The Accident

     How could I accept the fact she was gone? I couldn't bare myself to think of the mistake I had made to let this all happen. Tears ran down my cheeks.

48 hours before


     I took Madelene my golden retriever out for a walk. She loved her walks. She would always jump around every time I bring the leash out. It was the indication that she was going for a walk and with her playful grin on her face. Eight years she has been with us and she was like part of the family.

     Angie, my 5 year old sister wanted to tag along so she could play in the park while Maddy would run around
with other dogs. I would sit there perhaps call my girlfriend Rosie to keep me company as I watch them.

    There were a few kids playing soccer at the field. I knew some of the guys. They were school mates. Siva was in my class. I was talking to Rosie and didn't realize that Maddy had gone quite far away.

    Moments passed and it was getting dark so I decided to head back.I called out for Angie but there was no reply. I searched for her everywhere but I couldn't find her. I ran around looking for her and Rosie helped me.

    I heard a barking noise and turned around and saw Maddy barking at a car where two guys were heading into the car in a rush. I ran over and saw that Angie was in the car. I panicked. I ran as fast as I could towards the car and smashed the window. A bulky man came out and punched me in the stomach. I retaliated with a punch on his face. I managed to get Angie of the car and ask her to go to Rosie.

   The driver came out of the car with a gun and shot me straight in the arm. I fell to the ground. The gun shot was heard loudly and Siva and his friends came over to help out. Maddy jumped at the driver and bit his hand before he could shoot me again. Angie ran out of Rosie's reach straight to Maddy to rescue her. I managed to get up and started running towards them to get Maddy and Angie to safety.

   The driver saw me and shot me at the stomach with my other hand and Rosie came to me. I pushed her aside and ran towards them. Maddy had disarmed the driverwhen I got to him and punched him multiple times. Siva came running and took Maddy and Angie to safety. But before anything could happen, the driver took out a knife and stabbed me on the back. With blood oozing out I fell to the ground.

   At that time a speeding car was coming towards me but before he had time to break Rosie pushed me aside and got hit by the car.I screamed my lungs out. I couldn't move to help her. Jay,Tom and Max ran towards me to help. Siva ran towards Rosie to see her and Angie and Maddy were safely on the field. I passed out.

   I could remember the wailing of the ambulance and people saying that I was losing blood. Voices saying Maddy was dead. I couldn't put it together.

   As tears ran down my cheek I closed my eyes leaned back and breathed my last breath.
