, all your sweat and tears really made it more comfortable!

Riley smiled as she replied to his dramatic text before climbing out of her bed and sitting on the bay window, grabbing her camera she began to take pictures of the morning sun that was lighting up the fields below. She couldn't believe how beautiful it was here, she could see why Lucas and Zay missed it, her heart clenched as she thought of her old friends a small part of her missed them but she didn't regret leaving, it was time and she knew deep down it was the right thing to do. She felt like she needed to grow, Maya had her painting and singing and how she teased everyone, Farkle was a genius and had Smackle who was also a genius, Zay and Lucas were both athletic. Vanessa was stunning and could dance and Riley felt like she could do nothing, she was the superklutz the goofball, but she didn't have any talents.

Ryder – that's mean! Oh and also I'm coming over in 15 so you better be dressed.

Riley smiled as she read Ryder's text, ever since she met him and Kira yesterday they had gotten a lot closer. They had helped her unpack and organise her room, before cooking a bbq with both families and exchanging funny stories, they also took plenty of selfies which Ryder uploaded to his Instagram.

Riley – okay I'll get dressed now!

Chuckling to herself she walked into her wardrobe and grabbed a pair of leggings and a maroon coloured crop top and a pair of black sneakers, she quickly jumped into the shower to wash away the dirt and grime from the day before. Stepping out she towelled off before getting dressed and plaiting her hair into two plaits. Grabbing her phone and camera she scurried downstairs trying to be quiet as to not wake anyone.

'Mum,

Going out with Ryder, have my phone and will grab food while out.

Love you!

Riles'

She placed the note she had written on the side of the kitchen before grabbing a set of keys and unlocking the door, locking it behind her as she stepped out.

"Hey angel." She turned to see Ryder leaning against a post on the porch with a gentle smile.

"Hey cowboy." She responded playfully as she walked down the stairs with Ryder close behind her. "So what are we doing today for my first official day in Texas?" She asked nudging him as they walked.

"We are going to teach you how to ride." Ryder responded slinging his arm around her as he spoke.

"Don't worry Riley we will both be right beside you." Kira announced as she walked towards them seeing the panicked look on Riley's face. Nodding slowly Riley began to smile.

"Let's do it." Her face was set with determination as they walked towards the stables that Kira and Ryder owned.

"Okay we are going to start you off on Bella, she's as gentle as anything and is great with first time riders." Kira announced as she approached a calm looking horse. Riley placed her hand on Bella's head tentatively, smiling as Bella nickered in response. Standing back she watched as Kira tacked her up before leading her to an outside arena. Ryder and Rjley followed behind before Riley gave her camera to Kira and approaching the horse with Ryder by her side.

"Ryder I'm scared." Riley muttered as she stopped beside Bella who suddenly looked twice as big as she did in the stall. Smiling Ryder turned Rileys face to his.

"You know the first time I ever rode a horse properly I was seven years old, my father was telling me that I had to start slowly, ya know don't run before you can walk. But I had watched a lot of western movies and I was adamant I knew what I was doing, so he picked me up and put me on Bella's mum, I was supposed to wait for him to get his horse and he was going to hold the reins of my horse, but instead I kicked and yelled yehaw! And the horse bolted, with me on the back, I stayed on before I fell of into a nice pile of manure." He admitted laughing as Riley giggled with her hand over her mouth. "Tell anyone that story and I'll tickle you till you can't breathe! But the point is, everyone's first time is scary but I'll be here to make sure nothing will happen to you." He reassured her as he tucked a piece of her hair back behind her ear, unbeknownst to them Kira had placed Riley's camera on the side and picked up her own and was capturing their sweet moment.

"I'm ready cowboy." Riley announced smiling as Ryder gave her a leg up onto Bella, she sank into the saddle and squirmed to get comfy before looking down at Ryder who was staring up at her.

"Look at that you're on and facing the right way, we are off to a good start." He teased as he placed his hand on her knee. Snap. Kira smiled as she stared at the picture she had just taken, before looking up to see Ryder adjust Riley's stirrups. "Okay I'm going to hold onto her with a lead rope and we are just going to walk okay?" Ryder informed Riley who nodded before they began to walk around.

Kira's POV

Kira watched her brother walk around next to Riley on Bella and smiled softly at the sight, she had never seen Ryder so gentle and tender with anyone before, lifting her camera she continued to take pictures of the duo before gasping as Bella stumbled slightly on a hole in the ground throwing Riley sideways, she watched as Ryder caught her instinctively and took their picture as they stared at Evan other in their own world. Smiling she turned to the house and ran inside quickly taking Riley's camera with her before plugging her own camera into the computer, she waited as the pictures downloaded before editing them. She studied the pictures before sending them to Ryder via email, as much as she wanted to put them online she didn't want to do it without Ryder and Riley's permission. Walking back outside she saw Riley and Ryder sitting on the swinging seat with Nate a stable hand taking Bella away to the fields. Ryder looked up as Kira handed Riley her camera back.

"Nice pictures Kira, can I put them on my Instagram?" Riley asked with hopeful eyes as she stared up at Kira.

"Of course! Tag me and Ryder!" She replied as she sat the other side of Riley. Riley smiled before lifting up her phone to take a selfie of the three of them.

Lucas's POV.

He stared at the pictures Riley had just posted and clenched his hands, she was looking up at Ryder in one of them as he tucked her hair behind her ear, another one he was looking up at her as she sat on a horse, then she was in his arms and looking at him like no one else existed. The final was a selfie of her, Ryder and Kira who she had tagged into the picture with the caption. "My cowboy and my summer sun." Pressing the home button he called Zay.

"Lucas what's up?"

"We are going back to Texas. All of us."
