Chapter 2: Confusion On So Many Levels

Camila just finished taking a shower. She was now clothed in her radio interview attire. It was a simple combination of a flannel and ripped skinny jeans yet she looks so good. Ravishing even.

She was in her bed reading a book while Normani was channel surfing. Just as Ally came out of the shower, Normani stopped on a particular channel.

"What the?" she heard Normani say. She looked up from her book and looked over at Normani who was now standing close to the television with arms crossed over her chest.

"No.. That's not possible.." Normani said with pure terror. This made Camila put her book on the bedside table and hastily made her way over to her friend. Ally quickly went into the walk-in closet and changed.

"What's going on?" Camila asked. Normani looked at her with confused and horrified features.

"Look." she pointed to the television. It was currently on a news channel. There was heavy traffic behind the lady reporter and people were scrambling out of their cars. They were all running away. But from what?

"It's just in. The disease discovered last week is now spreading fast. It has spread all over New York and now the authorities are making their move to safely evacuate as much uninfected citizens as possible."

"The military are now trying to contain the disease and are trying to push back citizens who are resisting the barricades. They are putting up roadblocks to keep citizens away from the contaminated area."

"The government is advising everyone to stay indoors and don't let anything or anyone inside you're household."

"This is Coleen Jackson live from-"

The camera spun to its side and now it's lying on the ground. All they can see are people's feet running towards a single direction. It was literally a stampede. They saw a kid got pushed and a woman, probably her mom, picked her up and carried her while she did her best to maneuver through the stampede.

Camila's jaw was hanging with what she has seen.

Disease? Since when?

She looked over to her right to ask Normani something but the girl wasn't there anymore. She frantically looked around the room. At last, she saw Normani staring out the big window. She cautiously made her way over and she couldn't believe what she was seeing.

Heavy traffic and people running away. She opened the window and the chaotic sound of car honks and people screaming immediately invaded their ears. Ally joined them oversee the chaos below them.

"Oh my god.." the tiny girl said, covering her mouth in shock. She felt tears stinging her eyes. She faced the girls beside her.

"What's going on?" she asked, horror evident in her tone. Camila looked at her in sympathy, shaking her head, while Normani just continued analyzing the chaos.

"We need to leave. Now." the dark-skinned girl said in a stern tone. Both the other girls nodded and they immediately packed the necessary stuff they need. Food, water, clothes. In the middle of packing up, Ally called the other girls and told them to pack up. Apparently, they already heard and saw what was happening and are already packing up as well.

"Meet you guys here, okay? Take care." Ally ended the call. She walked over to Camila and Normani who were double checking their food and water supply.

"Why are we stocking on food and water again?" Ally asked, helping Camila zip the bag close. Normani stood up and swung one of the bags over her shoulder, checking the weight of it perhaps.

"It's gonna be the apocalypse. People are gonna raid stores for food, water, and supplies. We need to gather as much of these as possible before we run out of it. As of right now, this is all we can salvage."
