How I Survived Hurricane Irene

Chapter 4

I have cried a total of maybe five times today. I can't help it now. Moment after moment something happens. it's a never ending cycle of horror and 'what if?'s.

What if?

what if I never see my friends again?

what if I can't find Charlotte's parents?

what if I die?

There are so many questions that I still have yet to answer.

Meanwhile, the wind howls as it throws objects into the air, sending them off like a King would if one of his servants disobeyed him.

The lights continued to flicker on and off as the storm continued. Everyone's gotten so used to it that they don't gasp when they go back off anymore. It's like a cycle.

Everything's a cycle. It's no-stop, just continues over and over. I don't think it will end now.

People are saying that the hurricane is almost over; I want to believe it, but at the same time it seems like it's getting worse. I tell my self I need to forget about it and pray for worse to go and the best to come.

I wonder what Hunter is doing. If he is okay; is he worrying about me; does he even realize that I'm in a life or death situation. I remember him telling me he was at the park to... what if he is in the same shelter. I should call him... but I don't have good signal down here. I should try anyways. I dialed his number and clicked call. About a few yards down from someone's phone started to ring. In my luck it was Hunter. I told him where I was he came and held me in his arms.

I went to sleep like... I woke up to screaming. I wasn't sure if it was good or bad but I wanted to know. Hunter was still holding me and he had this big grin on his face like the best thing had just happened. Charlotte woke a few minutes afterwards looking wide awake. I looked at her and placed her in my lap then decided to ask him about the screaming. Everyone had been screaming because of something but it was hard to ask with it being oh so loud.
