We arrive at the hotel, and again more breaking news is announced.
"People have left America successfully but those in New York and Washington, haven't had it so lucky. Millions killed and injured, the US army will be defending from tomorrow morning."

I switch the TV off.
I can't believe this. We will be in the UK for much longer than first anticipated.

Everywhere you go, everyone was talking about the mass destruction that has taken place in America.

"Dad?" I ask.
"Yes love."
"Is it going to get better?" I ask, eyes trailing the ground.
My dad places the palm of his hand, under my chin and raises my hand.
"I hope so. But right now, I don't know what to believe."

(The Next Day.)

I didn't sleep last night. Actually, it's not that I didn't sleep, I couldn't.
Mingus was to arrive today. At 10am. And it was 5 now.

Every time I close my eyes, all I see is the news report replaying in my mind.

Chandlers parents are due to arrive tonight, I hope them and Grayson are okay, I really do.
I go to my phone, and I have no reply from madison.

"Are you okay?!!" She asked.
"I'm good, shaken, but good."
"Okay, hope you feel better soon. Xxx"

That was my last text from Madison. I haven't heard from her since the car accident. What if...
No. Don't think like that, she's fine. She was in...
"Shit! Dad!" I scream.
I run into my dad's room, and switch on the lights.
"Madison was in New York at the time of the attack..."
I sit on his bed, and begin to cry.
"Okay, erm...let me try and get hold of her parents."

My dad grabs his phone, and all I hear is voicemail. This can't be the end of mine and her friendship.

After hearing the phone go to voicemail several times, I rush out of my room to find chandler.
I scream down the hotels hallways, and his face appears out of his room.
"Yes?" He says, rubbing his blue eyes
"Madison. I think she's dead." I sob.
"What?"

I jump into his arms, and cry. I can't control this. My bestfriend could be dead.
My bestfriend...could have fallen victim and I would never know?

"She'll be okay." Chandler says, wiping under his eyes.
"She was in New York. She was in New York!" I cry out.
"I need you to stay calm and positive. She'll be okay..."
He says grabbing my hand.
"And what if she isn't?!" I shout.

"Why are you taking your anger out on me?!" Chandler exclaims, standing up.
"I need you to stay calm and positive" I say mocking him.
"how would you feel if it was Grayson, or your parents!" I shout.
It felt right to say that at the time, but now I feel worse.
"I'd feel like shit, and I do. So what is your problem!" He shouts.
"You! Telling me to stay calm...oh shut up! I wish it was you who died not Madison!"

I run out, crying down the hall. I run into my room, and i run pass my dad.
"Lauren?"
I ignore him, and run Into my bedroom, and slam the door. I turn the lock, and cry.

I said I wished my boyfriend was dead.
I'm a monster. I'm heartless. He'll never forgive me. I've lost him.
