I can't believe my dog just ran outside. He knows better than that; I ran after him though, following him into the dark woods, hoping he wouldn't go too far. The further I went in the less light I seen and the more noises I heard. It was a chilly night for March, but I had my jacket on, so I wasn't all that cold.
"Diamond!!" I yelled for my dog but I heard nothing in response. 'Ugh where did that dog of mine go!?' I thought to my self. I looked around me and kept noticing black shapes, but once I saw it, it just disappeared.' Come on Chloe, its just your imagination playing tricks on you, get a grip and find Diamond'.
I could barley see the full moon hidden behind the tree branches, but it gave off enough light so I could see where I was going. "Here boy!" I yelled again and finally heard a little noise that sounded like a whine. I ran toward it, only to be terrified by what I saw.
Diamond was on the ground and blood was pouring out of him. I ran to him and gathered him in my arms, saying 'everything would be okay'. Tears stung at my eyes until I gave up holding them back. I looked around and saw a black shadow by a tree coming toward me."Who are you?" my voice sounding very hoarse from the crying." My name is Christian, I'm so sorry about your dog, I didn't mean to.." His voice was like roses-sweet and nice. He walked closer so the moon was like a spotlight on his face. He was like an angel, high cheekbones, great hair and beautiful eyes. I felt embarrassed for staring so I looked away quickly, avoiding his eyes." What happened to my dog?" I asked Christian shyly." I must go now. I'm sorry for your loss. I hope to see you shortly." As he finished his sentence he reached down to grab my hand to kiss it, like a gentleman from the old days would. Than he was gone, just like that. I glanced around and everything was quiet, I grabbed Diamond tightly in my arms and ran the same way I came.
As soon as I spotted the house my legs buckled from underneath me, I thought I was gonna hit face first but strong hands held me up. I looked up to see Christian holding me in his arms."Long time, no see, Chloe". he said with a huge grin on his face. I looked away so he couldn't see my puffy, blood shot eyes from crying. I probably looked like a mess compared to his handsomeness. He used his thumb and tilted my face to look at him." Dont hide your face, my beauty, all will be fine." smiled Christian. He had the best looking smile I have ever seen, It made me have butterflies In my stomach, a feeling I've never had." Uhm.. h..hi.." I studdered. I felt like a dork, how miserable. I stared into his eyes and got lost in the bright- blue as the sky eyes. He saw me staring at him and I got shy and glanced away from him, feeling a pink color form on my cheeks; I knew I was blushing.
We stayed like that forever it seems, not moving not talking, Just listening to our breathing and the wind blowing around around us." I should get inside.. its getting late. Thank you for not letting me fall, Christian." I said to him grinning. I stood up, my dead dog still in my arms. He looked at me with a huge grin on his face, grabbing my hand again, to kiss it like before."Until next time, Chloe." and just like that he left, my eyes searching everywhere but never landing back on him, because he was gone.
I walked into my house and my mom came running to me after she got a good look at my clothes and my dog."Oh my, sweetie what happened?" my mom was saying as she checked to make sure I wasn't hurt from the blood on my shirt. I looked down at the dogs lifeless body and felt the hot tears running down once more." I.. I d-don't know, mama. I f-found him in the w-woods like t-this." I answered, my voice shaking. She ran to the kitchen and grabbed a sack. I didn't want to let diamond go, but I knew I had to. I cried harder as I put him in the sack." Baby, go change out of those clothes and take a shower, I will handle this. A proper burial." My mom looked like she was holding back tears, but I didn't blame her.
I sobbed my way up the my bathroom, Stripped from my clothes and threw them in the waste bucket, not wanting to see them again. I turned the shower to scorching hot and I jumped in, not feeling the heat at all, my body was so numb. I sat with my back to the water falling down with my head on my knees, balling my eyes out.
I don't know how long I was in there for, but I wasn't ready to get out, not yet atleast. After I didn't have any tears left, I decided it was time to get out and go to bed. I reached around me to turn the knob off and I tried to stand up, but I couldn't get my legs to work, they felt like jello. There was no way I was getting out anytime soon. I looked around and saw my clock hanging on the wall. 2:36.'Great! How long was I in here?' I yelled for my mom but I guess she couldn't hear me. I got tired of yelling and just sat back and closed my eyes. when I was almost asleep I heard a knock on the door, I reached over quickly and grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me. The door opened and my jaw dropped."Christian?" I looked up at him and was mesmerized by his looks. This was the first time I actually got a good look at him. He was light skinned with bright blue eyes, his dark brown hair was in that messy way that made it look like he ran his hands through it too many times, he looked gorgeous. "What are you doing here?" I finally asked, after I gave him a once over. He was just standing with the door ajar like it was no big deal. "I heard you yelling for your mom and I noticed she wasn't coming up, so I went to come check on you, are you okay?" If my brain was working right I nay have said something like 'Oh yeah peachy, I'm just sitting in the tub with no water in it for nothing' but since my brain wasn't working right I managed to say, "Umm well my legs uh won't work, and I can't get out...". That had to be the stupidest remark that has ever came out of my mouth. 'I'm so stupid sometimes!' I thought to myself. I look up at Christian to see him smirking a little. 'I honestly didn't think this was funny.. just embarrassing.Why did this Greek God make my brain shut off and make me sound unsmart'? "Here let me help you up." He suggested. Once again I was embarrassed, I only had a towel on, for Gods sake! 'I'm going to die from embarrassment, in a freaking towel at that!' I seen him reaching down for me so I wrapped my hand around his neck as he grabbed my legs and back to lift me up. I was so close to his chest I could feel his muscles underneath the shirt ripple. 'He's picking me up like I weighed nothing'!
He walked gently toward my bed where he laid me down and stood back a step. "Umm.. thank you for that, I appreciate it a lot. Do you mind handing me my robe over there?" I asked pointing to the end of my bed, where it laid on my bed post. My robe was lime green, my favorite color, I just bought it the other day and have yet to use it. He handed it to me and turned around, waiting for me to put it on. 'Gosh! He is such a gentleman.' I cleared my throat to get his attention and he turned back around.
"How did you get in my room?" I asked sleeply, as look around my second story room and noticed the window was open, but I didnt remember opening it.
"Your window was opened so I climbed on up, I hope you dont mind." He said sheepishly. He looked around my room nervously, not making eye contact with me. I seen him staring at a picture frame that was on my desk.
"That's me and my father, he passed away a couple of years ago from a car accident." I said sadly, trying not to remember that unfortunate time. But as hard as I tried to keep the memory away, it crept up anyway.
'Hey dad can we go get ice cream?' My sixteen year old self asked. Me and my dad always get ice cream after I pass my tests at school, so today was no different.
"Yes sweetie, we can go get ice cream, you worked really hard on passing that test." Replied my dad, giving me a proud smile.
It was a routine that we always did, and it made me want to pass more of my test that much more, that's why I'm a straight A student.
My dad grabbed his keys and his jacket and we went out the front door for his car. It started to rain once we reached the car doors so we hurried up and shut the doors to get out of the pouring rain. Its been raining on and off for a couple of days now and I'm getting sick and tired of it. Once we were buckled in he started to back out of the driveway.
The ice cream shop was only about ten miles away so it wasn't that far. I reached over and turned the volume up on the radio and instantly started to dancing to one of my favorite songs from P!nk. My dad looked over at me and started laughing, and I just kept on dancing. The car hit a big puddle and we hydroplaned into the other side of the road where incoming cars were coming. "Hold on!" My dad screamed at me, trying to control the steering wheel. I grabbed onto my seat belt and the bar on the roof. The car skidded to a stop on the wrong side of the road and a car was coming towards, I knew the other car didn't have time to slow down, and if he did then he still would have slid into us. "Daddy!" I screamed right as soon as the car plowed into us on my fathers side, pushing our car further into the road, making us roll three times until we stopped. Our car was upside, I looked over at my dad and he was just hanging there, the seatbelt the only thing keeping him up. I screamed and cried until my throat couldn't handle anymore. I heard sirens in the distance, so I reached over to my dads arm and starting shaking it. "Daddy, daddy wake up! The cops are coming, you gotta wake up!" I cried, but he didn't move, he didn't even make a sound. I started freaking out and that's when the cops showed up, hollering and barking orders. I looked out of my crushed window and seen a cop there, saying everything was going to be okay, I didn't believe him for a minute. The officer told me to hold on while he cut my seat belt loose. Once it was cut, gravity wanted me to fall but I held on until the officer helped me out of the car. He layes me on the ground while a paramedic checked me out. Another officer was helping my dad out and another was getting the guy that had hit us on accident. When the paramedic deemed me okay except for some scratches and cuts I ran over to where they had my father on the ground, I was almost there when the officer that got me out of the car grabbed me and held be back. "You can't go over their ma'am, I dont think you should see that." I started screaming again and going hysterical. "He's my father, you have to let me see him! You have to!" By then my eyes were so wet with tears that I couldn't see in front of me, my legs went weak and if it wasn't for the cop behind me I would have scraped my knees on the road. I'm not sure how long I sat there crying, until my mom showed up and hugged me so tight while walking me to her car, I glanced at her face and seen that she was crying just as much as me. "Were going to be fine honey, everything will be fine." I looked behind me and seen the paramedic zip up a body bag with my dad in it. "Why are they zipping him in a bag mom? He just needs to go to the hospital! He's fine, he'll be fine!" I tried running over to my dad but my mom held me back. "Honey, your father didn't make it. We gotta go to the hospital to get you check out."
"Chloe?" I snapped out of the memory and realized Christian was staring at me. I felt liquid on my face, and started to wipe the evidents of my crying off my face. "You okay, chloe?" He asked, coming to sit on the end of the bed, facing me. He look so concerned, and I couldn't figure out why. We just met a couple of hours ago, it wasn't like he knew me for years.
