I turned my head away from the window shocked at what my parents had just told me. 'what did you guys say?' I whisper my dad looks down and taps his cowboy boots while my step mom fixes her dress and hair nervously 'what did you guys say?' I say louder my parents look up at me 'you are going to stay at your grandparents home in New York your leaving in 3 days' says my step mom.
I stare at them 'no way' I say loudly and watch as Buster our dog trots to the door and pushes the screen and walks out to the front porch. 'theres no way im stayin' with them iv never even really met them!'' I almost yell 'honey you have too we think that maybe if you go away for a while we will be able to get everything finished up with our money and fixing up the barn, it was your moms idea' says my dad as he looks at my step mom I look at him and I know that me being here isn't helping with our money but I also know that she just wants to get rid of me. 'how long?' I say 'about a year' says my step mother I stare at her with hatred she changed my dad.
after mom left this lady came along and changed him now he doesn't even care about me and all she does is try to annoy me 'NO!' I yell out 'you will do as your told!' she yells back 'your not my mother you bit-' "ENOUGH!' my dad yells as I push my chair back and it falls over and I run out the door.
Buster stares at me as I run to the barn and into my horse Paradise's stall he watches as I grab his bridle from the hooks and put it on him I can hear my dad walking over and that witches heels too so I swing onto his back and turn him so I can open the stall door I can hear her heels clacking down the stone floor and I gallop out of that barn like a bat out a hell she yells at me as I gallop out onto the trails.
I slow dow paradise as we reach the river I hated that woman all she did was yell at me and tell me what to do and I hated her for it, she hated the country and the animals. and now shes making me leave my home my dad my horse back here while I live in that smelly and awful place theres no way, i will run away.
and before i could get Paradise out of the trail Pepper trots over , Pepper has worked at the farm for a long time and we are both great friends and i know he proabably saw what happened \whats wrong' he says fixing his hat and leaning forward 'they wat me to move to new york' i say petting paradises neck 'i knoiw' he whisperd 'how did you know?' i ask ' boss told us' he says and i roll my eyes 'im not going' i say 'why not?' he says staring at me with his blue eyes and red hair 'because i don't know them and i don't want to leave'
'well come on its an adventure go meet new people do new things it would be amazing!' he says excitedly and i know what he says is right 'but she will change everthing around here' i say madly 'that's why we ran out of money because of her' i say madly 'its okay ill keep an eye on her' whispers pepper i stare at him 'and what about Para-' he stops me 'ill take special care of him' he says.
i nod my head 'but i cant leave ' i say 'you will because i need you to buy me the coolest souvenir you have ever seen okay' he say 'what the hell your so wierd' i laugh 'okay lets head back before they get too mad' i say as we start trotting back up the trail.
