My 9/11

Crush

---ZOEY POV---~~~

I walked Sadie all the way back to her house. She had wiped away her tears long before she even got past the Net Park. We went up the elevator and walked the hall to her house.

We went into her bedroom.

"Anything you want me to do for you?" I asked as she sat down on her bed.

" Lets draw," she said with a half smile on her face. She went under her bed and pulled out some crayons and paper.

She handed me some of her stuff and she took the rest. I started drawing Danger. I detailed his brown eyes and black claws. It was almost a complete replica. I took a peek at Sadie's. She was drawing birds in the sky. There was a rainbow.

Someone's happy. Just then she noticed I was looking at hers. She looked over at mine.

"Is that your cat?" She asked touching my drawing.

"How do you know I have a cat?"

"From how much work you put into it," she said. Man she was smart for her age.

"Ya, it was my cat Danger. He ran away one day and didn't come back," I explained.

"Oh, because I think I've actually seen that cat before,"

"What!? Where?" I suddenly asked.

"Ah, down by where the Twin Towers used to be," she said thinking.

"You think we would have time to go down there and back before your family gets back?"

"Ya, it'll be another hour till they get back,"

"Let's go," I said.

We went out her door and she got her coat again. I asked if I could borrow one. She gave me one.

Now I would be toasty warm. With my jacket on, we went out the door. After going down, we went out the door to walk to the remains of the Twin Towers.

The whole way their Sadie asked on my past, before I met her. I told her my story, just like I did with Palmer.

I started with my Mom and Dad dying to when Palmer ditched me. When I told her my ear I had been shot off she asked to see it. I pulled away my hair revealing my flat skin where my ear once was.

After my story she told me her's. It wasn't has action packed as mine but it was a good ending one.

She was born on July 3rd. She grew up with her three brothers Collin, Brendan, and Tristan. Sadie used to live in a development but moved here when her parents got there dream jobs. When she was five she got stitches after attempting to ride a normal two wheeled bike. She was now eight and had lost four of her teeth now.

She also said she had never owned a pet but wanted a puppy SUPER badly. Her friends were Angel (not anymore I hope), Aidan, and Patty. Sadie was going to school still but at the moment had a break going on. I saw the ruins in the distance.

We finally got to what used to be the World Trades Center. We started looking around the place.

"Did your Dad really die here?" She asked as we looking for my brown cat.

"Ya," I said. I still missed him even though I had a new home and people to take care of me.

We kept looking around until Sadie said she saw something over around a water fountain close by. I sprinted to where she pointed. If I were to find Danger, my whole world would get better. I wouldn't be alone anymore.
