(Completed) Sadness

Part 10 - Broken

Listen to 'scientist' by cold play

Kal's P.O.V

My heart dropping in my chest of what i was told. Not even responding i hang up the phone slamming it on the bench. Thoughts began to rush through my mind as i dashed through the doors of the diner. I heard my name called but ignored it. I dashed down the busy late afternoon street weaving through the few furs in front of me. I could hear patters of feet behind me but i only speed up. My heart was beating fast. The reminence of Chloe's shaky voice made my tears well to my eyes as i rounded a corner.

I was full of worry and concern as i stopped at the street. Staring toward's the house there were a police and ambulance out the front of the house. My tears almost breaking the surface i sprint to the house.

Chloe's sounded like she was crying on the phone, all she said was 'come to the house, something's happened'

I feel like my heart was being tugged as I ran over the front door of the house. I stood, staring, not daring to knock. I managed to bring up my shaking hand and hit the door.

Chloe came to the door, she had bags under her eyes and tissues in her hand. I could hear the chatter from the other room which filled me full of curiosity and worry with tears welled to the surface.

I stood in the door way but choke had moved me out of the way as a Elk pushed a trolley towards the ambulance. My heart stopped for a moment as Vixen on the end of the trolley pulled the sheet over my mothers face.

Suddenly I was short of breath, I couldn't breathe, I started to panic and I fell onto my knees. Tears began to stream from my face and I fell to the floor.

I was court in warm familiar arms, stopping me from hitting the pavement. "Gareth" I managed to whisper as I regain my breath.

Looking into his sky blue eyes, it almost made the world seem like it didn't exist. They dulled the pain I felt in mu chest as I cried.

He pulled me into his warm embrace allowing me to sob into his shoulder.

Why does everything I care about slip from my grasp. Taken away and never to be held again.

"Shhh shhh" Gareth said rocking me back and forth patting my head calming me down.

I don't know how long it was but once the emergency vehicles left the seen I was able to control myself better.

Chloe came over to me. she told me that she died after going into cardiac arrest after she had a heart attack she also told me what they were going to do with her but I didn't listen. I didn't want to do anything.

Before she left to go home she said that the funeral will be held in a couple of days, and for me to be there.

I never like funerals, it was a means of say our final goodbyes. I never liked goodbyes either, they always left me sad. I've always ratcheted people to just fade from my life.

After Chloe left Gareth grabbed my paw and took me back home where I can have time to myself.

The walk was miserable, every car that drove past made me want to step out in front of it. Although I don't condone suicide I alway believed I could run away from anything, turns out you can't run away from your feelings.

We got to our house and Gareth unlocked the dot with his keys, he pulled me in side and into the kitchen. "I know what will make you feel better" he said trying to produce the positive energy I have when others feel sad, "Cake"

He grabbed the left over cake from the fridge and took off the cling wrap before placing it in front of me with a spoon.

He came around and gave me a tight generous hug, I got the warm feeling of love inside and never wanted to let go again.

Gareth pulled away, "I'll let you eat your cake" he said giving me a kiss on the cheek before leaving to the lounge room.

I ate my cake silently trying not to think. I peered across the table to where my eyes were drawin to the letter. Reaching over I grabbed it and opened it. Tears fell from my eyes onto the paper as memories of my mother flooded back.

It was a letter from Husten High School, one of the leading schools on the whole state. My mum encouraged me to push myself and to do that I was to apply for one of the leading schools. I chose Husten, I don't know why but I could always see myself wearing there uniform.

The letter basically told me they wanted me to join them through my last year of schooling. At least that was what I planned to do.

I wiped my face from my tears that had matted down my fur before crunching it up, eating the rest of my cake and going to bed. Leaving the letter lonely on the bench.

I slid under the covers crawling into a ball with my tail wrapped around my legs. I was cold, tired and wet from my tears.

I heard the door open and a pair of soft padded feet come into the room. Gareth climbed onto the bed next to me before wrapping his arms around me.

I had that warm feeling in my chest again. It gave me a hint of hope. Reminding me that time will heal all wounds.

He gave me a soft kiss on the cheek before burying his snout into my neck fur. I was warm. I slowly began to drift to sleep as I relaxed into his arms.
