When we arrive, Matt gets out and talks to the police. The officer told him the bitch and the owner is inside the house. I watched as they walk to the shed to get the pups. Just then, from the corner of my eye something black bounces in the tall grass. It is one of the pups heading towards the road. I get out and pick him up when voices from all directions catch my attention.
My eyes sweep to the officer yelling with his hands up, and then I see
it, the lactating female heading straight towards me. I hear Matt call out my
name as I turn my back towards her and reach for the door, but it is too late.
I have the yelping pup in my hands when she jumps me from behind.
I don’t remember much from that point on, except hearing two shots being
fired at close range, then falling to the ground with the pup clenched to my
chest. The first week in the hospital is hell. They keep me on my stomach to
have better access to the wounds on my back and right shoulder. The pain is
immense, and I am kept under sedation for the first few nights because of the
nightmares of a big black dog with red eyes standing at the edge of my bed,
fangs dripping with blood.
Ben and Alice visit a few times a day, and Matt comes around too, but it
is clear that this wasn’t what he signed up for. I decide to break it off when
I get out of the hospital, but he beats me to it. The day before I am due to be
released he comes by with a mason jar of sweet tea, compliments of Jimmy, the
barman at the pub where we used to hang out. He knew it was my favorite.
His eyes betray him the moment he sets foot inside my room. We are
history. He carefully leans over and kisses me on the forehead, then sits down
on the edge of the chair, fiddling with the pocket of his pants. We talk about
work, school and then, he blurts it out. I wait for the ache, but there is
nothing, instead I feel relieved that I am free.
I always thought that falling in love should feel like jumping from a
cliff. A fall that scares you as much as it excites you, that leaves you
breathless and wanting more. The impossible kind … that ruins you for everyone
else.
This wasn’t it, and my chances of finding it have just become harder. I
am not the same girl that I was before. Finding that special guy prepared to
carry my load with me, would be one in a million, a fairytale come true, and
just maybe, an impossible dream…
