Hearts Lost At the Rodeo

HEARTS LOST AT THE RODEO

On a cold and stormy night on the outskirts of town in a small but beautiful house there was an argument brewing. Maegan and Dustin were auguring on whither he should bullride in Wyoming. They had said some very cruel words to each other and Maegan had become so angry that she said “she never wanted to see him again and that the wedding was off and to get out.” He had left for Cheyenne, Wyoming for his final ride of the season and for the final ride of is life.
Maegan had sat down and thought about the cruel words she had said to Dustin and decided to go after him. She packed hurridley and followed him to Wyoming.
Dustin was also saddened by the fight they had and when he reached Wyoming he tried to call Maegan. The phone ring which seemed like forever and when no one answered he left a message telling her that she would be the only one he would love and if she would give him a second chance he would come home and leave her no more.
It was the final rodeo for the championship of the top ten riders and Dustin was in 1st place.
Back in the riders room the cowboys were drawing which bull they would be go up against. Dustin had chosen the unbeatable Tornado. People would tell him that Tornado has never been ridden and that he has killed 3 cowboys that had rode him and injured others.
About two hours before the last part of the rodeo was going to start Maegan had arrived in Cheyenne. She figured that she would find him by the arena and she quickly found her seat in the front row.
As people started to fill in around her she watched for Dustin but she could not see him. When the bull riding started two men lost time because they had grabbed their rope with there spare hand. Four cowboys had no time because they did not make it through the 8 seconds to score. There were four cowboys left to ride.
The final rides were quick and the score for one was a 78.8, another scored 88.5 then the second to last score 95.6, which would be the time to beat.
The announcer called out Dustin’s name as he settled himself on Tornado. Dustin tipped his head to tell he was ready. As the gate was flung open Tornado burst out with a great leap into the air. Tornado twisted and turned this way and that but Dustin stayed on as the seconds slowly passed by. Just as the buzzer rang Tornado took all the strength he had and jumped into the air once more sending Dustin effortlessly upward and as he was coming back down one of Tornado’s horn nailed him in the back. Tornado threw him back into the air and as he hit the ground he turned and trampled his rider into the ground. Tornado then focused on the clowns, which had tried so hard, without any luck, to drive his attention from the Dustin.
Maegan, who was no longer in her seat, began pushing and shoving people out of the way not even waiting for the gate to open.
With tears streaming from her eyes and down her cheeks she slide next to him and carefully lifted up his head. Meagan said that she loved him and that she was sorry for what she had said and that he would be alright. When Maegan was saying this he died in her arms. While she sat there crying and holding him the medics came and told her to let go but she told them to leave her alone. They grabbed her and as she struggled to hold on to him they carried him off.
They had sent her home to California. As She walk in she had slipped and pushed the answering machine his voice came on saying that he loved her. As she heard his voice she stopped the machine and run out of the house and disappeared into the night.
About a week later Dustin and Maegan’s families meet at the small house in California and started packing up his buckles and saddles and gave and ship his and her things. She never return to the little house and some people say that they see her out walking the beach and they also say that she looks like she lost in the memory of him and that she will never come out of that memory she had.
