The Maia and Ross Diaries 2

C55 - I Loved

I could hear glass cracking and I could feel the blow to my chest. The noise had reverberated over the sleeping town as efficiently as a thunder clap and by now the police department's finest would be on their way, siren's blazing. The lights in the building exploded into darkness and the debris fell on top of me. Geysers of hot ash and molten rock spouted upward and I knew. Something in me was taken away forever before I could even get a hold on the situation. Bad things were prone to happening. A rapist attacked me almost four times and I had to finally kill him, both of my parents are dead, I was almost killed by my friend's father who had murdered that friend, my husband slept with someone else, I even nearly drowned and my daughter was abused by a simple boy. But this - lifted me into the air - and went boom.

Maia laid on the ground of the building and felt like it would collapse any second from underneath her showing how life just doesn't last long for people like her. Nothing was going through her mind in particular but the fact that her arms felt torn off. She tried to regain train of thought and motion while attempting to get up from the ground, but the peace of fading away only made her more scared to open her eyes. A entire SWAT team had arrived outside the disastrous event, she could hear the yelling. The screaming ringing through the halls interrupting the quiet silence after the explosion.

Get up, please! She heard it but struggled to actually acknowledge someone was here to help her. Once she opened her eyes to the crisp burnt ceiling there was no going back into the coma she thought she was in. Get up!

When Maia saw Nina screaming her name she began to shake, her eyes catching human contact with another person made them grow larger after the impact. She remembered she invited her friends- and her friends brought her daughter.

Nina was horrified with the last and loudest, "Get up!" prowling through the destroyed cosmic hall Pulling her loose arm with full dominance which made Maia scream at the feeling it cost her. Her right arm made her intact with realness of the situation. The flickering lights, the black holes in the wall, and the fallen debris spread across the floors around her... She saw the blood leaking from her own arm, and it only made her shake harder at the shock of seeing her body out of place.

Nina quickly cut off a long piece of Maia's pants with a shard of glass, taking the soft material and taking her time to wrap it around her wound, making her bite her lips to try not to scream. "Someone is trying to kill you!" Nina screamed in a loud sob. She wasn't lying, nor' did she take it lightly. Her face was covered in dirt and blood fell from her head, as I realized that was possible. I am toxic. "Where's, where's Ross, and Peyton?" I murmured standing up slowly feeling pure movement in my legs and a empty space around my chest and ribs.

Nina coughed loudly and drastically. Everything was louder, more immense, as the screaming stopped. "Maia, I don't know."

I shook my head no, mumbling nu uh to myself, mumbling over and over aloud that this couldn't be happening. It happened right after I had the nerve to tell my husband of years to basically get out of my life and this was my wish being granted. He wasn't in sight, my head was blowing in to many directions and I felt sick to my entire stomach. It was all my fault.

I listened to the sounds, Nina gripping onto me so I didn't trip into the ground. "Do you hear that sound Nins? Do you hear that, where is it coming from?" I squinted my eyes down the hall trying to see a sign of somebody. I couldn't believe everybody I knew and loved was out here and I couldn't find them. Wall on top of wall on top of small bugs that tried to escape. It might've been the most disgusting, horrible thing I could ever pin point in such little detail.

It was hot. Fire took place in the burning Cafeteria where I see Cristina welling at the sight of something on the ground. The radiation and the intense pressure it creates in the air made me feel as if I lived through being in a earthquake... a strong one. But it wasn't even close to that. "Cristina!"
