12. "Come here, Gargoyle." I called with a giggle. Darrell was racing next to Gargoyle in the backyard. I was standing at the 'finish line' of their race. Gargoyle heard my call and went faster and beat Darrell. "Good job!" I said as I ruffled Gargoyle's head.

"He cheated," Darrell said with a gasp. "He went before you said go."

"I didn't say go, Darrell, you did." Darrell looked up at me from the grass. "Well you did." I added. He shook his head, disagreeing and I nodded. Gargoyle barked loudly and jumped over Darrell and ran into his house. Suddenly the sun that was up and shining had disappeared and was replaced by grey storm clouds and droplets of rain.

"Come on, Ami. Let's go inside." Darrell said as he grabbed my hand. We made it inside just in time. The rain suddenly began to poor and even caused thunder and lightning. "Gargoyle, come here boy!" Darrell called from the glass door. Gargoyle ran inside and shook the ran off his thick and fluffy coat.

The rest of that day we spent inside by the fire watching movies. We drank hot cocoa and did nothing important. My life seemed as perfect as it could get, and I had already forgotten about Michael, just like before. I never thought I would see him again, but was I mistaken?

**I hope you all enjoyed my story. I hope the ending was good. I will hopefully be making a part 2 to this story, but until then, happy reading!**
