I woke up to absolutely nothing. No sounds, nothing. 
I could hear the slight rain and breeze rattle to my window. But other than that it was nothing. Today was Wednesday, so I was suppose to have school this morning. But when I looked at the time it was 10:00am and I get woken up at 7:30am. I know I was normally late, but I couldn't afford to be this late.I wonder why no one came to wake me up..
I quickly did my hair and got dressed, there was no time for makeup. I ran down the street till I finally arrived at school, the gates and doors were locked so without thinking I jumped them, rushed to my locker, rushed to my class. But something wasn't right. I hadn't even realised there was no traffic on the way here, everything is locked and there is no students or teachers in their classrooms. 
It must be a day off school. No one bloody told me!

I walked home quite fast, I was becoming a bit of a nervous wreck. There were absolutely no vehicles, people or anything on the roads. Nothing!
I was the only person around. And I couldn't understand why. I didn't question too much and just continued my walk home. When I finally was there I layed down on the couch and used my phone to try contact my mum , sisters and brothers, dad and grandparents. But they all went straight to voice mail. So after that I called everyone on my contacts list and still no one answered.
So by now I was getting reaaalllyy anxious. 

I circled the loungeroom, over and over, trying to think of a solution. 
I decided to let it go, because they probably just went out without telling me. Typical "family". 

I was up all night. I cooked myself some party-pies and chips, sat down and watched a movie in a ball with my doona covering me. I was actually really enjoying myself. It got to about 2:00am and I eventually fell asleep. I had a really vivid dream: Myself and another person were left as the last of humanity. And we were trying to survive and live out our life until our time was up, and just when I nearly died; I woke up. 
I woke up screaming, crying as sweat rolled down my forehead. Especially then I was almost having an heart attack. What if that really is what's happening? What if i'm all that's left?
My heart was throbbing like crazy and I couldn't think straight. My head was pounding and I was starting to get really dizzy. I dragged my feet to the nearest drain (which was the sink) and threw up in it. I fell asleep on my kitchen floor until sunlight grew stronger and shon through my windows. I felt terrible, but I had deffintely calmed down. I got myself up and without even thinking I walked straight out the door and started knocking on people's houses. I walked down 14 streets, knocking on almost 200 houses. It was a long and painful day, but it was getting dark and there was still no sign of existence. I managed to get myself back home. I think I was dried out of tears by now. And my heart has almost gaven up from all the rush, and my blood has almost stopped pumping from all my adreneline. I got home, fell asleep on the couch with a light blanket for 7 hours. 
I continued to lie on the couch and try contact people, eat and sleep for about 8 days. They were a long 8 days. 

I had no vitemin D in me and I desperately needed some. Although for the last 8 days the weather has been absolutely shit, pouring down rain and wind I still needed to get some fresh air. So I went for a walk. But then I heard a rambling noise...
