The Haunted Sleepover

Chapter 8-The box

Inside the box was...

4 dogs... Each of them had a tag with a name on it;Melissa, John, Elizabeth, Sally. ~what in the world...~ I think to myself. I had to look away because I thought I heard the door open, it was nothing. I turn around and there was Ashlynn hugging and petting all the puppies. "ASHLYNN!!" "Sorry... I couldn't help it they're just SOOO cute!!" Ashlynn answers back looking embarrassed.

So, I get home, puppy in my bag, of course. I don't know if I should tell my mom, what would she say?! Would she even care?! Would she even notice?! Sorry, over-thinking things again. I think I should show her this, after what happened that one day.

"Mom," I come out of my room. "I have something to show you." Here goes nothing... "Yes sweetie?" I bring the puppy out of my bag, and she starts to tear up. "Mom? Are you okay??" She wipes the tears off her face and looks up at me with a smile, they were tears of joy. "Honey, that puppy, was sent by your dad. He told me before he left that he'd come back in 10 years, and he'd send a dog for a 1 day notice... Honey, YOUR FATHER IS COMING TOMORROW" I start balling.

I only saw my dad when I was 5. He left for the military and I thought I'd never see him again, I thought he'd die, I was wrong. My dad... Was coming back tomorrow.

I woke up the next morning. It was early, too early. I check my phone, Saturday 7:19 AM, why was I up so early on a Saturday? I walk out of my room, I get to the living room and my mom was on a step ladder hanging up a sign saying, "WELCOME HOME" I almost forgot, MY DAD WAS COMING HOME TODAY!!!!!!!!! I hug my mom, who was happier than I've ever saw her. For breakfast my mom made pancakes and bacon, my dad's favourite.

After we ate, she put the rest in the fridge for him. My brother woke up, not knowing anything of what was happening, he was asleep. We told him everything and, he fainted. We hear the doorbell ring.
Could it be?
