Pray for the Best

Just a confession

I knock on Chase's door.

"It's open!" He yells from inside

I open the door and shut it behind me

Chase was just laying on his bed

I walk to the side and sit on the floor

"You wanted to talk?" I ask

He turns and looks at me

"I don't want to do this anymore."

"What?" I say in confusion.

"I'm tired of all this!" He says back

He puts his paws over his eyes

"What do you mean..." I ask him

"I... I just don't want to be perfect all the time... I'M NOT PERFECT!" He yells

I look around and think to myself for a second.

"How about this, we make two lists..." I tell him "List one, reasons to give up... and list two, reasons to keep going..."

He takes his paw off his face and looks at me again

"Uhh..." he says nervously

"Come on Chase... just start listing..."

He look up at the ceiling

"Well... Ryder expects me to be the best pup in the city, I'm tired, I can never do anything without someone asking where I'm going or what I'm doing or where I was." He lets out a sigh "and I maybe.. sorta.. like someone..."

I sit up on the bed with him

"Why is that on the giving up list?" I ask

He looks away trying to hide that he was blushing.

"I don't know how to tell them... Because its a he..."

I smile

"Oh, Well... If you need help..."

He looks at me and smiles

"Its fine..."

"Ok, list two?" I say

"I like my job, I like helping people and other pups, and I really like the Paw patrol team..." he says

"That it?" I ask

"And you..." he whispers to himself

"What was that?..." I say

He looks a me and starts blushing again.

He sighs and smiles while saying

"You."

My heart started pounding and I felt like I was out of breath

"Rocky?..." he says

"Y-yeah?" I reply

"I-I like you..." he says nervously stuttering

It feels like my heart has exploded

I sit there silently as I think about what he just said

His face went from a nervous smile to a worried face

"Oh no... did I ruin this..." he says

I can't find any words to say anything

"Rocky... I'm so sorry... pl-please forget I said anything..."

Chase runs out of his pup house

After I quickly get up and run out to

I look around but don't see him anywhere

"Rubble! Did you see which way Chase went!"

Rubble looks at me

"Uhh I think he went that way towards the lake..." he says

"Thanks Rubble!" I yell

I run towards the lake and cabin

"What did I do!" I say out loud

I make it to the cabin and I go inside

I couldn't find Chase

I run back outside and over to the lake

"Oh! Why water?" I yell out loud

"I don't want to get wet..."

I need to make a quick decision

I look around...

"AHHHHH!" I yell as I jump into the water

I look around and see chase falling to the bottom

I quickly swim to the bottom the best I could

I push him up and out of the water and then slowly climb up and out

I try to wake him up

"CHASE!" I yell

I shake him

"CHASE!"

I drag him to the cabin and to the fireplace...

Good thing I did training with Marshall...

I push on his chest

Hoping he would open his eyes and sit up

I push and push and push

I start to cry and call out his name

"Chase... Chase..."

It wasn't working

I wrap my arms around him and cry with my face on his chest
