Disclaimer: I don't own anything
Note: After seeing everything that is happening around my country I needed to write something, and this is what happened.
He could only watch, watch in horror standing back as things turned to the destruction and chaos that nobody seemed able to believe. Australia sat down and watched the water, there was nothing left for him or the volunteers to do, the water was coming up and they had done all they could to protect what people called their own. He wanted to continue, to help more people and make things right, make that pain in himself disappear. Every time something happened he would smile and help, he would lend a hand even though inside he could feel it all happening, each moment hard to bare but he knew that he had to move on.
Looking aside he could see Queensland crying to herself off to the side, New South Wales holding her in his arms and watching as the water came in. Australia wanted to comfort his friends, to make them feel better but there was nothing he could say that could bring back the dead or even find the missing for the time being. Queensland buried her face into New South Wales, her hair piling over her face as a solemn state held her close. Australia knew it was hurting them too, no matter how much their fought and bickered about things they would always be close.
"Australia, mate, could you lend a hand?" Australia turned around from the two and looked over as Victoria was just digging and shovelling sand by himself, a smile on his face still as he worked hard. He could still see the scars on the man's body, it hadn't been long since they all had been helping Victoria and now the man was returning the favour, it was just what they did, they helped out no matter the cost. Australia picked up his shovel and moved over to Victoria, giving the man a pat on the back he went to work with the digging.
It was all they could do.
