Taylor and her dog, Molly, came into the border stable early Sunday morning, holding Tempest's little pink halter and her purple lead rope. She walked up to the filly's stall, a sad look on her face. Tempest trotted over to Taylor, nickering softly, her breath coming out in little puffs in the cool air. "Hey, sweet heart. Time to go home," she said quietly, walking into the stall with her. She slipped the pink halter onto the eight-month-old filly, then led her outside.
She checked her watch after around five minutes of standing in the cold with Tempest, Molly, and her two suitcases. Taylor took out her phone and sent a the same text to Cassie and Josh:
Hey, leaving SSES 2day, meet me in front of stable. <3 u guys.
Tempest seemed depressed and she moved closer to Taylor for warmth. "Don't worry, girl, the trailer's nice and warm," she told the chestnut tobiano filly. Molly wined and looked around.

Taylor was surprised to see Ari, after so long. She sighed and patted Tempest's neck absentmindedly. "I'm choosing to go home, though. Now that Skylar's dead and my mom's in the hospital with cancer, I just don't think I can stay here anymore," she said, looking at Ari with sad eyes. Molly licked Ari's fingers, her tail wagging gently. Tempest whinnied to some horses in the pasture, and they responded.

Cassie thought her heart stopped when she read the text. She raced up to Josh's door, knocked, yelling "Lemme in!". He'd got the same text. They both raced towards the stables. They saw Tay with her suitcases, and both hugged her wordlessly. They understood she had to go, but it made them sad all the same. Cassie started crying quietly.

Taylor started getting chocked up when Cassie started crying. "Ah, don't cry, Cass, it'll just make this whole situation worse," she said, hugging her best friend. She kissed Josh on the cheek, tears pouring down her's.

Richard Wayne Moore, Taylor's dad, drove his red Chevy SUV up the stables driveway, clearly seeing his daughter standing with some other people, her horse, and her dog. He drove up to them and parked the SUV and trailer beside the barn.
He stepped out of his car and walked toward his suffering girl, sad. He knew why she was coming home: Losing her horse, while her mother was fighting a losing battle with cancer, must be so hard on someone so young. He walked right up to her and gave her a big hug, glancing at the boy standing near her, and wondered who he was.

Molly saw the SUV come up to the barn and sprinted at the figure of what looked to be Taylor. She pumped her arms and ran to throw her arms around Tay's neck. "I can't believe you will be gone!" Tears also fell from her eyes as she hugged Taylor.

Taylor hugged Molly back, and knew that having all her friend's here was just making things harder. "Don't worry, I'll probably be back in a few months. Maybe," she said quietly, a tear falling from her lashes.

Molly pulled away and smiled threw the last few tears, "I will call you when I can!"

"I'll have to keep my phone on at all times then. The time difference from her and Texas is a few hours," Taylor said, managing a small smile.
(Can Gena come too?)

(Yeah I was going to have the other thread be a goodbye)
Molly smiled and nodded.
Gena walked out of the barn after hearing crying and goodbyes. She knew it was time that Taylor would be leaving. She strode out and over to the group of students and Taylor's dad. She reached over her hand to the man, "You must be Taylor's dad. I'm Gena."

(Oh, lol)
Taylor grinned at Molly, then saw Gena coming. She smiled at her too, but it was a sad smile indeed.
Her father nodded and shook Gena's hand. "I'm Richard," he said, smiling at her. He glanced at his daughter, then motioned for Gena and him to leave them. "How did she take Skylar's death? She never told me . . ."

Molly watched the two adults walk off.
Gena frowned at the topic, "It has been hard on her. I think it helped her to be around friends who understood. I think it also helped to have Tempest. Thank you for allowing the foal to come with Taylor."

Taylor looked at Cassie and Josh. "Well, I guess this is goodbye, guys," she said, sniffling.
Mr. Moore nodded, glancing at his daughter. "Yes. I hope she will see reason and come back soon," he said, sighing.

Cassie nodded sadly and wrapped her arms round Taylor, hugging her one last time. Josh smiled sadly at her, and kissed her on the cheek, hugging her, then stepping back. (Super, Dean should come comfort Cas  ) |

Taylor hugged them both, and tried to keep a straight face. She started having trouble seeing as tears filled her eyes again. "I'm gonna miss you guys," she said, sniffling.

Cassie looked at Tay, tears clouding her vision. "I'll miss you too. Call me when you get to Texas, okay?" Josh nodded and said "Miss you." quietly.

"I will," Taylor said quietly, nodding. She looked at Josh with sad eyes, but she managed a small smile. "I'll miss you too. Both of you."
