Um...Hello readers! XD
Dry your tears chapter 8
flashback (5 years ago)
A ten year old Amy made her way down the lit streets of the city. With her was her new found puppy. She literally just found it, and she had a rare smile on her face as it followed her. She was gonna take him home. She already gave him a name.
"Ace. I'll call you Ace." Amy skipped up the steps to her apartment. Inside she could hear screaming. Shivers randown her back as she slowly opened the door.
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU?! YOU MEAN YOU SMOKED THE LAST OF IT?!"
"YEAH! SO WHAT? YOU GONNA SHOOT ME?"
Amy covered her ears as her..well...'parents' argued. She picked up Ace and tip toed her way behind them. Xander, her step dad swung around with a gun in his hands.
"Oh...it's just you. Don't sneak-what the hell is that?"
Amy held Ace close to her chest. "I-I-I-"
Xander slapped Amy with the butt of the gun. "Quit stuttering!"
Fresh tears streamed down Amy's cheeks. "I found him. He was all alone and hungry. Can I keep him?..Please?"
"Hell no! What do you think this is? A shelter?"
Amy shook her head. "He has no where to go!"
Xander kneeled down with a sick grin. "Yes he does."
Amy smiled a bit. "You mean you can find him a home?"
Xander nodded and took Ace from Amy. Setting the small dog on the floor, he turned back to Amy and smiled. "You know what they say, dont you?"
Amy shook her head in confusion.
"All dogs go to heaven!"
"Wha-?"
BANG BANG BANG BANG!
Amy dug her nails into her head and screamed. "NOOOOOOOOOO!"
End of flaahback
Amy's p.o.v
"No...no...NOOOO!"
I sat up with sweat dripping down my forehead. I looked at my surroundings. I was on a couch..but it wasn't mine.
"OH GOODIE YOU'RE AWAKE!"
I covered my ears at the sudden girly scream. My eyes widened a bit.
A pretty girl with voluptuous curves, glossy burnette hair that is as long as her ears, and milky shiny violet eyes jumped infront of me. I scooched back in fear.
"HELLO!"
I covered my ears again. "Where am I? And who are you?!"
The girl gasped and giggled a bit. "Oh my bad! Names Krise! You're in my house!"
"Why did you bring me here?"
"I sae what happened this morning and I followed you. Poor thing. You passed out under a bridge!
"I was sleeping..."
"Same thing! It was freezing out there! Anyway, I have a proposition for you!"
"So who's paying you?"
"Huh?"
"How much money are you getting? I mean, to be nice to me? I'm sure you'd rather kick me out, or jump me or something."
"Uh...I don't exactly know-"
"They did a good job hiding the cameras. I wonder wher they are? I'm sure lots of people are laughing right now. I'm surprised you aren't." I continued to look around the room for evidence.
"Nothing? No pranks? No buckets of water falling on my head?"
Krise sat me back down. "No no. You have the wrong idea. I'm not here to bully you. I'm here to-"
"To set me up? To laugh at me? Or maybe to lead me into another beating?"
"No!"
"Then what?"
"I want you!"
"Um...sorry, but i'm not into girls like that..."
"NO! NOT THAT! I meant I want to hear what you have to say! I'm the school journalist! I hope to be a professional one day!" Krise swiped some hair behind her ear, and pulled out a pencil and note pad. "Go on."
"What?!"
Krise pointed her pencil at my chest and stood up in the stance of a hero. "You have a story! I just know you do! All that's happened to you? You're like a crumbling leaf falling off a tree in mid autumn!"
"Gee thanks..."
"No really! I think people need to know just who Amy Rose is! Imagine this!" Krise put one arm around me and swiped the other through the air. "Your name all over the school! Then all over the town! Then all over the county! Then the state! Then the country! Then OTHER countries! THEN THE WORLD! Can you see it?"
I cringed away from Krise and began to pick up my bag and jacket. "No I don't see it, and I never will see it. Neither will you, or anyone else on this planet. No one cares, or has ever cared about me. My one and only friend is in the hospital, and I get billied everyday, and I don't- nevermind."
"SEE! RIGHT THERE! You do have something to say! And the sooner people hear it, the more they'll understand you! The more they understand you, the less they bully you! The lesd they bully you, the happier your life will be!"
I held my head down and made my way to the front door. "I have no life. I have no story. And I will never..and I mean NEVER...be happy." I opened the door and made my way out onto the sidewalk. I shoved my hands into my pockets and made my way out of her neighborhood. Once again, that SAME red and black blur rushed passed me.
"What the heck is that?! I know for a fact i'm not seeing things...Or maybe-"
"Afternoon! Shouldn't you be at school little lady?"
I gasped as an old man came walking down the street with a white dog. "Um...I have a reason not to go."
"And why is that if you don't mind me asking?"
"Um...I'd rather refrain from talking about it sir...have I seen you somewhere...?"
"I don't believe so." The man chuckled as his dog came up and sniffed me. I gasped and stepped back from it. The old man looked at me curiously. "I'm sorry, are you afraid of dogs? He doesn't bite."
"N-No..he just...looks like..a dog I used to have..."
I examined the dog closer. He was white, had three black paws, and a black tip on his tail and ears, fluffy, a huskie breed, and about medium height. If he were smaller I could have sworn he'd be-
"His name is Ace. You can pet him if you like."
My eyes widened as I looked up at the old man. "A-Ace?"
"Mmhmm. Found him just wondering around this old apartment building a few weeks ago. Almost as if he was looking for something." The old man lowered his glasses, and looked at me with his clear blue eyes. "Or someone."
I looked down at my feet in deep thought. The old man smiled and tugged on the leash a bit. "Well never the less, he's one loyal pup! You just gotta love em!"
"Yeah...you sure do."
Ace licked my hand before walking off with the old man. A slight smile creeped up on my face as I watched the dog turn the corner with his master.
"No way."
*tear* bravo XD
