"Brownie is gone. He followed you when you went to the market and he was hit by a Motorcycle"

When I heard it I feel like I was struck by a lightning and my tears just fall. It is just an hour ago when we slept together and this news greeted me. He's gone, he's not in the world anymore and I feel like I am the reason of his death. It hurts. The one family that understand me. The only family that comfort me. He is really gone.

"If I can go back in time I will make sure to look back to check if he's following us. That will prevent his death for sure. But this is not a fairy tail story just like in a Movie that I will be given a 3 wish to wish if I wish. But I wish I can just Protect him."

I cry and I cry and I cry releasing all the Pain I have because of his sudden death. That's the only thing that I can do right now because I can't bring him back to life. I am no God and so I will just cry for his death. I will mourn and give him a prayer that wherever he is right now. I hope he is happy and playing in the pet wonderland.

I fall asleep crying and when I woke up my eyes are very swollen. I remember again my Brownie and because of it I want to burst in tears again but I stop myself. Brownie will be sad if I cry and cry over and over again. He will be happy if I move on and continue with my life. He's gone now but for sure he is just here watching over me. Instead of thinking about his death, I will just ready myself for school.

I continue walking going to our school but the heavy feeling is still here. I don't want to attend school today but Mom will surely scold me so I set aside the thought. I'm about to cross to the road when I saw the little puppy running from het owner. She is so tiny and so cute. But I got alarmed when I saw her that she's about to cross to the road without minding the big truck that is coming. It is so fast that anyone who will be hit by it will surely die.

I didn't think much and just run to where she is. I will just grab her leash and save her. I will save her. "Please let me save her, please!" I run so fast and her owner is also shouting for her dog to comeback to her but maybe the dog is over excited for the little freedom that has, she is ignoring her owner. I'm about to reach her. Just a little bit more I can finally get her. "And Yes!!! I got her, I got you, I got you." I hug her tightly and that's where I feel something that touch my body. The impact is just strong that I was thrown somewhere. But I still didn't let go of the dog. "I got you baby doggo!"

I feel like I was losing consciousness but I fight for it. I didn't close my eyes and look at the dog in my arms. She is wagging her tail and looking at me. Seems like she's smiling to me. I smile, I am happy. And that is where I just let the darkness get my consciousness. I still want to say to the lady to take care of her puppy but I can't talk anymore.

"Call the Ambulance! Oh God. Kid, hey wake. Please stay with me. Don't close your eyes. Oh God her head, blood is coming out on her head. Call the Ambulance fast!"

I gasped for air as I open my eyes. I am still on the road lying. I look at my surrounding and I saw the dog. "Doggie, are you okay?"

"Oh Gosh!! Kid are you okay? You are bleeding don't move. My gosh look at those blood."

My gaze stop to where her finger is pointing and she's right. There's a lot of blood. But I am not in pain. I don't know but I feel okay. "But I'm okay. I'm not in pain. Look I can even move." I let her see that I'm okay and stand up. I even jump in front of her just to make a point.

"But kid, how about that blood. It's your blood. My dog is okay, look, she's okay and I'm thankful to you. But please let yourself examine by the doctor just to make sure that there is no hemorrhage okay?"

"Okay and you're welcome."


I get home safe and I even attended to our class. I'm okay and I don't feel anything in my body. I am now in my room and I am still checking my head if there's huge cut in there for it to release a lot of blood but there's nothing. Not even a mark though there's blood that is already dried up.

"Then what happened to me?

I unconsciously put my hand into my skirt's pocket still thinking of what happened but my fingers touch something in my pocket. I get it and find a paper...

"What? What does it mean? I can't die? But only for one weekend? Is this even real? Wait! Wait wait! Is this what happened to me? On the road this morning. OMG! No way!"

There's only one thing to do to check it. And that is to kill myself. I run to where the kitchen is and look for the knife. Luckily I found one. I hid it inside my shirt and run back to my room. I close the door and lock it just to make sure. I am already sweating. If this is not real then I die. But if it's real, then it's real.

I will kill myself with this and come back to life. "Oh God, I'm so nervous."

I ready myself and hold the knife tightly. My hand is shaking but I have to check it. Surely this is not just a prank by anymore if I will base it to what happened this morning.


After stabbing myself I finally believed that I am immortal now. But only for one weekend. With that one weekend I already have something in my mind that I will do to make use of this. Just like what I did this morning. I will save anyone that about to meet an accident to help them. Animals, Humans or whoever it is I will save then even if my body break. I am immortal so that is okay. I will prevent their death tru this.

So that, no one will cry anymore and no one will die but only me. Even if I die over and over for that one weekend, then be it. I will make sure that no one will mourn because someone died in that whole weekend.
