I was heartbroken, for the first time in my life. We were walking back to our houses from our neighborhood Christmas party. It was the 3 of us; Emily, Margs, and me. We have been friends forever because we all lived close together; but in school we all were in different friend groups. In school it was as if we didn’t even know each other.

She answered “Of course, but my stupid brother is allergic to them.”

We already have been looking for 2 hours. My mom wanted us to go home but I couldn’t, knowing that my dog could be out there in the dark with no one by his side.

I knew my mom was concerned she just didn’t want to show it, because she didn’t want me to worry. As I walked in the front door I saw my brother sitting down at the counter. When I looked at him my eyes filled with tears, I could feel my face burning up, and my hands were clenched into tight fists. It was all his fault, he was the one who lost Tucker and he didn’t even help to find …show more content…
Nobody was eating anything, we were all too worried. In the midsts of silence the home phone started ringing, I jumped to my feet and grabbed the phone from the kitchen island. The man on the other side of the call started talking in a shaky voice. With hesitation he said that he was from the Greenfield Hill Vet, and that this call was regarding Tucker O’Brien. As soon as those words reached my ear, the phone came falling from my hand, because I knew Tucker was dead. All that time searching for him, and yelling at my brother making him feel worst about everything was all for nothing because he was dead. He wasn’t missing anymore he was just

    On Thursday we awoke to a serious reality, we were running out of groceries. It was apparent that if we wanted to continue eating, it was time to start fishing with a little more enthusiasm. I thought maybe we should go see if our luck might be better on the far side of the lake by the rocky cliff where we 'd seen little fish dimple the surface of the lake. On the hike around the lake, the dang dog, who normally trotted at my heel, went nuts chasing scent trails and eventually disappeared. We spent time calling him, but when he failed to respond, we gave up.…

    I tried my hardest to create unforgettable memories, to have the best laughs of my life, to have adventures, to do things we weren't allowed to do, to share my deepest thoughts with my brother. The fastest three weeks of my life were gone before I knew it and it was time to see my brother go. The day before he left to Vancouver there was lots of packing that we had to do. While packing Jonathan’s things it hit me that he was leaving the day after, making it extremely difficult for me to store any of his things for the trip, because it would be the last time in a long time that I would see the walls of his room full of music posters, or his closet full of clothes. The next morning we all got up early to get ready to take my brother and my dad to the airport.…
