Septiishu's Little Girl

Gizmo <3

Jack's POV

I had just got a phone call from my Ma who informed me that Gizmo; the dog I grew up with and had been in some of my old videos sadly died. I was getting ready for the tour and was currently on the tour bus when I received the call.

I couldn't believe it. The dog that I grew up with and was featured in some of my videos and pictures was now gone. It breaks my heart how I never got the chance to say goodbye, but it made me happy to think that she had died peacefully and wasn't in any pain.

Signe comforted me as I cried into her shoulder. She rubs my backs and gave me small pecks on my cheek and neck to calm me down. Everybody else on the bus apologized for the loss of my little friend. I thanked them and they left the bus to explore the venue where we were performing. Signe stayed and continued to comfort me which made me feel a lot better.

The worst part was yet to come. I had to tell Tig that her best friend had died. But I didn't know how to. I don't have the courage to tell a 3-year old that a loving pet had gone. Thankfully, she wasn't on the bus with us at the time. Arin had taken her with him to keep her busy and gave me and Signe a chance to get ready.

I calmed myself down and looked at Signe.

"I-I can't tell Tig...I don't know how to." I say to her in tears.

She reaches up and wipes my tears away with her thumb.

"Sean, it's not going to be easy. You're just gonna have to break it to her slowly." She says.

"Poor girl's gonna be heartbroken. Her best friend is gone. We even promised her to take her to go and see him!" I say and broke down.

Signe tears up and pulls me to her chest.

"Oh, Sean..." She says.

We arrived at the venue. VIP's were currently arriving and taking their seats. I was backstage, chewing on my nails nervously. I decided to tell Tig after my VIP performance. Tig was with Signe in the dressing room. My intro started on the projector and I got myself ready and took a deep breath. The sound guys gave me thumbs up to signal to go on stage. VIP's begin to cheer and I walked on stage and waved and the crowd got louder, which made me smile.

I did my performance and waved goodbye and went into the dressing room where Signe and Tig were sat at the tables. Tig was drawing whilst Signe checked her social media. She looks up at me and I nod. She straight away understood that it was time to tell Tig. She places her phone on the table and turns towards Tig.

"Tig...Daddy has something to tell you.' She says, catching Tig's attention and she turned and looked at me.

I took a deep breath and kneeled to her height. I smiled a little and looked at her.

"Tig...Daddy got a phone call from Grandma today...and she told me some sad news." I begin to say.

She holds Woolly to her chest and listens to me.

"Now, you do know that I always say how much of a brave girl you are and that even if you fall over and cut ur knees you don't even spill a tear, but it's ok to cry after I tell you this, ok?" I say.

Tig nods.

"For a while now, Gizmo has been very poorly. Grandma and Grandad to her to the vets to get her better and they gave her some medicine to take. So, Gizmo took the medicine every day like the good girl she is. But, she got sick again so Grandma and Grandad to her to the vets again, but they couldn't give her any more medicine because it would make her worse....so they took her home to see if the medicine that they currently had would make her feel better again. But...this morning...." My voice begins to break as I said the last sentence.
