" Wow just great, time to turn around huh," laura said as she turned the down the left way of the forest. She had barely had enough time to grab or pack anything, all she managed to grab was, pair of black leggings. a few shirts, her phone, and a picture of her mom. Laura Jenkins was a 23-year-old woman. She always managed to find her self in deadly situations, most of them weren’t deadly they were just things like tripping in the middle of nowhere or finding getting in dangerous situations, but now this was an actual deadly situation, She just so happened to be in the middle of an apocalypse.She gad just found out about three hours ago. She was sitting watching "Keeping Up With The Kardashians"( which was her favorite show) when she got up o et some water and fresh air before she watched the next episode, she went outside and sat on her bench, "huh, damn it looks like outside just threw up and was not happy about it lmao", she said to herself just joking around. " Wait what ........Nah I’m just tripping,","holy shit" she then realized it was happening the world was in an apocalypse. Everyone knew this was going to happen the news kept talking about it and everyone around her for months but never did she realize that would happen, let alone today. As soon as she registered it she went to dial Jaden. Jaden and Laura were best friends since middle school, they had been through a lot together, Laura's mom dieing jadens parents divorcing, laura's breakups, and jadens breakups, the list could go on and one. Everyone always thought Jaden and Luara would end up together, but laura always tried to break the saying" Guys and girls can never be just friends" and she just never saw Jaden in any way than a friend." Bro do you know what is happening right now I barely even know how to think properly right now" " Yeah man I know" "Ohh my gosh, we’re going to fucking die, were going to die. Were going die like this, I can’t fucking believe this, I never even got a chance to finish the next episode," she said sadly "Look laura I need you to come down, cause whenever you get like this you start cussing obnoxiously, and it not so cute "COME DOWN, COME FUCKING DOWN. Were going to die and all your worried about is me calming down. look I love you Jaden but ooooohhh weeee, sometimes I just want to fucking knock the ever-living shit out of you. " He stayed silent after that, and just when I was about to yell at him the line spoke, "First of all, stop cussing at me it’s not scary or cute, it kinda sounds like your a newborn chipmunk with a squeaky voice and all. And Second of all, so what if we die, I mean didn’t you expect to die, you can’t just live forever you know'' " Yes, I know I’m supposed to die and it was bound to happen, but I mean come on I’m only 23 Fucking Years Old, I barely just started living my life and now I’m just going to fucking die, just like that. like what t.............ahhhhhh" suddenly when laura was coming a big bomb type fire blasted through the door to the kitchen where she was talking to Jaden."Laura what happens? what happen to talk to me? are you hurt?LAURA" Jaden said as he heard the sudden bomb through the line. Thankfully, laura didn’t get hurt badly. when it, it through her to her room. when she found her phone through all the smoke she was grateful Jaden was still on the line."Hello(cough, cough) yea I’m still here, Jaden?" " Oh my god your alive, oh thank god, Look get the hell out of there you need to fucking hid now" "What do you mean, I have nowhere to hide, did you forget the reason that blew up and why I fucking called you,?" '' No dumb ass, You need to find some way to leave, yeah I know go through the window in your second bathroom," "Oh wow genius idea, so you want me to try to sneak out my window outside that I don’t even know is outside anymore and just find some random place that isn’t blown up, which would probably be nowhere by now, and fucking hide by myself, with no one around just to die that way, huh I couldn’t have thought of a better idea." "You know sarcasm is not needed right now. What meant was grab a backpack and fill it with all the important things you need, Jump out the window and I will meet I you in the forest, it wot take me long since I live like two blocks from you," Yeah, and once again your forgetting the world is ending dude," "Just trust me, Laura," " And what makes you know all this, you just expect me to do it, like how do you even know what to do. Do you like practice for dieing weirdo," God Damn, for the one time would you just fucking listen to me, the one time that your life depended on it, so please just do it, ill meet you there in 30 mins if I’m not dead," Bu... ", before she could argue any further he hung up, "That son of a bitch.", "well, it is not like I have a choice now."

Dear Readers(if there are any Lmao) But on a serious note, this is my very first time writing a story, even if it is as little as this one is. I'm very sorry if my story doesn't make sense to you, Has many spelling errors and has many grammar errors. Once again I'm very sorry if you experience these things, but believe me when I say I thought very hard about this. Speaking of I have never written or have used this topic. So please bear with me. Thank you so much and if you are reading this I love you soooooo muchhhhh.
