When Jamie returned home, he looked like he had just seen a ghost.
He always looks great or 'piff' as the cool kids say in his adidas tracksuit but today, he looked well, different.

"Jay, whats wrong, you look shattered. Tell me boo." I tell him whilst taking my bag from him.
He didn't reply, he just continues to stare at the floor.
"Jamie!!?"
He mumbles something, then
"Boo, its unbelievable out there, its frightening. Everyone, they've changed. They're different. Something bad is happening. People were chasing me, trying to break into your place. I took all the valuables, all your clothes, but I don't know what they were doing. They're mad. They're maniacs. I'm so sorry. They...........,they......., they set your house alight. I'm so sorry. I took and did everything that I could. I'm so sorry. But, no matter what happens, promise me that we'll stick together?"
"Of couse. Um, forever" I stutter.

There is a storm outside. Makes the house creek, makes petrifying noises. You can hear the leaves from the trees rustling in the ghastly and bitterly cold wind. The twigs hitting your window, its like being slapped in the face ten times. You can hear the rain plummeting down at hundreds of miles per hour as you lie in bed awake, thinking of what's tomorrow's going to bring.
He is stroking my hair, tucking my fringe behind my ears so that he can see my face. We both have a similar coloured hair; dark blonde. He kisses me on my forehead and I giggle as he tickles me. I turn to face him and we make immediate eye contact. We stare. We are really close, we feel each others presence. We can read straight through each other, that's why we are really bad liars!
But recently, we've changed, grown closer.
But why? Why are we growing so close? Why? Is it meant to be, why? Humans at this current point in time are making there world look like a disgrace. Why?

Why is this happening? Why?
