Can't stay away part 1 (EverestXSkye)

Chapter one: Dilemma's

Everest's Pov

Why?

So far, many things have been running through my mind. All of them bad things!

First, was that I had to stay home! Even if I wanted to go anywhere, I couldn't! It wasn't because I was sick, no. I was injured! It was really ridiculous how I even became injured in the first place.

It was a couple of days ago, I was snowboarding down the snowy mountain with my owner Jake. At first we snowboarded all the way to top, just so we could catch a ride on them ski lift things, to me they just look like benches, flying by wire.

We got on the ski lift, going all the way to the top of the mountain. I was so happy, my tail couldn't stop wagging! This was how my walks usually were, Snowboarding for hours. Going down the highest mountain.

Anyway, as we reached the mountain, we both jumped out of the ski lift. Watching it go back down. Then I watched Jake jump back on his snowboard, going down the slopes, dodging any rocks and anything that could put him off balance.

A few seconds later, I did the same - well I got on my board a different way. I picked up my board, holding it with my canines. Then I threw it towards the snow, watching it almost slide down. However before it could, I ran towards it, jumping on. I started snowboarding at a slow pace, just admiring the view. Until my board started going a little faster, as it reached a steep slope. I soon saw Jake, showing off his snowboarding skills.

I rolled my eyes and focused on where I was going. That was until he mentions: that we should have a race, we did. Racing all the way down the mountain. The finish line was at the bottom. At first I was winning, while Jake was far behind.

That was until I looked up, seeing a black board above me, then in front. I growled, as I saw him, now ahead of me. So I sped up! Moving my paw on the snow to make it go faster, suddenly I could see an even steeper hill.

My board suddenly went too fast, for me to even place my paw on the snow. 'Oh no!' I thought. As I was heading into these large rocks, luckily I didn't hit any of them. I felt a bead of sweat drip from my head. I was safe - well that was until, my board turned backwards. Now I couldn't see where I was going. Just then I saw Jake, still snowboarding. Until he saw me, then stopped, what he didn't realise that my board was out of control! I screamed as I went lower and lower towards the bottom.

Suddenly, my board turned once more. My heart was beating rapidly, as I saw what I heading straight into.

A large rock! Right in the middle of the snow. I closed my eyes, feeling myself topple over, as the board collided with the rock. Sending me flying in the air. When I opened my eyes, I could see birds flying right in front of me. I ended up slamming right into one, catching feathers in my mouth.

'Please, I don't want to die?!' I screamed in my mind, now falling right into a large pile of snow. What I didn't know, was a rock right under the snow. Sharply cutting my back paw and feeling a huge amount of pain in my other.

Luckily I survived! However I had badly broken my leg, so as soon as I came out hospital after one day, I had to stay at the cabin. It wasn't so bad, except for having to stay indoors all the time, not going on rescues! What if Ryder and the Paw Patrol need me? I can't help! Maybe one of the other pups could drive my slowplower. Well when it's fixed! The thing broke down for some reason.

Last, but not least was Jake also had to leave me, so I was alone..again! He had to leave for a family emergency. He said that his parents are gravely sick. So he had to go see them. My leg was getting better, but I was still unable to walk much. So he couldn't take me and his parents are not to keen on dogs. I understood, that's his family after all. I was always taught that having family is important. I don't remember my family, my parents or my siblings. I hardly had any memories of my past, that's why I don't tell anyone when they ask me.

Jake wouldn't leave me alone of course, so everyday Ryder and the pups came over, see how I'm doing and make sure I'm always fed. Even though if I'm hungry, I could just walk over - well try to, and press a button which dispenses food for me, but mostly Ryder does it when he gets here.

A day ago, just after Jake left Adventure bay. I got a visit from Ryder and the Paw patrol, not all the pups came except for two. One of them even helped fixing my snowplower. That pup was always handy, I started to think was there anything he couldn't do?

So that was two of my dilemma's, however there was one more. It was yesterday when it happened. The other pup that came with Ryder, was a pup that I knew more. A pup that became great friends with me, even seemed concerned for me, when I told her what happened. Although what made my heart race. Is when she asked Ryder, if she could stay with me, until Jake gets back. He immediately said yes. Leaving me with a third dilemma.

The reason being, I wasn't just great friends with her, she was also my crush!

It all started when she got lost in the storm a year ago. Me and another pup called Chase, set out to find her and bring her back to safety. Luckily we did, even though she stayed at the cabin for a few days, after a pup called Marshall - I think his name was, told her she had hurt her leg. Not like me, but it was sprained. As she stayed in the cabin. It also gave me a chance to get to know her a little. Also that's what made us good friends. However, as soon as I became friends with her, I also started to feel something different.

It happened on a few days later when she had finally recovered from spraining her leg. Meaning it was her last night she was staying with me and Jake. I decided to bring her to the forests, there was an open area, with no trees just grass and a hilltop with the moon in front. I thought she would like to see it before she leaves. As she was talking, I felt my eyes tear away from the illuminating object, instead gazing at the pup next to me. I saw how her fur looked so silky soft, how it was - sparkling. Like the moon was making each speckle of her fur look like glitter. I suddenly felt my heart race. Just then she turned around, and I caught her eyes trapped in mine. They were glowing!

Dark pink was never my favourite colour, I was always into turquoise. Despite that I was suddenly falling in love with it, I saw the beauty in the colour. While gazing into her eyes.

'They were beautiful,' I thought as I suddenly felt my muzzle grow hot. As I was caught up in a trance. Feeling a suddenly urge to touch her.

I began to reach out a paw. Until she suddenly pounced on me, knocking me to the ground. I felt my muzzle grow even more hot, as she leaned down, slightly nuzzling into my fur. Then laying a single lick down the side of my muzzle. As she said.

"Thank you Everest for showing me this, this view is breathtaking...also I really enjoyed spending time with you these few days!" I smiled, as she wrapped her paws around my neck, pulling me in an embrace.

"Y-you're welcome, S-Skye, it's just I thought you like to see this part of the forest before you leave. It's my favourite." I said, while wrapping my paws around her.

"I can see why, this part of the forest is really beautiful. I have never really seen the moon so big before...It's such a shame I can't see it everyday." I nodded my head in response.

"W-well whenever you come round next time, we could come here again...That is if you want?" I asked, while she buried her muzzle in the crook of my neck.

"I would like that very much Everest." She replied, nuzzling in my fur once more.

We stayed like that, for many minutes until she pulled away from the embrace, suddenly staring at me, I did as well, until a little yawn escaped from her lips.

"T-tired?" I asked, she nodded in response, now laying next to me. I rolled over, so now I was on my back. She yawned again before speaking.

"Hey Everest, mind if I snuggle with you?" I felt my heart race once again.

"S-sure," I stuttered, as she moved up closer. So now her muzzle was touching my cheek and her fur was in contact with mine.

"Thanks Eve." Eve? I've never been called that before.

"That's new, why did you call me that?" I asked.

"Because it's cute and it totally suits you...if you don't like it? I won't call you that." I immediately refused.

"N-no it fine Skye, I like it."

"Good, I'm happy." She said nuzzling into the side of my muzzle, then a laying a single lick. I was sure I was totally red now.

"H-hey Skye?" I asked, hearing no response, so I turned my head to face her, seeing her eyes closed, She was sleeping. I couldn't help but awe at how cute she looks. I took the risk, licking down the side of her muzzle. She didn't wake up. Instead she smiled leaning more into my fur. I felt the urge to lick her again. I leaned more more closer to the side of her muzzle, about to lay another lick. Until she spoke with a slight moan, saying a name that was not mine.

"Chase ~" I knew that pup, he was the one who helped find her, when she got lost in the storm. I remember talking to him, while Marshall took care of Skye. We didn't talk much, except he seemed to be so concerned for her. Them two seemed really close, maybe they were best friends? So why would she say his name like that? Did she like him? Did he like her? Why did I even care? Too much questions flooding in my mind, suddenly feeling my paw wet.

Huh? I looked up, it wasn't raining or snowing. So why was my paw wet? I felt more wet droplets fall. I soon realised they were coming from me, I was crying. Why would I cry? I looked at Skye once more, feeling my eyes stain with water. Okay why was I crying, whenever I see her face? Not to mention my heart was still racing. As I closed my eyes drifting off to sleep. Images of my friend in my mind. That night I dreamt of Skye.

I soon realised since then, that I liked her more then a friend, but what made it hard for me, was telling her. Every time I tried to speak the words, they would never come out. Instead I would end up saying something else, or even running away from her. Then I would silently bang my head on the ground for the rest of the night, until I get dizzy, then I would stop. Also another thing that was stopping me from telling her how I feel, was that she had a mate already. What made it even hard, was that it was a pup that lived with her, that I knew; and that was a male! How could I ever compete with that?!

So that's my dilemma, my worse one being that I'm in love with a pup who's my great friend, I'm too afraid to tell her how I feel and she's already got a mate. Which ends up making me feel even more heartbroken.

Great! I'm stuck with my crush for the weekend all alone. How am I going to manage that? How would I ever restrict from keeping my paws of her? When all I want to do is kiss her every time I see her, and feel her fur close to mine. I had to make sure I would not give into temptation!

All I need to do right now is keep my lust under wraps.
