CHAPTER 1
As I grab my bags I hear a high pitch squeak I would know from miles away. As I turn around I am embrace in a bone crushing hug from my best friend Christiana but we call her Chris for short. Chris is tall and super tan with long black hair.
"Chris I missed you so much" I say still hugging her.
"Tris I can't believe I have survived a year without my best friend" she tells me when she finally released me from her grasp. When we get to her car I see Will was with her waiting. Will is Chris's boyfriend and a great friend he is tall with dirty blonde hair and olive green eyes.
"Tris, it's great to see you again" he says and gives me a big hug.
"It's great to be back Will" it is nice to be back home, Germany was amazing but Alabama is where my heart belongs. The drive to my family's ranch is only an hour away from the airport. When we pull up to the Gates I immediately tell Chris to stop the car. She looks at me then to the big open pasture and understands why I want her to stop. As soon as she stops I leap out of the car and jump over the wooden fence and run to the top of the hill. When I get to the top I can see the big herd of horses. Looking at each horse and I finally spot my horse Whiskey, I whistle to get his attention and when he hears me I see his ears perk up and look at me. When he sees that it me I whistle on more time and he takes off running towards me. Whiskey is a 16 hand Mustang my mom rescued from an abusive home when I was fourteen. Ever since she pulled him off the trailer we have had this bond that no one will ever understand until they have experienced it themselves. When he finally reaches me he nuzzles his nose into my side like he was hugging me.
"I have missed you so much Whiskers, I didn't want to go to Germany without you but we could keep you on base and there was no place close to the base that you could have stayed. I'm sorry I left you hear with Caleb I know he can be a pain in the ass sometimes but I need someone I knew who could take care of you other than mom while I was gone. I love you Whiskey I promise the next time I leave for a long time I will take you with me" I tell him. I hop on his back and sit there while he eats grass soaking in the Alabama air. Still at the top of the hill I can see the whole Ranch and I see that everyone is here. They probably are wondering where I am but I could care less at the moment.

After about an hour just hanging out with Whiskey I finally decided it was time to see everyone else. When I reach the door I am bombarded with 6 dogs jumping on top of me.
"Girls get off of me" I yell and all get off except Blu but she is just an attention whore. "Blu really" I ask and she finally gets of me." I missed you girls" I say while petting each dog. Bentley is 8 she is what I like to call a 'Greaussiador' a Lab/ German Shepard/ Aussie mix, Jordan is a 8 year old Great Dane, Blu is a 7 year old Aussie, Bella is a 6 year old Great Prynesse, Maya is a 6 year old a Mutt, and Dixie is a 6 year old Pit/ Rough Collie mix. Then there are two little tiny inside dog Dumbo a 8 year old Schnauzer /Scotty Terrier mix and Penny a 6 year old Miniature Pinscher. After petting the girls I walk inside and find everyone in the living room playing Zombies. I try to sneak past them into my room but when I reach the stairs I don't hear Uriah and Zeke screaming at the TV anymore. When I look over my shoulder I see everyone's eyes on me.
"Nice try Trissy" Uriah says to me. Uriah and Zeke are my Cousins. Uriah is tall, tan, and has hazel color eyes and brown hair. Zeke and Uriah look a lot alike but Zeke as green eyes instead of Hazel plus Zeke is a year older than Uriah.
"So close" I mutter to myself
"What was that?" Marlene grinned at me
"Nothing" I say. Marlene and Shauna just laugh. Marlene is Uriah's girlfriend she is short but still taller than me with shoulder length red hair and brown eyes. Shauna is Zeke's girlfriend and she is tall like Chris but has long brown hair and brown eyes. I give everyone a hug and tell them that I missed everyone. I find that Caleb and Susan left to go eat and Mom is out with a client. Caleb is asshole yet best big brother he is only two years older than me and Susan is his fiancé and like a sister to me.
"Where is Four?" Zeke ask. Who is Four? Why would someone's name be Four?
"He is on his way, his mom had to work a little late and there was nobody to watch Melody" Will says
"Who is Four?" I ask
"My best friend, he moved here with his mom Evelyn and little sister Melody from Chicago. He can be a little closed off bu-" Zeke is cut off by Chris "can be a little closed off more like an asshole with a permanent scowl sometimes." Everyone laughs
"Yeah but once you get past that outer layer he is a great and loyal friend" Shauna says.
"Well I'm tried and kind of jetlagged so I'm going to go upstairs and take a nap" I say while yawning.

"BOOM"
"NOOOO! Damn it Uri you blow me up with the grenade you threw!" Will shouts
"I wasn't planning on it to go that far" Uri tries to defend himself.
Why does everyone like to come to my house? I get up fix my hair and start unpacking my things. When I finished I run downstairs to find my Mom in the kitchen with and older woman and a girl who looks like she is six.
"Hey Mom" I say while hugging her and give her a kiss on the cheek.
"Hey sweetheart I missed you" she says still giving me a hug "This is Evelyn and Melody" she says gesturing to the woman and girl.
"Hey I'm Tris"
"Nice to meet you Tris I have heard many things about you" Evelyn tells me.
"Hi my name is Melody and I like you so you can call me Mel" the little girl tells me.
"Wow Tris I didn't know what you did but I took me months before I could call her Mel" Uriah says from in the fridge. Wait when did he get in the Kitchen? Then I look around and see everyone is in the Kitchen. When did they get in here?
"Tris this is my best bud Four" Zeke says while pointing to a tall guy with dark blue eyes, dark brown hair that looks almost black.
"Hi, it's nice to meet you"
"Hey, nice to meet you too, I have heard so many things about you" he says
"I hope only good things" I say. I grab a banana and see Caleb has finally graced us with is presence.
"Caleb it great to see you and I need to talk to you about Whiskey in my room in a few minutes" I say while hugging him.
"Tris it great to have you back home and yeah I'll be up there in a few"
"Great and Susan nice to see you again" I say while giving her a hug.
"Well im going to go finish unpacking" I tell everyone and head upstairs. A few minutes later Caleb walks in.
"Hey, what do you need to talk about?"
"Two things, first did you do everything I told you to do to take care of Whiskey?"
"Yes, I did my best but he was still a little depressed when you left, but know that your back he looks happier"
"Second,do you have any pot?"
"Yes" he says with a chuckle
"Yay, who all smokes here besides you, me, Susan, Chris, Uri, and Zeke?"
"Marlene, Shauna, Will, and Four since you left"
"What I thought those three were never going to do it?" I say shocked
"Well they were missing you and Uri thought it was a great way to take their mind off of you"
"Oh, that kind of makes sense"
"Yep"
"Well you tell everyone I'm going to the barn and if they would like to join me I got a great pipe from Germany that I want you to try"
"Okay, give me like 5 minutes to change and will be right there"
"Okie" I grab my pipe and head to the barn where we all smoke and drink and hang out. After about five minutes of playing with Quincy the barn cat I see everyone start walking into the barn. Tonight is gonna be a great night I hope.
