Reader's, I
know I always do this to you, but I've been so disappointed
in my writing lately. Plus, I don't write that often. I
really do like writing, but my stories always disappoint me. They
don't even get that many faves, so I don't see the point
in continuing anymore.
Much love, xendlessdreamerx.

Chapter Four:
Cam's POV
With every footstep in the pasture, I fall deeper in my lies.
Already. I just got to this d*mn place, and I've lied about
everything. I don't know why I'm trying so hard to
impress Lennox.
When I finally reach her, I'm momentarily captivated by her
gorgeous brown locks, and her striking blue eyes. I almost forget
what I wanted to say, but then it hits me.
The horse is hurt. I sigh, and catch my breath before opening my
mouth to speak. I'm not sure how to put it. It just comes out
of my mouth, all scrambled.
"The horse, the one I was on. It fell, and I don't know
what to do. Your mom, she's there. She told me to come get
you. I, I, I'm sorry."
She looks at me, then down at her leg, then up at me again.
"First you burn down my house, then you hurt my horse,
aren't you such a sweetheart?" She sarcastically looks
right past me. I take her hand, and help her walk to the
horse.
"You know," I say. "This whole time I've been
here, I've been trying to impress you. It hasn't worked
one bit, I don't get it. How can I get you to like
me?"
Her eyes widen when they look at me, before looking away. Her
pale cheeks turn into a rosy red color, and she smiles to
herself, then frowns again.
"I don't like smokers," She says. "I don't
like bad boys, no morals, and when people aren't respectful.
And besides, your pants are too low. You gotta know how to dress,
and act before anything is ever considered."
"Teach me," I admit. "Teach me to be
good."
"You can't be taught to be good by someone else, you
need to teach yourself."
I nod, and we finally get to the horse. Lennox's mom is
sitting down, her shirt sleeve ripped off, and tied around the
hoof. Lennox leans down, and helps raise the horses leg. She
takes the remaining nail out of the hoof, barehanded. I raise an
eyebrow, and back up. The horse-shoe comes off, and the horse
kicks a little.
A bright red truck barrells down a path, scaring the limp
horse.
Out of it steps a short guy, with a tanned face. He's shorter
than me, but much taller than Lennox. He gets in front of Lennox,
and does something I can't see. Lennox comes over to me, with
tears in her eyes.
I put my arm around her, feeling guilty, it was all my fault. I
look down at her, looking up at me.
"I will not touch one cigarette ever again, all for
you."
"You really like me, why?"
I lick my lips before speaking.
Author's Note: Well, what do you think of Cam's
point? Should I alternate? Or keep it Lennox's POV?
COMMENT.

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!"
Author's Note: I wrote this last night, but I decided

Chapter Two:
Lennox's POV
I pause for a second before running into the barn. The horses
neigh in fear, kicking around in their stalls. I grab two at a
time, and get them out. Cam runs in before me, grabbing another
two. I run in hopes of getting the last two.
The barn is full of smoke. I cover my mouth and nose with my
sleeve until I feel the latch of the horse stall. Not meaning to,
the horse kicks me down. The blood starts running down my leg,
and I can't move it. I push myself to the last stall, and
open the latch. I move out of the way so the horse doesn't
hit me.
I cover my mouth and nose, but I get dizzy.
"Lennox," My mom calls. "Lennox?!"
"Over," My voice is faint. "Over
here..."
"Lennox?" Her voice gets closer. She's breathing
heavily.
I feel a pair of strong hands pick me up, but I can't
breathe.
My eyes close, and everything goes black.
* * *
"You alright?" My mom's voice soothes me. She
brushes the strands of hair out of my eyes.
I nod, everything still blurry.
"Is everything alright?" My voice is still
scratchy.
"Surprisingly, yes." My mom smiles at me.
"Did all the horses get out alright?"
My mom doesn't answer, she looks away before looking back at
me. "Pegasus ran away." She doesn't make
eye-contact, but I can see her eyes tearing up. Pegasus is her
favorite horse, her first horse she bought for the
farm.
I sit up, and notice that I'm not in a hospital, I'm in
the back of an ambulance. It's not moving, and the doors are
open.
"Can I go see it?" I rub my forehead. She nods,
clearing her eyes. I get up, and walk with a limp. I see my lower
pant leg cut off, and see a few stitches in my leg. I look up,
and see the house, looking fine. The barn has a few black spots.
I walk through it, noticing a few charred bags of grain. I walk
out the back of the barn, and see the back of the house. The once
perfectly straight porch is fallen into the ground. I see a
small, burnt cigarette, that looks like it might've started
the fire.
Cam kicks his feet, looking at the blackened porch. He sees me,
and quickly puts out a cigarette, and turns the other way.
"Don't even think about it," I look at him.
"Stop, please. I can't run after you."
"What?" He looks at me.
"It was you, wasn't it? Who started the fire, with those
d*mn cigarettes!"
"You don't have any proof..."
Author's Note: Two chapters in one day? Woohoo! Well,
what do you think? I know I really like this chapter. Not only
does it say a lot about Lennox, but it opens up a whole new side
to Cameron! Hope you're liking it.
