Forever still stands Warren Peace LS (Book 2)

Dog walk, gone wrong

Allison's POV

I sniffled. The tears welled up in my eyes. I hated crying. I always hated crying. It shows how weak I am. Ugh. I sniffled again. I was going through our old pictures. From freshmen year. To sophomore. And junior. I could tell. Our smiles weren't as real as they used to be. I sighed. Maybe it was meant to be. Maybe we weren't supposed to be together forever. I then looked at one. I haven't seen in awhile. I smiled softly. My parents think they're real slick. They took a photo of us when the both of us were sleeping. We looked really peaceful. I traced my thumb over the photo. "Forever still stands, even if always doesn't", I whispered softly. I pressed the photo to my lips softly. "I still love you", I whispered softly. I then heard a whine. I looked away from the photo and saw peanut. He rested his little head on my thigh. I smiled sadly and softly. I've been so depressed. I've caused our dog to be depressed. I'm such a bad dog mother. I placed the photo down and grabbed peanut into my arms. "Come here baby. I'm sorry, I know. Mommy's been sad for a long time. But nothing a few cuddles couldn't fix", I told him. He yipped at me and licked my nose. I giggled. What was I thinking? Even though I didn't have Warren as my boyfriend anymore. I still have people that care about me. I've shut people out because I wanted to be alone. But not anymore. Not today.

I laid back and cuddled with my baby first. I giggled as he cuddled and got comfortable. He placed his little head in the crook of my neck. I patted him softly. "Mommy still loves you baby. So does daddy. And I know we haven't been around lately. But that's gonna change. I promise", I whispered to him. I know, so some people it's stupid and pointless to talk to dogs. But this dog right here is like my son. My baby. And he'll always stay that way. He's part of our forever. Even if always doesn't.

30 minutes later.

Okay. I have to get up now. My legs are starting to fall asleep and I want to get out and about. I slowly got up. Peanut still in my arms. "How about we go on a walk, huh? Would that be nice? I bet it would", I baby talked him. I just can't help myself when I do that. I giggled when he yipped and jumped in the air. He was so excited. I grabbed a treat from one of the jars I have on my dresser. I held it up in the air so he could jump for it. He jumped and caught in his mouth. I smiled softly. "Good boy peanut", I praised him happily. He barked at me. I raised my hands up in mock surrender. "Okay. Okay. I can see someone's impatient", I teased him. I grabbed his leash and clipped it to his collar. "Come on. Let's go", I told him.  And he nearly dragged me down the stairs. I giggled loudly. He was really excited.

I almost didn't even have enough time to yell that I was leaving. But I did. "Bye! I'm leaving! Taking peanut on a walk!", I yelled. I opened the door and he charged out of the house like a crazed dog. I yelped and almost fell if I didn't catch my balance. "Dude. Slow down. You got to slow down", I told him. But of course he didn't listen. And then I heard another dog barking. It wasn't that far from here. My eyes widened. And I looked down at peanut. "Don't you dare", I told him. But that little shit took off. With me being dragged. This time I couldn't catch my balance. I yelped. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Ow. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. This fucking hurts!

This was not fun at all. I am being dragged by my dog. And the sidewalk does not feel the greatest. "Peanut!", I yelled at him. Hoping that would stop him. But of course it didn't. But then he stopped. Oh thank god. I breathed a breath of air out. Okay. Now everything hurts. "Are you okay?", I heard a unfamiliar voice ask me. I looked up and saw a boy looking down at me. He was holding peanut in his arms. I giggled. "Not really. Nothing better then being dragged across the sidewalk by your dog", I told him. He chuckled and held out a hand. I grabbed it and he yanked me up. Ow.

"Thanks", I told him. He gave me a smile. Oh he has a cute smile. But not my type. He was a blonde. I'm more into dark haired guys. "No problem. Are you sure your okay? It seemed pretty harsh", he asked me. I giggled and shook my head. "Yeah I'm fine. I've had bigger problems then this. I'm Allison. But you can call me Allie, everyone does", I told him. He gave me a side smile. "Nice to meet you Allie. I'm Carter", he told me. Yeah. He looks pretty young. He looks like a freshmen.
