How come it was me? I looked to my left to see nothing but rubble and destruction. My home. My family. Everything was gone from my life, I had nowhere to go nor nothing to do. My life was... Over. There was something warm yet oddly wet trailing down my face like a stream, I traced my hands back to where it came from and it was from my eyes I had seemed to be. Crying. My mind was blank and my body was numb. I stayed in the same place for minutes even hours trying to get a grip of my situation while watching the sea go to and fro, sweeping the remains of the rubble away until there was only me left. Just a small teenage girl with not a care in the world anymore since the only thing that kept me going was gone. My mother was gone. My hero was gone. She disappeared from this world leaving me behind. 

As hours go by my puzzled state was still secure until there was a slight nudge on my shoulder. I tensed up. Not knowing who or what was behind me. I turned round. My eyes widened in surprise, I couldn't believe what was in-front of me. Another survivor. I scrambled to my feet and jumped upon the person, who evidently was someone who I already knew. It was Haru my childhood friend. I stepped away from him to see what his state was like. Was it similar to mine? His eyes they were. Empty. Like a void that cannot be filled no matter who or what is around you, like the feeling of being left alone by yourself allowing your thoughts and mind overtake you into the abyss.

"What the hell happened?" 

 Haru's question sank into my mind, how do I answer this? I don't even know what happened myself.

"I...I...I don't know."

That was all I could say. That was all could reply. This was the second time that day that reality had sunken into my mind. Knowing that I'll be alone with nobody from my family to be by my side except for one person. Except for Haru. I tried to keep strong, oh how I tried but my deprived state, ridden body and swollen eyes could be seen from a mile away. Haru pulled me in closer towards his body, in a tight yet warm embrace for he had failed to control his emotions himself as steams slowly rolled downwards from his eyes. We stayed in that position for goodness knows how long it was. It was calming. 

As time went on I began to get tired, but I didn't want to go. Definitely not to THAT place.
