Becoming a Starkid:
"The storms really angry out there mum, you sure we are safe." I said anxiously if I'm honest I was scared. I know I should be used to storms by now living in Texas but I can't help feeling something bad is going to happen.
"Calm down Rose, nothing bad is going to happen, you are perfectly safe." My mum stroked my hair in an attempt to calm me. She was probably right. But why was I so bothered. Well I guess it's because me and a group of my friends. Michael, Luke, Adrian, Isabella and Jess are going over to the University of Michigan in a couple of weeks and I wanted everything to be perfect.
Three hours later
Finally the storm had blown over, but the powers still down. We haven't heard anything other than that.
Yet another hour later
There was a knock at the door. My mum was trying to see what was still working after the storm. So I ran down and got the door myself. When I opened the door there was two police officers at the door. UH OH. Police officers at the door that's never good. I quickly scanned my brain to see if I could remember anything bad I done. Nothing significant.
"Hello I'm P.C Lemmings and this is P.C Hooper. Can we come in?"
"Sure I guess." We sat down on the couch and my mum brought some tea in. That's when they told me the whole story. My boyfriend Adrian was dead and Michael was seriously injured. They had been driving along when a sudden lightning stroke scared Adrian and he swerved into a tree which fell and crushed the car. Dead. My Boyfriend. The love of my life gone. Forever. I ran into my room and started crying. How was I supposed to go on?
Two weeks later
Adrian's funeral has been and gone. The last time I will ever get to see him gone. Today I was heading to the U of M still. I decided to go as I knew Adrian wanted me to. It would just be me, Jess, Luke, Isabella and Michael. There for each other as we had always been.
"Are you sure you are ok to go. After everything that has happened?" My mum asked she has been worrying about me since I found out about Adrian. This is another reason I have to leave I don't want her to be worrying about me anymore.
"Yes mum, I'm fine. I have a new home and new places to go to. It is going to be a great adventure."I replied managing to force a smile. I packed everything into my car and waved my mum goodbye. She was crying me off but I knew it was something I had to do. I picked up Jess and Isabella and we headed off the Michigan Ann arbour.
