Home is where the heart is

Brett laughed and pulled the hair out of her face and helped her mount the horse. When the arrived back at the ranch he went to grab his own truck for the two to go to lunch.

When they got back and in the truck, she looked over at Brett and yawned. "So you pick where we eat and I'll pay. I owe ya." She said and laughed softly.

"You don't owe me anything." He repeats from this morning. Picking a place the two pulled in and sat down for lunch. "What?" He asks with a bright smile when he saw her looking at him.

 

[isax]

"Nothin'." Ryan said as she laughed and then looked at the menu to pick what she wanted. She couldn't help but glance at Brett every here and there.

Brett caught her but smiled to himself and didn't say anything. She wanted to say something to him but wouldn't say it. Ordering food he turned back towards her. What's up?"

 

[isax]

"Whatcha mean?" Ryan asked as she blinked and then looked at him. Did it look like she was thinking of something?

Brett rolled his eyes. "You're not tellin' me somethin' and its botherin' you. What is it?" He asked as she laughed. "His eyes lit up teasingly. "Did you meet a nice doctor?" He asks with a laugh.

Ryan shook her head and laughed at Brett. "Quite the opposite really. I think I've started to like another cowboy." She said and sighed as she shook her head. "But it's nothin'. I could never ask anyone to be apart of my family."

"Oh Ryan, you're so stubborn us know? It's not a sin to want to be happy again. If it's Levi you're worried about he probably had somethin' to do with it knowing that sap." Brett said with a laugh.

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed and let out a smile as she looked at Brett. "Yeah. I think he supports me with my decision on who it is but I don't know. It won't happen." She said with a shrug.

"You don't that for sure unless you try." He says softly and began to eat the luck they were served. Ryan was a sweet girl and he didn't know who wouldn't want to give her a chance. She was the most caring and nutting person he knew who had an unfair hand dealt her. When lunch was finished he beat her in paying and drove the two back to the ranch. "Well congrats mom, you made it through a whole school day without goin' crazy." He says with a laugh.

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed and nodded. "It's a part of him growin' up. I can't be goin' crazy." She said and walked into the house and invited Brett in and she went up to her room to get hers and Bentleys clothes and started the wash. "Shellys goin' to pick him up so if ya want you can stay over." She called out.

Brett smiled when he heard her and went to looking at the pictures she had on the wall of her and Bentley together. They were cute. A few minutes later he turned to her when she walked out. "He's so much like his father I almost feel bad for you."

 

[isax]

Ryan laughed and shrugged. "I find it cute to be honest. I get a reminder of Levi everyday." She said and then looked at Brett and smiled. "Hey um, Brett?" She asked but then backed out. "Never Mind." She said with a smile.

"What is it?" He asked curiously but he was cut short when Shelly walked in. He smiled at her but his smile fades when she held anger in her eyes. "What's the matter?" He asks not sure if he wanted to step closer knowing she was the one Levi got his bad temper from when someone upset him. Her eyes were livid and she was tense but at the same time he saw her holding back tears.

 

[isax]

"Where's Bentley? He outside with the horses? What's wrong Shelly?" Ryan asked as she looked at her and walked over and laid a hand on her shoulder to try and calm her down. What happened that Shelly was so tense?

Shelly relaxed slightly when Ryan approached her and shook her head. "She took my son over my dead body Will she takes yours. I asked police but she picked him up from school."

 

[isax]

This made Ryan freeze. What? Rebecca took her son from school?! Ryan wanted to cry but looked at Brett and stayed strong. "Do they have any possible lead?" She asked. Bentley was taken by someone he didn't even know. Why did this have to happen?

Shelly shook her head. 'Not the slightest." She said with a sigh. She knew Bentley wouldn't just walk off with a stranger. How did she get to him? Brett was completely angered by this, the thoughts of Levi dying right in front of him came spoofing to his mind. Taking Ryan's hand he ran for the truck. His heart was racing, the thought of Bentley getting hurt was too much.

 

[isax]

Ryan looked at Brett and then ran off with him. She was shaking. She didn't want anything to happen to Bentley and if something did, she wouldn't live with herself. Why did this have to happen. "Brett." She said and hugged him as se began to cry.

"He'll be alright." He whispers before they drove off. He wasn't exactly sure where they were going but he wasn't going to just wait for the police to find him. Where would she take him? How did she even get a hold of him? Who knew her that also had Bentley's trust?

 

[isax]

Ryan nodded and when they started driving around, she looked left and right trying to find her son. "Go to her house." She said and told Brett to stay in the truck. She got down and could have sworn she heard Bentley screaming. "Bentley!" Ryan yelled out but got no reply. It was a trap and it was working because Ryan was knocked out.

Brett didn't listen and dtayed where he couldn't be seen. When he saw her get knocked to the ground he ran for her and helped her up. Whoever knocked her out dare not touch him because if anyone didn't make it out alive he would have an issue. What she didn't know was that her son's screams weren't. Just a trap they were real. "Stay here." He whispers setting her in the truck. "Call the police." Rolling his sleeves up he went in with no other objective than to rescue a little boy who had no part in this ongoing feud. The house was filling with smoke causing the little boy to become distressed. Running towards the house Brett ran inside the now burning building and called out to Bentley. When he found him he ran for Bentley picking him up in his arms he held him close. "It's okay, you'll be okay. I'm here now." Brett began to cough but he found his way back our. It was clear Rebecca had every intention of leaving him alone to die. Carrying him out Brett handed him off gently to the paramedics for oxygen by other than that he had no real injuries, Brett on the other hand suffered burns from the sling roof but he didn't care Bentley was safe.

 

[isax]

When Ryan heard her son she got out of the truck and ran over to him. "Mama!" He said behind the oxygen mask. Ryan hugged him close as she cried and stroked his hair. "Shh. Mommys here. You're alright." Ryan said then went over to Brett and sighed as she saw his burns. "I'll get a paramedic to look at those. Thank you so much Brett." She whispered and hugged him close.

Brett winced at her touch but smiled when she pulled away. "Don't thank me." He whispers. Before he walked over to the paramedics himself. Because of how bad they were they forced him to go to the emergency room for them. He agreed abs when they arrived he started to feel the effects. The burning was almost unbearable but they gave him pain medication and made him stay over night.
