"Katy Katy"

"It's your Birthday." Mum said as I opened my eyes. She gave me a hug and said

"Breakfast will be ready in five" mum went down stairs and to minutes later my little brother came in.

"Happy Birthday Katy, I made you a card here take it" he jumped on the bed and threw him self into my arms as if I hadn't seen him in ages. I loved the card it was really cute.

"Breakfast is ready" mum called up I put on my dressing gown.

Then we ran downstairs, mum looked worried I said

"what's wrong mum" bit she shock her said and said "later" I caught on quickly that it was something but it wasn't to be discussed in front of my brother.

"What are your plans for today Katy" mum asked

"I'm going in to meet Megan and Jamie at one o'clock in the square then go in to town depending on the weather." After breakfast I went upstairs to get ready I put on my new top that mum had got me. It had a picture of a dog on it and it said

"Too cute for your paws!" I liked it. I started to wonder what was wrong but never said anything so I decided to leave it. What ever it was it wasn't ruining my Birthday. I put on some make-up and through my hair up in a messy bun I left to bits down and curled them. I brushed my teeth and ran down stairs. Mum was on the phone so I shouted "bye, love you!" And closed the door.

The air was fresh and the street was full of smiling faces. I could smell ice cream coming from the square. I stopped to look at some of the stalls on my way there as I was early but when I got to the square Megan and Jamie where already there. The started to song happy birthday to me. And my face went bright red.

"Shhh shhh!" In shouted as they sang louder.

"Here take your present it's from the both of us." Megan said with a huge grin on her face.

"Thanks guys" I smiled. It was by far the best present I got. It was a album if all our memorise init. I loved it so much it even had a photo of us three on the first day if school.

"Soo do you like it, it's not great aw man sorry ?" Megan quizzed

"Don't be silly, it's perfect I love it."

Just as that the sky went black and the rain started bucketing down. We decided to make our way to the old house that no one had lived in for years, we always went there when it started to rain and when we where younger sit and play in the cellar. Now we just tell ghosts stories and muck around.

Just as I got there the bomb fell. This is when I realised what was going on. There had been warnings on the TV for asking as I could remember. I think we all just assumed that it was precautions because they where all ways on. I think I must of passed out because when I woke up I was in the cellar. Everything was really disorientating and I couldn't tell if I was alone or not. I tried to stand up and realised my leg was in sort of cloth bandage and my head was thumping. I tried to stand up but failed and collapsed on my leg. A guy came running over, must of been in his twenties or near that. He helped me up.

"Thanks." I gave a faint smile

"No problem" his voice was a lot deport than what I w as expecting it to be.

"What's your name?"

"Kate Boyle, you?"

"Nathan Sykes" I had heard that name before but wasn't sure where.

"How old are you?"

"Im sixteen today."

"This probibally Isn't the best birthday then being stuck in a cellar with a random stranger and also while there's a nuclear war going on in your home town"

"Nope not the greatest."

"Had you being giving your presents" he asked. Then it all came flooding back too me. Where's Megan? Where's Jamie? Is my mum and my little brother ok? Why are we stuck in this cellar. I then remembered I had the photo frame. I got it out of under my top I remember putting it there to keep it getting wet from the rain.

"Have you seen my friends? That's then there that was at the main square a month ago did you see them?" I was hopping Nathan would say yeah there just away to the shops and they will be back in half an hour. But he just shock his head.

"No sorry I haven't seen anyone for the last two days, I am not from here I was visiting family when the bomb fell. You where like 2 minutes away from me and you where hit with the force. There was men in suits with guns everywhere so I picked you up and I ran in to the house with you we haven't left the cellar either, we can't get out I suspect another bomb has fallen and the shock has causing the lock to stick." His face had no emotion he just said it so calmly where as I was in floods if tears.

"Thanks for saving my life." I said trying to smile.

"It's not over yet, I only have water to last us a few days and there was some food stashed in this cupboard. It's not a lot but. I think I have a plan in how to get us out of here though but I but your help. I want to wait until your leg is better tho I don't mind sharing my stuff with you. We are both situation right.

Everything had changed so much I am stuck in a cellar with a boy I hardly know and we are already planing to save each other's lives.
