I'm watching TV when the news interrupts

"Tornado warnings for the following counties" it says

Then I hear the name of our county

"Pete!" I yell

He comes out of the kitchen in his sweat pants

"What?" he asks

"Tornado warnings" I say

"Yeah so?" he asks

"Well we might end up in the basement" I say

"Whatever" he says

"Don't go back upstairs" I yell

"Shit I cant believe you" Pete says sitting on the couch next to me

That's when my phone rings

"Hello" I say

"Hey pat" my mom says from the other end

"Mom what's up?" I ask

"Oh you have a tornado warning are you in the basement?" she asks

"No mom I will be fine" I say

"Whatever don't come to me whining after the tornado actually comes go to your sisters" she says hanging up

"Dude your mom is so funny" Pete says

"Yeah she calls every time there is a freaking storm warning around here" I say

He chuckles and that's when the TV goes out

I get up and look outside

"Pete it's really green outside" I say

"Yo chill" Pete says

Hemingway Pete's dog comes running and he is freakin out

"Look Hemingway knows what's up we should go downstairs" I say

"Hemingway just has to pee" says Pete

"Whatever" I say

Pete takes the dog out and comes back

"Wow" Pete says

"What?" I ask

"It is green but I am not going downstairs till I have to" he says

"Whatever" I say

Pete goes to the kitchen and comes back with the pizza that we got for dinner

"What are you doing?" I ask

"If the siren does sound then we will need food what better than pizza" he says

I chuckle

"Whatever when your starving I'm not sharing" he says

The siren starts going off Pete grabs a blanket a pillow and water and he takes the pizza

I have 2 sweatshirts a blanket and a pillow

---------------------------------

It is like 12 pm and Pete is freaking eating all the pizza already

"Pete stop!" I say

"I'm hungry" he whines

"So?" I say

"And that damn siren is still going off and it's been an hour" he whines

"Go to sleep" I say

"I can't bitch" he says

"Sorry" I say

I put my pillow on the downstairs couch and pull my blanket on and Pete does the same on his couch

That's when I hear it the swish and sucking of the tornado sucking apart our house

Hemingway is flipping so Pete picks him up and puts him under his blanket

I fall asleep but at 7 am Pete wakes me up and there is a firefighter yelling and motioning for us to get out

So I grab my stuff and Pete's an Pete gets Hemingway

I call my sister

"Hello" she says in a grumpy just woke up voice

"Hey sis umm my house got hit by a tornado last night and its in ruins" I say

"What?" she says

"Yeah" I say

"What do you want me to do about it at 7 in the damn morning" she says

"Ummm can me and a band member stay at your place for awhile?" I ask

"Fine since you practically bought this huge house for me and I the only one who lives here" she says

"Thanks" I say

"When will you be here?" she asks

"I have no idea em's" I say

"Ok bye patty cakes" she says

"Bye" I say

I hang up

"Pete we are gonna stay at my sisters" I say

"So?" Pete says

"So promise me you will leave her alone I love her but she has too many problems anyway she doesn't need a trouble maker like you to fall in love with" I say

"What do I do just not talk to her I can't help if she falls in love with me" he says

"Just don't lead her on ok no flirting" I say

"Ok" he says

"And especially no dating her or buying her expensive stuff ok" I say

"Ok" he says

We get the stuff that wasn't ruined and then we go shopping for a lot of new things

8 suite cases full of cloths in the trunk and shoes and other accessories in the back seat of Pete's black SUV

We are on our way to my sisters in Chicago from California

2 days of driving here we come
