I walked up to the door, opened it with my key and walked in. Ahh.........It still smelled and looked the same. I walked through the kitchen to get to the living room since I had the key to the side door which happened to be in the kitchen. Everything looked exactly the same. I guess they were in a rush since all the furniture was still there.

I walked pass the living room into the hallway that led to my room and stood outside the door. I was met with my normal, tidy bedroom.

 I got out a towel and some of my clothes and walked into my bathroom. After taking a shower and washing my hair, I got dressed and started to flat iron my hair. After an hour passed and I was done with my hair, I slipped on my black ankle boots and walked out of my room.

I was about to leave when I saw something brown and small in my peripheral vision that was in my parent;s room. I turned my head in that direction and saw my chihuahua, Chewy, laying in his cage.

"Why the heck would they abandon Chewy?" I thought aloud and walked in the room up to the cage. Chewy perked his head up and started getting excited. I opened his cage and he ran out to greet me. But not in a friendly way. He started growling, barking, and chasing me. That's when I noticed the lifelessness in his eyes.

"Aww SHIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"I screamed running out of the house. When I saw Trent standing up in the truck I screamed for him to pass me a gun. He threw me one and I ran toward the truck and did a flip, landing on the roof. Chewy followed but stayed on the ground barking and clawing at the truck. I shot him in the head then jumped down next to his lifeless body. I stared at him for a few minutes before I let out a low sob. I started crying. I cried over my poor dog,  I cried over my crappy life. But most of all I cried over the entire platter of bullshit this world was presented with when this disease took over.

I was crying so much that I didn't notice that someone had helped me up and was now holding me to their chest protectively. I stopped crying and looked up to see that Trent was staring at me with concern. I pulled myself away and muttered a thanks and he nodded his head. I composed myself and took out my phone and dialed the number that I haven't dialed since before I ran away. After 5 rings she finally answered.

"Hello?"

"Why did you just jeave?"I spoke through clenched teeth.

"Alise-"

"Answer my question."I was losing my patience.

"We couldn't find you, So when-"

"Don't you mean you didn't even try to find me? Or call to see if I were alive? Or call any of my friends to see if they heard from me? Or even call the police to fill out a missing person report?You -"I was interrupted.

"You make it seem like we never loved you." The woman I shall now call Beth, laughed humorlessly.

"Because you didn't!!!!!!!! You never did!!!!"I screamed into my phone.

"That's a lie and you know it." She sniffed.

"Oh really?Then how come every waking moment of my life with you, I felt like a slave, huh? How come you never even uttered the words I love you or even words of appreciation for that matter? How come you left me on my own to die, mom? The most simplest answer to all of those questions was that you didn't love me. You never have and you never will. So you know what mom? Screw you. Screw Steve, and screw your happy life." At that I hung up and stomped my way up to the gate that leads into my backyard. I kicked open the gate with tears streaming down my face. I opened the shed and found a shovel. Since they abandoned my furry friend, he at least deserves to be buried. I started digging a hole under my trampoline when Trent came and pulled the shovel out of my hands and started shoveling dirt.

Trent you don't-" I started.

"I want to. Just go chill in the house. I can handle this for you."He said with a smile. I pulled him into a hug and gave him a peck on the lips before walking towards the truck.

"Ok guys. I have a question...........If you like what you see inside my house......would you all like to stay here a bit? Just until we figure out a plan to reach Washington safely. " I glanced amongst the group and it was silent for a moment until Nick broke it.

"Well I have no problem with it. Not like we had any place in mind. What do you say granny?"He turned to Ellen.

"Hmm I agree. If Alise has no problem with it then we'll stay."Ellen said.

"Great. What about you guys?"I asked Bobby, Collin,and Trent. They agreed to stay and I proceeded to show them around my house. First I showed Ellen my parent's room where she would be sleeping in, then I showed the guys my sister's room where they would be sleeping 2 in the bed and 1 on the air mattress that I was gonna blow up for them, then I showed Jen my room since Haven already knew they'd be staying in my room and Kyle never leaves my side so he'd be sleeping there too. Everyone got adjusted in their rooms then went exploring. Bobby found out that the door near their sink was a path to my bathroom and my room so now he has easy access to my room at night or when I'm in the shower since the lock on my side of the bathroom is broken. 

Home Sweet Home........Not.
