“fuck fuck fuck RUN NOW” seth screamed grabbing the boy by the arm and yanking him towards the tech wing. The helicopters roared overhead and were fading away as they approached the center of the town. The two stumbled over broken tables and chairs trying to outrun the incoming explosion. Seths face dripped with sweat and his body burned like a hot fire, he had never run so fast in his life and the boy was having trouble keeping up. “W-WHATS WRONG” the boy spat out between wheezes. . He stumbled and fell, crying out as he hit the ground. “G-GET UP NOW” Seth yelled trying to drag him along.

 Seth knew that he only had moments before detonation, so he opened a utility closet and through them both in. The tall room was made out of gray cinderblocks. He slammed the door shut with a loud CRACK. Everything fell silent except for their rushed breath. They waited in silence while squatting in the small cramped closet. Then they heard it; the high pitched whistling. Before anyone could respond the world fell apart. The ground convulsed and jolted all over the place and metal screamed as it fell.  The room shock and seth heard the walls crack. A load bearing wall hit the ground and the shock sent the closet door flying off its hinges, the door hit the both off them and everything went black.

The entire carpentry room shook with a violent shudder. The lights immediately went out and the kids stuck in the room screamed. “WHATS HAPPENING” one of the kids yelled out. Her words were muffled out by the booms and explosions. Parts of the ceiling rained down. The kids crawled under the tables and cowered in the small coverage they had. Metal scraped on metal and parts of the entire building collapsed. Part of the classroom ceiling fell and pinned Ambi down against the floor. She screamed out in pain; “AMBI” alice yelled out. She screamed in horror as she watched her best friend being pinned by the huge slab of rock. Everything went silent and the ash filled the air, at no moment in the history of America had it ever been so silent.

 There was nothing, no electricity, no cars or airplanes, nothing. The only sound to pierce the air was the hacking sound of the classmates coughing. As the ash settled the looked around at the ruins of a classroom. Metal beams littered the floor and nearby desk as well as light fixtures. Alex looked at the huge gaping hole in the ceiling. “Holy shit” she whispered in disbelief.                                                      

(Start music right about now for it to work well..  its on the left c:) 

Papers and glass littered the floor. Bethany and Alice ran to where ambi was trapped. They pulled the boulder slabs off the broken desk. The desk was utterly destroyed by the impact of the wreckage. Ambi laid in the middle of it all; her body jutted and contorted in weird awkward angles, a small whimper escaped her lips.

Tearing up, she desperately tried to choke out a few words.

“I-I c-can’t feel a-anything” “E-everything’s numb and I-I can’t m-move”

“It’ll be o-okay” Alice whispered. “It’s j-just the shock” Everyone gathered around the two girls and stood in a somber circle. Bethany and alex were quietly crying while the rest stood in a mournful silence. The ash had mostly settled and the entire school stood in tragic bliss.  “y-you know; I don’t really regret anything anymore; because I know everything will be okay” ambi croaked barely audible. Everyone leaned in to hear her last words. “Get everything out now so no one is left hanging about you” alice cried to her friend. “I always contemplated suicide, but now that death is so close; Im terrified” ambi’s eyes lit up while saying this.  “I never meant to go like this but I guess, if this is it then I should be happy. I remember all the kids yelling at me, yelling awful things to me.” “I never had a friend all of middle school. I was always alone, and when I went home I was only met by the sour smell of alcohol and my mom crying in her room” The air in the room thickened and grew, if possible, more silent. “And she would always cry about the way her life ended up, and he would just… just hit her in front of me. I could never do anything, but he never left me unscathed” she breathed out. She winced in pain, her complexion was grey and the light in her eyes was dim and faded. “every night after 5 beers and a good beating on my mom, he ventured into my room and told me what a worthless whore I was, naturally I had grown accustomed to this, but I never got used to the defilement he threw onto me, using me for his own pleasure and then simply tossing my sobbing body back on the bed” “fucking whore; he always told me, in a way he was right” she muttered. Her tear strained face was losing its once bright pink blush. Alice crouched over her body, her body raking with silent tears.

“I remember one time, he didn’t use protection, didn’t even pull out, and didn’t even have the fucking decency to keep it out of me. And just like that, I was pregnant, with his fucking baby; HIS FUCKING ALIEN THAT HE BROUGHT UPON ME” she was now sobbing hysterically. “AND HE FUCKING SITS THERE WITH HIS BEER AND JUST LOOKS AT ME. JUST FUCKING STARES. AND YOU KNOW WHAT HE SAYS” “THE BASTARD CALLS ME A FUCKING WHORE AND PUNCHES ME IN THE STOMACH” she cried out, she stopped now, her tears overwhelming her and the room filled with her sobs. Everyone was crying now, not just crying, sobbing hysterically for the poor girl who lost her innocence, the poor misunderstood girl who withheld so much information and was so strong.

“……i-I lost the b-baby that night. Blood everywhere, and in the middle was the small baby, now dead. And I let out the mournful shrieks that every mother goes through when losing a child.” She whispered.  “its dead….and…its all my fault… its eyes never even opened yet it lost so much blood…. And I loved it…” she laid silently staring to the ceiling.  “ambi” alice croaked out “AMBI” she shook the girl vigorously. Alice laid sobbing in the pool of blood that was her best friend. And ambi died next to the girl she loved, but never had the confidence too admit because she was so afraid of being unwanted.
