Johny

Sunday afternoon, the Peterson's decided to go home instead of wasting their time in the Jack Restaurant waiting for Mr. Peterson's cousin, Jed. They already stay there for 3 hours, but no Jed Peterson appear inside the restaurant. Mr. Peterson is busy driving the car while Mrs. Peterson is busy on her kids.

"Dad, I'm so bored! Can't we just go to the mall instead of going home?" Teresa asked on her father. Teresa Peterson is the second child and she is the only daughter in the family.

"No Teresa, your brother already need a rest. Besides, you will not buy anything in the mall. So just sit there and keep quiet." Mrs. Peterson answered to her daughter's question. Teresa just rolled her eyes and folded her arms. Such a brat.

John Peterson, the youngest of them all, just rest his back on his chair and take a deep sigh. It's very obvious that he is tired and bored.

"Dad, can we stop at the next gasoline station? I really need to pee." David Peterson, the eldest son of the Petersons, asked. All of them looked suspiciously at David.

"What? I'm not gonna ditch! Promise! I really have to pee." David said but there still a maliscious smile on his face.

"Keep that promise Dave or else I'm gonna confiscate your Wii." Mr. Peterson warned his son. David smiled and just nod.

As they reached the gasoline station, David jumped out of the car and ran towards the washroom.

"Don't ditch David Peterson!" Mr. Peterson shouted.

"Don't believe on him dad. We all know that once a David Peterson got bored, he will find a way to ditch." Teresa said to her dad but Mr. Peterson just looked at her.

All of them are quietly waiting for David and all of them are starting to be bored, especially John. He just stare outside the window and something caught his attention.

"Mom? Can I have a pet?" Out of the blue, John asked his mother. Mrs. Peterson looked confusely at his son. This is the first time that John had an interest on pets.

Since he was a kid, he doesn't want to touch or even look at the animals. So this is a surprise for the Peterson, and this could help for the medication for John.

"Yes, of course baby." Mrs. Peterson said while smiling at his son. John smiled back and jumped out of the car and ran towards the man carrying a very large dog.

"Slow down, John!" Mr. And Mrs. Peterson shouted.

"I'm okay Mom!" John answered back. But Mr. and Mrs. Peterson are really worried for John so they ran also towards him.

"Hi Mister." John greeted at the Old Man and the old man just looked at him confused.

"Ehem. I'm John Joseph Peterson, by the way." And he gave his hand to the man but he just looked at it.

"Ahmm.. do you own that dog?" John asked while pointing at the dog. The man just looked at him again and nod.

"O-okay.. do you sell it? Or is it your pet?" The man looked at the dog and he gently massaged the dog's fur.

"Ahmm. Mister? Can you hear me?" John asked while waving his hand in front of the man's face. He continously waving his hand until the man touch and gripped it.

"Aww! Mom! Dad!" John said while crying and reaching for his breath.

"Take care of Johny. Don't let yourself die. Do-don't let Johny die!" The old man said while gripping John's hand. John just cried and nod. But he doesn't understand what the man's talking about. All he can feel is his raging breath and fear.
