Half Past Forever

Chapter 2

Acacia-

When i got home i decided to take some medicine and took a nap. I had a weird dream about Sam. We were dating and then we went to a Justin bieber concert. I dont remember the rest though.

When i was fully awake, I went downstairs and made scrambled eggs. While I was eating, the doorbell rang.

"Hello?" I murmured.

"Hey, Acacia?" Sam said when i opened the door more.

"Oh. Hey. Yeah. Uh hi," i said realizing how bad i looked infront of him.

"Why are you here? I mean, not that I dont want you here. You can come in. If you want."

"Well uhm, i like you borrow my textbook. I kinda need it back to study."

"Oh. Yeah sure let me go get it."

I got a little sad when he said that. I hoped he came to ask me out.

I searched all over my messy kitchen table and finally found it under piles of papers. When I ran to the door, he was inside my house.

"Here. Sorry."

"Its fine. Ill uh see you at school."

"Okay! Bye!" I exclaimed.

I go into Poochies little room but she wasnt there. I just figured shes hiding. I climbed up the stairs the same way i did when i was a kid.

"Oh my god. Poochie?" I said in astonishment. I walk over to her, shake her, and she doesnt move.

"What the fuck..." I thought. Shes dead. My dog. Just.... died. I feel a few tears rub down my warm cheek.

"If i tell my mom, she'll come home. If i dont, she'll never know until she comes home.

I take poochie to the backyard and pit her on the canopy. I break into tears realizing how much ill miss her. "Why does everything happen to me.

I ran inside to post about my loss on facebook. It got 97 likes in 5 minutes. Wow. My phone started ringing so i ran across the room just in time ti answer it.

"Hello?" It was Sam!

"Hey, Sam."

"Sorry bout your dog. Anyways, i was wonderin if you wanted to go out? Tonight maybe?"

"Oh. Uh sure."

"kay. Ill pick you up tonight then. Bye," So my dog dies, and all he says is sorry? i mean yea im excited but my dog just died. And he asks me out? Well, this may be my only chance. Im really surprised that not im crying so much. Ive always imagined the day she died i would cry my eyes out.

I walk up the stairs and turn on Ke$ha's new song, Die Young.

"I heart your heart beat to the beat of the drums, oh what a shame that you came here with someone. So while youre here in my arms..." I scream while getting dressed.

It takes me a while to find what too wear. i get some skinning jeans and slid in them. Then i get my favorite V-neck shirt. I slip on a new Victoria Seceret bra and then pu my shirt on. I head to the bathroom and put some make-up on. Right when i finished, the doorbell rang.

"Hey Acacia. Ready?"
