Ch 18: PT. 2: Hurricane Season

"EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP! GO TO YOUR ROOMS AND DONT COME OUT UNTIL YOU CAN BE NICE TO EACHOTHER! I DONT WANT TO SEE ANYONES FACES UNTIL YOU CAN APPOLOGIZE TO EACHOTHER!" She yelled and we all walked off. I gravbed my guitar and blanket and walked to my room. Everyone slammed their doors causing me to jump. But I didnt slam my door. I carefully shut it.

I was over tonight and I wanted it to end. Thankfully I was exhausted and could quickly fall asleep.

The morning came and the rain had stopped. There were light small thunder booms and some soft wind. When I woke up in the mornig I realzied that and stepped outside on my small balcony. There were tree limbs and broken bricks on it. This place looked horrible. This hurricane did alot of damage. So did our fight last night.

I started it all. I hid something and made him look for it. That started it all. So stupid of me. I only wanted a bit of fun. But I guess it wasnt the right time. I give up. I have to get out of here.

I changed my clothes into some leggings and a pretty big shirt. I slipped on my shoes and quietly slipped downstairs and out the door. I left the house. There was some debris in the back of my truck so I didnt mind it. At least no vehicles had no broken windows or flat tires. Only some small dents but those could be easily fixed. I left a note in the kitchen telling that I had left. We are all mad at eachother but they still would worry if I had just disapered without a trace of evidence telling if I was okay or where I was going.

Im going back to my beach house. To see if any bad damage was done. Once I got there I went inside. Busted windows and small amounts of water damage to the inside of the house. Broken glass everywhere and large puddles of water.  "Damn." I said to myself. First word id spoken since yesterday.

I walked upstairs to see no other windows broken. Only a few windows down stairs were broken. Not bad damage. Easy fix for me. I spent the next few hours cleaning the house up. I made sure to dry the water and clean the glass up all the way. I went to the store and got plastic wrap and covered the broken windows.

I charged my phone since I found a power bank. "Lucky." I said to myself getting some water. It charged my phone all the way then I decided that it was time for me to go and say sorry to everyone. And I meant it. I was sorry. I am sorry.

Once I got back to the house everyone was sitting in the den quietly. The note I had written was on the table in the middle of everyone. The den was how it looked before the hurricane hit us. Like nothing changed. But the atmosphere was heavy. Dence with rising anger.

I sat down and decided on what to say. No one spoke a word or looked at eachother. "Alright. This has gone on long enough. Im sorry. Im sorry I took your things and hid them from you. I was only trying to have a bit of fun. Im sorry I yelled at y'all. And Im sorry. Okay. I am seriously sorry." I said meaning every word that I said. No one said anything. After all that. No one said anything. "Im sorry I yelled at you all and said I didnt want to see you until you could say sorry." Mel said sadly. Like her own words hurt her.

"Im sorry I yelled at you all." Zach said looking at every one. "Im sorry I yelled at you for trying to have fun and im sorry I couldnt take a joke." Tyler said. "Im sorry I yelled at y'all for yelling at eachother." Bryan said causing us to laugh. The atmosphere around us lifted a bit. We all appologized. Me first Bryan last. I kinda expected it. That man can hold onto an attitude.

"Since the hurricane is over. Lets go help our community clean up." Zach said. "No one is out there. The storm is supossed to get worse tomorrow." I said. "How do you know that?" Tyler asked me. "When I went to my house I heard it on the radio. What little but came through. Its awful out there. This hurricane did bad damage. The only people out there are police fire fighters and EMTs." I said. "We may want to make another run Mel." I said. She agreed and got ready to go.

"Anyone want anything specific if we can find it?" I asked. "Candy." Tyler blurted out. I laughed at that. I knew someone would want candy. "A deck of cards." Bryan said. "Nothing for me but thank you." Zach said politely. Chris just shook his head no. "Candy and cards it is." I said walking outside. I got into my truck and Mel came out shortly after I did. She got into my truck then eyes the other cars.

"No broken windows or flat tires. Small dents from the falling debris though. Fixable." I said pulling out of the drive way again. As we drove down the street I was driving over branches and peices of houses. "This is bad." Mel said as we continued to drive. "I know. Just wait till be get up this way more." I said pointing. Once we got there she seen what I seen. Police and EMT's digging people out of housed that have colapsed and piling the bodies of the passed humans and animals. "So much death." I said sadly. We got to the store. We went inside and seen glass on the floor and water at least 2 inches. "Lets just get what we need and go." Mel said. I didnt bother grabbing a cart Mel and I just walked around trying to find what we needed. We got a few flashlights and packs of batteries. Shockingly we found them. We found candy and decks of cards.

I got a few power banks and solar charged battery packs. Luckily for me I knew how to make them if I couldnt find them. I was a lonely child and had alot of free time on my hands. We left the store and made out way back home.

When we got back the doors were locked. "Open the doors!" I yelled banging on the door. "Guys open up!" Mel yelled as well. After a few mimutes Bryan came to let us in. He looked around behind him and quickly pulled us inside locking the door. Luckily we didnt have to go back outside for anything else.

"Whats goin-" I stried to say. He shooshed us pulling us to the ground. Mel had an all too knowing look on her face. Like she knew what was going on. "Shhh." Mel whispered as Chris silently passed by us like he was looking for someone. "Game?" I mouth the word. Bryan nods and mouths words back to me. "Hide and seek."

"Chris is it?" Mel asks silently behind me. Bryan nodded and we took out shoes off. I picked up the bags and sat them softly in the kitchen behind the island. Tyler was behind the island ducking. I ducked beside him. "I joined the game. Mel and I joined the game." I said in a low almost silent whisper. He nodded and we could here foot steps comign into the kitchen so we pressed outselves against the counter. "I know youre in here." Chris said. Tyler crawled around the counter to avoid Chris but I didnt. Chris found me.

"FOUND SKYLAR!" He yelled loudly. Groans could be heard around the house coming into the kitchen. "Ive never played this before give me a break." I said thowing my hands up in surrender. "New game?" Mel asked coming into the kitchen. "Explain the rules this time?" I asked. There were a few nods and we all sat down.

Well. That issue was figured out and everyone went back to having fun. But did you catch what Skylar said?
"The storm is supossed to get worse tomorrow." More rain? More thunder? Worse flooding? Whats going to get worse? It is only a prediction. Do you think the storm will get worse or not?
