My dog 4

Chapter 1
Rewind
So, starting the second week of school seeing Abby made me want to cry. I’m just going to rewind it back to the beginning of the summer.
“Like, eating an ice cream cone on a hot day.” I said while laughing.
“Yeah,” Andrea said while laughing too.
Then I was glancing around the park for a minute.
“Wait……a minute is that Abby?”I asked.
“Yeah….lets go the other way.” Andrea said while pulling me the other direction.
I pulled away from her and asked, “If that is Abby, then what the hell is she doing with the B Boys?”
“Yeah I don’t know…………now c’mon Sara lets go……….get something to eat……..please Sara lets get out of here.” Andrea stuttered.
I kept looking at Abby then stared back at Andrea.
“C’mon Sara lets go.” she said again while trying to push me the other direction.
I backed up and screamed “No, don’t touch me…..leave me alone……I need to find Krista to tell her what I saw.”
Then I ran. I needed to tell Krista what I saw and when I saw it.
“Sara…….Sara………..SARA.” Andrea shouted.
I found Krista by her mail box looking at the mail.
“K….Krista.” I said while panting.
“What’s the matter with you?” Krista asked.
“It’s….it’s Abby.” I said.
“Did she get in a fight? Or even worse an accident?” Krista asked.
“No, she is hanging out with the B Boys.” I said.
“What?” Krista shouted.
“She……..she is hanging out with the B Boys.” I said again.
“No…..No…….NO.” Krista shouted.
She fell to her hands and knees and began to cry. I grabbed on to her and push her towards me.
“Shhh……shhh it’s going to be okay we will get through this.” I said.
“How do you know?” Krista asked.
Then she ran in her house slammed the door right behind her.
“Krista….Krista.” I shouted.
I ran after her found her lying on her bed crying.
“Krista, you are right I don’t know, but If Abby was here right now she wouldn’t want you to feel sad…..or even think negative thoughts.” I said trying to hold back my tears.
I walked over to her and started to remove her hair from her face and rubbed her back.
“She will be back in no time you will see.” I whispered.
Chapter 2
I’m Mad, but who doesn’t Care?
“Krista, I have to go it is late, but see you tomorrow.” I said.
“No, please don’t leave………..we could…….. have a slumber party or something…….just please don’t leave me right now.” Krista pleaded.
I took a sigh and said, “I can’t stay, but I will wait for you to go to sleep.”
“Okay,” Krista whispered.
After she went to sleep I covered her up, turned off the light and looked back.
I whispered, “I’m so sorry.”
When I was walking down the stairs, I was on my way out until I heard my name.
“Sara,” Mrs. Duff said.
I turned around.
“Yes madam.” I said.
“Do you know what time is it?” Mrs. Duff asked.
“Yes I do, it is eleven.” I replied.
“Is there something wrong with my daughter that you had to stay so late?” Mrs. Duff asked.
I gave no response I looked at the ground then I looked at the door.
“Sara please tell me.” Mrs. Duff pleaded.
“Yes,” I replied.
“What is it?” Mrs. Duff asked.
“I’m sorry, but I’m in no position to tell you that,” I said, “I’m a good friend to your daughter so I don’t want to run to her mother every time she has a problem so, until then Krista has to handle this problem by herself, and for now I will always be by her side to help her if she gets stuck, and she will come to you when she is ready to talk about it.”
“You are right you are a very good friend to my daughter. But why don’t I see you coming over anymore?” asked Mrs. Duff.
“I have been busy lately with other things.” I replied.
“What other things?” Mrs. Duff asked.
“Well, I better be going now my dad is probably worried about me.” I said.
“Sara,” Mrs. Duff said.
“Yes,” I replied.
“Don’t be a stranger now.” Mrs. Duff replied.
“I won’t.” I said
Then walked out the door Mrs. Duff watched me leave and shut the door right behind me.
Krista called me at 6:30 in the morning on a Saturday.
“Hello,” I said while yawning.
“Sara, I had a horrible dream that Abby was hanging out with the B Boys.” Krista panicked.
“Well, pinch yourself that is real.” I said.
“Sara, what am I going to do?” asked Krista.
“Krista, she is your friend stuff like that should come easy to you.” I replied.
“Sara, meet me in five.” Krista said.
“Minutes?” I asked.
“Yes, minutes.” Krista replied.
“I can’t….I’m tired so you are on your own, bye.” I said
“Bye,” Krista whispered.
I felt really bad, but it was my summer too. At seven I called Andrea.
“Hello,” Andrea said.
“Are you up?” I asked.
“Yes of course.” Andrea replied.
“Well, I’m really worried about Krista, could you meet her?” I asked.
“Is this about Abby?” Andrea asked.
“Yes,” I replied.
“Look, Sara there is nothing we can do that will make Abby change her mind, she made a decision so live with it.” Andrea said.
“Andrea…” I said.
She hung up the phone. At the door was Krista.
“Andrea doesn’t care does she?” Krista asked.
“Krista,” I said.
“I could be dying…..” Krista said starting to cry.
“………….And she wouldn’t care.” Krista cried.
Krista ran and I started to run after her.
“Krista….KRISTA.” I shouted.
I grabbed her.
“I’m upset, Abby is hanging out with a gang, and it is all Andrea’s fault.” Krista cried.
I held her and said, “It is nobodies fault, but Abby’s shhh….it is going to be okay.”
Chapter 3
Who’s Blaming Who?

I feel like I’m in a bad horror movie. I can’t keep doing this running after Krista, god I wish Abby was here to do her job. Now I just feel like I took that over.
So I was riding my bike and then I saw Rachel, Krista, and Andrea in the park.
“Yes you did!” Krista exclaimed.
“No I didn’t!” Andrea shouted.
“Well, then how did Abby get in a gang?” asked Rachel.
“And you think I did that?” Andrea asked.
“Hey, hey what is going on?” I asked.
“Andrea did it” exclaimed Rachel.
Andrea just rolled her eyes.
“Did what?” I asked.
“Oh they think I had something to do with Abby going in a gang which, I didn’t maybe that’s why she left, because she realize she had crappy friends.” Andrea said.
“No that’s not…..” Krista started to say.
“Krista shut up,” I said, “I had enough!”
Krista ran and Rachel just starred at me.
“I might not be smart,” Rachel said, “But I do know when a friend is turning their back on their friends.”
“Rachel,” I said.
“No, Save it.” Rachel said.
“But I do believe Andrea didn’t do it.” I said.
She just walked away from me.
Chapter 4
Come Back
“Andrea,” I said, “I believe you.”
Andrea hugged me, “I knew you would.” she said.
“But why are they against you?” I asked.
“I don’t know, they are just stupid I guess.” Andrea replied.
“You really don’t care do you?” I asked while pushing her away.
“Well, who would?” Andrea asked.
“They’re my friends and I thought their were yours too!” I exclaimed.
“That’s what they want.” Andrea said.
“What?” I asked.
She went over by me and put her arm around me and with the other hand she was putting the hair that fell out of ponytail behind my ears.
“They want you to get mad at me and then ruin our friendship again and this time I’m not going to let that happen.” Andrea said.
“Look, I have to go.” I said.
Andrea’s friend was walking up when I left.
“Hey,” she said
“Hey,” Andrea said.
“Is she in?” she asked.
“Not yet,” Andrea said, “But she will be.”
They began laughing.
Krista was in the park sitting on the bench and saw Abby so therefore she decided to go up to her.
“Abby we need to talk!” Krista demanded.
“No we don’t!” Abby yelled.
“Well, then just listen!” Krista demanded.
Krista took a sigh and then said, “We need you, you might not need us, but I know Rachel and I need you like we need air that is how badly we need you, we are lost without you.”
“No you don’t so, don’t come here and tell me more lies.” Abby yelled.
“I’m not lying…..I mean this isn’t you……..you would have never turned to a world of drugs leave your friends……. out in the cold…..Abby I miss you like Sara misses her mother…..just……just come back.” Krista cried.
“Well, Andrea explained it perfectly,” Abby said, “You know what just save It for someone that cares oh, where did I here that before?”
“Abby……” Krista cried.
Abby walked away and lit a cigarette.
“No….ABBY….NO!” Krista shouted.
Just watching her walk away like that just made Krista cry.

Chapter 5
Let the Tears Fall
“Well,” Rachel said.
“She is not coming back.” Krista said.
“What?” Rachel asked.
“I mean she’s gone……..forever.” Krista cried.
I was walking out of the park heading home.
“Sara,” Billy said.
I completely ignored him until he grabbed me.
“Let go of me!” I demanded.
“Shhh…….shhh calm down.” Billy said.
“I don’t want to be in your group.” I said.
“No, its not that I want your friend out of there.” Billy said.
“Let go of me you are hurting me.” I said.
He completely ignored me.
“Because she is one of those good girls that will feel bad and will try to get out of things so here is the thing sweetheart if she is with you she won’t be able to go by us.” Billy said.
“Ow….What are you talking about?” I asked.
“She’s going to die,” Billy said, “I mean she won’t survive.”
“Let go of me!” I demanded.
“Nice talking to you sweet heart.” Billy said.
Then he pushed me on the ground and walked away while laughing.
Chapter 6
Friends….
I was trying not to cry, holding my wrists seeing bruises on them it was painful and all because I was losing one special friend. I know I’m supposed to tell Krista what just happened and what I’m suppose to do. But why am I so afraid? The pain in my wrists got worse, it kept on throbbing and a tear came down from my eyes.
“Sara…Sara.” Krista shouted.
I stopped and wipe any tears that were coming down before Krista saw them.
“I saw you talking to Billy, what did he want?” Krista asked.
“He wanted….” I started to say.
“Is it Abby? Is she okay? Is she hurt?’ Krista asked.
“Yes….I don’t know…..not yet.” I said.
“What do you mean?” asked Krista.
“She is going to die, because she is going to try to get out,” I cried, “He knows it too, so if she doesn’t start hanging out with us again, she may die so we have to stay away from her then we can save her life.”
“Sara, I can’t do what you are asking me.” Krista said.
“Then watch her die!” I yelled.
Krista went to give me a hug I ducked and then I ran crying. I ran to the lake in the park on the hill then I just broke down. My wrists hurt so badly. Why is Krista being so stubborn? Not everything is about her, about what she wants or her desires I want Abby too, but that doesn’t count does it. Am I being a bad friend? I’m trying to save her life.
“Rachel,” Krista said.
“What’s wrong? Are you okay? Is it Abby?” Rachel asked.
“No, not everything is okay Sara told me to stay away from Abby…” Krista cried, “…….Abby is going to die and there is nothing I can do about it”
When I was still crying there was a girl behind me it was Rachel.
“Rachel…” I sniffled.
“Sara, why did you ask Krista to stay away from Abby?” Rachel asked.
“You don’t understand I want her to come back as badly as you do, but you and I know that is not going to happen,” I cried, “So, if we talk to her someday she will feel bad and try to get out.”
“Sara….” Rachel said.
Rachel hugged me really tightly.
“Why is it so hard to believe that Andrea did this to Abby?” Rachel asked.
“Because Andrea is my best friend and I…..love her” I cried while pushing her away.
Rachel said, “I’m sorry about everything, but Andrea is a bad friend to have.”
I was not trying to look in Rachel’s eyes. Rachel saw the bruises on my wrists, and grabbed one of my wrists.
“What happen? Who did this to you?” Rachel asked.
I gave no response. Rachel gave me a hug.
“Sara please talk to me…Sara I beg you….oh god please talk to me.” Rachel pleaded and tears filled her eyes.
I was just in Rachel’s arms crying.
Chapter 7
….Forever
I felt sorry for Krista, but I didn’t know what to do. I never saw Krista so emotional in my life.
“Krista,” I said, “I don’t…”
I just started to cry.
“Sara, I want to talk to Abby maybe it will do some good, you are just afraid.” Krista said.
“Alright,” I whispered.
Krista left and I just continued to break down. She ran into Andrea.
“Krista, why are you trying to blame this on me?” asked Andrea.
“Because…”Krista started.
“Know what I think you are jealous of me and Sara, because we are best friends and you don’t have one.” Andrea said.
“You did it, I know you did it Abby said so.” Krista yelled.
“Whatever,” Andrea said while rolling her eyes.
Andrea then walked away.
“You did it!” Krista shouted.
“She’s gone forever.” Krista whispered.
Krista just started to break down.
Chapter 8
I Need You
I was sitting at my desk thinking about Abby so I grabbed out a piece of paper and pencil and began writing my feelings down about missing her, but I didn’t know how to tell Abby. After I was through with writing the letter I folded it up, and thought maybe I will just throw it out the window maybe it will get to her as like it is in the movies but this is not like the movies. So the wind took it away, and then I put my hand over my heart and looked up at the night sky and said “I don’t know which star I should wish upon, but please make the wish I hold in my heart come true.” I closed my eyes then the phone rang.
“Sara phone!” my dad shouted.
“I will be right there!” I shouted.
I ran down stairs it was Andrea.
•
The letter landed in the tree Abby was around my neighbor hood and was walking down my street then there was a harder wind then blew it by her feet. She then picked it up and was going to read it; it said:
Dear Abby,
I know you will never read this, but you deserve to know how I and the others feel.
•
“Hello,” I said.
“Hey Sara,” she said.
“Oh hey what’s sup?” I asked.
“Nothing much just André is like so hot.” Andrea giggled.
•
But how are you anyways? I don’t know how you did it, I mean caring about everyone at once. I can’t be you……
•
“Your brother?” I asked
“No, “Andrea said, “The guy you sit by in home room.”
•
I mean I can’t run after the people you once cared about to tell them everything is going to be o.k. when it is really not.
•
“Oh, that guy is not hot.” I said.
“Yes he is, he is like steaming hot.” Andrea said.
•
So listen how much I need you, I know you are not coming back. You taught me to let go of the people that I care about so, I have to let go of you, and as hard as that seems I can’t do it but I will try. To let you know no one is going to forget you neither am I. So I do listen to your lectures.
•
“No, he is not he is sexy.” I giggled.
•
I know you quit being our friend, but nobody will quit being yours.
From your friend,
Sara Johnson
•
“Yeah that is true….oh my god he is so sexy!”Andrea screamed.
I just began laughing.
Andrea began singing a random song about falling in love. I just laughed louder.

•
A tear rolled down Abby’s cheek, Abby then wiped it away really fast then, crumpled up the letter and threw it in the trash can and began walking faster.

Chapter 9
What am I doing?
“Hey listen Andrea.” I said.
“What?” Andrea asked
“I got to go; I think I’m going for a walk to the park.” I said.
“Sara, it is seven thirty at night.” Andrea said.
“I know,” I said.
“Then I’m gonna go with you.” Andrea said.
“NO!” I shouted.
There was a pause.
“I mean no I want to be alone.” I said.
“Oh o.k. bye.” Andrea said.
“Bye,” I whispered.
“C’mon Skyler we are going for a walk…..c’mon good girl.” I said.
I then put a leash on her. We began walking to the park where I knew I was going to find Krista. When I finally arrived at the park, I found Krista the same way as I left her today.
“Krista,” I said while watching her break down in front of me.
“I’m sorry,” I cried,” You are right I am afraid about what is going to happen because Abby was my friend too.”
I then began looking at the ground then back at Krista.
“You should help her because you were closer to her then I was all I did was listen to her lectures.” I giggled.
“What am I doing?” Krista asked while itching one of my dog’s ears.
“Being you,” I said, “Being you.”
“I feel like I could do more.” Krista said.
I bend down and started petting Skyler and said,” All you can do is listen to your heart and I know you will do what is best for you and Abby.”
“I don’t know what that is.” Krista said.
“You are her friend things like that should come natural to you; I mean you are like Abby’s best friend.” I said.
Krista stared into the lake.
“Krista, I have to go it is late and I think you should be heading home too.” I said.
“No, I think I’m just going to chill here for a little while.” Krista said.
“Oh okay, but not too long you need your rest it has been a long day for us all,” I said, “C’mon Skyler lets go.”

Chapter 10
Summer is almost over, but where is Abby
I give up Abby is superwoman and I’m just Sara Johnson. Summer is almost over we still don’t have Abby back. God I miss the smell of her perfume. Krista is getting better though three more weeks until school.
“Hey, Sara what are you doing?” Andrea asked.
“Nothing much just drawing this picture.” I said.
“Oh may I see it?” Andrea asked.
“Ummmm…..” I said.
She grabbed it away from me.
“But it is not finish.” I said.
“It is like really good,” Andrea said, “So are you ready for school to start.”
“Surprisingly yes.” I said.
Abby walked pass and she said, “Hi.”
I don’t have any idea why she did that.
“Shouldn’t you be with your mom right now?” I asked.
“Yes, but every time I go into a hospital I faint.” Andrea said.
“Oh I see, but I think it would have been nice if u were there for your mom right now even knowing that you faint, because I think your mom needs you right now or will even put a smile on her face knowing you were there.” I replied.
Andrea sat there day dreaming for a few seconds.
I asked, “Is it a girl or a boy?”
“What?” Andrea asked.
“I mean is your mom giving birth to a girl or a boy?” I repeated the question.
“Oh……a girl.” Andrea replied.
“Does your mom have a name pick out for her?” I asked.
“Yes, “Andrea replied, “It is Yolanda Sophia Sanchez.”
“That is a beautiful name.” I said.
“Yeah it is.” Andrea said with a smirk.


Chapter 11
I don’t know……

“Um…Sara,” Andrea said nervously.
“What’s wrong?” I asked.
“Nothing,” Andrea replied.
“Then what?” I asked.
“We are friends right?” she asked.
“Yes, Why?” I asked.
“We can tell each other anything?” she asked.
“Correct,” I replied.
“Remember when we met?” she asked.
“Yes, I remember,” I said, “Brittany, Kasey, and Colleen were there. I remember it so well as if it was yesterday. Do you remember that sleep over I had?”
“Oh yeah that was rad.” Andrea giggled.
“Sara…..” Andrea said.
“What is it?” I asked.
“I want things how they use to be.” Andrea said.
“What are you getting at?” I asked.
“”I’m trying to say I want you to hang out with me and colleen again.” Andrea replied.
I just stared into her eyes really deeply.
“So what do you say?” Andrea asked.
“I don’t know,” I said, “I don’t know.”
