It was dark outside I was just looking into the sky enjoying myself suddenly someone touched my Hand when I looked down I saw my dog Bingo licking my Hand „Hey Boy you still awake, huh?" I was looking at him and waited for some kind of answer, but he just looked at me and reached for my Hand „Yeah I can't sleep either" I petted him behind the ears, and he laid down beside me, I sighed and grabbed my phone I looked at the screen „3:47am" said the clock on it, I sighed and decided to look at the massages I had,
nothing special just some notifications from Facebook and some text messages I looked at them out of nowhere popped up a new notification

„Net: „please tell me I'm not the only one who can't sleep"

send at 3:50am"

I had to smile at the massage, but I was also confused to why we were awake at the same time

Ivy: „Are you stalking me or something?"

Send at 3:50am

Net: „yeah, sure you remember the time your whole roof just fell into itself? I installed cameras, so I can watch your every move"

Send at 3:51am

Ivy: „You asshole don't bring my first training into that"

Send at 3:52am

Net: „What? I think the Dogs did pretty good....you on the other hand"

Send at 3:54am

Ivy: „Okay I want to see you try training Dogs for the Armee without any help and explanation cause this is what my trainer did"

Send at 3:55am

I waited but I didn't get any answer

I looked at my clock

3:57am

And again

4:05am

And again...

4:20am

I laid my phone down and just sighed the relationship with my brother wasn't the best at this point I was working much these days, and he had to take care of his wife we lived in the same city, but it didn't really felt like we were really living like siblings should

Do siblings get into fights? Sure all the time but this...this doesn't felt right it was like we were to completely different people standing on opposite sides...

I shook my head it didn't matter what I thought it wasn't making the situation any better or any worse,
I just put my phone away completely and looked down into the street

Suddenly, bingo shoot up and looked at me

„No don't look at me like that I know what you're thinking, but I'm not the one apologizing not this time" Bingo just tilted his head and now his whole face looked like he was judging me. Or I was just spending too much time with that damn dog

either way, I was definitely spending more time with that white shepherd then with a human

Suddenly Bingo sat up and walked inside I didn't followed him and didn't expect anything because I thought he was going back to sleep, at 4:25am it would be normal to go to sleep right?
but instead he came back with a leash and a training target

„Bingo seriously? It's 4:27am, that's too early, and also why does it always have it to be the god-damn target? Did I just buy all this toys for decoration?" now he was just putting his paw over his nose and I realized that I wasn't going to sleep any time soon so I just could take him out for a walk

I took the leash and his harness

„Bingo come" I whistled, and he slowly walked to me and sat down so I could put is harness and Leash on

I looked at him and just sighed „Happy?" he barked, and I had to smile „Net is right, I should stop talking to Bingo as if he was my child" I said to myself and looked confused at myself in the mirror I had in my hallway

I opened the door and took Bingo down the stairs we walked a while and I looked around me, it was interesting to look at the apartments as to how many people were actually awake at this time it was apparently 4:47am I put one of my earphones in and opened my music app I started playing "Maps" by Maroon 5 and let Bingo of his leash we know that era around here so I trusted Bingo not to run away because he sees something he doesn't know after a while we reached a park I sat down on a bench and Bingo just ran around it was now 5:00am and the sun began to rise out of nowhere I got a new message from my phone

Clair (Boss): „I have something to talk about with you, it's about a new job I have for you"

Send at 5:01am

I was looking into my phone and I knew instantly that I had to move for this job I didn't know why, but I just had that feeling I just hoped that the time I get to decided if I want to take that offer is long enough so that I could fix my relationship with Net because I didn't want to leave not yet not on these terms

So hey there a shorter and a different chapter this time I just wanted to give you more of Ivy's life and her relationship with her brother I hope you like it

Until well meet Again
