___________________________
I walked through my house, searching for everything I needed. This camping trip was my favorite which made me the happiest I usually could be. Jack and I have gone on this day every year since we met. Constantly we would go at this time because this time of year was when it started raining. We loved the rain. I packed my long sleeve striped shirts and my jeans. I shoved a few pairs of sweatpants into my bag and a couple sweatshirts. We usually stayed for about a week. My heart beat softly as I grabbed my pillow jack and I always shared. I smiled lightly to myself hugging it for a second, my cheek rested on the soft sheet as I closed my eyes for just a moment. I fluffed it before packing it on top of my clothes. My toothbrush was on my table already in a plastic bag and my toothpaste was waiting next to it. I threw them on top of everything along with my sunglasses. I never didn't bring them. I shoved enough pairs of boxers into the corner of my bag, not bothering to fold any clothes. I slammed the top shut as I zipped it with no problem; I never packed enough to make it overflow. I pushed my portable phone charger into the pouch on the outside of my bag. I shoved my phone into my pocket looking around my room for anything else I would pack. I shrugged rushing to the stairs, stomping down letting my bag slam against every step, startling Rosie.
"Hello beautiful girl" I said happy to see her. My least favorite part of going away was missing Rosie. I rubbed her all over kissing the tip of her nose gently. I tugged my bag to the front door all ready for when Nick showed up to take us to jacks house. I run back to the kitchen grabbing a pb&j sandwich from the fridge, slumping onto the couch. Rosie ran to me jumping beside me, resting her head on my lap gently. I smile softly at her scraggly head and bare tummy. I scratch at her belly lightly waiting for Nick to get home.
