The clouds were dark, but I was traveling
a little in search for something to eat. My stomach was a little shaky probably
from the water, but I figured I should eat none the less. Stepping out of the
woods I came across a couple of homes. Their doors were thrown open and so
where the garage doors. There weren't any cars in them, the families probably
grabbed what they could and escaped. I didn't blame them. If I had a family I'd
pack up for safer grounds considering I could see the top of an asteroid on the
other side of the houses. Rushing into the garage and listened to the inside,
waiting to hear noises that someone else might have taken refuge in this
abandoned home.
Silence.
Still I tip toed into the house,
but heard nothing. I went straight for the kitchen. The fridge didn't feel
cool, they lost electricity. I started to shift through the cabinets. They had sporadic
things in them, making it harder for me to find something that did not have mold
or had gone bad. Finally I found some crackers and peanut butter. I took the
packages with a knife and sat on the couch. I started to spread the peanut
butter on the crackers, it felt like food of the Gods. God I hope that Lauren
and the group had food. The cracker suddenly felt like cement in my throat. I
had food and I wasn't even sure if the group did. I put the food down next to
me feeling sick, I was spineless. My parents did not raise me to runaway from
my problems, but that seems to be all I was good at.
I stood up and went to the back
door. Placing my fists on the glass I stared out into the backyard. The glass
felt cool and it was then I realized how much warmer it was inside. The yard
was pretty deep out and I kept my eyes out scanning the area as I zoned out.
Sean is tossing a baseball up in
the air and catching it with a mitt. Paige is chasing after Sean wanting to
play too. Mandy is right next to Paige. Jill and Cole are in chairs in the sun,
just as Jill gave Cole a shove so that his feet would go over his head. I
smiled just as Lauren who was laughing headed towards. She reached out one of
her hands towards me.
I shook my head and the sight before
me vanished. God, I wasn't expecting to miss them this much. I glanced around
the yard and noticed little rain drops. Ash mixed through the air as the rain
came down harder creating almost a thick cloud closing around the house.
Quickly I ran to the front door and closed it, and went around seeing if the
windows were closed. I slammed a couple of the windows before walking
downstairs to where I left the food. Even the weather did not want me to go
find Lauren right now. I was locked in this house for God only knows how long,
alone with my thoughts.
That night I decided I finally
needed to sleep. The rain had stopped, but everything was still covered in a
thick fog of ash so I was stuck inside the house for a little longer. I crept
upstairs, my hand skimmed the railing with each step. Darkness had overtaken
the house. Yet a smirk grew on my face. The last time I tip toed up the stairs
in the dark I was greeted by Lauren who had wrapped her arms around my neck,
pressing our bodies together.
Shaking my head I found myself in
one of the bedrooms and curled under the covers of the bed. Even though the windows
and doors were closed the air was chilly around me. I just had to hope that
Lauren was warmer than I was. My gut told me otherwise though. Glancing to my
other side I thought back to when I shared my bed with three other bodies plus
two stuffed animals. I stared back at the ceiling and racked my fingers through
my hair. What was wrong with me? Lauren was everywhere. I got away from her to
avoid this.
I took in a deep breath and let it slowly. Lauren is just a girl. Lauren
is just a girl. Lauren. Is. Just. A. Girl. Then why the hell could she not get
out of my head. I've been with girls before so Lauren shouldn't be any
different. I tried to focus on the black of the inside of my eyelids. Under the
tent of blankets I tried to calm my mind till I finally fell asleep.
