Safe Haven

I'll start with some details. My name? I don't have one. My age? I guess I'm 16.

I don't know much about myself, well I do , I lied about not knowing my name, it's Rosie, but I don't like it anymore. It connects me to the past, it connects me to who I was...Guess you're wondering what i was.. Well I'll tell you, I was normal.

Yes, normal. I had a family, friends, a life. But all that changed when they came... By they I mean the aliens, yes, aliens! I know, crazy right? Wrong! That's the new normal now! Kids walking around with alien harnesses on them, big mechs walking round like they own the place, ironic because they do own the place. There's no president or government, nothing. Just some freaky ass aliens trying to taking over the planet.

Why? Who knows why, wish I did, things would make more sense I suppose. What I hate the most about my life now is that I'm alone, permanently alone, all I want to do us find somewhere safe to stay, all I want is a safe haven.

Well, there your little intro to my life, not the most interesting person am I? Ah well, like I care. I can shoot the shit out of anything, my aims pretty dodgy but I'll work on it. Could really do with someone to shoot with though. A shooting buddy, yeah, that'd nice. Not your average teen girl am I? Nope, won't find me swooning over lads,anymore. I can't anyway, they're all aliens. Didn't see this coming! First it's obsessing over Vampires, then Werewolves and now it's moved on to aliens, ridiculous! Well guess it's time to go scavenge the local stores, see what I can get for my dinner! I'm starving.

Not much of a walk to the stores, I mean I kinda just walk in a diagonal line and I'm there! Much quicker than how it used to be!

All of a sudden I heard a bottle smash on the floor.. God, i picked a bad time to go out without a weapon. I took cover behind a shelf and grabbed a tin of beans to serve as a weapon and if I lucky, dinner! I looked round the corner, i could just see a head, black hair, kinda spiked, nothing special. How can you style your hair in a alien invasion, he must have some pretty good long lasting gel! Oh getting off topic, i apologise! He got up off the floor, he was facing the opposite way from me, no harness. Another human! I mean an actual human!

"Hi" bad move, he turned round a pointed his gun at me.

"Who's there?" He asked.

"I'm not gonna hurt ya, I'm gonna stand up and walk out from behind this shelf, I don't have a weapon" I replied. God I'm so stupid! Who tells a person with a weapon that they them-self do not have a weapon! That just makes me an easier target. Anyway, I walked out from behind the shelf. He put his gun down.

"Who are you?" He asked.

"Ro-" I stopped myself. "You can call me Jess" fake name, smooth! Oh I can tell this wont go well.

"Well, hi Jess, I'm Hal, Hal Mason"

"Nice to meet you, Hal" I reached out my hand for a handshake. I'm so lame, I thought I was cooler than this, how am I letting a boy affect me like this! He shook my hand a laughed.

"So, are you part of a gang or are you alone?" Hal asked

"Alone...have been for a while now!"

"Well, how about you come back with me and join our 'army' type thing"

"I'd love too, thanks"

We left the store, empty handed. Parked outside the store was a black motorbike, wow!

"This yours?"

"Techincally, no. But finders keepers, hop onto the back I'll give you a ride there"

I smoothly got on the bike and we rode off into the sunset, just kidding. That's too girly, even for me! But still we did ride off followed by a cloud of smoke, I was surprised the mechs weren't following us! The slightest movement and they hunt me down. They must have a soft spot for attractive boys on bikes, who wouldn't? Oh god, I'm getting all girly again! Help me.
