: I walk down the stairs slowly holding my elbows. I don’t realize my eyes are full of tears and my face is wet until I sit down on the couch next to Dan.
“Nora?” I hear Emma say, I look down at her little face that is currently sitting on the floor next to me. its so unfair that a 13 year old should have to loose her parents, her brothers, and her ONE and only sister. Then I realize that me and Dan are the only ones that actually haven’t seen our families bodies.
“yeah-” I reply slowly noticing I was drifting on into space. “what are we going to do? I don’t want to be in a foster home. Or- or-” she didn’t know what to complain about first. “ here is what is bothering me the most, why isn’t there anyone answering the 911 call? Maybe our families arnt the only people dead?” Jake says depressingly. “we don’t know that, my mom just wont answer the phone, THAT DOES NOT MEAN THERE DEAD!” Dan said standing up and getting really angry. Its really scary when Dan gets mad. The only person I know that’s not scared of mad Dan is Emma.
“oh shut up Daniel. There dead and we all know it!” Emma says, Dan sits back down and puts his elbows on his knees and rests his head on his hands. “maybe there not dead, I mean its freaking 10:00 on a Saturday. My mom could be at work and my brother could be asleep still. I mea-” “NORA.” Cameron interrupted my unrealistic rezoning. There right. First of all my mother doesn’t even work on Saturdays.
We all sit there. With pain on the inside out. Angelica hasn’t even spoken yet, Dan is as angry as ever, Jake is still sitting there like a brick wall, Cameron still has moist eyes, Emma is realizing the entire situation slowly, and I am too.
All of our families are dead even though we haven’t seen Dan’s and mine own. The police aren’t answering any calls we dial. Which leaves us absolutely nowhere except for the fact that we are alone, absolutely alone, but together.
“what about the neighbors?” I ask. What if our families are the only ones dead. Without no communication except for simple eye contact Cameron and Dan leave to break into other people houses to check for any sort of life what so ever.
Jake was the first to speak. The first to think aloud. “they are all dead, because if people were alive they would be answering the other end of 911.” We all knew it was true but we didn’t want to, we didn’t want to except the fact that our own families were dead still. I just nod.
A few minutes later Dan and Cameron come back down looking really pissed and disappointed. As in Dan looked pissed and Cameron looked disappointed.
“dead, dead!, LIKE IT WOULD MATTER ANYHOW!?” Dan screamed punching the wall making a Dan fist sized hole. When he did we all flinched not expecting that. “calm down!?” Emma said as he sat down on the bottom of the stairs, and sighs. “this just as a traumatic event for you as the rest of us!?” Cameron says almost yelling. “oh shut up. Cameron.” Dan says back. “would you guys stop!” Jake says trying to calm everyone down. Dan stands up and starts shoving Cameron back. “you wanna go pretty boy?” Cameron said knowing that that tormented Dan. At that moment everyone was on there feet fighting except for angelica, she still sat there in that same position she’s been sitting in since Cameron revealed what happened.
Everyone I screaming, and insulting each other. Were all lucky it was all verbal and not physical or we would all die our self’s and join the club with everyone else. Angelica disappears without me realizing it, and comes back down with a blow horn and holds it and screams “SHUT UP ALL OF YOU BEFORE IS KICK YOUR @#%&*#!!!!!” and everyone goes silent, and the worst part is she did it right in the middle of Dan’s free throw punch, so right when everyone goes quiet, SMACK Cameron gets socked right in the face. No one laughs everyone just sits back down except Cameron, he’s kind of on the floor, everyone thinks he’s unconscious until he gets up and leans against the TV set
