The Last Of Us

Chapter Two: Start of a new world

"How long are you gonna take Emily!" Lori shouts as she pounds on the door for the 3rd time.

"Just a minute Lori! Calm down!" I shout back.

Lori is being really annoying. She took the longest time to get ready and now she's shouting at me for taking a long time to be ready. Well, to be honest, i am ready but I'm just concerned about the things the stupid news has been broadcasting. The only thing on each and every channel is about those 'cannibalistic' men and women who were killed by the police this afternoon. Now it's showing that in all the cities that surround Atlanta has these cannibalistic people and police are taking them down.People are saying it's like an apocalypse, the prophecy of the world ending is finally happening and the new world is coming.

The police suggested the people to stay indoors until things get in control but guess what people are doing? They are not staying in their homes, they are going out and doing their stuff just like we are doing. The police still haven't found any information about any new drug, they are out after every drug dealer looking for this particular one but this far, it's still a dead end and they haven't found anything on this mysterious drug that is known to turn people into something else.

"Aaron's here. Come out in 2minutes or we're leaving." Lori says, the frustration is clear in her voice.

I breathe in and out slowly, letting out a sigh after to calm myself from the thoughts that's going on in my mind. I look into the mirror, putting on some earrings and applying the dark red lipstick on my lips. The black knee length dress fitting perfectly with the curves of my body, making me look beautiful. Lori had bought this for me when we went out for shopping before coming here. I remember arguing with her on this dress but I guess I was wrong and this dress indeed looks good. I put on my black heels and tie my hair into a bun.

"I'm ready." I say as I walk out of the bathroom. I see Aaron and Lori sitting on the bed and immediately shifting their gaze at me after knowing my presence inside the room. Lori's mouth drops, her eyes go wide along with Aaron's like they are seeing something else.

"Girl, you're slaying in this! I told you this dress would look nice!" She squels after examining me for a few seconds.

"Thank you so much!" I said and I noticed Aaron looking at us.

"Hello." I raise an eyebrow, my hands resting on my sides.

" Oh, my my. You look great." He says waving his hand in front of him like he's fanning himself dramatically.

"Thank you. And, what about you two? You two are looking fabulous." I grin at them.

They say their thank you's and smile.
Truly they look good. Lori's knee length red dress hugging her body,the small stones of her dress shining bright. Her shoulder length red dyed silky hair resting on her shoulders. On the other hand, Aaron looking handsome as usual. White shirt and jeans, perfectly fitting with his puffed blonde hair.

"And let's go now or else we'll stuck here praising each other over here" Lori says as she picks up her purse, resting it on her shoulder.

"Yeah,let's go." Aaron says.

Lori walks out of the room and we follow her. We walk to the elevator and wait. When it finally opens, there is this weird, tall shady man with us in the elevator so we dodn't talk, we stay quiet like a mouse. We run out immediately as the elevators rings and the metal door opens. We rush through the gorgeously decorated lobby to main entrance  where our cab is already there. Aaron holds the door open and Lori slides in. I get in after followed by Aaron.

It hasn't been 2 minutes in the ride and Aaron tells the driver to play music and turn the volume up. The driver does as he says and plays music. Saturday night by Panic! At the disco blasts through the speakers. Aaron being as crazy as he is, starts screaming the lyrics and Lori starts with him hideously. I snort out a laugh at their craziness and join them in the
small party. I take out my phone and start recording all this. After about 5 songs we finally stop. I wonder how the driver didn't toss us out the cab yet with all the screaming and hideousness.
