TIRED | Kelly Foster

6. Talk

Its been a min ik

It had been a couple days since I had my talk with spar about all the crazy shit happening in my life. I had visited spar a couple more times and he seemed to be getting worse. I was really worried about him. I knew that Kelly had talked to my dad about Spar and how much pain he was in and that it might be time to think about putting him down but my dad had refused. Which I knew wasn't the right choice.

It had seemed like such a normal day until I heard yelling from Spars enclosure. I ran over to it so fast. I saw Kelly and the others yelling into the enclosure. I looked in and saw that Spar was up on his rock and wouldn't/couldn't get down. I ran over to my dad.

"Dad what happened? Is Spar okay?" I yelled

"He climbed up there and can't get down now" I heard Kelly respond instead of my dad.

"How can we get him to come down?" I asked her.

"I'm not sure if im completely honest" she said

Then my dad went into this rant about how he was gonna go in and get Spar down himself. Me and kelly shot that down pretty quick. Thankfully Lily reminded us that they hate loud noises and that might get him to come down. So we all got pots and pans and spoons to bang on to try to make Spar come down.

Kelly silently counted us down and then we started banging and clunking on the pots and pans. After lots of screaming and banging, Spar climbed down. Saying I was relieved was an understatement. But as we all quieted down my dad kept yelling. I was so embarrassed and ashamed.

After making sure Spar was okay I went to watch Solomon the lion. Watching him was my other favorite thing to do. I felt like he also understood me.

After watching him for a while I heard footsteps come up behind me.

"Hey" Kelly said simply sitting down next to me.

"Hi," i replied.

We sat in silence for a couple minutes before she spoke up again.

"So how do you like it here?" She asked

"I like it." I said

"That's all i get?" she joked

"I mean i don't know, i like animals so that's nice and i hated the people at my school so i didn't really care unlike Dylan. He had to leave his friends. I didn't have any to leave."

"Yeah I get that. I see my friends posting about going out and having fun nights on the town and i'm here shoveling shit." She said

"You live around here?" I asked

"With my mom," she replied shortly. "How old are you? I've been meaning to ask but never got the chance. It seems someone always pulls me away when I have the time."

"18. Soon to be 19. You?"

"Uh almost 22" she said "Are you dating anyone?"

"Uh no why?"

"Just wondering. You don't seem like someone who would be in a relationship."

You turn towards her

"What is that supposed to mean?" I said in a sarcastic angry tone

"You just seem preoccupied with a lot of other things." She said laughing.

"Yeah actually you're not wrong." I laughed.

"Good, I didn't want to insult you." She said and looked at me.

I looked into her eyes and saw a beautiful green. Her eyes sparkled in the sun and made me feel nothing but admiration.

"Why are you staring at Vlad?" She said smirking

"I'm not '' I said shortly and quickly turned away.

"Uh huh. Right" she mumbled while rolling her sparkling green eyes filled with sarcasm.

That's when it hit me that she had once again called me Vlad. As I realized that, my stomach arose with a sensation I had never felt before. Butterflies. So cheesy I know. But I couldn't help it.
