A
Christmas
to
Remember
Chapter
One
Riding was my heart, I'd been riding in rodeos and
competitions since I was nine, so with the annual winter horse
jumping competition coming to town I was, like always, down at
the stables near the far corner of our land next to the big oak
tree that I would swing from into the big pond right beside it.
Daddy had this stable built the moment he saw that I loved
jumping horses, then he spent a ton of money buying me a red
stallion colt just for me to grow up and spend time with.
Firedust had grown up tall and strong and I did too. His red coat
had an orangish blonde tint to it now making me even happier that
Firedust was my award winning horse's name.
My dad's beat up old chevy topped the big hill heading
toward the stables while I was running my course jumping my
highest hurdles to make sure Firedust was more than ready for
winning that competition with me. "Star, is that you?"
a tall, tan black haired boy yelled as he climbed out of the bed
of old beat up truck. Tyler? Could that really be him? I turned
Firedust toward the side gate where the boy was running and rode
out right through the stable doors. Climbing from Firedust I put
him in his stall and walked out and was tackled into a pile
of hay in the corner. "Stargirl!" I looked up into the
blue eyes I had missed so much. "Ty-ty," the nickname I
gave him coming out in a quiet gasp as I threw my arms around his
neck and hugged him as tight as I could..
My best friend was back. His jet black hair was longer and fell
just perfectly across his eyes in the most perfect of ways; his
blue eyes shone brighter from his tan face and he blinding white
teeth smiled down at me like I've missed for so many years.
When he let me up I didn't want to let go but new I had to,
only in my dreams could I hold him and never let go. Snow had
began falling and a faint layer was beginning to stick to the
ground. Tyler was back and this time I wasn't letting him
go.
