Alli lead Java down the aisle and into one of the grooming stalls. The mare's heavy hooves clacked each time they hit the ground, and Alli's boots let out a subtle squeak that could hardly be heard. Everything seemed so empty, so quiet. Once Java was secured to the cross-ties, Alli grabbed a curry comb. With each circle caked on mud came off the mare and fell to the floor, leaving Alli with quite the mess to clean up.
She felt herself drifting away, becoming unaware of everything else. Alli was tired, and she felt like she wasn't really going anywhere. She loved her job, and her parents were very supportive of her, but she still didn't know about college or after that. She just needed someone to talk to, but her constant stable switching made it difficult to make good friends. She figured that next time she saw hope around she would ask if she wanted to go do something. One thing Alli really needed was variation. Her daily routine remained the same, even with schooling the lesson horses.
Alli's daze was interrupted by a soft nicker from Java. Alli smiled and handed the mare a treat, which she gobbled up happily. She grabbed a hard brush and brushed with a certain force, and Java tilted her head in pleasure. The mare's droopy lip made Alli giggle and she paused to give her a good scratch behind the ear. One thing she never had to worry about losing was Java. That mare had been with her since she was two. Alli had raised that mare to become the little beast she was today.
