The next morning, as soon as I wake up I can tell something isn't right. I check my phone, and it's one p.m. Oh no! I have to be at the party by four, and the drive is an hour. I rush out of bed, and run downstairs. My dad is sitting in the living room watching tv.
"Dad...?" I say. He is almost never home this early. Something is up.
"Sweetie, you're up. I have something to say" he starts. He motions for me to sit next to him. I sit down on the couch, a couple of feet away from him. "I have cancer." And that's when everything began to fall apart. Tears swell up in my eyes.
"Daddy." I cry. I wrap my arms around him and give him a big hug. I cry and he crys.
"Sweetie, don't worry. I'm going to be okay." he says. I pull back and nod, and stand up to make breakfast. "Don't worry, I already have eggs on the counter for you."
"Thanks." Just as I'm about to go get my eggs, I have to ask him one thing. "Daddy?"
"Yes darling?"
"Are you going to be okay?" I ask. He comes over to me and hugs me.
"Of Course I am."
"I love you daddy."
"I love you too."
My outfit is a tight red dress (no straps) and black heels. I curl my brown hair and off we go. Faith, Edith and Victoria are taking me.
"Hey guys." I say as soon as I get in the car. I'm sitting in the back with Vicky.
"Hey." They all say. In the duration of the car ride, we listen to the latest pop songs, talk about my breakup with Chris, and talk about Faith's boyfriend. We finally arrive at the bar. "Fake I.D's read to go?" Faith asks? We all hold ours up, and we get a parking spot. "Think of this as... your breakup party.
When we get in, everyone is dancing and singing. We take a seat on the bar stools and order. Four beers, and some nachos.
I don't remember the rest of that night. All I know it consisted of me getting really drunk, dancing, then passing out in an alley.
My eyes flutter open. "Where am I?" I ask. No one is here though. My head hurts bad, like a mini bomb went off in my head. I hold my hand against my head and sit up. I am on some kind of couch, in an empty room. Then I hear footsteps.
"Thank god, you're awake." It's a boy.
"Who are you?" I ask. He stands in front of me now.
"I'm Damon." He sticks out his hand. I don't shake it.
"I'm going to need some explanations."
"Right." He takes a seat next to me. I scoot over a bit. "Let's start from the beginning. A while back, I was chosen in to be a part of the AAT. Stands for Alien Assassination Team by the way. I don't know why, but you deserve to know, everyone deserves to know. I wish someone said the same to me. Anyways, my job was to find someone who's life was troubled, and I've been looking everyone. Then yesterday, I saw you. Your boyfriend broke up with you, then this morning you found out your dad had cancer-"
"Whoa whoa whoa, Alien!? Wait, you stalked me!? Please, please, please tell me what is going on!" I cry.
"Aliens exist. The 'storm' that is coming is called the before shock. A before shock is what happens 5 days before aliens come for whatever reason."
"I have to get out of here. You're crazy!" Before I even know what I am doing, I smack him in the face and run. I relize now that I have been changed into leggings and a sweater, but that's besides the point. My feet are bare against the cold floor.
"Kayla, people will not be as nice to you as I was. Get back here!" No, he isn't chasing after me, but I still run. I push through the metal double doors and find myself in a conference room... full of people.
"Please, please, someone tell me what is going on." A woman stands up.
"Kayla," she says. "Welcome to AAT."
