A journey with a dog

*SORRY FOR ANY MISTAKES*

{3 months before}

"I can't wait!" I exclaimed squirming in my seat as the car drove on a steady dirt road. I was so excited and I couldn't keep still. Today was the day when I was getting my new puppy. She was so cute! She was a Jack Russell with short legs and a very small body. She was the color of white and brown and had a heart shaped patch of brown on her body.

I saw her on the website cow country where they sold all jack Russell's from breeding parents. I chose her specifically and I have been waiting for months to get her.

Today I was missing school so I could drive up to the airport and get her. I was really happy to get her and also to miss school. I wasn't exactly popular so missing school was a reward to me.

"Mom! When are we gonna get there," I asked excitedly.

"About fifteen minutes," my mom responded with the same smile as mine.

I screamed really loud with joy.

"Hailey calm down!" My stepfather said.

I glared at him. I hated him. He wasn't my dad! He didn't deserve my mom. My mom was a kind hearted woman with a great attitude towards everything while my stupid stepfather Rick, was a butt hole and always negative with things. He yelled at me for no reason like he was my father, but be isn't so he needs to leave this family.

It doesn't matter, soon I would be 18 and I could leave and go to college. I will never come home for the holidays and I will make sure I can take my dog to college with me, I would never leave my precious puppy with a vicious creature like my stepfather.

I rolled my eyes at him when he turned back around. Not even he could ruin this day.

We entered into the parking lot and I could barley hide my excitement. Right as my mom put her car in park I opened the door and slammed it close behind me. I rushed towards the entrance of the airport.

"Hailey, you need to control yourself," My stepfather scolded me.

"Don't tell me what to do!" I snapped back at him. "You're not my dad so you cant tell me what to do! Don't ruin this day for me!"

"Hailey! I know this new adjustment has been hard for you but-" he began.

"Oh shut up! We all know you caused my fathers death! All because you wanted to come into this family!" I yelled at him. I left them before my mom could protest and yell at me. I didn't deserved to be yelled at!

*3 months later* (Present day)

"Why do I have to go!?" I whined looking at my mom.

"Because were a family," my mom answered with a frown.

"We're not a family! Rick is not my dad. He's a fake and no matter what he does, I will never love him like I did dad!" I screeched.

"I'm not expecting you to love him like you did your father, but you need to work things out with him, he's now the replacement of your father," my mothers words slipped out of her mouth.

"Replacement? Dad will never be replaced by that asshole!" I screamed tears streaming down my face. How could my mom even say what she did. Rick, a jerkoff is now replacing my father, the kind man who tucked me in bed every night, the man that did everything with me while my mother was at works always. My mother was a shame to me, she is a woman I don't even know anymore.

Before she could yell at me for cursing out Rick I shouted, "Don't ever talk to me. You should be ashamed of yourself, Go to hell, then when I go to heaven, dad and I wont have to look at you, a disgrace!" I went to my room and slammed my door.
