Leaving Planet Earth

The year was 2030. Everybody thought the world would have ended by now. Everybody on the planet were running out of food and water. Nature was slowly deteriorating. It wasn't a good year with almost half the World in a drought. Everybody had thought that by the year 2020 the San Andreas fault line would have shifted causing destruction all over California and other near by states. Of course that didn't happen with all the rest of our false predictions in the past years. More and more mega cities have been built, destroying habitats and causing animals to become more extinct. We also thought that we were alone in the universe but boy were we wrong. Since the year 2020, we had more and more frequent visits from extraterrestrials. They didn't do anything to harm us human beings. We haven't had any threats to planet earth by asteroids or meteors.
I had a normal life that every other teenager had. I didn't know, something was to happen that would change my life forever. Everything changed.
