New Life with Apples and Love

“It’s cold…” I say as I feel cold darkness around me. “Where am i?”

“Beep… Beep… Beep…” that sound I heard sounds so familiar like I know it from somewhere. I open my eyes as I see a light hanging above me. My eyes focus as I see a heart monitor beside me showing a heartbeat but I don’t know whose heart beat it is yet.

“Scott?” my ears perk as I hear my name from across the room looking over to see Applejack and Applebloom.

“Applejack?” is all I could muster before seeing darkness again.

I wake up again to find something warm on my chest as I come to. I look to see a doctor applying a warm compress to my chest feeling soothing to my tense muscles. “There you go sir this will ease the tension in your chest and allow you to recover faster.” The nurse said as she applied the last bit of warm compresses to my legs and body.

“Applejack? What happened to me?” I said still weak and tired from before.

“You bucked three quarters of the orchard Scott and really saved our farm” Applejack said putting her hat on her chest feeling sorry for earlier. “Ah’m sorry you had to do that. Mac was just worried about the farm it didn’t mean you had to do our jobs for us.”

“I didn’t do it for you I did it for myself. I wanted to prove my worth.” I said barely able to stay awake when the door opened and the red stallion who I wanted to impress to begin with walked in.

“Whut were you thinkin’?!!!” Mac bellowed as he glared at me with eyes full of anger and accent thicker than ever.

“I was making sure I didn’t get in your way Mac. After all I’m a hazard and even you know I did three quarters of the orchard.

“THREE QUARTERS DON’T MEAN ANYTHING YOU BUCKING IDIOT!! LOOK AT YOURSELF YOUR NEAR ABOUT USELESS EVEN MORE THAN YOU WERE BEFORE!!” Mac ran out of the room as he finished the last sentence.

I cried for once I cried harder than I ever cried before. Mac still wasn’t happy and still hated me. Apple Jack walked towards me about to say something. “No Applejack just please leave me alone!!! Leave me be Applejack I don’t want to talk to any of you right now!!!” She left not saying a word after I told her to leave.

Two days passed in the hospital and all I could think about was how I failed, and how even when I try my hardest I still fail. I looked out of the window to my room and decided to start a journal.

Day three in the hospital.

Dear journal my time in Ponyville has taught me that even if you try you can still be hated. Mac, the pony I first met after being accepted into the apple family home, had captured my desire to do well in my newly gained life. His eyes were so fascinating how no matter how angry he was there was something in his eyes that caught my attention. Those green eyes showed love and happiness but also despair at the same time. Even I couldn’t stay mad at those eyes. I don’t know if I’m crazy or just pure insane but it’s like every time I’m around him I want to just stay next to him and be there with him. I like him a lot but then everything I do to impress him only makes him hate me more. He said to me two days ago I was useless even more now. It’s true I’m in the hospital recovering but I’m still the same pony with determination… I mean once I heal I’ll be fine right? The doc says tomorrow I will be free to leave so I just want to go to sweet apple acres pack my bags and leave. I hope I can find someone who could use a pony who will work for a place to stay.

Sincerely,
Scott

Finally the day came when I was released. “Alright Mr. Scott you are free to go just sign here and here and we will let you go.” The nurse said as she handed me the pen and paperwork.

“Thanks for getting me all healed up Nurse Red heart. I just hope I don’t come back anytime soon.” I said as I walked out of the front doors.

I walked down towards the farm hanging my head low trying not to cry as I passed the already bucked apple trees. I finally got to the porch and opened the door slowly walking in. There was a note on the table saying Applejack, Granny, and Applebloom were in town selling apples and Mac was out in the fields on the south field behind the house. The only field I didn’t buck.

I walked up to my room and opened the door seeing something I never saw before. There on my bed was Macintosh crying while holding a small doll with polka-dotted pants and a yarn mane. I walked up and stood in front of the stallion as he cried. Something just clicked to me as I raised my hoof to his tears.

“I’m sorry Mac, I didn’t want you to worry about the farm and me bringing the farm into ruin.” I said as he looked up.

“No ah’m sorry for yelling at you earlier you had every right to be mad at me. I was afraid when ah found you in the field that I was responsible for everything I caused. Ah’ve been the one hurting your feelins’ and making you buck almost the entire orchard by yourself. Ah even thought on the way to the hospital it won’t my fault, all because it was your choice and now you still weren’t gonna be able to help, and the farm would still be in jeopardy. Ah was wrong Scott and all ah did was hurt you.” The stallion cried harder as I just watched.

A stallion who I thought was a brick wall was pouring his feelings out and telling me all that happened was his fault.

“Mac, please don’t cry anymore. I still am partially to blame. I have been keeping a secret from you and it’s what has been fueling me to do all this crazy stuff I just hope it doesn’t hurt you.” I paused after what I said so far so that I could get his attention. “I have feelings for you Mac and it all started the day we met.”

The stallion stayed quiet as I decided to get my things together and get ready to leave. I put everything in my bag but I through the one page journal into the trash can as I walked out of the room. I finally walked outside as I looked back at the house staring at the front door one last time.

“Goodbye Mac sorry I cause so much trouble.” I said as I walked down the path towards Ponyville.
