Not Your Typical Country Girl Chapter Thirty Seven
Clay's POV
The chute door flew open and the 황소, 불 barely got out of the chute before he started spinning in a circle. It didn't take him long to buck Harmony off. I was already in the arena trying to get the 황소, 불 away from her but it was no use. He was charging at Harmony who continued to lie there not moving.
"Get up," I yelled.
I whistled as I tried to get the bulls attention. But he charged at her and scrubbed his head into her legs. She still wasn't moving. I whistled at the 황소, 불 again and waved my arms. I ran for the 상단, 맨 위로 of the chutes as the 황소, 불 chased me. I looked back and saw Isaiah pulling Harmony 의해 the arm out of the arena.
I jumped up and climbed up over the chute. I had made it and was safe. I would hate to be this close to town only to call and tell them I can't make up. I got hurt. They would not be happy to hear that.
I walked over to Harmony who was now sitting up talking to Mr. Timothy and Isaiah. That was a good sign to see. Isaiah helped her up.
"You okay, sis," I asked worried.
"I'm fine," she said, "thanks y'all!"
"Not a problem. I'm happy 당신 aren't hurt," Mr. Timothy said.
"Me too," Isaiah added, "I better get back to work."
"Thanks again," Harmony said.
"Anytime," Isaiah said as he smiled.
"Bye to 당신 too," I said laughing.
"Bye Clay," he said as his face turned red.
"I'm sorry to say this but I have to be in town soon," I said, "I'm sorry that 당신 have to end practice like this!"
"It's okay," she sighed, "it was probably for the best. Thank 당신 for allowing me to come and ride today!"
"Not a problem! I enjoyed seeing 당신 ride," Mr. Timothy said, "maybe 다음 time we can get 당신 to stay on longer!"
"I sure hope so," she said.
"Thank 당신 again," I said, "see 당신 tonight!"
"See 당신 two then," he said.
"Where are we going tonight," Harmony asked once we were in the truck.
"We have church tonight," I stated, "it's Wednesday!"
"Oh yeah," she said as stared out the window of the truck.
Harmony's POV
I hadn't ever seen this place before. It was new me. I saw a sign that said "pool" with an 애로우 pointing in the direction we were going.
"Why are we going to a pool," I asked confused.
"After high school I'm joining the Navy. I bought 당신 here so 당신 could see how I have been training for this," Clay said as he sent a worried glance my way, "I wanted to show 당신 that I haven't made this decision on a whim. I have really been at this for a whole."
"Oh," I said as it came out as a whisper.
Once Clay parked his truck I followed him inside through a hallway and then back outside to a large pool.
"Woah," I muttered.
"Isn't it awesome," he exclaimed, "I want 당신 to meet some of my friends!"
"Okay," I said as I gulped.
"Hey boys, Clay has finally gotten a girlfriend," some guy said.
"Easy Phillip, this is my sister," Clay stated, "this is Phillip, Mason, Daniel, and Kobe. Y'all this is Harmony!"
"Nice to meet y'all," I said.
"How long have 당신 had a sister," Mason asked confused, "have 당신 been keeping her locked up?"
"No, I'm adopted," I said laughing, "his parents adopted me a few months ago."
"Well, it's nice to meet you," Kobe said.
"Yeah what he said," Daniel said smiling.
"So what'd 당신 do to your knee," Phillip asked.
"Well, I'll give ya the short story. I had a horse come down on my knee with his hoof and then I've had a few bulls hit my knee," I said, "so I have to be in a brave..."
The boys were quiet as they looked at Clay as if I was lying.
"Believe me! Shes telling the truth," he said, "she's tuff and I'm proud to call my sister!"
"Wow, that's cool," Mason said.
"Come on Harmony, I'll show ya the pool before we have to start swimming," Clay said.
"Okay," I said.
I followed Clay to the edge of the pool. It was big!
"This is an Olympic size pool," he stated, "it's about 12 feet deep where we are standing and then it goes to 3 feet down there."
"Uh okay," I said.
"What wrong," he asked as he turned towards me.
Before I could say anything someone had come up behind me and was dangling me over the pool. I started screaming and kicking. I was trying to fight my way back to the ground. I didn't have to fight long before I was on my hands and knees crawling away.
"Sorry man, I didn't think she would freak like that," Phillip said in the background.
I tried to calm myself. I was breathing heavy and still scared. The memory was coming back and I didn't want it to. I tried to forget it. I didn't want to remember anything about it.
"Harmony, are 당신 okay," Clay asked as he came over to me.
I was still sitting on the ground. I looked up at him. I was still afraid. My 심장 felt like it was beating out of my test.
" I don't do water," I said as he helped me, "I had a bad experience once."
"Did 당신 almost drown in a pool," he asked concerned.
"No," I said as I hesitated, "my mom tried to drowned me in a bathtub when I was little."
"Harmony," he whispered as he pulled me into a forceful hug.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have reacted that way," I said.
"I'm really sorry," Phillip said as he came up, "I didn't know 당신 would react that way."
"It's okay," I said, "just don't so that again!"
Phillip have me a smile and walked away.
"You can sit here while we swim," Clay said, "it won't take long. But we do have other things to do. If 당신 get to hot then 당신 can go to the truck."
"Okay thank you," I said as he handed me keys, "can I have some ice for my knee?"
"Sure 당신 can follow me," he said, "we can go to the first aide and sit in there for a minute!"
"Hey James! I want ya to meet someone. This is my sister, Harmony," Clay said as he busted through the door of the first aide room.
"Nice to meet you," he said, "was that 당신 screaming out there?"
"Yeah, I'm really sorry about that! I just have this thing with deep water," I stated.
"Oh don't apologize," he said, "maybe Phillip will learn not to do that to people!"
I just offered a smile. I didn't know what else to say.
"Do 당신 mind if Harmony sits in here while I go to the locker room and change," he asked, "she also needs some ice for her knee!"
"Sure thing," James said, "you didn't hurt it here did you?"
"Not unless there's a 황소, 불 out there," I stated as he looked at me odd, "no I didn't!"
"So you're a 황소, 불 rider," he asked as he got ice from a freezer.
"Sorta," I said.
"That's cool," he said.
"This place is really cool," I said as I tried to change the subject.
"Yeah it can be nice," he said, "like at closing when no one is here!"
"That's funny," I said as I laughed a little bit.
"You ready to come back outside," Clay asked as he peeped his head in.
"Sure thang," I replied.
"Nice to meet you," James said.
"You too," I said smiling.
