RHYMING POEM

when tears fell ,
you were always there to brush them away
when I was in confusion,
you were there saying that everything would be okay
when I was falling apart,
you were there to heal my heart,
just when I thought no one could understand,
you were there to take my hand
when no one cared
you were there<3

Friendship

FICTION

Hailey came to me during one of the lowest times of my life.

The day before we met, I had to put down my dog, dexter. She was a ten-year-old miniature schnauzer with a black and white colored coat and the first dog I was able to call mine.Losing a dog leaves a void, one that feel you will never fill. You cry but mostly you just remember how much you miss them.

 A couple months later, set up an appointment with a local breeder, they had a white miniature schnauzer for sale. I convinced myself that I didnt want to buy a dog. I didnt want to feel hurt like that again and open my heart up. Hailey, she was the smallest of the liter, only 6 weeks old. How could i say no? i wanted to smile again. I rushed to the pet supermarket and bought everything that would be perfect for her.

I began to grow really close with hailey, i loved her but it didnt change the fact i missed dexter. I am so glad i had the option to adopt hailey because without her i would still be crying, feeling at rock bottom.

my rescue

NONFICTION

It was the first day of school and this is the last place i wanted to be. My best friend went to a different school and i felt lonely every single day. I cant even count how many times i was absent from school.

Its 7:20, im not in my first period class. Instead, im at home sleeping with puffy eyes from the night before. Everyday just felt like a dream to me, like it wasnt real. No one noticed when i was at my lowest point, i felt lost.

Finally, its friday. Today im going to the bridgeland football game with this girl bailey.We used to be close but we eventually went our seprate ways. I remember thinking about how much i did not want to go with her.

Its the end of the fourth quarter, i actually am glad i came with bailey. Shes actually super nice and we couldnt stop laughing the whole time. We asked our parents if we could have a sleepover at my house so she ended up staying the night. Every weekend after that it became a kind of tradition for us to be together every weekend.

Its now the middle of may, bailey is my absoulute bestfriend and i wouldnt trade the bond we have for the world. Shes always there for me and is a person i can tell anything to. Im so glad i convinced myself to go that football game because without her i would be lost.Now instead of just missing school everyday i have someone to make me feel important and text me ¨ You better not miss today¨ . Most people say we are annoying together and always laughing but honestly she saved me from how lost i felt. I dont care what people say because she distracts me from all of the hurt i felt. I am so beyond thankful for her always, thank you for being my rescue.
