His Little Secret

GoodBye Pixie

"Analese! Analese, get down here right now!" I jumped out of bed and ran to the kitchen where my mom was yelling for me. 

"What? What is it?" I asked startled. She never woke me up like that, actually she never woke me up at all. I ran over to where my mother was standing to see my dog on the floor. 

" Pixie?... Pixie?!" I screeched. "Mom what do we do?" I looked up at my mom through all the tears in my eyes. I crouched next to Pixie and held her up.

"Mom, why isn't she moving? We have to take her somewhere." I cried. 

"Honey I called you father, he took the car. We can't take her anywhere until he gets back." She said. I could hear the worry in her voice and that made my heart pound faster that it already was.

 Pixie , you are fine right? You are just sleeping. Please Pixie just be okay. Oh god not today, not my dog.

"Mom, how long has she been like this?"

"I found her like this when I woke up Anne, I thought she was asleep. I called her for some breakfast and she never came, that's when I started to worry."

"Did you wake up Josh?"

"No, I don't want him to see her that way. I don't think he should know unless we are certain she's...."

The word never came out of her mouth but I knew what she was going to say. I cried on the floor holding Pixie for what seemed like hours, but were actually only ten minutes until my dad came. I practically raced outside to the car with Pixie in my hands.

"Step on it dad!" I said as I slammed the door shut.

Once we finally got to the veterinarian we ran into the office and got someone to take Pixie in right away. I sat on a chair quietly sobbing into my dads arms. I have has Pixie since I was six years old, its only been nine years. She should be fine. I mean the life span of a dog is usually thirteen years,right? My little Pixie will be fine.

Not an went by when the nurse came into the waiting room.

"Pixie's family?" she asked. I jolted up and looked at her face. When i saw her eyes my heart dropped and my hands started to shiver.

"I really don't want to be the one to tell you this, but... I'm sorry. She was already gone before she got here. We tried to bring her back but we couldn't."

I crashed into my dad and cried. I didn't care who was there looking at me. I couldn't believe this.

"Do you know what happened?" I heard my dad ask through my sobs.

"Yes, we found out that your dog ate a piece of chocolate. Usually when a dog eats chocolate they are poisoned because of the toxicity. Most of the times after eating chocolate they show signs of being sick like vommiting, but it appears your dog's immune system couldn't take it and he got sick very quickly. I am truly sorry."

"Can...can we see him?" my voice cracking as I tried to speak up.

"Yes, right this way."

The nurse led my dad and I into a small room with a little operation table in the middle of the room. Pixie was laying on the table, lifeless. She wasn't barking and wagging her tail at me like she always did when she saw me. She was still, just a lump of white fur on the table.

After a lot of crying and calling my mom to tell her what happened we headed home. Pixie was in the trunk in a little box. My mom and dad said we had to burry her today to put her body at rest and get through the grief quicker. I don't see how I could do that, or Josh. We grew up with Pixie and letting her go is going to be hard. Life is going to be very different now without her here.

"Analese is it true? Is what mommy said true?" Josh lunged at me when I got home. "She's lying right? It's not true."

"Josh...." I began, when my dad walked in with the box Pixie was is.

"Daddy, what's in the box? Where is Pixie?"

"She's right here Josh." My dad said looking at the box.

"Josh, mom wasn't lying. Pixie is... gone." I could barely let out the last word.

"Analese what do you mean she's gone? She's right there." Josh said pointing to the box that my dad put on the ground. Josh ran to the box and lifted it up.

"Oh no." Josh ran into my arms and started to cry. I tried to stay strong for him but a few tears fell from my own eyes.

We buried Pixie in her favorite dog park and left a little shrine. On the way home I realized it was three in the afternoon and school was over. I totally forgot it was a school day with what happened. I couldn't even think about anything else but loosing Pixie.

When I got home I felt so exhausted I went up to my room to cry by myself and sleep. As I walked past my night table I saw my phone flash.

Look who skipped school today! wow and you judge me?

Really? The nerve he has, ugh. How dare he.

@Analese01 to @sexgodSammyR

Plz don't talk about something you have no knowledge of. I am not in the mood to deal with you or any arrogant person in this world right now.

@sexgodSammyR to @Analese01

Woah man, I was just kidding. Everything alright?

@Analese01 to @sexgodSammyR

No, everything is not alright.

@sexgodSammyR to @Analese

Wanna talk about it?

No I do not want to talk about it, not to you anyway. I don't even want to talk to my friends right now. I just want to be by myself and cry. Is that really too much to ask? You probably wouldn't even care, and turn the conversation around about yourself. Or even worse you won't even listen . Nope, no thank you I don't want to talk to you.

@sexgodSammyR to @Analese0101

I won't be arrogant and annoying, I'll just listen. You can tell me.

Ok, did he just read my mind? This guy is on some voodoo thing.

@Analese01 to @sexgodsammyR

Fine... call me.
