Epidemic of Extinction

Chapter 8

*Hannah

OMG I still can't believe I found him. He's actually here. Ive Web been searching for him ever since this epidemic started. He dropped out of school when his parents died and I haven't seen him since.

My family died at the beginning. That was 2 years ago. His died a year and a half ago. He was so sweet to me when mine died. Then his died and I hadn't seen him since I wandered here. He seems to have a connection with this girl, Macy. She is nice, but honestly, she's a mess. EVEN Jordan says so. He says she's had it hard though.

Anyway, I was about to walk into the kitchen when I heard.

"My parents died in a car crash when I 4. my parents were only children so I didn't have aunts and uncles. My grandparents died of the epidemic. Then there was my sister's husband and he died of the epidemic soon after my sister found out she was pregnant. In his dying moments she told him about Madison. She said' please don't leave me and our unborn child'. The next moment he was dead," now she was crying hysterically but she went on," Why do the worst things happen to me! WHY can't I be normal!?!? Why is my life so messed up! What did I do to screw with karma or any of that B.S."

I heard Gabriel take the crying baby towards the door so I hid in the hallway. She was a mess but now that I've heard her life story she has every right to be. Then I heard Gabriel go back in and comfort her.

"Shhhhhhh. It's OK. I'm here now .Shhhhhhh."

Eventually she stops crying. He carries her shaking body to her room. I watched that door all night. Neither of them came back out till morning.

I had spent the night with Jordan. We started talking about what had happened to him when he didn't return to school. When I had asked him the question, he said this

"After my parents died I went to live with my grandparents. They eventually, and I made my way back here I waited in the grocery store for days hoping you would come by. Eventually I lost hope. Then Macy came by. She was crying she was very upset about something eventually I learned what it was. She had been left alone to take care of her niece, Madison. When I first saw her with the baby I thought Madison was hers, but the second I met her she clarified for me. She has a strong will. She eventually asked if I could come live with them for the time if I had no where else to say. I said yes. What about you Hannah."

"After you left I was homeless, but that's it."

"Oh"

"I missed you" I said.

"I did too."

"Love you."

"Love you too."

Wow we've never said that before to each other. Then after that we felt asleep, happy.
