I grabbed Aspen's leash before calling her over to get ready for our walk.
"Aspen, want to go for a walk?" I asked, she excitedly ran over to me and I smiled.
She had gotten so much bigger over the years, being a Husky. I remember getting her when I was still with...
I felt a wave of pain hit me as I thought back on that time in my life.
I quickly put her leash on and opened the door, noticing how dark the sky looked.
I was skeptical about leaving, but she was so happy, so I just grabbed my black trenchcoat. I pulled it around my body, buttoning it before walking out the door.
We started our walk as my mind began to drift back on my time with him.

I've got those jet pack blues
Just like Judy

The kind that make June feel like September
I'm the last one that you'll ever remember

I shook my head, trying to erase that stupid boy from my memory.
Ever since I left, he had been the only person that I had been thinking about.
It's ironic, really.
You know, you try so hard to get someone off your mind and forget them, and suddenly they're all you can think about.
I sighed as Aspen pulled me over to a patch of grass so she could roll around . I smiled as she kicked her paws up and rolled on her back.
I felt a drop of rain and I decided that I was going to cut the walk short. I pulled at her leash and she got the idea.
We walked slowly so she could at least spend a little time outside. Once we got back, I went to feed her before realising that we were out of food.
I closed my eyes as my head felt like it was pounding.
Maybe it was the sound of the rain falling harder, or maybe it was him. Either way, I tried to shake it off and grabbed my keys.
I walked out to my car, pulling my hood up. I started my car, shutting my door quickly to keep the interior from getting wet. I pulled out of the driveway and made my way towards the highway.
My head still felt awful so I tried to clear my head.

And I'm trying to find my piece of mind
Behind these two white highway lines

When the city goes silent
The ringing in my ears gets violent

As my mind drifted to thoughts of him, I absent-mindedly started to speed up, going at least ten over the speed limit. The rain against my window shield making it more difficult to see.
My lights seemed to shine brighter as my wind shield wipers were fast against the glass.
A car pulled out in front of me, taking away my thoughts, and causing me to slam the break. My breath quickening as my life seemed to just have flashed. I watched my speed from then on, worried that I might get into an accident now.
I thought back to the fact as my life had seemingly flashed before my eyes, the best part was watching me with him. Then came the tears, falling silently from my cheeks.
I wiped them away as I got off at my exit. My attention full on the road, I let the memories fade.
I pulled into the lot of the pet store and parked. I put my hood back on before running through the rain.

She's in a long black coat tonight
Waiting for me in the downpour outside

She's singing "Baby, come home" in a melody of tears
While the rhythm of the rain keeps time

I stopped as I reached the sidewalk, walking slower now. I opened the door and was greeted by the older woman behind the counter.
I smiled weakly before searching for the food. Knowing my way around, I found it quickly.
As I walked to the counter, I heard laughing. I picked my head up and looked at a couple in the corner, looking at kittens behind their locked cages. The woman turned and kissed her boyfriend as they talked to a salesman who opened the cage.
I diverted my attention, feeling it start to hit me that I would never have that.
Or maybe it was that I already had.
