~Silver~

After that whole thing in class and all nothing pretty much happened today. Thankfully might I add. After I put everything In my locker,I walk out of the school to see jerk-face admiring my bike. I walk up to my bike and I ignore him while I grab my helmet to put it on"This is your bike?"her face says"Yup. My pride and joy thank you very much"I shoot back"Ok ok I'm sorry"he says in a low voice so anyone but me and him can't hear it"What?  Say it a little louder"I say smirking"I said I'm sorry"he says a little louder"Thank you"I say giving a small teeny smile.  I start to strap on my helmet but I'm interrupted,by your truly,jerk-face"Wait!  I apologize and I don't even get your name?"he says"Yup"I say getting my helmet fully on. I straddle my bike grabbing my keys out of my pocket"Can I have your name?"he says"Can you what?"I ask"Can I have your name?"he says again,I just give him a I'm-not-giving-you-my-name-till-you-say-it-right kinda look. He sighs a very loud and annoyed sigh"Fine. May I have your name"he says in a drag voice"Yes you may"I smile triumphantly"The names Silver. Silver June"I tell him. He smiles when I tell him my name. Man he's supposed to be the bad boy,not a sweetie. "That's a pretty name. Names Edward. Edward Jay"he says. I give him a nod and start my bike and drive home.

Once I get home I notice my dads red F150 is not in the driveway. I go into the house after I unlock the door and I notice that there is a note  on the breakfast bar. I sit down on a bar stool and read the note

"Hi honey. I know this school transition has been hard for you,so,I went to go get you the thing you want most."
                                        -Daddy

Awe. I love my daddy!  He's the best!  I sigh happy and sit on the leather couch in the living room. "The thing I want most......hmm...."I think out loud. There's plenty of things I want. Idk what specific thing he's talking about. Wait.......no......He couldn't,Would he?  He always said that we couldn't have one cause of him being away for so long and I wasn't responsible enough........if I'm thinking he's gettin what I think he's gettin,I'm gonna love him forever!!  I start getting jumpy and excited. Every time I'd hear a car pass by the house I jump to the window to see if it was my daddy. I decided I needed to watch some Netflix. I plop down on the couch after grabbing some Pringle's from the pantry. I grab the remote and turn on the tv and then start up Netflix. I'm looking threw my recently watched when I hear a car pass by. I don't think anything of it cause I'm busy trying to choose something. The one time I don't get up,I swear.....
I hear the front door open and my daddy's southern voice calls me"Silver!  I got somethin for ya!"he yells threw the house. I get up so fast off the couch that I probably looked like the flash. I get up so quick that I get dizzy but I quickly recover. I take off at a run to get to the front door. And,thanks to our hardwood floors,I slid when I try and come to a stop wince I get to the door. My dad starts laughing at me cause I almost ran into the wall. I give him a playful glare and he walks me out to his truck. He opens the door and a beautiful,all black,German Shepard jumps out and comes running to me. Something about him seems familiar. I am trying to figure where I've seen this dog before and I don't realize he is coming at full speed to me. He knocks me over and starts licking me face. I start laughing and giggling and gently trying to push him out. My dad laughs at us. After I get him off I sit up and take a long glance at the dog. One ear is up,the other down,he's pitch black,his tail is going 90 to nothin. Then,I remember where I've seen him. "Daddy!  Daddy is it really him?!"I say standing up and jumping "Yes Silver,it's really him"my daddy says with a huge smile. I give a small scream and go on my knees and throw my arms around the dogs neck. He puts his paw on my back as to give me a hug to. "Oh Freedom....I've missed you bud!"I say burring my face into his soft,silky fur. I feel a hand on my shoulder and I look up and see my dad,smiling. I jump up from around Freedom and jump into my daddy's arms for a huge bear hug. "Daddy how'd you get him?!  I thought you said that the K9 general wasn't gonna sell him!" I say"Well,he wasn't. He was going to send Freedom to be a bomb dog out in the war somewhere. But,I left right after you left for school. I drove down to the K9 base and I talked and talked to the general for at least 2 hours trying to convince him. But,the winning words were'But sir,Silver has loved this dog since he was born!  She played with him,named him,and she even taught him his first tricks!  And,I don't know if you can see it but,he trusts her. He would give his life for her. And think of him coming to live with us as a training sort of thing. She'd take him to school and get him desensitized. This is a opportunity'and after that he finally gave it. I'm so happy I finally get to see you to together again Silver"my daddy says.  I just sit there,in my daddy's arm,in shock. I can't believe I actually got my literal dream dog. Your probably wondering who this dog is,let me explain.  When I was 10 me and my dad went to the K-9 unit base in our town. My mom worked there. Well,my mommas dog,Stella,has been bred and she had a litter of 4 puppies. I took a liking to the all black one,he looked just like Stella while the other pups looked like their daddy. I named him Freedom because I knew he was going to help win over our freedom. I knew I shouldn't have gotten attached but it was way to hard. His little ears and his paws and everything else about him was way to hard not to love. I taught him his first few tricks when he was 3 months old,I played with him,I bathed him,I trained him,I was basically like his owner,then,my moms platoon got ambushed and,no one came out except Stella. Stella protected my mom the best she could but,in the end,no one could have saved them. I originally wanted Stella but the K-9 general gave her to another platoon before I could even suggest it. After that we didn't really go to the base anymore and I didnt see Freedom as much. And after a year,I didn't see him at all. He was so small last time I saw him!  Now he's to my thigh. Stella is a pretty large girl for a German Shepherd and his daddy was a pretty large dog as well,for the breed anyway. But,I'm not complaining,I ADORE big dogs,Easier to cuddle if ya ask me.  We walk inside the house and I jump on the couch and Freedom follows on my heels. I lay down on the couch,reveling in the feeling of a warm body laying next to me. Then,it hits me. We don't got ANYTHING for him!  I sit straight up"DADDY!!!"I yell"What is it?!"he yells back"WE GOTTA GO TO PETSMART!  FREEDOM DOESNT HAVE ANYTHING!"i yell back at him"OK!"he yells. Yay!  Shopping trip!! 
I HATE shopping for me but,when it comes to animals,I LOVE shopping!
