[At The Lookout]
Everest's eyes shot open, she was panting and sweating. She looked around her puphouse and made sure she was back in reality.
"Damn it...they won't stop!" Everest yelled in frustration. It was her first night at the lookout and her nightmares still kept interrupting her sleep. She sighed and gave up on sleeping and got out of her pup house. She looked up and the moon was full, giving off it's full light.
With that Everest began walking over to the pup park. She sat right in the middle of it, a cool breeze moving across it. She was fed up with it all. She looked up towards the sky.
"I just wish you were here," Everest said. She closed her eyes and began to sing.
(Song is "Don't Let Me Go - By Raign, if you want to follow along)
I'm watching myself
Drifting away
A vision so darkened
I cannot stay
I'm reaching out wide
Trying to catch myself before I fall
Too little too late
Can you save me
Where do we go when we walk on light
Who do we call at the edge of night
Carry me close like the teardrops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I'll never leave
I'll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won't let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
So let me freeze time
Before it turns cold
The moments go by
And life goes on
The torturous stars
Are taking every breath I wish I held
The love in my heart
Is never ending
Where do we go when we walk on light
Who do we call at the edge of night
Carry me close like the teardrops in your eyes
All I can give you is memories
Carry them with you and I'll never leave
I'll lay my head down
But when I lay my head down
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won't let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
You can't see me
But you still feel me
I only live in your memories
I mean something
Your everything
You lay me down
Take me there
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
I won't let go
Forever is not enough
Let me lay my head down on the shadow by your side
Don't let me go
Hold me in your beating heart
Everest panted after pouring out her voice. She closed her eyes once more.
"I just miss you all so much," Everest whispered, a tear sliding down her cheek.
"You sing really well," Everest jumped and spun around to see Chase smiling at her.
"You heard it all?" She asked, stepping closer to Chase. Chase stepped closer until their noses gently collided. Everest blushed and start to look away.
"We'll make it through this," Chase spoke softly. He lift his paw and wiped the tear from her face.
"We?" Everest asked.
"You won't make it through this alone...I'm here for you...we're all here for you," Chase said.
"I know...it's just hard," Everest whimpered.
"It'll be alright," Chase said. He gave her a friendly lick on the cheek. Everest blushed hard and pulled him into a kiss. She pulled away and stared at him.
"I was lost without you Chase," Everest said with a small smile. He leaned in and gave her another quick kiss.
"You should get some sleep," Chase said," You can sleep with me if you want."
"Sure...I didn't want to stay alone all night," Everest said.
Chase led Everest back to his pup house. He made room for her to lay next to him. He laid next to her once she found a spot to lay down.
"Do you think things will get better," Chase asked her.
"I don't know," Everest replied. She sighed and closed her eyes. Chase saw this and gently kissed her on her cheek before going to sleep himself.
