Apocalypse Rising

The Gas Station

(This Part and To the end will be 1st person)

    The first thing I could do was panic there were so many things going through my head. I couldn't choose one single thing to do. I was deciding whether or not I wanted to go straight to Sara's(Girl I Text Everyday and Night) I decided that the best option was to check on her. I ran out of my house and was shocked at what I saw. There were people in the streets crying with there family. Looking Restless and Hopeless. I ran down the street towards Sara's. She only lived a couple blocks away. It only took 4-5 minutes for me to get there since I ran the whole way. I was in shock I couldn't really feel anything. The only conclusion I had was that I was going through every emotion at once which ended in a kind of numbing sensation through my body. I ran to her door and didn't even try knocking. I opened the door as fast as i could. It was locked. I ran to the other side of the house and tryed the back door. It was unlocked. I was so relieved to find that out. When I opened the door the scene in front of me was very familiar to the one at my house. Sara's mom dad and little brother were in the living room formulating a plan. I didn't help with the situation since I scared them to the point I made her mom cry. I asked where Sara was and they said she headed to my house. I was confused cause I didn't see her when I was on my way. I hurried too the front door and opened it. I nearly had a heart attack when I opened it and ran right into Sara. I held her and almost cried I was so happy to see her.  I hugged her and asked her where she went. Turned out she went through the park next door and climbed my fence. Doesn't surprise me she's pretty badass. She didn't seem very sad or anything I guessed she was going through the same thing as me. Now that I her and know she's okay I told her we needed to go get supplies. We headed inside and told her parents our plan. We were going to head to the gas station and fill the gas tank in my car as well as buy ALLOT of snacks . At first her parents weren't very fond of the idea. But after they realised there wasn't much of a choice they gave in. And we left. The drive to the store wasnt the smoothest of journeys. There were people everywhere panicking in the streets. I honestly don't understand what they think that will accomplish. When we got to the store we walked in and it seemed as if the place was abandoned. There was almost nothing left in the store. The only things we could find were a couple cans of refried beans. Which we took. No use in wasting it. We jumped when we heard a big bang outside. We could only think it was a car. We looked out the glass doors and saw a riot of people headed towards the store. Slowly but surely making their way to our position. We couldnt understand why this place over everywhere else. We hurried and grabbed what we could. And stuffed it in the bag we brought. We opened the doors and ran to the car. I started the car and looked behind us. The people were right there. Staring at us. I looked at sara with a confused look. She had the same expression on her face. I thought about how I was going to get out of the parking lot. I could back up but I would end up hitting people. In the end I decided to run over the grass and we were back on the road. We made it back to her house without problem. And we sat down at her table along side her parents. And looked at the supplies we ended with. Sara grabbed the bag and dumped it on the table.

Supplies:
3 Cans of Refried Beans
4 Packs of Matches
2 Lighters
1 Pair of Scissors

Not much, but it will work. It was about 6:30pm but we decided to get ready for bed since we have nothing better to do at this point. The TV stations were an endless loop of the broadcast I saw on my phone with the time counting down.

Time Remaining:
