Briar

It had been a couple of weeks since the stomach bug fiasco. Brad had apologized to me and started making more of an effort in our relationship. It was nice, but it just didn't really feel the same anymore. I didn't trust him like I had before. Izzy was clueless to the whole situation, always off in her own little world and Sadie had been colder to me lately, basically ignoring me. I wasn't sure what that was about but I also didn't really care. Quinn had told me what she said when they left for the party and it pissed me off, so I ignored her back.

Very mature. I know.

But Quinn had turned out to be a surprise friend. He took me to his Sunday Dungeon night and I actually had a great time. The other guys seemed a little lost on how to handle a woman in their midst, but they did a good job of explaining things to me and I told Quinn I'd go again if he let me. He seemed surprised I had enjoyed it so much, but didn't tell me no. Otherwise our communication had been strictly related

  • Girls' Best Friend   Epilogue

    12 Years Later...HankI lift my heavy eyelids and take a deep breath, watching the flames in the fireplace as their warmth permeates my fur. Laying on my bed in front of the fireplace is my favorite place to be.Except in bed between Mom and Dad.I hear the patter of feet rushing through the house, but I'm too tired to lift my head. I can tell it's Stella though.My oldest pup.She comes into the living room and smiles when she sees me. My tail begins to thump in joy as she kneels beside me, pressing her forehead to mine like she always does.She's the goodest girl.I lick her cheek and her sweet laughter rings through the room. She runs her little hand along my body, feeling my fur. She gets a worried look on her face and I don't like it so I whine a little."Mom!" She calls out and a few moments later Mom comes in the room."Yeah, Stel?" She asks and Stella looks back down at me."Hank looks tired, Mom." She says and Mom comes over to kneel by me too. My tail thumps some more as sh

    QuinnI rushed us to the vet, ignoring the pain in my hand because, well, it was fucking worth it. The look on that smug bastard's face when I broke his nose was priceless. Even if the feel of the bone breaking against my hand was cringey.Briar reaches for me and I hold her hand firmly, grateful that she seems to understand that sometimes touching her is the easiest way for me to communicate. I have too many feelings swirling around in me to say them out loud.We reach the office and we're through the door in the next moment. The receptionist seemed to be expecting us because she said the vet would be out soon. I started pacing again, but tried to stop since I know it's my anxious habit and I hate the way Briar sits all curled in on herself while I do that. But when I turn to her she gives me a knowing smile.She gets me.The doctor comes out and she stands next to me, holding my hand while we wait for answers."He's gonna be fine." The doctor says and we both let out a breath of rel

    BriarI watch Quinn storm into the living room and put his shoes on and panic begins to grip me. Surely, he wasn't serious about that whole killing thing?"Quinn, what are you doing?" I ask, walking up to him with my arms crossed in front of me. I don't want to make him angry; he's already upset enough as it is, but I can't watch him make any stupid decisions either."I'm going to his house." He says firmly, shoving his keys in his pocket. My concern ratchets up a few notches and I stand between him and the door."No, baby. That's not a good idea." I say and he narrows his eyes at me."Why?" He asks. He stands to his full height and I never realized how intimidating he can be when he does that."His father is a judge." I say gently, taking a step towards him. I cup both of his cheeks in my hands and his eyes soften slightly. "If you do anything he won't hesitate to press charges. I can't lose you too." I say, choking on a sob.Quinn sighs heavily, letting out a frustrated growl. He gr

    QuinnBriar and I drive home in an oppressive silence. I'm not really sure what to say or how to reassure her because I'm barely hanging on myself. I always knew I'd have to deal with Hank's death eventually. I just never imagined it would be under these circumstances. He should have years left on his life, he's barely even two years old. He's been my best friend for most of that time and I'm not exactly sure how I would function without him.I look over at Briar after I park the car, her eyes downcast and a worried expression on her face. I let out a little sigh, wishing there was something I could do, something I could say to make her feel better but if she's feeling anything like I am, the only thing that will make this better is having a healthy Hank back at home."Come on, sweetheart. Let's go inside." I say quietly, getting out of the car and rounding it to the other side. I open her door for her and her eyes pop up to mine like she didn't realize we were home already. She takes

  • Girls' Best Friend   Chapter 26

    BriarI wake up sometime in the middle of the night with a feeling of dread wound tight like a rock in my stomach. It's still pitch dark out and I feel Quinn's arm wrapped around my waist, his even breathing against my back. I readjust in bed and try to relax to go back to sleep, but my body won't calm. I sigh a little and reach out for Hank. He's next to me and I run my fingers through his fur. He lets out a strange, strangled sound that immediately puts me on edge and I bolt up in bed. I've never heard him make a sound like that."Hank?" I say his name, but the only reaction I get is his ear twitching. Concern billows through me and I reach over to flip on the lamp. Quinn stirs behind me, but my focus is on Hank.I look at him and realize he's thrown up on the bed, something else he's never done. Usually my voice or the light turning on would have him bouncing around, but his body is eerily still. I go rigid as I watch him, his breathing coming in unsteady pants."Briar?" Quinn says
