1 Where it all began...
"Dan! don't make me fucking shoot you man!"
"do it... I'm sick and tired of all these anyways..."
slowly, Dan was raising his hand... he's pointing his shotgun at me now...
"well, it's been a good run, Jo..."
"Daaaaaan! stop it" I said, still my .45 caliber pointed at his forehead, Lind was unconscious at his feet, slowly bleeding from her right shoulder. Dan shot her.
"crazy, huh?" Dan said smiling as he was slowly squeezing the trigger of the 12 gauge pointed at my gut...
"DAAAAAN!"
him or us?
I pulled the trigger...
my name is Jo, I am 15 years old, I am what you would call a school all-rounder, I have quite a few friends, we hang out no problem, we fool around sometimes, we laugh we cry, we had our fair share or trouble in and out of school. in simpler terms, we are quite normal, except for a few minor details.
"yo, usual place?" said Dan reffering to a computer shop we always hang out in.
"meh... don't have cash, man." I said.
Dan here is my best bud, we grew up together since our houses were next to each other.
he's a decent guy, sure, we got our flaws, hey, nobody's perfect yeah?
we slumped to a nearby bench, without nothing to do but bake in the sun.
"yeah, about that... maybe we can... y'know... 'borrow' some?" Dan said.
"nope. no can do, last time I did, mom was furious because it was our grocery money."
(I may have had some trouble with my mom's purse whenever I ran out)
"nice...well, nothing to do but wait for something to happen here at this god forsaken park then, I guess!" Dan boringly said.
I just shrugged it off...it was a nice off school day, and just chillin' out here was good enough for me.
suddenly, there she was, more dazzling than the sun, the girl who I had a crush on since god-knows-when, Lindsay.
"crap, dude, your mouth, dammit..."
"huh, oh! thanks man..."
apparently, my mind went to outer space and my mouth was hanging... Dan is still the best wing man ever.
gotta play it cool, gotta have swag...
I gathered my inner strength, focused on my center of gravity, whispered on my mind, all of the people on Earth, lend me your strength, I will now do what I must, I feel my heart pumping with energy...
"th-this is it, this energy... my mind is going haywire, I...can....DO IIIIIITTTT!!!!"
as she was walking past us, I jolted straight up.
"H-HEY LIND!" I blurted out.
Slap!
no, I was not smacked in the face, it was Dan face palming and snickering, in the most obviously annoying way, stupid bastard.
"Oh! oh hey Jo, heh..." Lind said smiling
did...did she just laughed?
now, don't get me wrong, I KNOW that kinda laugh, I read too many mangas and comics to know that that laugh, was a good sign!
aaaaaaaand I lagged.
"hi Lind!"
it was Jenny, lind's bff.
"oh, hi Dan, and umm... Jo." said Jenny
"Hey Jen!" said Dan still giggling
"Hi..." I was cut off from what I was gonna say, when Jenny took Lind's arm and jokingly said..
"Lind's coming with me, and you guys just got left hanging"
Lind and Jenny was walking away from us before I had the chance to say anything
woah, women's intuition sure is scary!
"well, at least you got 1 point there!" said Dan
slumping back to the bench I said...
"yeah, I guess, better than nothing..."
I remembered what this bastard did earlier, I was about to punch him, (well, not punch PUNCH him, but, y'know how boys are, we joke about anything)
suddenly, it all went black...
"Jo!..."
"Dude! Dude! fuck! you ok dude?!?... C-can you hear me?"
I can barely hear Dan, everything's still blurry...
"Jo! come on man...dude, shit..."
BOOM!!!
w-was that an explosion?
"Jo! get your shit together man!"
still dizzy, I tried standing up...
I can barely grip Dan's hand to get up...
"Jo, man! stand up! hurry! we're gonna die if we stay here!"
now that my head's a bit clearer, why was Dan scared shitless?
BOOOM!
another explosion!
"what the hell?"
my eyes widened when I looked around us.
"...w-what happened, Dan?"
"I don't know dude, I don't know..."
everything was burning, the buildings were wrecked, cars are exploding, people are running, bloodied, and screaming everywhere, the ground had massive cracks here and there, it was as if the ground was giving way for something below us...
instinctively, I checked my self, holy crap!, I'm bleeding a bit from the back of my head!
I thought of my phone, gotta call Mom and Dad! I have to know if they're okay...
I pulled out my smartphone from my pocket, as I feared, no signal...
"I tried to call from mine, got no signal either man! what the shit are we gonna do!?" Dan said
"dude, first of all, calm the fuck down, second, thank you for not leaving me to die!"
"sure dude, but what're we gonna do?"
"logically, we should go home first and check our families..." I said, trying to calm Dan down.
I myself is scared out of my wits, but in this situation, calming down is really important if you don't want to get rekt...
suddenly, we heard a loud scream.
cold sweat ran down the back of my neck...
it was Lindsay's scream!
we ran to the direction of the scream.
