Neon

On the next day the chaos moved to neon, currently 2:38am 

Everything was wild, what was even going on at this point? one moment I was sitting in my room studying the next I heard the most ear-piercing scream ever, getting up I went ahead to check what was going on only to see people running around like feral animals, chasing one another, it looked like something pulled right out of a horror movie, blood everywhere, organs on cars, the remaining humans that still seemed alive tried to climb from under the piling on top monsters. I tried to calm down, but honestly it was quite hard, I mean what else is a 15-year-old supposed to do in this situation? I remembered that my mom was out with some of her friends, I tried to call her, no answer, great, just great, panicking I sent my mom a text before deciding to text my Neighbour, Vaida.

NEON: VAIDA LOOK WHAT THE FUCK IS HAPPENING OUTSIDE 

VAIDA: I KNOW, I WAS SO SCARED I DIDN'T EVEN THINK TWICE ON TEXTING YOU; I WAS TRYING TO CALL MY MOM BUT SHE'S NOT PICKING UP! 

NEON: then I guess we're both in the same boat, don't leave the house, I'll get to you once the situation outside calms down.

I type as I get up from the ground, suddenly I felt a shiver going down my spine, it wasn't that nice feeling one, the one you get after you drink a hot cup of tea or finally get to sit down and relax under a warm blanket while watching your favorite tv show, it was the kind of shiver that just told you that noting good is going to happen, the kind of shiver that made you feel as if you're being watched. I quickly turned off all the lights, I didn't want to bring any attention to myself, but while doing all of this I couldn't help but cry, was my mom going to be okay? will she come home? is she safe in this exact moment? Did she...turn in to what I saw outside? so many questions yet no answers. pulling the blinds down on every window, I had to make sure that everything was covered, no one could know that I'm here.

I sat on the kitchens cold floor, a knife in hand, I was texting Vaida, we're both scared shitless at this point, I tried texting Oliwia but she's not answering my texts, I wonder if she's doing okay or if they got to her too? but my thoughts were cut off by the rapid banging on my front door, I didn't know who it was, and I know for sure it wasn't my mom, she would text me...right? I got up from the Kitchen floor, slowly making my way to the door, I peek around the corner, my door had a pretty see-through window on it, whoever...whatever was banging at my door was for sure NOT my mom, quickly going back in to the kitchen, as that's the only room I felt safe in I waited and waited and waited, for a call from my mom, for a text from Oliwia and for that damn thing to stop banging at my door, I could go crazy in here.

"first thing I'm doing once it clears up is cover up that window in my front door "

I thought to myself before I realized I'm exhausted, I'm used to staying up late but today I was especially tired, I tried to keep myself awake by texting more with Vaida but I soon realized that it wasn't working, getting up I splashed my face with some cold water, was the water even safe to use anymore? I couldn't care less, I was too tired to do so, from panicking about my safety to fighting a non-stopping war with myself, I can't go to sleep, no, I have to stay up and protect myself, and most importantly I was angry about the fact that I could even be slightly tired in a situation like this. 

spending another hour or two, I wouldn't know, I wasn't keeping track of time anymore I dedicated to keep myself awake, I even made myself coffee, which worked for a while before completely draining me from the last bits of energy I had, once the man disappeared there was nothing to keep me awake, no noises outside, no nothing, it as just me, myself, and I... that was until I heard another knock on the door, letting out an annoyed sigh I got up to feet peeking around the corner again, only to realize that the hair I could see through the front door window  looked a bit familiar., a bit too familiar, I got closer and closer to the door, tension building up in my body, I was so scared I felt as if I could explode from the high pressure building up in my brain due to my hearts rapid pumping of blood, at least it was doing what it's supposed to.. for now, before I heard a familiar voice.

"Open that god damn door! do you want me to die out here or something!?" 

it was Vaida! I quickly unlocked the door and let her in before locking it back up.

"omg Vaida! are you crazy!? I told you to wait till it all clears up! are you hurt? did they attack you?"

I couldn't help but ask questions, she was my best friend after all, I was worried, if I lost her, I would've lost the entire world, yeah, I still got Oliwia but she's not like Vaida, Vaida is special to me.

"Yes, yes I'm okay, I didn't even get scratched by those... people... they all just randomly left at one point, so I took the opportunity to get here"

Said Vaida, hugging me tightly, honestly, it's a relief. The rest of the very early morning felt like a blur to me, we were both crying until we realized it was already 6am, we had to think of a plan and at that rather quickly, I finally managed to get a text from Oliwia, she told us to specifically stay put and not leave the house, to ration our food and to make as many weapons as possible, we all need to wait until the situation calms down...if it ever will.
