swam to the edge.
"It's okay, Mommy has you, Cookie." I said, holing her close. "Your such a vile creature." I said, rocking her. I went to the back door, and grabbed a towel off the shelf and sat on a chaise chair and dried her off.
"Ronan. Why are you wet?" Mother asked, coming from the glass doors.
"Cookie was drowning. I had to save her."
"That's a cute name. Sh'e yours."
I got up.
"No she's your deal." I said, handing her Cookie, wrapped in the towel.
I grabbed my jacket and went inside.
"Your dripping all over the floor. Take a hot shower before you get sick."
"Then Tie a noose so you can strangle me with it. Oh shoot, okay, let me start on that first." I muttered to myself walking stiffly to my bathroom.
I paused at the base of the stairs and looked up. I sighed, and slowly began to climb the stairs.
I sat down at the dinner table, with Cookie at my feet. I ripped a piece of biscuit and gave it to her when they weren't looking. Cookie ate it quickly. Sweet! I hate biscuits, they're to dry and flaky, Gah!
"What are you going to do with Cookie, while you're gone?" Mother asked.
"You can't just leave her." Father said.
"Sure I can. I didn't want her. Your the one who wanted to get her, so you guys get to take acre of her." I said, dropping the whole biscuit to the floor.
I hope you get the shits so they have to clean it up. They ate their food, in silence.
"There's nothing you can do to change my mind. I'm going to go. Stop trying to make me stay, in a week I'm gone. Then I'll be back cause I have to come back for stupid school."

Everyone was wearing a red shirt that said, I'm a little freak. A girl walked up to me with a cloth sticker.
"May I?"
"Yeah go for it. I like getting gifts from you guys." I said, pushing my hair back.
She stuck the sticker to my shirt, and smoothed it over my collar bone.
"Freaky." She smirked taking off.
I looked down at the sticker. In cool graffiti it said, Mother Freak. Sweet. At lunch I played my new song Only one life, for everyone. This time I noticed people were filming me. I got some food, and sat on top of a table to eat. A girl came up to me with a paper.
"I played Some of your songs for my little sister. She said your her Idol. She drew you a picture." She said, handing it to me.
"No shit!" i took the picture." This is sick Yo."
It was of me and the little girl. Over the big girl it said Mother Freak, and under it, it said Ronan. on top of the little girl it said, Little Freak, and under it, said me.
"Want to see a picture of her?"
"Can I?" I asked.
The girl Pulled out her phone and gave it to me. There was a Little girl wearing a red shirt that said, I'm a little freak. She held the bottom out and smiled proudly.
"This is the same size as my camera. Mind if I take the picture and put it on my lap top?"
"Go for it. Could you sign this for her?" She asked, giving me a picture, of me performing at lunch.
"Yeah, what's her name?"
"Abby."
"okay, Abby, stick up for yourself and Riot against the ones who said, no cause I'm telling you yes." I capped the marker and gave her back the picture.
"Thanks."
"sure, and the picture's done." I said, handing her the phone as the bell rang.
When I got home I pined the drawing on my wall, and crossed out getting art by someone who admires you, big time. As I opened my door to go get a soda, Cookie jumped on me.
"Hi." I waved down at her.
She barked.
"I'm not picking you up Not with that attitude." I told her crossing my arms. I looked at the roof. "I'm talking to a dog."
Cookie bit my pants and tugged. I picked her up and tapped her nose. She hit me back, and I taped her nose again.
"No, you don't pull on my pants, and you sure as Hell don't hit me."
I got a soda, and Put her outside. She stayed away from the pool this time. I sat on a chair and Pushed a button on the fire place. Flames came up. Cookie Jumped, cocked her head, and then Barked and growled. She put her feet on the chaise chair. I bent to grab her and she took off to the other side of the yard, ears flapping in the light breeze. I rolled my eyes, and sat back.
"Cookie, Cookie, Cookie!" i called.
She came to a halt and turned to me, Cocking her head.
"Cookie, Cookie, Cookie!"
She bolted back, and jumped on me, She walked onto my chest and attacked my face with puppy kisses. The fire raised, with a Puff noise. Cookie Yelped and plopped down on my chest. I took a drink of my soda, and held my cap to her. She sniffed it and then licked it. She looked up at me. I sat up and put her between my legs. I poured some soda into the cap and lowered it down to her. she lapped it up. I poured another cap full and held in front of her.
"Cheers Cookie!" i said, taking a drink myself.
I poured another cap full. She sniffed it, and then sat down licking her mouth. I drank the cap full and sat back. She crawled onto my chest and plopped down. She let out a big sigh as if she'd had a hard day, and then closed her eyes.

An hour later I got back into my car with Cookie. We just finished shopping at pet smart. Once at home, I sat her on my bed. I put on her collar. She tried to chew on it. I pulled out her toy and she jumped for it. I gave it to her and she began to chew on that. I put all the other stuff away and then played with her.
"How am I going to leave you when I go to Alaska?" I asked, as she saw down looking at the toy i wiggled above head. "Get it Cookie."
She barked, and jumped at the toy.
"Ronan?" Mom called.
I walked to the door, and Cookie Barked. I picked her up and walked into the kitchen.
"Will you help me make dinner?"
"Why?" i asked, suspicious and petting Cookie's head.
"I would like to cook a meal with my Daughter before she leaves."
"I'm still going."
"I know you are. Wash your hands please."
I sighed and put Cookie down.
"This is really good." Dad said, pointing the chicken.
"Ronan cooked it." Mom said.
Dad looked over at me, and smiled.
"You'll make a good wife."
I choked on my mashed potatoes. A god what now? I fed Cookie my Biscuit.
"So are you getting along with Cookie?" Dad asked.
"I'm still going." I said, smacking the table. "Hire a dog sitter. I know you have the money."
They both looked at me shocked. I stood up and picked up Cookie.
"Were you going?"
"To give the dog I didn't want a bath." I said, leaving.
Cookie was standing on my bathroom counter head cocked looking at the bubble filled sink. I don't know how to give a dog a bath. I put Cookie into the sink, and grabbed onto her as she started to drown.
"Whoops! Sorry Cookie!" I said, scrubbing her with soap.
I changed my soaked shirt and dried her off, putting her collar back on.
"That wasn't so bad." I said, as she sat on my bed.
She pawed at her face.
"I think I did pretty good for my first time, Thank you very much." I said, crossing my arms.
She flopped over, and closed her eyes.
"Oh, so dramatic." I said, shutting the light off.
~*~
I put the suitcase on the bed, and opened it. Cookie looked at me as if to ask what the Hell? I grabbed some clothes and shoved them into the suitcase. I got some more and made my way back to the suitcase. I smiled and Set the clothes down.
"What are you doing?" I asked, hands on hips.
Cookie wagged her tail from inside my suitcase. I laughed, and picked her up.
"You can't go." I said, kissing her head and setting her on the bed.
I put the clothes in and grabbed more. I laughed as I saw Cookie back in the suit case. I worked around her. I set her on the bed, and shut the suit case. She climbed onto it and layed down. I shut my window, and curtains. I picked up my lap top case. This isn't going to work. I Zipped up my jacket and put cookie inside. I grabbed My suit case and went down stairs. I put my bag and lap top case by the front door. I took Cookie out back Where they where outside sitting by the Fire.
"You packed?" Mother asked.
"Yeah." I said, Setting Cookie down.
She ran to pee.
"So-"
Dad was cut off By a horn. I opened the front door and Lexi shut the door to her car.
"Ronan!" She yelled.
With a grin we ran to each other and hugged. Dad Brought my things out and Mom brought Cookie out. Dad put my bags into the car.
"Bye Cookie."
"It's just a week." Lexi said.
Cookie looked at Lexi with said eyes.
"Ugh, some here you Oreo." She said, taking her from Mom.
She held her to her face, "You cause a lot of trouble, you know that?" Lexi said.
Cookie licked her nose.
"That's it, Pack your doggy bag, you're coming with us." Lexi said putting Cookie under her arm.
Dad ran into the house and came back out with My back pack. He gave it to me. I looked at him Eyebrow raised.
"I knew you couldn't leave without her." He smiled.
I smiled, and hugged him. He rubbed my back.
"See ya kid."
"Bye Mom." I said, walking past her.
Lexi bit her lip and turned to the car. I hoped in and Lexi handed me Cookie.
"Ready to get out of here?"
"Who knew leaving would feel so free."
She laughed and turned up the radio. I smiled.
"What?" She asked.
"I love this song."
"Shall we sing it?"
"Let's." I said.
We sang at the top of our lungs. Cookie layed on my lap and covered her eyes.
