Ryan's POV

"Geronimoooo"

"lOUIS SHUT UP. ITS LIKE 8 IN THE MORNING"

I turned over in my bed as Lou continued to scream. There was no use trying to sleep so I may as well get up.

Slowly I walked down stairs to the kitchen. I grabbed a cereal box and walked into the living room. I flipped the telly on and started to flip through the channels. The news came across the telly and so bored out of my mind I sat and watched patiently.

I sat and watched as the people started to make funny jokes and laugh and then talk about this person going to jail and this person selling drugs but then what came across my attention was and a huge earthquake in the San Francisco area. I watched as live reporters were there talking about 12 house collapses and 13 people in critical condition and so on.

One reporter stopped a blonde girl named Ginger Sonders who was crying hysterically as she explained what happened as her mother was being taken to the hospital. Something about her hit me. I needed to make her day and see her...

"Awwww does our little Ry ry have a crush"

"Shut up Cory" I muttered under my breath.

"No cause our little Ryan has a crush"

I turned to see that the girl had the one side of her head swollen. She herself was probably going to be admitted in to the ER for a while. I wanted to see this girl. I grabbed my coat and still had my cereal in hand, I made a few calls and in less than 3 minutes a car was waiting outside to take me anywhere I needed to go.

Gingers POV

My mother is gone.

My house is gone.

My simple happy life is completely gone.

Dear God why would you do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?

Around me the world was swimming I couldn't focus on anything. I tried to give my account to someone as they dug my mom from out under the rubble, but I only got a few seconds in before I broke down crying.

The reporter had moved on to the next witness and I tried to stand up but when I did I collapsed in a heap. My head hurt so bad and I started to drift away into a sleep

Before drifting off I felt arms grab me and life me on to a soft cushioned surface. Someone checked my pulse and the voices sounded urgent and soon I heard doors shut and my body gave in and I fell asleep to the sound of sirens.
