Dancing with Tears in my Eyes

By Neko Hoshi

A/N: If you know the little town of Howard in Ohio then you know the tragedy we suffered when we lost one of our own bulldogs to a murderer, along with his mother and family friend. Only his sister lives and continues to fights the pain he caused. This is a story that I thought of while listening to Dancing with Tears in my Eyes by Ke$ha.

Her eyes seemed to blind her as she tried her best to stay calm from the news she just received as she stared blankly at the TV screen. Her body felt numb at the news the head sheriff just said.

"She is the one person that is justice in my eyes but right now will be the toughest. This afternoon after getting tips, we found the remains of her mother, brother, and family friend."

Her heart stopped at the moment of news that she dreaded to hear -- what anyone wanted to hard at all. She wasn't sure why her body felt like it was it wasn't there anymore. She felt like she left with them when she found the news.

She knew what was going on; she was scared of knowing that this was the outcome that she and the others would receive. All the pain they felt while they searched countless hours went down the drain in a way. They were hoping to find them alive and well but only their daughter/sister was the sole survivor out of this event.

"Matt, why the hell did you do it you bastard?!"She screamed as her body started to move on its own, she wanted to go to her and comfort her in every way she could. She wanted to help her out. She wanted to be there for someone that needed comfort instead of feeling like she couldn't do anything.

She walked out the door, ignoring that the dog wanted out. Feeling the cool breeze on her burning face, it barely helped the raw wounds that were stabbed into her heart by the heart breaking news. Biting down on her lip, she stared at the somber sky, as if it was ready to pour down the sorrow rain that she expected.

Her body carried her back into the farm house, only to lead her into her room where all of her belongs were. Turning on the laptop, she walked a little bit away. Turning on the media player, she went straight to a song she knew well that fitted her mood at the moment. Her wounds burned as if someone rubbed salt into them right after cutting into her heart.

As the music started to play through the speakers, she closed her eyes as she let her body move fluidly through the air. She mouthed the words only to start to sing with it.

The pictures of the three filled her mind, causing the held back tears to fall through her eyelashes and onto her cheeks. Biting down on her lip, she fell to her knees, almost like she couldn't feel them anymore. Ke$ha filled her ears as her song, Dancing with Tears in my eyes, helped the tears fall from her eyes faster until she could barely get a proper breath, like she was suffocating from it all.

"Why did this have to happen to them? Why did he have to chose them!?" She yelled, as she balled her hand into a fist and hit the floor below her.

She wanted her answers but they wouldn't answer her, she was just a child. A kid that was butting into the investigation.

All she wanted to do was dance with tears in her eyes from the pain that she felt. The pain of losing a bulldog and strangers that felt like family to her.
