I await on my bed at 4 p.m. on a Tuesday night alone waiting for my mom to come home. It was only a house of three; Mom, little brother and myself. I grabbed my diary and began to write.
Dear diary: Dec, 20th 2012

From: Jamie
The sun began to set. My house was silent all u could here was the ticking of my clock. Then I heard the door SLAM! moms home!
"Jamie? Come here please." mom sounded worried
" yes?" i replied.
"our neighbour Bob is going to watch you for the night. I have to go back to work. I'll be home as soon as possible... promise."
"But mom.. is is something wrong?" I asked
The door shut and i heard the car role out of the garage. Bob, turned on the t.v., I skipped up the steps and sat in my room again. I had so many thoughts in my head: she only works as a scientist.. what can be so important? Then these thought brought me back to my dad. He left to go to war 1 year ago. Haven't heard from him since. Tears trickled down my face. i miss him so much. I lay on my bed. in the dark. Alone. Like my world is ending all too fast. I tucked my head in my pillow and closed my eyes...
I woke up with a start! looked at my clock. 10 p.m. i fell asleep! my baby brother was crying in the next room. He finally awoke, I go to see him "Joe? Are you alright?" as I sat beside him.
"I-I-I need mommy." Tears were rolling down his eyes.
"Shes not home. still working. You need to go to sleep again. You can see her in the morning." there he was asleep again. I sighed. And hopped back into bed. Goodnight. I said aloud. Goodnight mom.
7 a.m. I awoke from my sleep. Right then my mom yelled, "JAMIE! Get up! Were leaving. Now!"
What? Where? Why? I ran down stairs. there my mom opened the door get in the car. she snapped.
"Don't I need to grab my things?" I asked very confused
" You wont be needing them." She said sternly I hopped in the car and she drove off VERY fast.
I looked back at the house. I had no idea what was going on. The butterflies grew larger in my stomach. Yet, I didn't say a word. My brother sat in the back seat. He was somewhat happy. Road trip! Road Trip! he called out many times. it was about 9 a.m. now we have been driving for 2 hours straight! We were now out of New York. Far Far away. My mom still hasn't said a word. Silence until... She began to talk,
" Were meeting my employer, Sally in L.A. Shes going to help us get safe." She exclaimed
" Safe? I asked. Whats going on?"
"I believe its time to let you know. The reason why I've been working late is because my studies show today... were all going to die." there was another moment of silence. " the forces in the earth are causing it to explode." she said quietly.
I immediately replied. "what about dad, is he still here with us? Its been a year. Tears rolled down my face.
"your dad is still here. He wrote back once a week. I have all the letters. But, I never showed you, i didn't want there to be an issue. I'm sorry."I stared at her for a minute and looked away. this is horrible.I thought to myself.
Right then My mom slammed the brakes! We stopped the world was shaking. MOM! MOM! What is happening? It has happened an hour earlier than we thought. We have to get out of here. Now, the world was shaking, people were all over the roads, and then... There was a crack in the middle. It was splitting up. My brother sat in the back seat looking around. He still had a smile on his face. Me on the other hand... panicked. My mom took a huge breathe, "Here's the plan,there's a open Field about 5 minutes ahead. Were gonna stay there and hope for the best. That's all we can do." She explained. We were there, hopped out of the car and sat on the Field there was smoke drifting all over the sky. The earth was shaking vividly now. Trees were falling, buildings collapsing. Pipes exploded there were pouisons gases everywhere. There were fires, everywhere. Now my brother sat in my moms arms. he was sure scared... Very scared almost like me. There were screaming people everywhere. I burst into tears! My life was over, over forever along with everyone else. there was no more use. I sat up and walked away from my mom toward the collapsing buildings. She was screaming at me: "STOP WHERE ARE YOU GOING!" I kept moving toward the building. as I took one more step. I heard a voice in the background.. "I'm here. Stop. I'll save you. You'll be safe." I recognised that voice. My dad. I spinned around no one was there. I looked everywhere. where was he? must of been in my head. I kept walking. good bye family goodbye friends. It sure was the best 12 years ever.
Jamie.. wake up.. wake up.. There it was again. And i woke up with a start! Jamie your awake. "Dad? is that you!" I asked. "yes, I'm here. forever now with the family." "But, I had the most horrible dream." I exclaimed. "why don't you come downstairs with me and your mom. you can tell us all about it." He whispered. I threw my arms around him. "sounds great." They both walked down stairs as a family again. :) Jamie thought to herself... This IS the way it should be. I can finally call us a family again.
THE END!
