I woke up in the same place I was before, every part of my body aching. I stood up slowly, and saw Austin sitting on a log.
"You're okay." I breathed out, and relief washed over me. I sat next to him and tears rolled down my face.
"I haven't seen Keeley yet. I've seen everyone except Keeley."
"Well lets go and find her."
Liv, Zeke and Hana all came over at once.
"You guys are okay." They sobbed. We all sat together, crying for a moment.
"We have to find Keeley." I said.
"She's over there." Zeke pointed at the other side of the field.
"She was lying down but we couldn't tell if she was okay or not, and we had to find you guys first." Liv said, nervously.
I picked up Austin's hand.
"No. You go. I'm scared." Austin sighed.
So I stood up and ran over to where Zeke had gestured.
I looked around until I saw Austin's sister's familiar curly blonde hair and ran over.
"Keeley?" I asked. She opened her ice blue eyes. I recognised them from Austin.
"Keeley!" I grinned, helping her up.
"Is Austin okay?" She cried.
"Would I be this happy if Austin wasn't okay?" I asked.
"Where is he?" She asked.
I lead her over to the logs we had all been sitting on before.
"KEELEY!" Cried Austin, hugging her.
I smiled at the cute family reunion, and then, I heard someone call my name.
"Emily?!"
"Louis!" I ran over to my friend... he was carrying someone.
Cara.
"No." I whispered. He nodded, dropping onto his knees.
I hugged him, crying.
"Cara." I whispered as he placed down her limp body. He sobbed. And sobbed. And I hugged him.
"Is there many others dead inside?" I asked, as calm as I could manage.
"Three. Vicky, Lorraine from the band below us and Stephen."
"Stephen?" I asked.
"I'm sorry, Em." Louis whispered.
"NO!" I yelled. Austin ran over to me.
"Emily! Calm down."
"Stephen died." I whispered.
"Oh, Emily." Hana whispered.
"He can't be dead. No. I didn't even see him this morning, he was with dad..."
Austin hugged me close as I cried.
"Who else has died?" Asked Liv, quietly.
"Vicky, Cara and Lorraine from the band below." I sobbed.
She sat down next to me and wrapped an arm around me.
"I need to go home." I sighed, getting out my hover board.
"We'll come too." Sighed Zeke. I smiled gratefully. We all jumped on our hoverboards, Louis included, and jetted off to my house.
"Honey! They put it on the news. You're alive!" She sobbed, "where's your brother?!"
I sighed, "He... he didn't make it."
Mom stared at me blankly. She didn't move, she didn't speak, just silently stared at me. And then she just walked out of the room, and I could hear her crying even though she shut the door.
