Helping A Beat Up Showmare

The night went by quickly as we slept soundly. I awoke to the sound of trixie softly sleeping behind me. We didn't seem to move from where we were the night before. Trixie still had one of her forelegs wrapped around me as she slept. I had to carefully get out of bed and not wake her. When I got up from the bed I saw how cute she semed when she slept. When I moved out of bed she just grabbed one of the pillows and cuddled up to it probely thinking that it was me. I chuckled under my breath as I grabbed the blanket and moved it up to her neck.

I went out the door and went down the hallway to start breakfast. I opened the cuport and grabbed some pancake mix. I turned on the oven and started makeing some. I would make three for me and three for trixie. I was still a little surprised that I was takeing care of her. At first it was just instinct to get her somewhere safe...but now it might be something else. My thoughts were inturupted when I heard the house phone ring.

I went over and picked it up. The caller I.D. said it was my grandmother. A grin formed on my face when I saw this. Both my grandpa and grandmother took care of me when my parents passed away. I was young and the house I was living in was the one my parents had and grew up in thanks to my grandpa and grandma. They were like parents to me when my original ones past away.

I answered it and hear my gandma on the other end. "Hello?" I asked.

"Hey Jerry how you doing?" She asked in a kind voice.

"Good and you?"

".......... not so good..."

"Why what happened grandma?" I had concern i my voice.

"It's about your pap....he's......he's..."

"He's what grandma please tell me. The docters said that he would be ok....so is he?" I asked tears starting to form out of sheer worry.

"Jerry....he passed away last night." I could hear her voice choke on tears. My heart sank and it felt like I couldn't breath. My grandpa, the one who was like a father for me, was now dead. I just dropped the phone from shock as my legs began to get wobly. I quickly walked to the couch and just plopped down on it. I sat faceing the hallway without meaning to.

My eyes teared up and in no time tears started to stream down my face and plop down onto the floor. I slouched foward placeing my face into my hands as I began to openly sob. I didn't hold back in trying to keep them from being heard. I didn't care at all. After about a minute of sobbing I felt something touch my right shoulder. I looked up and saw that it was trixie standing there with a worried look on her face.

She didn't say anything as she wrapped her forelegs around me and pulling me into her embrace. It was kind and welcomeing. It helped a little as I wrapped my arms around her pulling her close. I openly sobbed as my tears fell down to her blue coat makeing it seem to e dark at some points. I don't know how long the hug lasted and I didn't care. When I was done sobbing over the death of him we pulled away from eatchother from the hug. She jumped onto the couch beside me placeing her hoof on my shoulder.

"Now Jerry...what happpened?" She asked wanting to know what happened. I let out a shakey sigh as I wipped away the tears from my eyes. I explained what happened on the phone. When I was finished she let out a gasp of suerprise.

"Jerry......i......i'm so sorry for what happened.....I can't belive what you are going through." I was surprsied since she was the one who was pelted with rocks and hurt not long ago. But I pushed that out of my head.

"It's ok trixie......just need some time to heal from it is all.....now....lets check on those pancakes....." I got up ignoreing her concerned look. I had to get my mind off of what happened and doing other things was the only way to do that. Once I placed the burnt pancakes on the plate I just let out a sigh as I threw them away. They wouldn't even taste good from what I knew.

The day went by slowly as trixie and I just sat on the couch. She listened as I told her about what I did with my pap and even had some pictures of those times. Some of them would make us laugh at the thought of it. I later hung up the phone since my grandma had hung up long after.

When night time came and after dinner we went back to the bedroom. I would have to get up to go to work....or I could just call in sick the next day. When we got to the room I just crawled into bed not even putting the covers on me. I could feel trixie crawl into bed. When I turned around to face her she just pulled me into a hug.

I hugged back feeling more comforted by this. This was not how I planned for the day to go or even lead up to. I didn't even think as I fell into a deep sleep.
