It was seven in the morning and I fumbled out bed. I was thinking to myself, Why did I get up so early on a SATURDAY. I was so tired, I tried to go back to bed but that didn’t help. “Uhhhhhh!” I let out a big groan walking down the hallway. “SHHHHH!” I heard Vinny hiss from his bed. “Shut up” I said softly walking away. “I heard that!” Vinny yelling from his bed. “It was meant to be heard!” I said as I approached the stairs. After that lovely conversation, I trudged down stairs dragging my feet and almost tripped down the stairs but I made it without tripping. I went down another set of stairs and then turned on the Xbox. I didn’t know what to do so I stared at the home screen for like five minutes. I walked up stairs again and poured myself a bowl of cereal. After that I went up stairs to see what Vinny was doing. He was just waking up to and was crawling out of his bed. He must of left his glasses on when he was sleeping because his glasses were crooked on his face. “ What are you looking at.” He said with a yawn. Then he realized he left his glasses on. “ I’m going down stairs to play Xbox, don’t try to join my game” He said with a groan. “Okay I wasn’t gonna play it anyways Idiot.” I said to Vinny irritated that all he thinks of is Xbox. “ No you’re the idiot!” he yelled at me from down stairs. “Right back at ya” I whispered to myself So after that I went to go see what dad was doing. So I walked to dad’s room to see what he was doing. “ Good Morning dad.” I said but I didn’t get a reply. I heard someone crying in the room, it didn’t sound like dad more like a woman crying. I walked into the room to see what was happening. It was my Mom who was crying but I didn’t know why. Then Mom moved out of the way and then I saw something. It was beloved dog Bacci lied right in front of me. Her eyes were pitch black, lifeless. She just layed there motionless I stood there motionless. “ Domenic Bacci has um passed” My mom said. Then Vinny walked into the room and then he just stood there to just motionless. Vinny and I started to bawl and bawl. Now to this day I’ve had Bacci, In ashes, on a mantel above the fireplace. Now I’ll always have Bacci with me. Dead or alive. I was in my room playing with some of my toys with my brother having a great time. My dog,Charlie, was barking at something maybe a squirrel or a person. My mom was cooking something in the kitchen listening to music.
It was about time to let Charlie in, She's been out there for a while now. My mom walked to the door and opened it up but Charlie dashed into the trees chasing a squirrel. "CHARLIE!" my mom shouted and almost ran out the door. "What's going on!" I said as I ran down the stairs. " Charlie just ran into the bushes and behind the house and now she won't come!" My Mom said. "Let me try" I said with confidence that Charlie would come to my voice "Charlie!, Charlie!" I yelled I heard some trees and bushes rustle and out came Charlie trotting like it was all normal. But it wasn't normal. Charlie had a big gash on the side of her stomach. Charlie whimpered as blood oozed from her side. "We need to get her to a vet FAST!" I said worried. "tag you're it!" My cousin Jack shouted from down the hall. The rest of my cousins and my brother Vinny scattered for a hiding spot. We were playing hide and go seek tag and Mason was it, another cousin. Mason searched the house for someone but nothing. "NO!" Vinny shouted I think he's it. So hear the high pitched screech and stay where I was. A couple minutes past and Vinny was still looking around because I didn't here any screams or running.
Then I heard Vinny walk up to the closet, I knew it was Vinny, who would want hats or gloves in the summer. The doors open and there stood my brother smiling down at me and tag me on the shoulder " You're it!" and took off. I chased him down the hall up and down the stairs and in and out of rooms. Finally I was catching up and finally tagged but a little to hard. I celebrated and looked down at Vinny and wondered. "Why was he crying I don't see anything wrong with him". Then I saw he turned around and there was his mouth all bloody with his tooth shoved up his mouth until only a bit of white was showing from his mouth. "We need to get him to a hospital QUICK!" My grandma shouted and ran out the door with my brother leaving me behind. " I said I was Sorry." My Mom,Step Dad,Brother,Moms friend and I were driving down a dirt road in the campsite we were at for the weekend. Vinny and I were hanging out the gate of my moms Jeep letting our feet hang out. Mom and her friend were jamming to some old music that I didn't even know- "Hey Dom want to drive the car for me." My step dad said to me and of course I said "Yeah of course I'm wanna drive the car." I hopped on to the dirt road and jogged to the drivers seat. "Okay let's get this thing a moving!!" I shouted and I pounded the gas pedal and the car took off.
"STOP THE CAR!!" My Mom screamed at the top of her lungs. When she screamed I panicked and pressed the gas harder than before. Then my step dad pressed the brakes and the car made a skirt sound for about three seconds. My mom jumped out the car rushed down the dirt road, looking like a psycho. "VINNY VINNY!!" she yelled up and down the road looking for him. "He's right here!!" My moms friend said with relief. My mom hugged him tight because he wasn't road kill. They both ended up crying. |
