Beautiful Goodbye
One Sunny, Saturday Morning
BROOKE'S MORNING:
It was a sunny Saturday morning so I decided to take Daisy for a jog. I pulled on a pair of printed under armour running shorts and a white v-neck t shirt. I tied my magenta and lime green nikes, and put Daisy on her leash. As I plugged in my headphones, I was transported into another world where I didn't have to think about all my problems with Tyler, and that was a break I had been needing for a long time. I was en route to Boston Common when a familiar face was jogging toward me with a cute little chocolate lab.
TYLER'S MORNING:
I woke up feeling the effect of last nights game. I had taken a rough hit in our defensive end and I was definatley feeling it now. My mind was full of confused thoughts, I missed Brooke, I wanted her here. I figured I should go for a run and try to clear my head so I got dressed, clipped a leash on Marshall and left my apartment jogging towards Boston Common. As I approached the park, I saw a familiar face.
MAIN POINT OF VIEW: (BROOKE)
At first I couldnt make out if it was Tyler or not heading towards me. But as he approached, I knew it was definatley him. Shit, I thought to myself. It then occured to me that the problem I had been running from was now standing right in front of me. Just as Tyler and I began to pass each other Daisy decided she liked Marshall the two dogs lunged at each other entangling their leashes and pulling Tyler and I close together. The kind of close where if you saw two people that close, you would think they were dating. I felt myself blush, "Marshall!" Tyler scolded, "Sorry Brooke," i Laughed and said back, "Its fine."we began untangling the leashes. Once we were finished, I was relieved to see him trying to start a conversation, "So whats your dogs name?" he asked sweetly. "Daisy, she two" I said patting her head. "He's pretty cute" i added. "This is Marshall," Tyler spoke deeply, " He's almost one." I was mesmerized by his deep brown eyes that seemed to pull me in like a tidal wave. "Hey Brooke?" he added, I felt my heart drop this was it I could feel it. "Would you want to go out sometime?... with me?" I couldnt feel my feet, my knees buckled beneath me and I felt my palms sweating. I blushed and said, "Sure," he seemed relieved too. "Great, does tomorrow around 8 work?" he asked, still feeling numb I quickly said, "Sure thats perfect." I probably looked ill at the moment but I didnt even care, I was so happy this moment had finally come. "Great see ya then." he said putting his earphones back in, "Bye Daisy!" He said cutely bending down to pat her. It was amazing Daisy wa the the kind of dog that would bark, growl, and sneer at anyone who came near her, but she calmy embraced Tyler and his petting. All of a sudden it hit me and I let out a "Holy Shit!" somewhat loud and several people in the park looked at me I grabbed Daisy's leash and started the much faster jog home, I had to call Amber.
