Chapter Three:
Lennox's POV
"You're already on my bad side, Cameron." I get
closer to his face. "But, if you fess up now, I can try to
make an effort."
He looks down at his feet, before taking my hand. I try to pull
away from his grip, but to be honest, he's helping me stay up
straight. He sits down on the fence. I lean against it, not able
to really hop onto it.
"Well," He sighs. "While you were cleaning out, I
went for a smoke. Just to you know, get rid of them faster. I was
feeling ansy. Then, I swear, I thought I put it out, and I threw
it. The wind must've blown it onto the porch."
It was him. I knew I had a bad feeling from the start. He's
just trouble.
"Well, I can't really do anything. But you can, go
saddle up, and find my mom's horse."
"I've never ridden," He looks ashamed.
"Learn." I snarl, before heading back to see my mom. I
limp over, to see the EMT's talking to my mom, along with a
few firemen. They all look at me in unison. I sit down on the
back of the truck, and lift my leg. The pain strikes through my
whole leg, going up into my lower stomach.
My mom tells me everything alright before going over to look at
the house.
"Miss," One of the younger firemen comes over.
"We've been talking, and we determined the cause of the
fire...Do you smoke?"
"No," I look up to him. "It was that
city-slicker." I frown.
"We don't want to blame anyone."
"He admitted it, he didn't mean to do it, but he did.
He's out looking for my mom's horse though."
"You trusted him to leave!?" My mom over hears, and
comes back over. "You know why he's here right? He tried
escaping his juvi hall. Great." My mom retorts, and runs
off, into the fenced in area with the horses. She saddles Pheonix
up, and runs off, infuriated.
I sigh, wanting to saddle up, and run after them. But I
can't, the pain in my leg is too much now. I look to
the EMT's, and ask them what's wrong.
"You see, when the horse kicked you, it's horseshoe was
falling out, and one of the nails struck into your leg,
you're lucky to be walking with how far the nail went in. The
hospital, last night, got it out of you. Do you remember last
night?"
"No," I sigh. "Not anything after the
fire."
"Lennox!" Cam comes running back, with no horse.
"Lennox!"
