The Day That Never Happened

I was so happy. My three best friends were coming over to my house. They were all bringing something. Greg brought the three 12 packs of Mountian Dew and Coke. Joey brought a crap load of candy, and Frank was bringing movies and chips. Frank was first to arrive at 6:00. Then Greg and Joey arrived at the same time, which was 6:10. We talked about movies, Call of Duty, girls. Basically everything guys would talk about. Then we fell asleep at 1 a.m from a sugar crash.

5:32 a.m

Joey and I woke up. We were very tired and surprisingly, all was quiet. That was odd, because I lived next to a major highway. We woke up Greg and Frank. We quietly headed upstairs, since we slept in the basement, but no one was there. This, not being unusual, so we waited for my parents to wake up.

7:56 a.m

My parents still weren't awake, so I went up to their room to wake them up. But they weren't there. It was a Monday, so we got ready to go to school. Since my parent's weren't there, I made everyone's lunch, and we went to the bus stop.

8:02 a.m

I live on a hill with lots of other people. Usually it is bustling with action and noise, but today it was silent. Not like your movie theater silent, but a more disturbingly awkward eerie silence. A silence which I have never heard. Frank and I looked at each other in a troubled way, when Greg said, "come on we're going to be late." So we hurried along our way.

8:23 a.m

We got to the bus stop 7 minutes early. We just sat around waiting for it. Joey, Greg, Frank and I began talking about what our classes would be like. Frank told me that he and his girlfriend were going out today after school. We were all weirded out that no one or nothing was around. Joey fell asleep on a bench.

9:23 a.m

The bus hadn't arrived yet, so we decided to walk to school since school was only a mile away. "Yo Joey are you alright dude? you've been really quiet today" Greg said.

"Yeah I'm fine, just weirded out" Joey replied.

10 a.m

We arrived at school, but nothing was there. The front door was open so we decided to investigate. The inside was trashed. Papers, backpacks and notebooks were scattered around like a tornado had hit it. The classrooms were trashed too.

"Oh my God, this is like out of a horror movie" Greg said. Then, just in earshot, we heard a faint roar.

"What was that?!" Joey said.

"I dont know!" I replied.

10:10 a.m

We ran out of the school as fast as we could, when we realised something wasn't right.

"Hey... where's Joey?". I exclaimed

"I thought he was with you." Frank said. We looked toward the school again, and saw Joey run out... crying.

10:25 a.m

"Are you ok Joey?" Frank said.

"No...they're all dead...all of them..." He whispered.

"Joey what the hell are you talking about?" I questioned.

"I... I saw them..." Joey replied, still whispering.

"Who?" I asked again.

"Your parents, Frank's girlfriend, and...my sister" Joey murmured.

I choked and Frank was tearing up. Had we survived something no one else did and if we did... how?

10:35 a.m

We headed for the nearest car. Frank could hotwire cars, so we headed for the city.

10:40 a.m

We followed to road to a sign, which said Portland ahead. We kept driving.

10:50 a.m

"What the hell?" Frank exclaimed.

"What?" Greg asked.

"Look where we are." He replied.

"The school?" I said, rather confused.

"Maybe you went the wrong way?" Joey asked.

"He didnt." I answered. "He was going the right way."

"Ah!" Greg gasped.

"What is it?!" I questioned.

"L-look..."

11:01 a.m

"I don't see an-...Holy crap what the heck is that?!" I yelled.

"I don't fucking know!" Greg yelled back.

11:05 a.m

"It's getting closer!" Joey said.

11:10a.m

"Fuck! It's almost at the car!" Frank said, fear in his voice.

Then Frank closed his eyes and so did I. The last thing I saw before I closed them, was Greg and Joey staring at the thing.

5:32 a.m

Frank and I woke up but Greg and Joey weren't there. We rushed up the stairs to find my mom reading the Sunday paper.

"Where is Greg and Joey" I asked her.

"Don't you remember honey?" she said. "They died 2 weeks ago, in a freak gas station fire."

DUNDUNDUN.
