"Why would I laugh? Everyone gets stage fright." Allison said. She really didn't think it was that bad. "So where do you come from?" Allison asked. She wanted to get off the topic of stage fright and learn a bit about this boy. She patted Titans neck. The real reason she was afraid to hit a horse was because of the way her father died. I guess you could say her bravery around horses died with her father. The only reason she had continued to ride after his death was because she was hoping to make him proud. He had been one of the best mustang breakers in their county, and he had died trying to break another horse in. Since her fathers death Allison was never the same. She refused to ride with a whip, or really make a horse do anything it didn't want to. She had a fear of being thrown and then stomped like her father had been when he died.

Russell flashed a grin at her, she really didn't care about his fear? "Me and my dad live in South Carolina, what about you?" he asked, his thoughts flooded with memories of the horse farm his mother used to own. He became sad once he thought about his mother, but he could stand thinking about her now. He looked around at the other students that were partnered up, he wondered if they had clicked like he and Allie. He then looked down at Lena who was now becoming impatient from standing still in all the excitement of being around more horses.

{Sorry it so short...can't think of anything right now, lolz!}

"I come from Oregon. It's just Mom, the little kids and me now. My older siblings left after we sold the ranch, and dad well he's been gone for a while now." She told Russel. She had a hard time talking about her father and she never used the word dead, just gone. It hurt to much to say the word dead, like if she said it out loud it would make his death more real. She didn't only loose her father she lost most of her family after his death. Mom had started drinking a lot and sleeping most of the day. Her two older brothers had moved away after the ranch was sold, and her little siblings rarely smiled. It had been hard on her family when her dad died but Allison was the worst of the kids. She had to go to therapy for a long time after his death. She came back to earth and looked at Russel.

Russel saw how Allie looked when she talked about her father, he finally came to the conclusion that he had passed away. "Oh, I'm so sorry for your loss," he managed to say, he felt bad for her. "My mother passed away when I was 14, now its just me and my dad," he added, it was equally as hard for him to talk about his mother as it was for Allie. "Oh, I'm sorry. You probably don't want to talk about this...." he said once he realized that he had told her about his mom without even realizing it. He wondered why he felt like he could trust Allie so soon, usually he wouldn't even talk about his mom to his best friend back at home.

"No it's fine. It's just something that isn't talked about in the family, a don't ask don't tell sort of thing. I am sorry about your mom." She said looking away. She didn't often talk about her dad and when she did it was just to simply tell someone he had passed away. And she usually didn't talk to people anyways. But, for some strange reason she enjoyed talking to Russel. She turned back to Russel her hazel eyes filled with sadness. After you got to know Allie you could tell just by her eyes what mood she was in. Her eyes reflected emotion like an open book.

Russell saw the look in her eyes when Allie turned back to look at him. Oh, S***! I didn't want to make her upset! He thought. "Oh...don't be sad. It's ok," he said quickly. He wasn't really good at comforting people, and the sentence came out awkward when he said it. Although, he did want to make Allie feel better, he didn't like to see her like this. Especially when she seemed like a cheerful girl before. He began thinking of ways to change the subject, but all his ideas where clouded by the look in her eyes. "How's about we get started on our riding problems, its not like either of us need more," he said calmly, it wasn't the best excuse, but it was all he could think of. He hoped Allie didn't take it as being interuptive, but he didn't know what else to say and he certainly didn't want to think about their passed parents. "That is, if its okay with you." he added.

[Make Me A Dream]

" Yes let's." Allison said gratefully. She knew he was trying to comfort her in a way. He may not have been that good at it but it was the thought that mattered. A bit of the happy shine came back to her eyes. Russel truly did have a good soul. " So what's the source of your fear? What are you afraid of when you ride? I have heard if you speak your fears out loud it helps you get over them." Allison asked Russel thinking of his stage fright problem. Finally 2 years of therapy came in handy. How many times had she heard the same sentence being said to her? She smiled to herself at that thought. She didn't often stay sad. It was hard to keep her mad or sad at anyone. It just wasn't in hr nature, so just as quickly as she was sad she was back to her normal self.

Russell smiled when he noticed Allie had cheered up. His smile quickly disappeared again when he had to talk about his fear. "I don't know..." he said like a kid that didn't want to clean his room. Of course, he was lieing. He knew why, it was because he was overwelmed with thoughts when he rode but he didn't know the source of his fear. "I just have a hard time thinking straight, I guess...I don't think there is a source," he added. He had opened himself up some to Allie but still felt the need to withdraw himself from her. Come on, it shouldn't be this hard... he thought as he looked down at Lena again before looking back at Allie expectantly. He wished it was going to be easy, like Allie had all the answers he needed but of course, right when Russ had a problem it couldn't be fixed the easy way.

[Make Me A Dream]

Allison chewed on her bottom lip thinking. She smiled as she realized she had no clue about how to help him. "Sorry Russ I have nothing. I am really bad at any type of psychologist stuff." She said with a laugh. She felt a bit embarrassed though that she couldn't help him. She looked away as she felt a blush light her face. She really didn't want to look like an idiot in front of Russ.
