My emptiness fills the hospital as I walk along the dark hallways, lights flicker as I sigh.
My life isn't what it used to be. I changed since it all started.
I wasn't alone then, now I just walk the hallways of houses,shops,schools and hospitals ect,looking for ways to stay alive.I had friends. Only 12 hours have passed since we were already a month in. Only 12 hours since everything went wrong. Why me?
***
1 week before it all started."Stacey!" A loud voice echoed the empty hallway. "Rachel?" Why is she shouting like that?
"Stacey, Stacey, stacey . Eeeqqq." She squelled in excitment.
"OK so tell me ,what is it?"
"DID you even look at the papers? It's fucking awesome and kinda scary, here look."
"An outbreak?" Some new disease that's spreading. Un curable. Millions of people already dead. "Hold on when did you get this?"
"I was rummaging through the trash-"
"Why were you rummaging through the trash?"
"That's another story. Well anyway, I was rummaging through the trash and came across this. It's dated 2 weeks ago, by now they've probably already found the cure. I mean they always do."
I passed the paper back to her" so you know where the rest of our so called friends are?" I said sarcastically.
Rachel shaked her head." no."She sighed.
"Well i got to go. C-ya on monday."
"Bye!" She yelled excitedly back.
Rachel was my best friend. She's a bit of nerd she likes exciting things. Things that will get her on her tip toes.
A Tall figure stopped in front of me. Instantly I knew it was Amber. One of the most tallest people in the school. It was a bit awkward for her but it never really bothered anyone. We were friends because of who we were.
"Hey amber."
"Hey."
"Did you just see Rachel? You seem in a rush?"
"No, i just heard my dad was In hospital. My mum sounded really worried too."
She quickly pushed past me before I could say anthing. I hope she's okay and her dad of course. Amber is the type of person who really cares for her friends,rachel was once pushed but really gently, then amber went back to the person who did it gave them free food which she spat all over.
I pull out my phone to text Noah and Jordan. I was quite worried about them too as I hadn't seen them since Wednesday.Ring ring. Ring ring.
"Hello? Noah? Where are you?""I'm in the hospital with Jordan. He's quite ill. I've been here with him for two days. He's not getting better."
"Noah! Why didn't you tell any of us?"
"I did! I told Rachel and and Amber"
"Why didn't you tell me?!"
" I-I didn't want to make you worried you already seemed a bit put off this week too."
Even though I didn't know it myself he was right I hadn't been feeling myself. Something was bothering me like a mouldy stench that follows you around all day.
"Well whatever, I going over to see you at the hospital. Bye."
I stabbed the end call button fiercely with my thumb. I can't believe he never told me.
The hospital was quite ruggard but it was old. Hundreds of people go in and out there everyday, that's probably why.
I wondered around like a lost puppy looking for it's mum. I look over to the reception and start to make my way for it until I crash into something hard. I take my hand to feel around-"a face?" I wasn't expecting to bumb into a person that felt like a wall. I quickly pushed of."I'm so sorry I didn't mean t-" before I could finish I was cut of by a deep voice.
"Stacey. I was looking for you"
"Noah? What the hell I thought you were a wall!"
"Well anyway Jordan,will be glad you came. Before you go in you might want to re-Consider."
"No re-considering. I'm going in"
After a few flights of stairs we reached the room. Noah opened the door for me.
"Aren't you coming in with me?"
"Only one visitor allowed at a time." He smirked.
I punched his arm before I started to pace towards the door. My heart started to beat faster. Something was wrong. Terribly wrong. I didn't want to go in anymore, but I had to he was my friend.
Before I steped into the room my phone sudenly started to ring.
"Oh my JEsUS that scared the sh##$ out of me!"
Noah bursts out laughing " you better get that!" He said while attempting to gasp for air.
"Hello?"
"Honey?" My mum asked worried
"Yeah me. What's wrong?why do you sound so worried?"
"You need to get home NOW."
I threw my phone in my bag and started to run. I knew something was up it already showed the bad news in her tone. I wanted to get home and see my family. My mum.
"MUM!"I shout, as I slammed the door behind me.
"Stacey? Why are you shouting?"
"You told me to come home i thought something was wrong" I said in a stern voice.
"Stacey" my mum paused for a couple of seconds. "We have been told to stay in our houses we're not allowed to exit our houses for 6 days."
"What?"I asked confused.
"There has been an outbreak of some new disease. Those who are infected by it need to be quarantined. So we need to stay in here for a while, it's a good thing I stocked up the cuboards with food."
I took the news better then I thought. After that I just went up to my room to absorb the infomation I had been fed.
2 days later (Sunday evening)
Jordan had passed away now. I cried hoping for him to come back to life, hoping it was a dream. I phoned Noah to see if he was okay. He sounded worse than me even though he was trying to hide it. I spoke with him for hours I didn't want him to be alone.
After a while my mum called me down to see the news. Apparently they've been keeping the dead bodies in labs around the world looking for a cure.
"Bodies are being transported in and out of different countries. Will this be the end. Reporting live from uniton, back to you Kate."
I hoped that they found the cure. Already two days had passed, and I can feel the depression of the whole world.
I sat bored for four more days not a single one I enjoyed. I was mostly locked up in my room mourning the death of Jordan.Well at least it counted for a school holiday, altough not really. With only Friday left of the week,what else could go wrong. I packed my bag, dressed myself in my uniform and left ready to see all my friends.
***That day I left changed my life
