Chapter seven
Am I dreaming?
'I swear Chase and Marshall are inseparable
Those two never seem to keep their paws off each other. I remember yesterday, they were so close and it was like they were in their own world, even when I was talking to them. I lost count of the many times I had let out little growls of frustration. Sometimes they wouldn't even hear me. How I would love nothing more then to smack their heads together, so they can finally snap out of whatever day dream they were in.
At first I was told so many times to go back to bed, but I didn't want to sleep any more, besides I was feeling much better. So I ended up staying with them in the lounge for the whole night. I got to know so much more about them. Chase and Marshall even managed to keep my mind off Skye. We talked so much, it felt like I had two new best friends - well I already saw Marshall as my best friend, but I wouldn't of known Chase would be too.
I smiled, whenever I saw Chase occasionally lick Marshall on the side of his muzzle or lightly nibble on his ear. However I still felt a sudden loneliness. I laid down on the couch, using my front paws as a pillow. I looked up seeing an orange glow outside. 'I wondered how long I've been awake for?' I looked back at my two friends on the other couch, while slightly giggling, there was a small tear dropping down from my eye. I turned away, trying to close my eyes. Although I couldn't sleep, I just wanted to pretend I'm away from the world. However I was soon pulled out of my thoughts by a small voice.
"Hey Everest, you okay?" I heard Marshall say - well trying to, as Chase kept on licking up and down his neck. I didn't even notice Marshall's collar come off.
"Yeah I'm fine...just I'm missing some pup that's all." I faked a smile. Then another giggle as Marshall tried to lightly push Chase off him. This was going on for what seemed like hours. When Chase finally gave up lying
back on the couch, now with a little pout on his muzzle. He turned away from his soon to be mate, looking slightly disappointed. His expression soon changed to surprised when Marshall licked down the side of his muzzle, then softly whispering in his ear.
"I'll make it up to you tomorrow," I let out a giggle as Chase's muzzle went completely red. A question suddenly popped in my mind.
'I wonder if Marshall knows Chase is not with Skye any more?' I forgot to ask him that. Maybe the pup wouldn't even answer me. Maybe Marshall does already know? After all the Dalmatian doesn't seem to mind when Chase would show a little too much affection towards his best friend. I must be thinking too much.
Even though I finally got my chance when Marshall went to the kitchen. Chase was still pouting, his eyes were closed. I knew he wasn't sleeping because as I spoke his ears perked up.
"Chase, does Marshall know you're not with Skye any more?" For a second, I thought the pup was ignoring me. That's when I huffed in frustration, throwing a small pillow at him, catching him on the nose. He sat up rubbing it, before speaking.
"You act like her, females get angry so quick." I growled in annoyance. As I muttered something under my breath. "What was that?" I heard him say, with a slight growl.
"Oh nothing, it's just I thought I asked you something?" He growled again.
"You never stop do you? Fine, if you want to know so badly. Then no, Marshall doesn't know. I never told him...I want to tell him everything tomorrow." I nodded my head in response, slightly tilting it in confusion.
"You mean today in case you didn't know, it's nearly morning?" He stood on his hind legs, looking outside the window. Just as Marshall returned from the kitchen carrying a treat in his canines, only to drop it as soon as he saw Chase standing up. I laughed, as the Dalmatian turned a light shade of pink, not to mention slightly drooling. He was suddenly in a trance, just as Chase laid back down on the couch. He tilted his head in confusion now looking down at his very zoned out best friend.
"Hey Marshall, you okay buddy? You seem to be looking a little red." The Dalmatian quickly shook his head, returning back to normal.
"C-Chase why were you standing up just now?" The German Shepherd instantly pointed at me.
"Everest said that it's nearly morning, so I wanted to check." Marshall, still looked zoned out. Chase grinned, placing his front paws on the edge of the couch. "Why? Did you see something you like?" It was like the pup was under a spell as he unexpectedly nodded in response. Chase grinned more tapping the edge of the couch, Which Marshall jumped back on. Once again, these two were in their own little world.
Even though these two were too absorbed in love and - what looks like desire, they kept me company and my thoughts off the one pup that was stuck in mind. I knew it was morning and soon these two will be going. I wish they could stay for the day, I mean until Jake gets back. I wondered.
"Do you guys have to go today?" They both turned to face me, then at each other. Maybe I should take back what I said, after all today was when Chase would finally confess his feelings. After all, I wanted them to be happy. Marshall already seems so happy whenever Chase is affectionate. I remember hours ago he told me even if he feels Chase is toying with his feelings, whenever he teases him. Marshall doesn't mind, he lets it happen, at least he gets to be close to Chase that way, after all he loves him. After so many minutes of looking at me they finally spoke.
"I guess staying one day won't be so bad, what about you Chase do you want to stay?" I felt his eyes staring daggers at me. I gulped, it was a big mistake asking them, before Chase could speak I did.
"Y-you two don't have to if you don't want?" I felt the eyes as sharp as blades go away.
"I'm sorry Everest, but me and Marshall have got some things to do later on today," I completely understood what that meant, however Marshall had no idea.
"What do you mean Chase, what things have we got?" I saw the German Shepherd grin, reaching his muzzle next to Marshall's ear.
"It's a surprise so you're just going to have to see." I smiled once again, when Marshall turned his head around accidentally bumping Chase on the nose. Before the Dalmatian could pull away, Chase took a quick lick going across Marshall's lips. Leaving him in yet another trance.
I felt a sudden wet sensation drip down my muzzle, I turned away so they couldn't see me cry. I thought all the tears would of dried up by now? I guess not! My heart also had this strange feeling, like a thousand knifes are stabbing at it. This has been happening ever since Skye left. All I do is look at the door and wish she could come back.
I was too tired to even think as I lightly closed my eyes, I took one last look back at my two friends, curled up together. Now falling asleep too. As I slept I had an dream, a dream that was somehow torturing me. Every time when I would wake up, I would still be crying. 'I wish for one day, I don't think about Skye.'
I try to think of something else and it goes back to her. Those glowing fuchsia eyes more beautiful then the world has even seen. Every time I look at them, I immediately get hypnotised. Or them long shaggy ears which I love, as they go up and down when she's running. Her voice is so soft, like sweet music to my ears, something else I love about her, something which suddenly made my muzzle instantly flushed. Another thing about her voice is when she uses a different tone, a much lower, almost as if she's whispering. I like calling that her 'Seductive voice' she seems to use it to get what she wants, not to mention the little pout and very erotic growling. It's like I'll submit to her every word.
Another tear somehow fell out of my eyes, I reached a paw to dry it away, I realised that I was so stupid I almost got caught in her trap again. I realised that love is blind, love is also out of control. Was I so stupid to let her go?
I remember a saying that I heard once I think it goes a little something like this: 'If you love her, you got to let her go.' I didn't even understand what it meant until I fell in love with Skye, but still she may not be with me right now and I hate waiting, but she will always hold my heart. I can't let go, not when I know I still have a chance. Especially that dream. That one unexpected day, Skye shows up at the cabin, as I open the door. She runs up to me pushing me down to the floor, before crashing her lips on mine. Once she pulls away, she softly whispers in that sweet seductive voice of hers.
"Don't ever leave me." Then the dream will end, I would wake up, banging my head on the ground for many minutes. Then I would feel the tears fall down my muzzle.
'I wonder how long heartbreak normally lasts for?' I don't exactly have a pup to ask as all the pups I know are wrapped up in 'puppy love' except for Skye and Rubble. Although I don't think he's ever fallen in love.
Soon by the afternoon, I realised I had no sleep. As the two pups woke up, lightly shaking me.
I opened my eyes, letting out a little yawn. I smiled looking down at my two friends.
"Why did you guys wake me up so early?" I saw them both look at each other, then at me.
"Well Everest, me and Chase are going now. We just wanted to tell you." I didn't even realise how fast time went. Not to mention I was going to be alone. I didn't want that. I didn't want to cry any more, for one day I didn't want to think about Skye. I had an idea to make them stay, I hoped it would work. I know that after this, Chase is so going to kill me. I won't keep them that long.
"Okay, hey guys before you go can you please get me a bowl of water, I'm really thirsty?" They both nodded in response, as Marshall ran straight to the kitchen, Chase following behind. Once they were gone. I put my plan into action. I pushed my body to the edge of the couch, I knew this was going to hurt, but it was the only way. Once I was close enough so there was no more space. I forcefully pushed my body off the couch, landing straight on my back. I was right it did hurt a lot, so much it made me howl out in pain.
Marshall was the first who saw me, he quickly ran up to me saying. "Oh my god, Everest are you okay, how on earth did you fall." I didn't feel that much pain any more, however I pretended I did, I threw my paw up over my head.
"I-I don't think so," I said in a softer tone. "I think I've hurt my paw again. I reached one my front paws over to him so he could inspect it. Every time he touch a part of my paw, I faked a 'yelp' of pain. He stood up, walking back.
"Can you stand?" I shook my head in response. He huffed in confusion. "Okay, what about if you climb on my back and I'll take you to Jake's room?" I nodded in response.
'Once I'm in Jake's room, they're going to leave me.
I obeyed, slowly climbing onto Marshall's back, before he carefully walked me back to Jake's room, before going in he shouted out.
"Hey Chase, mind getting Everest some food as well." The German Shepherd immediately walked out carrying a sliver bowl filled with water, while tilting his head in confusion, before dropping the bowl, with a little growl he ran back into the kitchen. Marshall shook his head, walking into the room, lightly placing me on the bed. I watched him wrap the blankets over me with his teeth, then he walked back out. I watched him go thinking that my plan was failing. I jumped out of bed, looking for something that will make them stay. Then I found a small brown bottle under Jake's bed. I was curious, as to what it is. I opened the bottle sniffing the brown liquid inside. I felt a sudden urge to drink it. After all, I was thirsty and these two pups were taking forever with my food. 'Seriously how long does is take to pour water and a can of food into a bowl?' I shook my head, sniffing the bottle once more, before tasting a little bit with my tongue. I instantly pulled away, spitting the liquid out, while some of it I swallowed. I tried to spit the taste out. It had a dull taste, slightly tingly. Although I hated the taste, I wanted more as I took quick little licks at the drink. I didn't even realise the bottle was almost half full or that I heard paw prints walk closer. I left the bottle and crept into bed, now feeling a little dizzy.
In seconds I heard the door open, Chase still had that little pout on his muzzle, while Marshall looked happy. I watched them bring the bowls over, I bent over taking little licks at the water, then I began eating the food. I still felt a type of dizziness after eating. I was also feeling a little happy, like I had no cares in the world. Many unusual questions popped up in my mind. I looked back at my two friends. A smirk passed through my lips, as I asked my first question.
"What does mating feel like?" I laughed, as they both went completely red. I saw Chase grin.
"Like you wouldn't know, didn't you do the same with Skye?" I nodded in response.
"Yeah, but females do it a different way to males. So what did it feel like when you two did it?" This time Marshall spoke, while Chase lowered his head, letting out a little growl.
"E-Everest, why you asking us this sort of question?" I smiled, placing a paw to his muzzle.
"Because I want to know if it was meaningful." They once again, both looked at each other, then back at me. I laughed once more. What was I even saying, these questions are way to personal. Why was my brain not
responding the way I want? I faced them, none of them were talking. "What's wrong, cat got your tongue?" I laughed again, accidentally slapping Chase on the paw, which he pulled back. Then I noticed him look at the end of the bed. I almost didn't hear him, as I fell back, feeling the softness of the covers with my paws. I saw Marshall stare at me in shock.
"Everest, did you drink this at all?" I looked over, seeing Chase holding the same brown bottle. I lifted my paw up.
"Maybe, why, what is it anyway?" Chase slapped a paw to his muzzle.
"This is something pups shouldn't drink! This is alcohol." What's that? Wait didn't he drink it once?
"It doesn't seem so bad, in fact you can't bark you drank it once as well." He slapped his paw to his muzzle once again.
"Yeah by accident, you drank this deliberately!" I didn't understand what he was talking about any more. I turned over, facing Marshall, who seemed to be slightly down.
"You okay Marshie, you seem sad?" He looked up, lighting shaking his head. Catching him off guard I wrapped my paws around him, pulling him into an embrace. I faced Chase once more.
"Would you have the guts to mate with Marshall, if you didn't drink? I think drinking that...whatever it called, made you brave." I saw Chase blush once more. I pulled away from the embrace, just as Marshall left the room. I watched in confusion facing Chase, who was now growling.
"Stop asking that Everest! What happened that night was a mistake, not because I didn't want to do that, I did...I just wanted our first time to be special, not that hot mess. I know he enjoyed it. I was so out of it, that I didn't even know what I was doing! But, I still felt something that night so it was meaningful, I wouldn't of done it if it wasn't! N-"
"Wait, but you were drinking that...drink thing...so how did you know what you was doing?"
"When some pups drink they get this whole new feeling, a feeling that somehow makes them feel like a type of natural high. I loved it, but I wanted to express that feeling with some pup who was important to me, the only one who was always there...was Marshall. So I shared it with him. Half of it I didn't even know, but yes I was somehow brave enough to show him. As soon as I stepped out of the lookout, I saw him, I had a sudden urge I couldn't control...you can guess what happened next. Now you know, stop asking!" I lifted my paw up in defeat.
"Okay I'll stop, one more question? When will you two do it again?" I heard a low growl.
"Seriously, why is this so interesting to you?" I shrugged my shoulders, now seeing things in threes.
"Hey Chase, do you have litter mates?" He tilted his head confusion.
"Yeah somewhere in this world - wait stop getting off subject, answer my question."
"Okay, okay so why are there two other German Shepherds that look exactly like you, here?" He looked left and right, then back at me.
"Erm, Everest it's just me, are you okay?" He placed one of his front paws at the top of my head. I did the same. "You're hot." He said, removing his paw.
"So are you, now I see why you have all the pups after you." He huffed in frustration.
"I didn't mean that type of 'hot'!" He growled, now looking at the door.
"Why do you keep on looking at the door?" I heard another growl. I placed my paw on his muzzle lifting it up. "I'm sure Marshall's fine."
"Not after what you said...I'm going to go check on him." Before Chase could leave, I pulled on his paw pulling him back. Before I knew it, tears started staining my eyes. Catching him by surprise, I wrapped my front paws around his neck, hiding my muzzle in his fur. I didn't want to be alone. I embraced him tighter like I never wanted to let go. I wanted that warm feeling, I wanted his paws to wrap around me.
"Why don't you hug any pup?" I saw his paws still on the ground. I was sure by now I was making his fur wet with my tears.
"You know why." I titled my head in confusion. Letting out little giggles.
"You're so funny...I have no idea why, tell me?" I still didn't pull away from the embrace. I didn't want to feel alone.
"Because I only hold Marshall, no pup else." I ran my paws up and down his back, which made him shiver. "Everest stop that!" I did it again. One of my front paws grabbing his.
"He's not your mate, and it's just a hug Chase. What's the worst that could happen?" I heard another low growl this time, louder. Before he wriggled out of my embrace - well tried to, my paws had a strong grip on his neck. His struggling only made him fall over, dragging me on top. He turned his muzzle away, I pulled it back with my paw. I don't know what was happening to me if what like my paws had a mind of their own. I ran my paw down the side of his muzzle. "Everest s-"
"Shh, just let me do this one thing," I ran my paw down to his lips. I slowly brought my muzzle down, I could feel his paw reach over to his neck, trying to break the tight embrace. I broke it grabbing his paws, so now I was pinning him down. I could still hear him growl. I thought the easiest way to make him stop, is to shut him up. I was inches away.
"E-Everest, listen you don't know what you're doing, this is not what you want. You're hurt and doing this would make everything worse. Besides I won't let you. I know what you're going through, just don't do this. You will regret it." I grinned, reaching my muzzle up to whisper in his ear.
"Well if you won't let me, why are you not doing anything to stop me?" He growled once more, lightly shivering. As I licked down the side of his muzzle.
"Because you're pinning me down, how am I meant to stop you when you have my paws restraint!" I smiled, between licks.
"I'm not even pinning you that hard, this only proves this is meant to happen."
"No it not! I don't want this Everest and neither do you, you want Skye not me and I want Marshall not you, so let me go!" I shook my head, lowering my muzzle down, he tried turning his head left and right, until I held it straight with one of my paws. I was two seconds away,
I closed my eyes seeing pitch back.
Suddenly images flashed in my mind, I tried to ignore them, but they came back, every time they did. I felt my heart race, every time I saw her muzzle in my mind, them glowing fuchsia eyes lowering down and them shaggy ears flying left and right. At that moment I realised I couldn't do this. What was I doing? This was exactly what I did to Skye when she was hurt about Chase. Now I was about to do the same to the pup she loves. Only difference he already loves some pup and he will always hold Marshall's heart. Now I was truly acting like an idiot!
Before I could back away, I was suddenly felt cold sheets beneath me, I realised I had been flipped over, as soon as I slowly opened my eyes I saw Chase snarling at me. Okay Zuma was right, Chase can be very intimidating sometimes. I didn't even do anything, but let fresh tears drip down my muzzle. Catching him again by surprise I pushed him back then I ran straight into the bathroom, closing the door behind me. I soon heard paw prints walking towards the door stopping right outside.
"I know what you're going to say, 'I'm an idiot, I wasn't thinking straight' I know I am! I'm so sorry Chase, I can't believe I was two seconds away from kissing you, I hope you can forgive me." I banged my head on the door repeatedly.
"You're going to make your head worse like that. Everest I'm not mad at you, your mind wasn't in the right place. For what's it worth you wouldn't of kissed me, I waited for the right moment to stop you, just like I did to Skye so many times." I smiled, while having a slight concussion. I pulled my head away from the door. "Everest, you don't have to hide in there, come out?" I stood up on my hind legs, opening the door.
I felt a strange feeling in my body, as I jumped down. The last thing I saw was Chase's smile, before I looked down on the floor, feeling my stomach lift up. One thing I hated: was being sick. I had no choice as my stomach lifted up once more before it emptied. I could see my breakfast that was in my body now on the floor.
"Are you okay?" I heard Chase say, as he ran over to the white roll on the floor, picking it up and bringing in back to me. He tore a piece off wiping the revolting contents of my sick off the floor. Once all cleaned, he threw the now soaking pieces into the bin, closing the lid. Once he had finished I spoke.
"Y-yeah...I'm fine." I said, slightly drowsy. I felt a huge amount of dizziness. As I tried to walk.
"Hear grab my paw, I'll help you back to bed. You need to rest." I reached my paw, grabbing his using it for support as he walked me back to Jake's bed. Once I was in, his canines grabbed the blanket wrapping around me. "There, now you should go to sleep, it'll help you feel better." I'm impressed with the amount of knowledge Chase knows. I grabbed hold of his paw once more, pulling him into an embrace.
"Thank you Chase." He smiled in response. I watched him jump off the bed, walking towards the door. Oh great, now I'm alone. "Wait! Are we still friends?" He nodded in response again. I watched him nuzzle the door open. I had one last question on my mind. "Please don't tell Marshall? I really don't want my friendship with him to change." He looked back.
"What have I got to tell him, you did nothing wrong. You almost made a mistake, it not like you did anything." I felt relieved. "You're going to be okay on you own?"
"Wait you're leaving?" He nodded in response.
"Once I talk to Marshall, then yes. I'm sorry Everest, but me and him can't stay that long."
"Please don't go Chase, I don't want to be alone?" I felt tears fill my eyes, however this time I wouldn't let them fall.
"You're not going to be alone...not for long anyway." I was left dumbstruck as Chase left the bedroom. I was so confused.
'What does he mean I'm not going to be alone for long?' If they go, then I'm going to be the only one in the cabin. I didn't let my thoughts cloud up my mind, as I lay my head on one of the pillows. I realised I still had a bit of water left in the bowl. I reached my paw to pull it over. I drank in small sips, still tasting sick in my mouth. I came to a decision. 'I'm never drinking anything from brown coloured bottles again!' I pushed the bowl over to the edge of the bed, then I laid down on my side. As my front was hurting me.
I could hear voices outside the room, so that's means Marshall and Chase haven't gone yet. I felt slightly relieved although I was also disappointed. Sometimes I wish I lived at the lookout, so I could be more closer to the other pups...especially Skye.
I felt a sudden wet patch on my front paw. How many more times must I cry? I couldn't even deny it if I wanted too. I missed Skye, I missed her like crazy and I wanted her to come back, I don't care if we are friends for the rest of our lives, I just want to see her. I don't even have my pup tag anymore, so I can't even call her. I could ask Chase and Marshall, but right now hearing them talk so much, made me realise they were busy.
It's weird hearing them talk so much, normally they're just too surrounded in puppy love to even use words. Some part of me was worried. I tried to listen, but everything came out as mutters. I couldn't understand anything. I wondered if their even in the lounge at all. All this thinking was making me tired. I felt a yawn escape my lips 'maybe sleep was a good thing right,' I thought as I slowly closed my eyes.
Hours later I jolted up out of my sleep by a slamming noise, I heard seconds later, two voices coming from outside. I stood up to look.
"Marshall, wait!"
"No Chase, I'm done! I can't take this any more. I should of realised this a long time ago, but yet I let you, I know you're just playing with my heart. Why? Do you do this? You're with Skye, why do you continue to tease me. It's like you're leading me on and I don't want that. That night I told you how I felt, I meant every word I said I want something more of you, I don't want to be friends any more, I get it if that night meant nothing to you, just some stupid mistake. You should know, to me that night was the most blissful, most amazing night I have ever spent with you. That night you told me you loved me was it true or was I just your mistake? What makes it weird is that you're with Skye, but you go after me, why? I'm done with the secrets Chase tell me everything now!" I don't even understand what just happened. What did Chase do to make Marshall so angry like that? I swear moments ago they were just talking.
"Marshall, I-I...um I can't tell you right now." What's wrong with Chase, why's this pup sounding so shy all of a sudden. I think Marshall won't be mad with him, if the pup confesses.
"Why? Oh wait let me guess, you don't know, well you know what I'm done being your dirty little secret! I don't want you to sneak around Skye's back with me any more! I just want us to go back to being best friends. Once you decided what you want, then you can talk to me. But don't expect me to hurt Skye any more, because every time we do this, she finds out somehow. So whatever you said about keeping us a secret went south...one thing I'm so confused with, why did you start to cheat on Skye? I thought you loved her, isn't that why you marked her?" I could hardly hear anything, so with my paws I opened the window, feeling the cold air rushing through my fur.
"I-I-I don-"
"You know what forget it, you're never going to tell me. I'm just waiting for false hope and I'm sick of it. I'm going back and I don't want to see you until you decide what you want. Because this cheating game is finished Chase! I know now that everything we shared meant nothing to you, just some fun - well it's time for you to realise, that playtime is over!" He didn't even give Chase a chance to respond as Marshall dashed away. He jumped in his truck and drove off. As I closed the window.
I suddenly saw Chase run in the room, in a panic. Okay now I'm worried.
"Chase, what happened? Why were you and Marshall arguing just now, what does he mean." He seemed to be searching for something. I jumped back down from the window off the bed. I reached a paw pulling him back. So now he was facing me, his muzzle had all signs of worry wrapped around it. "Why didn't you tell him how you feel?" I unexpectedly heard light whimpers.
"I-I don't know, I just froze up, I didn't want to confess in the middle of an argument I wanted to tell him in a special way, to let him know how much I mean it." I slapped a paw to my muzzle.
"You do realise now he's gone? What even happened, that made this whole thing start in the first place?"
"Of course I know he's gone I just watched the best thing that ever happened to me, drive away...and I don't know what happened it went so quick. We were just talking a-and then I went outside for second, I came back in and he ran right past me slamming the door. I would've gone after him if I didn't leave my damn pup pack here, it's somewhere in this room." I titled my head in confusion for many reasons. I also looked all over the room, until I spotted in under the bed. I pointed my paw. He ran towards the bed, pulling it out. Zipping his vest on and placing the pup pack on top.
"So what happens now?" He looks at me, then at the door.
"I'm sorry Everest, but I got to go find him, I don't understand why he's so mad with me. I got to find out and tell him the truth." I followed him to the door.
"Wait what does Marshall mean about cheated?" Chase suddenly looked down, a light blush dusting the side of his muzzle.
"You should probably know that ever since that day in the fields, me and Marshall just sort of had a secret affair. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't keep it in any longer, and I already knew how he felt so I knew he'll easily agree to it. I didn't plan on Skye finding out, I just wanted the whole thing to be a secret." I can't believe what I was hearing, I was suddenly infuriated.
"Wait, so you cheated on her rather then just break up? It could've been a lot easier you know." He slowly nodded in response.
"I know, but I told you the reason already. I gave Skye a chance, but I couldn't keep my paws off Marshall. Tell me when you and Skye were together who made the first move?" Okay now I'm confused.
"Me, but why does it matter?"
"See even if you wanted too, you couldn't restrict yourself, you knew Skye was with me and you let her mark you you can't fight temptation Everest." I let out a low growl.
"I only did that because she was hurting, she was sick of your mind games Chase! So when I saw how upset she was, I wanted her to be happy and I wanted to show her that she could have a better mate. From what I've heard Chase you don't seem to care about her feelings at all do you? Did I mention the reason why she's back at the lookout? It's because she still loves you, when you broke her heart she stopped lying and told me the truth. I know Skye plays pups to get what she wants...she did it to me, but I'm sick of the way you speak to her, even if you don't care I do and I hope she realises that. And I wish she'll wake up and know you're no good for her!"
"Skye played you, yet you still want her. How do you know she isn't going to keep playing your heart over and over?"
"Because I trust her." I saw his head lift up, a smirk passing though his lips.
"You're a fool, but I guess some pups have to learn the hard way, anyway I got to go now so bye, Everest." All that angry suddenly turns into sadness.
"So you're leaving me, I told you Chase I don't want to be on my own." That smirk soon turned to a small smile, lifting my head up as soon as it lowered.
"I told you before you won't be alone for long...oh no - please tell me he didn't?" Now I was absolutely dumbstruck.
"Who didn't what? C-"
"How could I have been so stupid?" Before I could answer him, he ran out of the room, straight towards the front door. I followed him to the porch where I saw him get in his truck. "Don't worry Everest you'll be fine." That was the last thing he said before driving off. I walked back into the house, closing the door. I felt hungry, but that would just make me sick again. Instead of eating, I went straight back to Jake's room. I jumped on the bed trying to close my eyes and go back to sleep.
After many minutes of trying I gave up falling onto my back. I needed a distraction something that wouldn't make me think of Skye. Then as if a light bulb switched in my head, I thought of something. I ran to a corner in Jake's room, to a large type of furniture. I had no idea what it was called. It just had small doors attached. I used my canines to open one of them. Revelling many flat boxes type things. Which have small round disks inside. I pulled one out, it was my favourite. I brought it over to the lounge, where I pushed a button. Which made a small screen appear on the wall. I think the device was called a 'TV' it was very strange at first, but Jake helped me get used to it. I used a type of lever to pull the TV down. Once it was the same level as me, I let go of the lever, opening the box. I gently placed the shining circular disk at the side of the tv. Once in I lifted the TV up a bit, using the lever. I grabbed another type of device before jumping on the couch. I pressed one of the small buttons. Suddenly a light illuminated from the screen and a title came up. Words that read: Balto.
Wait I thought I was watching cats and dogs? Where's that film then? Jake must be switching round films again. I slapped a paw across my muzzle. I had never watched this film before, before I knew it, I pressed play on the remote.
An hour went by when the film was drawing to an end, I've been enjoying so much that I didn't even know it was nearly finished. It was so engaging. The characters were quite interesting. As I saw the last bit, I felt that familiar pain in my heart.
'I'm starting to get sick of puppy love!' In most movies that Jake had, always had a type of romance in them. I wish he had an ordinary film for once.
As soon as it showed the credits. I pressed a button making the screen turn to pitch black. I'll take the disk out tomorrow. I wrapped my front paws together using them as a type of pillow. I could feel the same tiredness feeling return. I slowly closed my eyes. Seeing nothing but black. Before I could sleep, I realised something.
"Wasn't Jake meant to come back today?" Of course it was nearly night. I wasn't very good at time, but the sky was turning a dark shade of blue. It was also weird that I didn't see those remarkable colours flash in the sky. 'Maybe I got my days wrong?' I was meant to take Skye to see it before she leaves. Now she's gone and I don't know when she's coming back. There's no point.
I hate being heartbroken!
It like the worst feeling I've ever experienced - no I felt this before. When Moonlight got taken away, I was devastated I still hope one day I'll see her again. I wish she can come back, maybe she could help me figure out everything. I just need some wisdom and guidance. Because right now I feel like I'm lost. She was always there to help me see through my problems.
Maybe Chase was right, was I wrong to trust Skye? I mean she did break my heart once, so maybe she can do it again? I know she'll never be with him again as Chase doesn't love her. So how can I not trust her. I'm giving Skye the time to decide what she wants just like what Marshall wants Chase to do, except that pup already knows. This pup can be so difficult sometimes. Not to mention he can be very dense as well.
I'm starting to think this German Shepherd is getting stuck in my head - no not him, but his words. Great I'm starting to sound like Marshall now. I hope they can sort it out I don't want to feel like I've lost another best friend all because he hides away from the world, rather then face it with a smile.
It's like when any pup comes in my life they just get taken away from me or leave, I guess I'm not meant to be loved. It won't be long till Jake leaves as well, maybe he already did. I suppose that was his plan all along.
"No!" What was I thinking? Jake would never leave me, he made me feel like I belong somewhere, he brought me to a warm place that felt like home and, he became my owner. He tells me I'm such a good pup, everyday. He's the only one I trust with my past. He understands me in so many ways and he makes me feel loved like if I lost every pup, I'll still have him. I know he's coming back soon. He won't stay away from Adventure bay for long. I just know it.
I felt more wet patches. I feel so alone, I just wanted some pup or someone to hold me and tell me everything's going to be okay. That's all I want. Because right now, I feel like my life is crumbling down to pieces. I wished now none of this would of happened. I wished Skye never spent the weekend here, I wish I never saw that stupid mark and I regretted ever kissing her! If I kept my damn paws to myself and restricted them from touching her, none of this would of happened. Everything would be how it is. Everything being a big secret. Now I feel like every pup's falling apart and PAW patrol isn't what it used to be! I just want it all too go back to normal!
But wait, if none of this happened this weekend. Skye would keep on loving a lie, Chase would probably never accidentally made that mistake that changed his life. That's means, he and Skye would still be together. Skye would never know how I felt about her and Chase would keep his feelings for Marshall hidden for so long. Rocky would never know Zuma's secret if Skye didn't tell him - even if she almost got herself killed over it.
I now understand, everything that happened this weekend, happened for a reason. It all makes sense now. Eventually the team's going to change, every pup won't stay the same. I can't expect them all to live in peace and harmony. Life doesn't work like that.
Going back to what happened. It's looks like every pup gets their happy ending. Expect for me. Although I'm still wondering what happened between Chase and Marshall? I know most of it was my fault, but I didn't mean to act like an idiot. I was - what do humans call it - 'drunk.' Now I'm back to myself with an exception of dizziness pounding at my head. I feel like my mind is having a party and the music is just bass which has a very loud melody. I think this is what it's like to get an headache.
That's it I'm done with emotions for today! I felt my eyes close again as I slowly drifted to sleep and back to my happy place, as long as I don't have a terrifying nightmares, then I'll wake up screaming.
'I swear some pups wants to break down my front door?'
My eyes shoot open as I hear an anonymous knock once again pounding at my door. For ten seconds I pretend I'm not in. That's until I hear barking, the sound was high pitch and very familiar. I didn't want to move, however before I knew it I jumped off the couch, waking towards the door; yawning along the way.
I reached my paw pulling it open, suddenly my eyes went wide, as I saw the one pup I was expecting not to see standing there right at my front porch. I almost didn't even hear that soft voice as she spoke.
"Hey Everest," I was lost for words, as she walked in, there was only one thing going through my head right now.
'Am I dreaming?'
