It's been two days since the Africa drop. In the cage next to mine I saw Amanda hugging her knees sitting down in rn he corner. "Amanda. It'll be ok. Trust me." I told her sitting down in a corner hugging my knees. "How do you know? Hollys dead." She said sniffling. "Because we were on that cruise ship that crashed. I lost someone very close to me there. His name was Cole. We also lost an enemy of mine, Bella. We lost people. There- there were so many bodies, dead people everywhere." I said, going on and on remembering everything that happened in fear. "A woman on fire, blood. Blood in the water. Blood everywhere. So much death and destruction." I said staring straight ahead. "Sandy! Sandy snap out of it!" Kelly was shaking me, with Jared behind her. "What happened? I asked them. "You went into some trance and started talking about what happened on that cruise thing." Jared told me. The doors opened up and three terrorists walked in, along with someone in a suit. One of the terrorists started talking in some language. The man in the suit said "he says, this is translator Marco. You will all be subjected to a type of gas that makes you dream and feel like your having a conversation with the 5 people you miss the most." After that they left, but not before throwing in bottles of this type of gas. "Sandy!" I heard Matt yell. "Sandy are you ok?" He called out to me. I coughed. "I'm ok!" I yelled tracking out for Kelly and Jared. I couldn't find them. I tripped over two unconscious bodies. I took a closer look and saw it was Jared and some random kid. Kelly was running towards me but she passed out knocking me over. On the ground I passed out while hearing kids screaming. I was wandering around in this White wasteland. There were two chairs. In one of them was my mom. "Mom?" I ran over to her and hugged her. "Hi sweetie." She said to me. She was in her running clothes. "Where are you? I've missed you." She said depressed. "I've missed you too, I'm on a plane, with these awful terrorists, mom they dropped Henry in Africa!" I yelled crying into her. She rubbed my back. "Well let's hope that scrub doesn't get Ebola." She said. I pulled away from her. "What?" I asked her confused. "Oh nothing, just that Henry could get Ebola." She said casually. "Did you call him a scrub?" I asked her. She quickly responded. "So how's Matt?" She asked me smiling. "We're separated." I told her sitting in my chair. "How's Janet?" I asked her smiling, remembering Janet's smile. "Why don't you ask her yourself?" She said smiling as Janet appeared as my mom disappeared. "Hi sis!" She called to me, her front left tooth missing. "Hi so how's it been?" I asked her trying to be strong for her. "Good. Except yesterday Dylan Smith took my kitty pencil!" She said crossing her arms. I laughed as I told her once I got home I would buy her a lot. "Sandy is this really you?" She asked me. "What do you mean?" "Well I'm dreaming right now and I want to know if this is the real you." She told me. Wait. Are the people were talking too, they're actually here, talking back to us. They'll remember all of this. I'm having an actual conversation with my little sister. "Yes Janet it's me." I told her rubbing her arm. "Janet can you do me a favor?" I asked her. "Of course!" She said. "When you wake up, I want you to call the police and tell them well be flying over Europe in a few days, then Asia, Australia, Antarctica, South America, then North America and will be repeating that route even though well all be on different continents by then." I told her. "Ok." She said running away and fading. "No Janet wait!" I yelled but it was too late. "Look at you, all grown up." A mans voice said. I turned around. I stood there shocked and amazed. I started crying. "There there sweetheart." My dad said hugging me. "I never thought I would see you again." I said crying. "Dad it's been terrible. For the past month I've hated every single moment of it." I told him. "Oh I know baby but you've been strong through it all." He said reassuring me. "Cole was gay, thank god. No boys by the way. And Henry whoo thank god he's with Becca because no boys. And Matt? Matt is a boy. There should be no boys. But I've seen the way you two look at each other. Matt is good for you. And I've known Matt ever since he was born. Kelly too, but I've never met Justin before." He said to me. "Dad, is Henry ok?" I questioned looking up at him. "He's fine. He landed on the ground safely and they made him the new leader. He picked the lock on the cage but the trucks get them before they could run away." He told me. "Sorry baby, I have to go. I love you." He Sjajd fading into nothingness. I never got to say I love you, or bye. That's the second time that he's left forever and I didn't get to say bye. Cole appeared. "Hey!" I yelled to him laughing. "Hey back," he said laughing. "Wow. Things have been pretty insane since I've gone, haven't they." He said smiling. "Stop smiling." I said trying to look Away. "Why? Is it too attractive? He asked. "No it's distracting you literally haven't stopped smiling since you've appeared." I told him. "Remember that fire woman on the cruise? Well I talked to her, up in heaven, and it turns out I wasn't the only one killed by the terrorist leader." He informed me. "You mean he set her on fire?" I asked him astounded. "No, well yes, kinda, he was the one who caused the ship to sink. He made the boiler explode." He told me waving goodbye as he faded into thin air. "Well was it nice seeing him?" Bella's annoying cocky voice said from behind me. I turned slowly around and saw it was Bella. "Why are you one of the five people I miss most?" I asked her. "Oh no reason." She said looking at me. "Bella im so sorry. I think it's my fault for your death. I feel responsible." I told her. "Why? I'm the one who tackled you. It's Henry fault for tackling me into the water. I really don't like that scrub." She said shaking her head. "Does everyone think Henry's a scrub?" I asked her. "Pretty much. Sandy I just wanted to tell you you were so nice and considerate about my death and funeral while I was so mad about it. I was so mean to you yet you go through so much to get my body back. Your a great person." She said blushing as she grabbed my hand and disappeared. I jolted up on the ground, and Kelly woke up on top of me. Everyone else was getting up, most people crying. Jared wasn't. "Who'd you see Jared?" I asked him. "My mom dad brother best friend and my Sister." He answered "then why aren't you crying?" I asked him. "Because I'm a rock." He said staring straight ahead. Becca asked me. "Who'd you see Sandy?" "I saw my sister, my mom, my dead dad, Cole, and for some reason, Bella." "Why Bella?" She asked me. "No idea." I said turning to Amanda. "Who'd you see Amanda?" I asked her. "I saw holly." She said staring ahead. "I saw one other thing." She said looking at me. "What was it?" I asked her. She looked at me as a single tear went down her face. "Starbucks." She said to me.
