Stevie's POV
I walk into the band room to see Zander on the phone with a frown on his face.
"Mom why didn't you tell me!" I hear him yell into the pone, "Well I'll see you later." He says hanging up then putting his face in his hands and I think I can hear him crying. Which was very rare for him
"Zander?" I ask softly walking into sight.
"Oh Stevie." he says weakley.
"What's wrong love?" I say half joking, trying to lighten the mood.
"It's Lady." He says picking his head up. I freeze, oh no what was wrong with Zander's dog?
"Oh no what happened?" I ask as I pat my shoulder. He sighs and puts his head on my shoulder and takes my hand fumbling with my fingers.
"She has to be put down this afternoon and my parents didn't even tell me until now." he whispers. When he finishes it breaks my heart seeing him so broken.
"What time?" I ask
"Six." He says
"Can I go with you?" I ask
"Really you'd go with me?" he asks
"Of course." I answer, running my fingers through his hair.
"Thanks."
Later at six….
Stevie's POV
We were sitting in the waiting room at the Vet when they called us in.
"Mr. Robbins we are ready for you." Says the Vet, as we stand to get up, "Oh, miss its family only." She says referring to me.
"Oh but-" Zander starts; probably going to say something like she's my friend, which I knew wouldn't get me in.
"Uh, I'm his girlfriend." I lie clinging to his arm.
"Okay, that's fine then." She says motioning for us to go into the room.
"Girlfriend?" he whispers in my ear.
"Just go with it." I whisper back.
We walk into the room and see Lady lying on the veterinarian table.
"I'll give you two sometime before we start the process." Says the vet, exiting.
"Oh my god." He says walking up and petting Lady.
"Are you going to be okay?" I ask coming up behind him.
"I don't know but I don't want her to suffer anymore." He says with a weak smile, "I love you Lady."
"Hi Lady." I say petting her stomach and she gave me a little bark.
Zander smiles as the Vet comes back in.
"Ready?" she ask. Zander just nods she explained that it wouldn't hurt her it was just one shot. Zander grabs my hand and she injects the needle, and I pull him in for a hug. Finally, we leave an hour later.
"I know it's sad but I think she's in a better place." Says Zander with a smile.
Two and a half months later…. (Still Stevie's POV)
"Zander I have a surprise for you!" I say walking into the band room.
"What?" he asks getting up.
"Come on!" I say gesturing him to follow me to my car. I hand him a small crate and he looks at me confused. He opens it and a small Jack Russell runs out of it and into his arms.
"Stevie?" he asks.
"She's yours." I confirm, "I know she won't make up for Lady but I figured you could use another bundle of joy…and hyperness." I smile
"Stevie, that's the nicest thing anyone's ever done for me." he says putting the dog down and closing the crate and putting it in his car, "Thank you!"
"No problem." I smile
"Stevie, I have to tell you something." He asks, quietly. Which was weird for Zander Robbins.
"Yeah what's up?"
"Remember when we went to the Vet and you pretended to be my girlfriend?" he asks, looking up.
"Yeah." I say smiling
"I would kinda like if you didn't pretend to be…" he trails off.
"Really?" I ask in shock. He just nods in response.
"I'd like that too." I say, gently pulling on the collar of his flannel and bringing his lips down to mine and kissing him.
"Ready to go girlfriend." He says grinning.
"Yeah boyfriend." I say back, gently pushing him.
