I come back home after a day of work and immediately look for where my girlfriend could be, but I can't see her anywhere in the house; so I just start putting my stuff away.

I go towards the door of the room we share together, but it's locked. I stay silent for a whole trying to figure the situation out and I hear a low sound of crying coming from inside

"baby.. are you there?"

I hear a sniffling sound but no answer

"open up silly, I know you're here"

"fine..."

her voice is so sad and broken it almost makes me cry

the door slowly cracks open and I see my cute princess standing in front of me, with ruffled hair and puffy eyes from crying

"what's wrong princess? what happened?"

she looks away from me and stays silent

"heyy.. give me attention"

she flinches slightly as I get closer and keeps looking away, so I tilt her chin up

"now look at me"

she finally moves her gaze back to me and j give her a soft smile

"what's going on?"

"nothing i just.."

she bursts into tears and I immediately hold her, taking in all of her sadness and frustration. I start caressing her hair and trying to calm her down

"talk to me please.. I need to know how to make you feel better"

"it's ust.. one of my animals has been sick today and I brought it to the vet.. but there's the chance it won't survive. it has epilepsy and if the treatment doesn't work..."

her voice breaks thinking about that possibility. my heart breaks too because I know how much she cares about her animals and how much she gives to them

if possible, I hold her even stronger

"I'm so sorry.. I'm sure it will heal and come back to you"

I manage a weak smile and she smiles back sadly

"let's watch a movie together, while we wait for the news, alright?"

"alright"

after a while her phone rings and she picks it up anxiously

"it's okay? really? the treatment works? OH THANK GOD!!"

"how is my guinea pig? is it resting?"

she keeps asking a lot of questions and she closes the call after a few minutes. she throws her arms around her

"it survived. IT SURVIVED!!"

she bursts into tears of happiness and I hug her tightly
