Darryl POV

It was a normal day. Just like usual. I got up, got ready for the day, ate, walked Rat, and got on my computer. I checked for any new messages, which there weren't. So I leaned back in my chair and grabbed my phone, opening twitter and scrolling down.

I liked a couple fanarts and spotted something that made my blood run cold. It was a link to a government file. The caption of the tweet was,

Nuke headed for the earth from space. Aliens have attacked.

I clicked on the file and skimmed through it. It said a few things about the government knowing the existence of aliens for a while and knowing about the bomb for a while and how they kept it a secret to 'protect' the population. And how they had tried their best to stop the bomb before it got there but inevitably failed and there was 1 month left before everything blew up.

I checked a few more sources and confirmed that it was accurate. Which it was.

I immediately liked and retweeted the tweet from before, captioning it with a worried emoticon.

I set my phone down.

Baldie 🥵🧁: Skeppy. Join my channel I need to ask you something.

Skeppy Muffin 💙💎: k? ttys

"Skeppy? Oh my goodness have you checked twitter?" I called.

Keys were pressed from the other side of the call. "No? Let me check…"

"No! Skeppy don't. I want to meet up. Like, as soon as possible." I muttered.

There was a short silence before the other boy started shooting me with questions.

"Yay finally! Is there a reason why it's so sudden though?" His voice was chipper. I was upset knowing I would have to ruin that.

Tears welled up in my eyes, "Skeppy… the world is ending in less then a month. I want to meet up with you before then. You are my best friend and I would like to at least meet you in real life before I die."

3rd Person No POV

Zak sat there. Silently processing this new information. After a while he finally spoke. "I'll be there as soon as I can."

"Mmmmm" The older hummed in agreement.

Buddy disconnected

Zak closed out of teamspeak. He messaged a couple people, unblocked his former friend a6d and sent an apology text, and booked a plane ticket to Florida for the upcoming Saturday. He barely got a spot as people were frantically trying to fly home to spend their last days with their family.

Zak called his mom, who had already heard from the local news channel and was panicking, and told her he was flying back to Florida as soon as he could. Not only did Bad live in Florida but his family did too.

Meanwhile Darryl had quickly picked up his apartment, picked up Lucy and her stuff, and snatched his keys off the rack. He hopped in his car and drove to his parents house. His brother and sister were already there with their kids. His parents gave him a giant hug. 

"Thanks…" Darryl smiled sadly. He stayed and chatted with his parents for the night until everyone decided it would be a good time to get some rest.

The next day Darryl was up with the sun. He took Lucy and his parents dog, Kylo, on a walk then returned and made breakfast.

Darryl found that the only way to distract himself from his inevitable doom was to pretend everything was normal and act like it was just another weekend he was spending at his parents house.
