Watch the video after reading the first paragraph!

We set off into the forest. The bags on our backs jiggling as we trotted. All I could think of as we rode into the woods was the song from the movie 'into the woods'.
Now watch the video. Skip to a minute 4 mins 15 secs. It's the song into the woods!

I had lessons from Thomas every day from Monday to Saturday and then on Sunday I helped him with chores around the farm. After three weeks of riding I was beginning to get the hang of it. Even though I had fallen off a couple of time Thomas was just so sweat and helped my up. "You have to fall off more than once to call yourself a rider." He would say.
All those years I had been lost but now I have found myself.
While we rode we talked about horses and our futures. Thomas says he wants to work with professional eventer, maybe even become one himself. I still wasn't sure what I wanted to do but I knew I wanted to work with horses. After talking about horses I asked Thomas were we would sleep but he didn't say anything. He said it was a surprise and I had to wait and see. "We will be at our first stop soon. I'm guessing 100m left to go." Thomas said.
We started to slow down from a canter to a steady trot then finally a walk. I could here a loud rush of water and the songs from the birds. It was beautiful here. "So do you like it?" He asked.
"Do I like it? I love it!" I exclaimed. "How did you find this place?" I ask.
"Well I just found it one day while riding and I thought it would be fun for you to come back with me. That's why I told you to bring your togs. So we can go swimming." He says. (For those who don't know togs are a wet suit or what ever you call them.)
We jump off our horses and tie them to the tree. We give them some water and then they decide to doze off. Whilst Thomas looked for a good spot in the lake to swim I went to put on my togs. I hid behind the trees so Thomas didn't see me because that would just be really awkward.
By the time I got back Thomas had found a safe spot to swim and had already got changed. He wore his blue swim shorts with no shirt. I found hi. Staring at me. I blushed and jumped into the water, splashing Thomas so that he was wet. He jumped into the lake after me grabbing me so he can splash me back. We continue splashing at each other for a while until Thomas jumped out of the lake. "Where are you going?" I ask.
"To the top of that rock so I can jump off." He says pointing to a rock.
I chase after him. Once he reaches the top he grabs my hand and pulls me up. It wasn't until I reached the top that I realised how dangerous this was. "Please don't jump. You could hurt yourself badly." I plead but he doesn't listen to me.
"I'll be alright, don't worry." He reassures me. He walks to the edge of the rock and I hold my breathe. He places his back foot behind him and leans forward. I feel my heart beating at loud as a drum. As Thomas leaps off the rock I run to the edge to watch him. But he had already hit the water by the time I got to the edge. He was nowhere to be seen. I was freaking out. Wait! I see him. He's laying in the water on his stomach not moving. I start to hyper ventilating. Is he ok. I jump into the water from the rock. I reach him and...
