Misunderstood

Annie POV

-

After my shower I crept out into the bedroom quietly. I thought Jacob was still asleep and as far as I could see I was right.

I slowly got dressed and then slipped my black leather, lace up boots on. After I tied them up, I grabbed a note pad. And scribbled down on it.

'Going for a ride.'

I put it on the bed side table next to the clock, and slipped out of the room. Closing it as I left. I walked straight down the stairs and was hoping not to run into anyone.

"Annie? Come in here?"

It was May, and there was no way I was going to go into a room with her alone.

"Annie!"

She said it really loud, so I stormed into the kitchen where she was.

"If you don't mind keeping your voice down. Jacob has gotten no sleep and is trying to rest. So keep your mouth shut."

I walked straight back out of the room and then out the front door. I ran down to the horse stable and went to find Scarlet.

"Scarlett, girl. Wanna go for a ride?"

I said as I walked down the stall full of horses. When I reached Scarlett's stall I grabbed a horse saddle, and the rope and lead.

"Hey girl, how are ya?"

I said as I opened her stall up. She walked straight up to me and basically hugged me.

"I missed you too."

I hadn't been down in about 3 weeks. Looks like she missed me.

"Here let's saddle you up."

I said as I walked to her side, I placed the saddle on her and did it up. Then connected the rope around her neck. I put the lead into her saddle bag.

"I forgot some apples. Here we will get some on our ride."

I walked out of the horse stable, with out Scarlett on a lead, she has gotten used to no lead when coming out of the stable.

"Let's go."

As soon as we were out of the stable I closed the gate. Then climbed up onto the saddle. We rode down the drive and when we got to the gate I jumped off her and opened the gate. Again she just walked out and I didn't have to put her on a lead. Scarlett was good like this.

"Giddy up girl!"

I said as we rode down the road, picking up our pace for a little bit. But once the town was in sight I slowed down. The town looked familiar yet, I hadn't seen it before. Or since I had been here. The street names were so familiar.

"Ballesteros road."

I looked down at Scarlett and pulled her to a halt.

"That's near my old house. Let's go there Scar, I could use some more clothes."

We rode down all the familiar roads until we were trotting along the road that my house was on.

"21....23.... Ahh 25. Home sour home."

I rode up to the drive way and took the horse in tying her up to the post of our veranda, I walked up to the door and gave it a knock.

"Just a minute!"

I heard my sister call out. This would be fun. I stood there holding my hands in front of me, then the door opened.

"Hi, how are you.... Annie?"
