Not Your Typical Country Girl Chapter Forty Two
I took a load of manure outside of the 谷仓 and I noticed Finn walking this way.
"Having a good day?" He asked rudely.
"Not really." I 说 as I sat the wheelbarrow down. "What about you?"
"Me neither. 你 wanna know why?" He asked. "Because 你 left your horse out and we had to get up really early to kill him, bury him, and do some of your chores while 你 go off on a joy ride!"
"Well thank 你 for doing all that." I 说 grateful. "But it was an accident!"
"Sure it was!" He 说 as he rolled his eyes.
"Just go away." I 说 as I pushed him away from me.
Finn shoved me back so I pushed him harder. 下一个 thing I know, I am on the ground and the wind has been knocked outta me. I sucked a quick breath of air back into my lungs as I tried to fight back the best I can. I felt pain 由 my mouth but I wasn't sure what had caused it.
Tucker's POV
I walked towards the 谷仓 to go see if Harmony needed any help. I know she took a little bit of time off this morning so we could bury her horse. I felt bad for her. I knew she felt terrible about if. Harmony really loved that horse. A lot! It was her first best friend she had made here.
I got closer to the 谷仓 and I saw two people wrestlin' around. It was Finn and Harmony! Harmony was sitting on 最佳, 返回页首 of Finn and had her left fist back really to deliver a punch.
"Okay 你 two, that is enough," Clay yelled loudly from the 谷仓 door.
Harmony looked over at Clay and Finn got a 冲床 to her stomach. She gripped her stomach as she rolled off of him.
I have no idea what to do. I am shocked that they were fighting. I thought Finn knew better than that.
"Finn! Seriously?" Clay yelled annoyed.
Harmony slowly got up and nailed him 由 his eye. It barely affected him and he had tackled Harmony again.
I ran over to them, wanting to help Clay break the fight up. I pulled Finn up and stood in between him and Harmony.
"What are y'all doin'?" Clay asked confused. "Why are y'all fightin'?"
"Nothing." Finn mumbled.
"It was a misunderstanding. Right Finn?" Harmony 说 as she wiped blood from lip.
"Right." Finn grumbled as he looked at the dirt.
"Harmony don't 你 cover up for Finn." Clay demanded.
"Why are 你 always taking her side? Ever since she got here, you've been taking her side on every little thing!" He 说 angry. "It's like 你 don't care about your real sibling!"
"That is not true Finn! I care the same amount for 你 as I do for Harmony, Lance, 或者 Dustin!" He stated.
"Well, it doesn't feel like it." Finn whispered as he looked back at the ground.
"I'm sorry that it seems that way." Clay 说 as he hugged Finn. "So, are y'all gonna tell us what the fight really was 'bout?"
"I don't know what you're talkin' 'bout." Harmony 说 as she lied through her teeth.
"Harmony, 你 know the fight where 你 got that bloody lip and 冲床 to your stomach." I said. "We saw the whole thing so don't lie!"
"Right." She 说 as pressed her lips together. "That one."
"You don't haveta lie." Finn stated. "We got into a fight because I was mad I had to get up earlier and do her chores while she had fun."
"Harmony, will 你 give us a minute?" Clay asked Finn sighed.
"Look Finn, the only reason why I asked to take Harmony away from here is because she's a girl. Girls are 更多 sensitive when it comes to things like this." Clay said. "If she wasn't a girl, she would have been helping us."
"I guess since she is out here working and riding bulls, I forget that she's not always tough." Finn 说 a bit embarrassed.
"Don't let her fool you. She is tough when she needs to be but when she's alone, Harmony isn't that tough." I added. "Nothin' to be embarrassed about. Girls are complicated."
"You've got that right." Finn 说 laughing.
"Not go get some ice for that eye. We need ya to see what you're doin'." Clay 说 a bit demanding.
"How am I gonna explain this to mom and dad?" Finn asked nervously. "They always told me not to hit a girl!"
"Well, she did hit back." I said. "Maybe he'll understand?"
"Doubtful but good luck!" Clay added.
Harmony's POV
I went inside the house to get some ice for my lip and to try to get it to stop bleeding.
"Sweetheart, what happened to ya?" Abigail asked worried.
"Me and Finn got into a fight." I 说 as I shrugged my shoulders. "But it's alright. We are fine now!"
"Who started it?" She asked angry.
"Well I started the fight. He started the argument." I stated.
"Harmony, girls do not fight." Abigail stated. "We are suppose to be ladies no matter the situation!"
"Well, ladies don't 公牛 ride either so I guess I'm not a lady." I 说 as I grabbed the bag ice and headed for the door.
"Mom, I need some ice." Finn 说 as he came though the door.
"Hey Finn." I 说 as I passed him.
"Hey." He 说 chuckling.
I head back towards the wheelbarrow I had left.
"Where did 你 learn to fight?" Tucker asked as he scared me.
I looked over to my right and saw Tucker swinging on the porch.
"Why are 你 impressed?" I asked giggling.
"A little bit. I didn't think 你 had it in you. I figured 你 would be the type to fly in stead of fight." He 说 seriously.
"Depends on the situation." I stated. "You want some tea?"
"No ma'am, I'm alright." Tucker 说 as patted the 座位 beside him.
I went over and sat 下一个 to him.
"Nice day, huh." I 说 awkwardly.
"How are you?" He asked suddenly.
"Well, my mouth is alright. However, my stomach is hurting." I said.
"I wasn't talking 'bout the fight." Tucker stated as he glanced at me. "How are 你 since the accident?"
I looked over at him. I wasn't sure if I could say it without letting on that I was hurting.
"I better get back to work." I 说 softly.
I got up and walked toward the wheelbarrow once again.
I couldn't bare letting Tucker know I am hurting. It would be hard to tell him without crying my eyes out. It would be hard to tell anyone. I mean Clay caught me crying that was bad enough. Much less Tucker 或者 Abigail catching me cry over a horse.
I stuck the ice bag under my 衬衫 once as I got closer to the 谷仓 and the wheelbarrow. It was really cold but it felt nice on this hot day. I glanced back to the porch and saw Tucker staring at me but then Finn walked out on the front porch.
All the sudden I heard my phone ringing but I didn't feel it vibrating. I looked around on the ground as saw my phone lying there. I went over and answered it quickly.
"Hello." I said.
"Hey Harmony, it's Isaiah." He said. "I'm heading about an 小时 and a half east of here for a rodeo. Do 你 wanna go?"
"Oh hey! Yeah I would 爱情 to go!" I said. "When will 你 be here?"
"Around 3." Isaiah said.
"Okay. Well then I better go finish cleaning the stalls." I said. "See 你 then!"
"Okay bye." He 说 and then he hung up.
Yes! Another rodeo!
