Creative Writing: Double Doors

I walked out the double doors of Kalamazoo Central and made my way to my moms car. My hair is still wet from swim practice. I open the car door and close it behind me as I sit down and make myself comfortable. “Abby...I made an appointment to put down Sam.” My mom said hesitantly. The words spill out of her mouth like an erupting volcano, so sudden and unexpected. I slightly fell back in the seat. I am speechless. She started the car and began to drive. “When?” I finally managed to say. “Today.” She said quietly. We finally got home and I went to my room. I could not be around my family without feeling like I was going to cry. I sat down in front of my piano and went on Snapchat. “Can you hangout today?” Mallory texted. “No, we have to take Sam to an appointment.” I replied. A few minutes she replied. “Oh, I hope it goes well!” She says. Mallory has such a young sweet heart, I did not want to tell her, I could not lie either.

She almost immediately texts back. “Abby! I’m so sorry, can I please come down to say bye?” She replied with. The picture had half of her face in it, it looked as if she was already crying. Mallory arrived a few minutes later. I open the front door and as I looked at her, her eyes told me that they were sorry. She stepped inside. “He’s on the back porch.” My voice wavered as I spoke. She followed me to the back porch and the state Sam was in broke my heart. Sam layed on the ground, He didn't even look up or get excited like he usually did when I enter the room. We sat down next to Sam on the ground. My mind was cloudy and I did not want to think. I did not talk much, I was afraid of crying. Mallory petted Sam and tried to get him to eat, she spoke to him too. After sam rejected the scrap food Mallory offered him for the millionth time she said, “Don’t worry Sam, there’s plenty of food in doggy heaven.”, and with that I started bawling my eyes
