The End

Chapter 3

I slowly make my way down the stairs and hear many, many sobs coming from my family. I'm probably the only one not crying, which is pretty unusual since I'm usually the emotional one. I sat down on the couch, beside my little cousin Sophie, who seemed to be okay. I grabbed the remote and turned on the tv, choosing to watch a cartoon, for my little cousin's sake. She started giggling at the tv as a character fell from a cliff and somehow was alright.

4:18 pm.

I layed on my bed and put my earphones in my ear. I opened up YouTube on my phone and typed in my favorite bands name. Clicking on funny moments I laid there and giggled and cried. Suddenly the video stopped and Quinn's name popped up on the screen, I quickly answered it and said hello.

"Hey Rose what's up?" She said in a casual tone.

"Nothing much. Y'know other than fact that we'll all be dead in about 3 hours, but other than that, nothing." I said in a sarcastic tone.

"It's really starting to hit me. Before I thought it was just one of those things where people make it up, like in 2012, but now that it's on the news and everything, it's really going to happen." In the last few words of her sentence I heard her burst out in tears.

"Don't cry Quinn, it's going to be alright." But as I said those words. It really sunk in. I'm going to die. Tears flowed down my face. We both stayed on the line and just listened to each other cry.

"I love you so much, you know that right?" Quinn said into the phone. I nodded my head but quickly remembered she couldn't see me and said,

"Yea, I love you too, so much." I heard my mom call my name.

"Hey look, I have to go, but I'll call you before 'it' happens. Okay?" I said.

"Okay, bye Rose." She said and we both hung up.
