nine | when everything goes terribly

TRINITY

I wake up by myself.

Not in the arms of the man I love but by myself in a cold bed.

I get up and head to the restroom to brush my teeth.

After I finish brushing my teeth, I change into my comfortable clothes.

Sweats.

My favorite.

But the hoodie I'm wearing is Aaron's hoodie that he left here.

I walk to the kitchen, say good morning to Cleo as I spot Aaron.

I walk over to him, and I notice he made french toast.

"Good morning Amore." He greets me by placing a kiss on my lips.

"Good morning." I smile, lazily.

"Are you hungry? I made french toast." His eyes make contact with mine and it melts my heart.

"Yeah, I'm hungry-"

I get interrupted by a whine from Cleo.

I look down and frown when more whines come from Cleo.

"I'll eat in a minute, I'm going to take Cleo out." I begin to walk away from Aaron but he pulls me back for a quick kiss.

I smile as I actually pull away from the kiss and walk to my front door to take Cleo out.

I slide my feet into my sandals and open my front door to let Cleo out to do her business.

I watch her as I always do.

Everything is normal.

She's done doing her business and she begins to walk back to the house like she usually does.

But then there's a loud noise in the distance.

I didn't expect what happened next to happen but it did.

Cleo runs off and adrenaline rushes in me like it hasn't before.

Cleo's faster than me. There's no way I can catch up to her. It's impossible.

"Cleo! No!" I yell, scream, to try to get her to come back as I begin running after her.

I chase her but I don't catch up to her.

I chase her until I feel like I'm about pass out.

I can't see her anymore.

I don't even feel the tears falling down my face. I try to catch my breath, I try to look for her in the distance but I can't. I can't.

Your fucking pathetic Trinity. Pathetic.

Oh my god. Shut the fuck up Jared.

Oh my god. Oh my god. Oh my god.

Cleo. Cleo. Cleo. Cleo.

No. No. No. No. No. No.

I hear the sobs come out of me and I can feel my heart shattering as I register that my dog ran away.

She ran away.

I'm about to collapse but I feel familiar arms wrap around me.

Aaron.

I turn around and bury my head into his chest and just sob.

I don't know how long we stand there, hugging, but eventually he carries me back to my house.

He sits me on the couch as I continue to ugly cry.

He brings me a plate of french toast and feeds me it.
